Welcome to “The Stand” Mafia! This theme is a book written by Stephen King, and is considered his magnum opus. It’s the largest book he’s ever written, and to many fans of King, is considered an unparalleled masterpiece, even in comparison to his many other popular works.
It is about a pandemic that starts after a patient zero for U.S. government bio weapons lab escapes, unleashing a deadly virus on the world. This virus is nicknamed “Captain Trips” and is a super flu similar to the Corona Virus but much more deadly.
This Virus wipes out 99% of the population. The survivors start seeing visions of either a friendly seeming old woman, or dark haunting images of a man in black.
Both visions guide them to either Las Vegas or Colorado, where the survivors understand they are destined to clash with the other group depending on which side they choose.
Also low-key promo: If you are interested in the theme of this game, you might want to check out the new show for it which will be premiering on December 17th, on CBS all access. I for one am pretty excited to watch it!
Rules, and some mod notes:
Standard rules apply, no editing/deleting posts, no outside communication from non mod created messages with other players in the game. All players role PM’s have a quote at the start of it, you can copy and paste the quote at the start of your PM, but when claiming please paraphrase your role pm itself. Flips will occur the following day phase. All players in this game were personally invited. I chose players I knew would be active, and put an effort it. I hate having to ping people multiple times, or find replacements, so if you got an invite it’s because I know you to be pretty active. If you have a question regarding rules please ask. I will not answer questions publicly in the phase.
If you have a question you can PM it to me. This is to avoid giving any potential game breaking information that could hurt the mafia team. I generally won’t answer questions about how roles work mechanically, unless that role is already flipped and in the graveyard. I do this just to play on the safe side as a mod, believe it or not sometimes even answering small questions can really screw over a scum team and it’s not fair to them.
Also as far as roles go, your understanding of how a role works might not be the same as mine. Sometimes I literally take a role from drafters role list and make it work mechanically as that list says it does, and sometimes I just take inspiration from the role and add my own tweaks to it. Sometimes I completely make roles up as an experiment as well. Sometimes my modding mechanics are not the same from game to game, IE if x shot roles keep their abilities on being roleblocked or not. Everything is on the table, and I mod each game separately according to the specific vision I have for it. If there are any questions on how a role role works that isn’t in the graveyard, I will refer you to this OP to make things simple.

- There are 2 mafia, and 1 joint winning third party in this game.
- One town role is either flavored or has a hidden mechanic.
