Unknown Armies: A Game of [PHALLA] and Consequences. Village and Cult win!

Background:
The Cosmos has died. The Cosmos is dying. The Cosmos will die again.

This is the true secret of the Occult Underground, the one that separates the poseurs from the players. The reason that anything gets done at the tippy top of the Underground? People want to control what the next world looks like. Since someone gets to make the next world in their image, it might as well be you, right? You could fix all the things the last bunch of fuckups got wrong.

You could be a god.

But... lots of people have the same idea. Crazy Mages and Crazier Assassins. Spider-eating Freaks and Geeks. Porno worshiping Cultsts and an honest-to-god wind-up Godzilla. Of course, those guys are a dime a dozen. Even scarier are the perfectly sane people who just really want a shit ton of power. Everyone and their grandmother wants one apocalypse, made-to-order and piping hot.

It's a pulp apocalypse, and you all have front-row seats for the steel-cage death match for all eternity.

But, right now, you've all got more immediate problems. The Occult Underground of New York had been standing on the precipice for well over a year. New York isn't just a Big, Rich City. It's THE Big, Rich City. Sure, there may actually be places that are actually bigger or richer than New York, New York, but everyone just knows that New York is where you go to hit it big or bust down to the gutters.

So, it's no surprise that some of the newest up-and-comers in the Occult Underground, the New Inquisition and the Cult of the Naked Goddess, are maneuvering to snag the city from the Sleepers and make it their own private playground. No one was willing to make the first move. Lines were drawn, and people weren't crossing them. Things were beginning to settle down to an uneasy stalemate.

Of course, that's when the Order of Saint Cecil rolled into town, and everything went straight to Hell...

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This is a Phalla, the Penny Arcade Forum's version of Mafia/Are You A Werewolf. However, this one is going to be a pretty experimental game, particularly lots of Alternate Win Conditions. I make no promises about the balance. I can say that I've had several people look over it, and they didn't laugh in my face yet, so I'm taking that as a good sign. However, please don't get mad at me if we end up with Immortal Prince @Langly.

Signups in Lime, and please sign up with a name in blue.
If this isn't a car wreck of a game, there may be more Unknown Armies games in the future, and survivors may get to play a part.

The Villager PM
You are a member of the Occult Underground!

You know the secret of this world, and you're a mover and shaker in the Underground of New York.

Victory Condition: The Order of Saint Cecil is probably going to shoot you if you're lucky, or, if you are supremely unlucky, reeducate you until you come out of it a sane, well-balanced person who doesn't believe in magic.

Best to waste them all first.

Rules:

    I've spent the last 2 hours in a frozen wasteland waiting for a boost because my battery failed. The boost just arrived, and then I noticed this.

    haha yeah nothing like that game. I've got a list of all the people I got to SK somewhere. My obvious lie was made up for by some nice behind the scenes work by B:L and some unavoidable treachery towards the end. I'll be following along but I don't think I have time to play sadly.
