King Vudu the Lion was found dead this morning from an apparent drug overdose. A kingdom wide funeral is being planned for this Saturday to honor the beloved-by-state-decree monarch of the Animal Kingdom. While the animals of the world take a moment to mourn his passing and remember the many things King Vudu was able to accomplish, many of them will also be pondering over what this means for the future of the Animal Kingdom and who will become the new ruler...
Excerpt from The Heron Herald:
Animal Kingdom Leader Race Getting Fierce
One day after Insanolord the Jackass (or Mule as he keeps asking to be referred to) entered the race to be Animal Kingdom's next leader, Khushrenada the Cat has now stepped forward to also state he will be running in the race to be the Animal Kingdom's next great leader. Khushrenada has a history of being able to revitalize areas of stagnation with new growth and ideas as well as fighting for animal rights by continually trying to innovate and experiment against the status quo. However, despite these positives, Khushrenada has his critics with some saying he has ties to a criminal animal underworld and is being supported by the Shere Khan mafia to ensure their interests and stranglehold on the Animal Kingdom. Khushrenada's political rival Insanolord has already stated that electing Khushrenada would bring about the end of the Animal Kingdom and the ruination of everything all animals have been building up and working on for 15 years. Asked about this, Khushrenada just laughed and said, "Animals have been accusing me of these things for years with no evidence to support their claims yet to appear. Facts are that I've done more to build the Animal Kingdom than most and the history of this land backs me up on this. I have no ties to the Shere Khan Mafia and do not know where this spurious slander has come from."
Excerpt from The Insect Inquisitor:
Has Man Entered the Animal Kingdom Again?
Oblivion the Ox was found dead in the Serengeti Swamp. Bystanders say they heard a loud bang before Oblivion's collapse with others saying they saw a shadowy two-legged creature move quickly from some nearby bushes and climb onto a strange wheeled beast that took off at high speed. Police Chief Rin Tin Tin has said that he is still investigating the matter and doesn't want to jump to any conclusion too soon. He asks that the public not become panicked or spooked too hastily because of rumours. Unfortunately, a lemming colony has already run over a cliff in fear from the news and died in what other lemmings are calling a typical Tuesday. Despite calls for calmness from the police, many animals are arming themselves in an effort to provide a measure of security for their wellbeing. With the Animal Kingdom election already causing much divide throughout the land, officials worry that this current climate of fear could lead to a bloodshed if the citizenry are not careful.
You've heard the legends. You know the players. Now, for the first time, see the true story of the 2016 Animal Kingdom Election played out in detail with all your favorite animal stars in the Mafia Event of the season, Mafia LXVIII: Animal Kingdom - Cuddly Carnage!

It's finally happening! A new mafia game! Woo! ;D ;D
The theme for this game is the Animal Kingdom! If you want to roleplay, choose an animal whether real or fictional and enter the fray. Or post your favorite animal pictures, gifs or videos. Just don't be a grumpy cat and not play! Be one of the central players in the 2016 Animal Kingdom election drama!
I'll post a bit more about rules and roles in a moment but for now I wanted to get this sign-up thread going. Since I was a few days late with it, I'm going to have sign-ups run until the 16th. Hopefully it gives everyone interested a chance to see it and join in on the game.
For now, my plan is to just keep things a bit basic with detective, doctor, 1 mafia and a killer aka man the most dangerous game. However, if a large turnout shows up, I'd love to add a second mafia and make it cats vs dogs for additional flavor.
If you have any suggestions or ideas, feel free to post them now as well.
Sign-ups so far:
Lucariofan99 NWR_Insanolord Stratos Stevey Pokepal148 Mop it up ShyGuy Nickmitch Nuclearspeed Silenced
10 players have signed up so far.

Hey. I'm just hosting the game. You want to giveaway some prizes, you are welcome to do so but its up to you to determine your criteria for handing them out and to do so. I just don't remember this pledge. I also don't think that should stop you from playing but that's your call. The color commentary both intrigues and scares me. We usually want dead players to keep their comments pretty quiet on the game play of others as it goes along. Not sure an outsider providing comments would be good or bad.

You know you can count on me.
Also, I think ShyGuy can still play even if he's offering prizes. It'll be like he gets to help choose who wins! Besides, I can't imagine we're going to get a very good turnout, so we need all the players we can get.
C'mon ShyGuy, jump in!

That's a mean thing to call Lucariofan99. All Lucariofan99 wanted to do was join the game so I don't see why you should treat him that harshly for signing up just because you don't want to join up which is alright because one Lucariofan99 is plenty. I think Lucariofan99 should apologize to Lucariofan99 but then Lucariofan99 is always right so maybe we should follow his example and start calling Lucariofan99 a dumbass too. Hmm, decisions, decisions.

Well, we've never played a mafia game with only 8 people to my recollection. We generally try to hit double digits. Thanks to Nuclearspeed and Silenced joining the game, we've now hit that with 10 players. Still, I think I'll send out a mass invite to make people aware of it and see if we can't drum up a little more support and start it this coming Monday instead. It does mean playing during Thanksgiving but maybe the holiday will mean more participation.
That said, I also need to get the next Safe Words game started. Surprised no one has called me out on that either....

Post by: Khushrenada on November 23, 2015, 03:07:32 PM
Well, I'm not sure what to do. We could still have a mafia game I suppose but with it being so small, the question is do you have one mafia member or two. From past experiences, when we've had a small turnout like this and had 2 mafia members, the mafia invariably seems to win. That's because there isn't much for voting patterns and the game can be over in 3 - 4 days. Just putting in one mafia member means it might as well just be the killer role. We could do a game of just trying to hunt out the killer but that isn't exactly mafia.
Of course, we could also just put a hold on this game and try again in a month or two and see if that gets more response. What do you players wish to do?
