"Glory, Hallelujah"
The American Civil War
MAFIA
​

The American Civil War was a war fought between the United States of America (Union) and the illegal breakaway republic Confederate States of America (Confederacy), principally over the issues of the spread of slavery, secession, State's Rights, and the election of President Abraham Lincoln in 1860 C.E. The issues stemmed from the status of slavery as an implied "right" to the Southern cotton economy, the containment of slavery from said states, and the perceived eventuality of a federal ban on slavery. The war began on April 12, 1861 C.E., after the state of South Carolina fired upon the federally owned Fort Sumter. The American Civil War would last four years and end as the deadliest conflict in American history, the aftermath of which is still principally felt today. Following the end of the Civil War, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments; these amendments banned slavery (except in cases of conviction), made men of color equal in the eyes of the government, and granted the same minorities the right to vote... it would take another 100 years before discrimination was banned for private businesses, schools, and public accommodations with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. You, my fellow players, will be given a chance to portray some of the essential men during this time period, the glorious few who lived and died to free the slaves and bring about order and justice, whilst some shall stand in defiance against the great Union with hopes of a great ethno-nationalist empire of Protestant slave owners. These men are remembered, whether as heroes, villains, or unsung historical figures of great importance. Who shall stand supreme, will the Union once again prosper? Or will the Confederacy cry Dixie into Washington, and force their will upon those that can no longer save themselves? You have the power.​

If you're new to the Mafia Scene, here's a quick explanation of the premise. Town players will consist of players of Union Aligned characters. Mafia players consist of Confederacy Aligned characters. The Union's role is to eliminate all threats to the world. The Confederacy's objective is to control the majority or make it so that it is no longer possible to lynch any Confederates. Character Claiming is NOT ALLOWED. The vanilla set-up of the game will allow for basic character and role claims as well. Try not to read too much into character and role combinations however, not everything is a one-to-one thing. The game will be split into two sections: Day and Night. During the day, everyone must choose a player to lynch. During the night, the mafia may discretely choose a player to kill. Days last 24 hours, or until a majority for a lynch has been cast. Nights last 12 hours, or until all night powers have been sent in. Night-Posting is allowed. Day 1 will last 48 hours, and Night 1 will last 24 hours. Do not post about the game outside the thread. All things regarding the contents of the ongoing game will remain in the thread. Failure to do so will result in a mod-kill or repping out. Attempting to game the thread in a way where your alignment is confirmed through means other than by play or playing to the integrity of mafia will result in a modkill and punishment for your alignment. No excessive flaming to the point of personal insults. Any evidence of egregious flaming may be subject to forcible repping out or modkill if no alternative may be found. If one believes potential flaming is in play, let the host or the mod know. Basically just be cool, okay? Editing posts is allowed up until 5 minutes following.

Rep List:

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
- Abraham Lincoln​

It is now DAY 1! Day 1 lasts 48 hours, or until a lynch is made. With 24 players, it requires 13 votes to lynch. God be with you, and let your souls be cleansed in the fires of war.​

If you think owning human beings as property is really really nifty and you like to wear white hoods raise your hand now I promise we won’t lynch you.

A quick reminder that there is NO CHARACTER CLAIMING, and please don't try to hint at your character either, just in case you missed it! Thank you~!
