Announcement to players:
This game does in no way resemble the movies, the series, or whatever fanology has been created on the internet.
The name Highlander has purely been chosen for ‘you kill someone, you absorb their powers’ concept, and the awesome line ‘There can be only One.’ Both of these I’ve borrowed, nothing else is related.

The seven Commandments of Highlander Mafia:
There shall be no story or character names.
There shall be no asking for a mod-kill. Mod-kills happen upon breaking a rule or failing to post for 36 hours.
There shall be no quoting or paraphrasing of P-S’ PMs.
There shall be no player names upon CF.
There shall be no posting by dead players in Spoiler Heaven on main forum alts.
There shall be no waiting for people to turn in provisionals/ night actions.
There shall be no discussions on rulings or balance with the mods, even if you feel the game is broken.

You break any of these, and you shall die an agonizingly slow death in the fires of the Mafia Hell.
Since you go to Hell, you shall not go to Spoiler Heaven. We’re going to be bastards about this.

Order of action resolution: Guard – Heal – Find - Kill
There may be other roles in the game that resolve as if they are one of the above actions. This will be disclosed in that player’s PM. Before you start moaning: this is high TMDI, baby.

Victory Condition:
Scum: last man standing.
Town: eliminate all scum.

There are no other victory conditions.

For easy fakeage, we are going to provide you all with the Roleless Inno PM. This is it:

Roleless Inno;

You can take a single night action.

You currently have no night actions.

Your victory condition is to eliminate all scum.

Lynch Tech:

Where the real headache of this high TMDI game starts, is lynching.
You lynch a roled player, and a few people get a watered down, limited use version of the ability.

Here's what happens per role that is being lynched:

Lynch a killer: 3 randomly determined people on the train gain a one-time-vig.

Lynch a finder: the first two people who post after the lynch scene gain a two-time find.

Lynch a healer: everyone on the train gains a single self heal.

Lynch a bulletproof: everyone on the train becomes immune to the first action targeting them that night. If not targeted at all, this immunity carries over until the next day.
AS PER NIGHT 2, ALL PEOPLE ON THE TRAIN GAIN A BP THAT LASTS FOR THE DURATION OF THAT NIGHT ONLY.

Lynch a vig: the hammer gains a two-time vig kill.

Lynch a guard: the person exactly in the middle (or two if there is an even number of votes for lynch) gains a two-use guard.

Lynch an ambidexter: everyone on the train can, once per game on a night of their choice, submit two night actions. They cannot use the same night action twice on that night, however.

Lynch the teacher (this one is fun):
first voter gains a two-time find.
second voter gains a two-time vig.
third voter gains a bulletproof.
fourth voter gains a three-time heal.
fifth voter gains a two time guard.
sixth voter can use one night action twice on a night of his choice.

If there are fewer than six votes required for a lynch, start again at the start of the train.
If the teacher has handed out an ability already, that ability is not gained by the corresponding player on the train.

If a player is lynched who had temporary abilities and has used them, they are still passed on, but with -1 use (to a minimum of 1). so, lynching finders will eventually ensure that everyone is being screened at least once

Example:

Player A is a roleless Inno. He is on day 1 on the lynch train. A Healer is lynched (everyone on the train gains a self heal).

Player A receives from the mods as an addition to his role PM the following text:

Once per game, as a night action, you can heal yourself.

Player A does not use this ability that same night (which is, of course, impossible seeing how we have zero hour nights), but can use it on night 2.

He is however targeted by killer B night 1, who kills player A rather dead.
Player B gains all of player A's abilities, and now has the following role PM:

-----------------------------------
Scum.
You can take a single night action.

Night action: once per night, as a night action, you can kill another player by sending his alt to the mods.

Every time you kill someone successfully, you absorb all of that players powers. If they had a single or limited use, these will be refreshed for you.

Night Action: once per game, as a night action, you can heal yourself.

Victory condition: you only win once you are the last man standing. This victory condition is transferred to your killer when you are vigged or otherwise killed at night. There are several other players with the same victory condition, but who cares, you have to get rid of everyone, including them.
You are not allowed to spread this information on thread.
---------------------------------

Notice that if B killed A after A had used the one time heal, that B would gain the exact same PM!
The one-time self heal is refreshed as per the killer's ability.

With 19, I'm going to go for three batches, but without the Guard of the third, and scum as if there were 3 full batches. That means 13 roled and 6 RIs.

Town will have a difficult tim, they could do with 2 players more

I'm here. Works difficult but, it shouldn't interfere with the game too much. I really like the role distribution.

Aye, I was mildly impressed myself. Bwgan as killer is going to be amazing, and I can't wait to hear Morgy cry that he has to play careful because he's a healer

[Bent]

Well, it may be a very quick ending indeed.

Well, the killers will have to take one another out, too
But if they lynch a killer day 1, then all on the train start vigging night 2, yeah, we see an awful lot of dead people very fast.

[Path-Shaper]

Alts have been sent - if someone signs up while I'm away, feel free to add them
next 2 players are RI by default, add another Healer please if we get a number 21

First killer role ever--a shame I'll be lurkage for the first 2-3 RL days (including a 12+ hour absence during my flight back to the states; I might need a modkill extension if it's 24 hours) but still

FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Modkill limit is 36 hours and we can stretch that a bit, so don't worry

Great! Do I get an explanation of how to "take" night actions? Or is that forthcoming in a second opening-post before we start?

Not forthcoming on thread, but here's an explanation, hope it helps.

You currently have no night actions. (fact)

If you somehow acquire night actions, which or may not be possible, then you are able to take two of them in a single night.

Hope that clarified it a bit .

Wow you gave me the Fener alt? Seriously Tapper, I hate you. I'm going to be the first person lynched/killed. I'll probably even vote myself.

The good news is that you are allowed to do that
The bad news is that you are quite necessary to give it your best shot to allow your team to survive

Holy shit! This is awesome!

Too bad I'm not very good at picking out scum early game... I will do my best to destory the scum, however, with my light beam of doom. KAMEHAMEHA!

Questions, though: if I kill a scum killer that theoretically had unlimited killing power, would that give me unlimited killing power? Also, are "player powers" just night actions (or BPs and things like that), or would they also include some theoretical ability to perform multiple night actions? Like, say there's a role out there two can use two actions per night. If I kill him, would I absorb the ability to use two abilities, or just his other abilities?

Hope that was clear.

1) It's a direct copy.
2) no comment.
3) no comment.

'yea' or 'nay' will explain a lot of the set-up straight off the bat, and i don't want to give you a lead on players with the same PM who don't ask these questions, hence my answers.

There can be only one. I must decapitate all other players. I demand the Katana made by Masamune or at least the freak sword that the Kurgan uses... It won the academy award for best movie ever made.

Alright! Thanks. Bed for me, then. I'll be checking into a hotel (4 star so I almost definitely have net access...if not I epic fail and apologize profusely) around an hour after game start (4PM if my maths are right since I'm GMT+8) so expect me to be ultra-active when online and whatnot.

It'll be interesting to see if anyone's alt guesses are fucked up when I fly back west.
