This game can already be confusing the way it is. I vote to not add in new characters. I liked the game how it was. But alas, that is just my opinion and I'm open to playing how the group decides.
I think we should play this one game this way, and if we don't like it-- there is always next game we can change it. :] I'm a little worried I'll get confused, but I hope it'll just be an awesome game.

I didn't delete my post (that I know of). I still want to play if you haven't started.
I switched internet companies because my promotional rate ran out, and my cable internet was over 100 for one person. So I havent had it at my house for a couple days. The guy just installed the new service this morning, so no more "flaking out"
In the small, friendly music community of Bonnaroo, a crafty Mafia have infiltrated the population. Every night these Mafiosi decide amongst themselves who to ruthlessly assassinate. At the beginning of each morning, people learn that one of their own has been killed.
Every day, the population gathers to discuss whom they think is a member of the Mafia. There is a vote, and the one with the majority is executed. The Townspeople must do this in order to clean Bonnaroo of the Mafia and restore its peaceful vibe. However, if the Mafia are able, through disrupting the votes and performing their assassinations, to eliminate Townspeople to the point that they are in the majority, they will rule Bonnaroo forever.
Thus, the Townspeople's great hope lies in three of their own: the Inspector, the Nurse, and the Vigilante. The Inspector is a secret figure, known only to him or herself, that has inside information on the identity of the Mafiosi. S/he can covertly use this information to influence the votes towards the Mafiosi. But s/he better watch his/her step, because if the Mafia gets wind it will be lights out. The Vigilante periodically takes the law into his/her own hands, singling out those s/he believes to be mafia. To avoid discovery, the Vigilante lays low and spaces out his/her activity. The Nurse is much like a guardian angel. S/he stands watch over one player, whom s/he presumes innocent, to prevent attacks on the guarded player.
Good luck.
Signed,
Bonnaroo Referee
----------------------
Clarification of rules:
0) Alterations and additions to the usual rules, tailored for this specific super-sized game, are in italics
1) The referee randomly chooses from the 1113 players three Mafiosi, one Inspector, one Nurse and one Vigilante. All the rest are Townspeople. Each person is informed of their part via PM, and are not allowed to share that information with each other except in this thread, the official Mafia game thread. The Mafia are informed of one another's identity, and they are allowed to converse among themselves via PM.
2) The Inspector is informed of his/her part, and also of the identity of one randomly chosen Mafia player.
3) Each day a vote is held for the player to be eliminated. For online play, deliberation and voting is combined; thus, you can vote and explain yourself in the same post. Every player is free to change their vote at any point up until the last vote is in and the Ref declares that voting is closed. The ref will then post the final tally, and announce which player is eliminated and how they died. Then will begin the following night.
4) During the night the Mafia decide on the player they want to eliminate (assassinate), and inform the ref via PM. Once the ref receives this info, it is posted here in the thread, the player is eliminated, and the following day begins.
5) Likewise during the night the Inspector will PM the ref and guess one person who is the Mafia. Goddess will respond with a 'yes' or 'no'.
6) Play continues until all the Mafia have been killed (Townspeople win), or the Mafia outnumber the Townspeople (Mafia win).
7) It will not be revealed, until the end of the game, when a Mafia player or the Inspector haveplayer with a role has been eliminated.
8) Players who have been eliminated are still welcome to post in this thread, but are asked to not say anything leading to any knowledge, suspicions or opinions you might have. Deceased players may not quote anything posted before their death story was published.
9) The Nurse may choose one player to protect each round. The Nurse may choose to protect him/her-self. The Nurse may not guard a player more than once during the course of the game.
10) The Vigilante is able to kill one player during even-numbered Nights, should s/he choose to do so.
11) Should the Mafia and Vigilante choose the same target at Night, the Referee will observe the first request and ask the player guessing second to choose a new target.
12) It is recommended, though not required, that players submit death stories to the referee for the deaths chosen by their roles. Mafia and Vigilante write their own Nighttime whack stories; a Townsperson writes Daytime voted-off stories.
^^^Sounds like you're the vigilante. What if you kill an innocent person in your wrath?
I just meant that as a townsperson, I'm ready to kill some mafia. I'd hope our role players would be a little more discreet then that comment I made about roles atleast right off, because the mafia will be out to get them. :[
sounds like jack and handgunhips are working together. hmmmm. ???
I voted for rooconteur strictly because he voted for me. If you had voted for me, I'd have done the same thing.. that in no way makes Jack and I a team. I'm up for changing my vote if rooconteur does the same.
I'm posting a lot in my defense because I'm leaving this afternoon and will be gone for a day or so and won't be able to then. :[
