There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.
Imagine if you will a man who lives in a twisted reality. In his upset mind up is down, black is white, and Villains are Heroes. In this world war is being waged, a war between factions of evil do-gooders, and heroic beasts. You are welcome to join this battle at no real personal risk. Just be sure to wipe your feet off on the way in, because this battle is being waged in…. The Twilight Zone
How it works:
Each player will be assigned a roll in secret with one of three possible affiliations : Heroes, Villains, and third party.
As Villain you can only win once all the Heroes are dead, and Vice Versa.
As a third party you will be given an individual Goal you must complete in order to win.
The villains will have a pm to plan in secret.
There are two phases that last 24 hours Day and Night.
During the day phase players will publicly vote to Lynch or not to Lynch another player. If a player has majority vote they will die.
During the night players can covertly use active abilities by sending me a PM with their intention.
Don't reveal your roll unless you have a strategically valid reason to.
Rules
1. Don't sign up If you are not willing to play regardless of what character you get. Each character has a use and is crucial to their team's success
2. Be kind. Don't take events the games so seriously, and don’t call names or make personal insults. If you do that kind of thing you're an a$$hole
3. Do stuff. Be involved. Get proactive. Whatever. Don't make me have to pm you asking if you are still involved, cause I'm not gonna do that… I’ll just give your roll to your mom…. Your mom really wants me to give her a big roll.
4. Dead people don't talk game play.
5.BOLD YO VOTE I'm pretty cool but I'm not perfect... I'm pretty perfect, but not quite there you know what I mean… I Use alot of ellipses and I just spelled “a lot” as one word. I may miss if you don't bold your sh*t.
6. Don't talk game play outside the game.
7. If you think someone's cheating don't confront them on the board. I feel they may resent that… So if you think someone is cheating pm me.
8. Don't post screenshots to prove your roll, It breaks your game.
9. Do not intentionally sabotage your own team. Yes.. I mean you Queen M.
10. Ability Priority:
Ghost Rider Nightly kill
Meltdown
Hijack
Switch
Redirect
Disable
Protect
Disguise
Investigation
Kill
All other abilities*
Nightly kill
*A few abilities act outside of the priority but can still be affected by a switch/ redirect and disabled or protected from. For instance tracking will allow its user to see people who switched their targets even though it falls lower on the priority list than switch. Or double abilities given will allow a player to use their disabling ability twice even though it falls lower on the priority.
If you are confused or have any general questions don’t be afraid to ask on the forum or in pm.

Dr. Doom is not in this mafia.. He is simply too awesome
Wow. And to think that the original Mafia game here was very close to not even happening. It took some big effort to make it so enough people even join, lol.
@arcus1: That would be my doing lol. I made the tag list and some of the people I added were because I thought they'd excel at this game (you included).
@arcus1: That would be my doing lol. I made the tag list and some of the people I added were because I thought they'd excel at this game (you included).
Lol it's ok
I appreciate the thought, and maybe sometime I'd join in, but they tend to pop up at less than ideal times
@dr_deplorable: If after a day or so you still need people, I will, but as of right now, I am a tad busy and want to give more enthusiastic viners a chance to join before me.
