This sounds really cool! I'm definitely interested. It's been a while since we had a mafia-like RP event, and you came up with a really fun spin on it! A non-human character will be a first for me, but it should be fun! XD

I'm definitely interested (and this summer I'll be stuck at home anyways), but as per usual for these events I might not have the most inspired writing. |D

Well, I began brainstorming a design last night and since I had time to draw today, I drew the first design for my possible critter. (It still needs tweaking, but I think it's a good start.) It's sort of a mix between a Flemish giant rabbit and a basset hound with some miscellaneous elements thrown in there. I still have to work out details on it, but I think this is a good start. (Also, I just realized I forgot to make the back feet darker on the side view. Whoops.)

Yeah, I'm always game for a Mafia event, and this does sound like it could be fun! I have no experience with RPing non-human characters but I have a wild imagination to make up for't, heh.
I'd probably prefer this summer, and starting early June would work well for me, but I usually go away in August for a bit. (I'm fine with just NPCing too if that presents a problem.)

Shinko already knows this, but I'll be in as an NPC XP

I'm interested. I do have a question though. What are you supposed to do if/when your character dies?

I'm interested. I do have a question though. What are you supposed to do if/when your character dies? Generally speaking, people will either keep playing the character in the form of a ghost, or they'll play NPC side characters for the remainder of the game.

Probably important to know since I want to play a water critter (although they can be associated with rivers too): I know the island is surrounded by mists but, before said mists close in, is there any ocean or anything like that?
I was planning for mah critter to have been, before he came to the island, the kind of taniwha who slinks about tidal pools and coastal caves. But if there's no ocean, that might complicate things, and I can easily just make him a river taniwha.

Thorn There's a good mile or so of ocean around the island before the mists close in, don't worry. ^^ I've sketched a rough map, and if I get enough interest going to run the event I'll probably see about begging for help from somebody better at landscapes/maps than I am to make my sketch into something presentable. But yes, there is ocean, and a river, and a series of waterfall pools close to the shore that empty into the ocean. Plenty of options for an aquatic critter.

Ooh, that sounds lovely! And I'm sure there's nothing quite like a nice refreshing waterfall bath in the morning for a magical lizard! =P
I hope you get enough interest! I am v. excited. Got this AND Spirit Weeks coming up, AND the Medieval Reading Party finishing up- a good few months for NTWF activities!

I'd love to participate as well! This summer should be perfect for me.

Good job, it has already infiltrated my subconscious. XD I read the intro post before I went to bed last night, and then I had a nightmare where the "madness" infiltrated Wakanda from Black Panther, and there was a huge, terrifying parade of the sowers and corrupted, and even when I escaped the barrier during the ensuing battle, I was still being followed by people I didn't know if I could trust.
...Okay but yeah, this sounds fun! =D Very neat take on Mafia. Color me intrigued! =o
I have a couple of questions, though!
- Would the characters and their society act in a way reminiscent of humans? I don't mean talking and all that, I assume that's a given, but--do they have, like, occupations that other characters might go to them for? (I know in past games, those have sometimes played a part in gathering characters together (pubs, shops, restaurants, etc.), but I'm not sure how this world works, and I'd love to know more about it. =3)
- Would a corrupted character know they've been corrupted (in meta and/or in-story)? Or is that another piece of the mystery?
- Most of the ones people think of will be bigger than the horse standard, but will there be dinosaur background NPCs

Lizica In my head I'm imagining them acting largely as wild animals would, but that doesn't preclude there being a very loosely human-like society if ya'll want! In the wild monkies will trade fruit for ah... services, so I'm willing to stretch the point if you guys think it'll be more fun! They won't construct buildings or the like, any society they did have would be neolithic at best, but I'll let the individuals decide to what degree your characters act like a wild animal would and to what degree they take advantage of the "no wanton murder" decree to try for a more civilized approach~ The corrupted characters won't know they're corrupted at first, but once they've murdered someone they'll be outed as corrupt. Otherwise it'd be a bit lopsided in favor of the sowers since every other turn they get +1 corruption and +1 resident death, while the residents only get one mob execution per that time. Maaaaaaaybe. =3 It's not quite a dinosaur, but I definitely have plans for a Kaprosuchus to make a few appearances as a minor background character.Where is your god now?
