Bound together with the oddest magickal incantation.
This wretched book is where it all began so long ago...before time...before humanity...
I am Doctor Edward Roivas. I am a clinical psychologist. I am also dead.
This is not my story, nor even the story of the Roivas family. It is the story of humanity.
Like it or not, believe it or not as you will.
Your perceptions will not change reality, but simply color it.
Humanity has been on the edge of extinction for two millenia. Ignorant of so much, and dependent on so few.
The Guardians grow restless, their time once again near.

From the people that brought you Zodiac Phalla, Heroes, the Matrix, Vampire: the Masquerade, and The Phalla of Haruhi Suzumiha...
Welcome to Eternal Darkness.
Rules of the Game
Each night, players place a vote for one person to be jailed. Generally, each person only gets one vote. You guys should know the format by now;
I !vote for cj iwakura to be jailed.
Retractions will not be required.
In the event of a tie, a RNG will decide who is removed. Only one person will be removed in any round, and should the target be killed via other means then the next person on the list will be subject to the vote. On a death, items are transferred to a random person but skills are lost forever. Apart from that, there is no way to transfer an item.
There are a number of different sides, and the sides can be basically said to be 'good' and 'evil'. That's all I'll say about that.
Players will also need to vote for who will possess the Tome of Eternal Darkness; this gives a number of powers to the bearer, but with power can come a great price. More details about this will be given in the game thread.
No sharing of role PMs, no anonymous contacting. Ability uses, item uses and votes must all be submitted by 11:00 PM EST. Narration will generally be posted around 12:00 EST.
Oh, and one final thing...
There will be a Dead Thread/Proboard/Whatever. However, there is a distinct difference in this game between being dead and insane. This is again something that will come up in the game thread's OP.
A disclaimer: I'm currently still tweaking the rules slightly; things in the OP might change before the game begins. Once the game begins, the rules will be set in stone.

I love you, HB.
See what I did ther
Also, 42 is not a set number; if there are enough people, I'll tweak things as necessary and open more slots.

they don't it be like it is but it do
(I was going to take a break from phalla, but not if HB is running this)
So yaaay unless I die day 1 which would suck
then a week later it starts up fo' reelz and everybody who signed up the first time gets free T-Shirts
Seriously goddamn fucked.
I'm starting a betting pool now on how many players will have been actually driven insane by the game's end.
It really is too bad.
better manipulate a bunch of stupid fucks to do some stupid shit for me because that's like the only thing I can do now
Mood: Apathetic'
Conversions!
I'm totally #13. I'm sure that bodes well for me.

You're too hated.
Oh, did you? :P
cj iwakura is going to be co-hosting this with me; a rather extensive list of our previous games is in the OP. :P
Going to sleep now; if there are not at least 42 of you by the time I wake up I will be a sad ancient.
As far as preregistrations go, I got about eight PMs. In those eight PMs, the word Pargon was probably said about a total of twenty times.
I can attest to this. (I regret nothing.)
Alright, now I'm sleeping.
who wants in
I want two spots.
Don't do it Obbi, it's cursed I tells ya! CURSED!
Who wants in the dynamic durax duo?
The Spectre five is doomed to die, to join it is a folly.
Once begun, the game can't be won, and makes all non-members jolly.
