Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Prologue:
I was the fourth doctor to travel to Bolton in the hopes of stopping the plague that had swept over the town. The first had himself died of the illness; the second fled, claiming there was nothing that could be done. The third vanished.
The doctor who left claimed it was a particularly stubborn form of cholera, one that wouldn't respond to any of our treatments or preventative measures. My own researches have led me to the same conclusion. The town had largely fallen into decay. The population had dwindled to fewer than fifty; most of those that could leave had done so and those left behind were dying off.
As with any plague like this, suspicions about the "real" cause were many. Church services were always full, as the town gathered to hear sermons of fire and brimstone and uttered prayers of repentance. I was resented wherever I went--I labored vainly, and each night and day, more died. Some of the more paranoid among them turned their suspicions toward their neighbors--rumors of poisons spread around Bolton. The classic New England fear of witchcraft was back in full force. I heard not a few half-remembered tales of Satanic cults and eldritch rites.
The suspicions threatened to tear the town apart as much as the plague itself. Malice hung in the air like a miasma.
Perhaps the town was indeed beyond saving.
***
My notes were gone.
The past few days had proven fruitful, as I began to uncover the reasons behind my difficulty--there had indeed been at least some murders. I found more and more signs of poison. The village's paranoia had perhaps not been misplaced. I meant to keep my findings to myself until I could definitively find the solution, fearing the potential explosion that revelation would bring about. I feared that confirmation of the village's suspicions would cause what was now just tension, to escalate into full-blown violence.
It seemed that it was too late now. My notes were stolen--they had to have been--and my fears would come true.

Rules:
Each night, the village votes someone for execution, e.g. I !vote for Elendil. Retractions are not necessary. You can retract votes; it's just not required if you're simply changing your vote. If you want to retract, but don't want to vote again right away, that's fine.
Only certain forms of death will reveal a player's role and affiliation. Other players' will remain unknown until you exhume the body. To exhume a body, vote for a dead player (e.g. I! vote for Elendil). Exhumation will reveal role, affiliation, and cause of death.
Voting closes at 10 PM EST (all role actions must also be in by that time).
A tied execution vote is RNGed.
In a tied exhumation vote, the last vote wins.
No anonymous contacting, sharing of role PMs is okay (as they will be public anyway so who gives a fuck).
If for some reason, you find it necessary to drop out of the game, PM your intentions to Elendil.
All players got villager PMs.
There are six cultists, three in each cult.
Request clarifications as usual, e.g. Clarification: etc.

Is Zot the seer?
I think Elendil might have edited those in there after Picardathon asked the question.
In the OP
Clearly, he is one of THEM!!!
Yes Medopine, I know. Sarcasm is hard on intarweb forums.
And Umlauts, if I were evil, I'd be coming up with reasons right now why we should vote for you. Instead, I'm tired, I have to get up at 5:30am tomorrow (again) and I'm hoping we win the Star Trek mini phalla.
I'm amazed Zot doesn't have 14 votes against him already!
This is fun.
You could try voting for him, at least.
Alright Drez, you can log off Marx's account and let him be retarded all on his own... here though, Raakam can die if it makes you happy.
Oh. >.>
Ok, well, !vote Pretentious. He's being a meanie-head.
Is anyone here a mormon? I just had one knock on my door a few minutes ago and I want my revenge.
And off to bed. Let's see where this will be tomorrow morning.
Borderlands 2 PA Xbox Metatag - Bazillion Guns
Yeah, one Drez-type argument is enough to last a while. I don't want to see another one here.
!Vote Pretentious
wait, why does everything look so grey?
vote raakam
that's just what you want us to think
You defending yourself makes me even more suspicious of you....
I'm onto you, DA
EDIT: Hey, my sig is too tall? There are plenty of people in here with taller sigs
'We' in this case being...?
Also
!Raakam
Because good things always come from bandwagoning.
I will retract when he brings back my tools.
!vote for Pretentious
It's fantastic though, because you can talk to people privately, and have more time.
A fair trade-off.
