 “It’s in the cellar under the dining room,” he went on, so overcome by his worries now that he forgot to be pompous. “It’s mine — mine. I discovered it when I was a child, all by myself. The cellar stairway is so steep that my aunt and uncle forbade my using it, but I’d heard someone say there was a world down there. I found out later they meant an old-fashioned globe of the world, but at the time I thought they were referring to the world itself. One day when no one was home I started down in secret, but I stumbled and fell. When I opened my eyes, I saw the Aleph.” “The Aleph?” I repeated. “Yes, the only place on earth where all places are — seen from every angle, each standing clear, without any confusion or blending. I kept the discovery to myself and went back every chance I got. As a child, I did not foresee that this privilege was granted me so that later I could write the poem. Zunino and Zungri will not strip me of what’s mine — no, and a thousand times no! Legal code in hand, Doctor Zunni will prove that my Aleph is inalienable.” I tried to reason with him. “But isn’t the cellar very dark?” I said. “Truth cannot penetrate a closed mind. If all places in the universe are in the Aleph, then all stars, all lamps, all sources of light are in it, too."  What? This is a role-madness mafia game for 13 players, made by Shell and me. Every role is inspired by a short story written by Borges. Who? Jorge Luis Borges is one of the most renowned writers in Spanish of the XX century. He was born in Argentina in 1899 and wrote dozens of poems, essays and short stories full of wit and Borges. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Luis_Borges Why? Both: Borges is pretty cool. Both: ... Shell: Borges mafia me:  How? Las eliminaciones se decidirán por mayoría de votos. Cada día durará alrededor de 48 horas y cada noche durará alrededor de 24 horas. - Don't be a jerk. - Don't edit your posts. - Don't copy/paste mod comms. - Don't post after hammer. - Don't post after you die. - Post at least 10 times in a game day or you'll get a lurker warning. Do it again under a lurker warning and you'll be expelled from the book club. - Don't fake day actions. - Finally, don't be a jerk. Rule zeroth: If you ever encounter anything or anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable, threatened, abused, angry, or even unsure of how you feel, there are many people here, both within and outside of the SA Mafia community, who are happily willing to listen, provide support, and enact change to make the community better for everyone. Here is a short list of only some of the people that other players have suggested as a resource that you should never hesitate to contact: Leperflesh and Antivehicular (current Traditional Games Mods), VoodooFly, Hal Insandenza, Bifauxnen, Monathin, Wologar, Maerlyn, EccoRaven, CCKeane, Cloacamazing!, Opopanax, Sandwolf, Shellception, or whoever else you feel safer talking to!

I felt, almost at once, the invisible presence of a conspiracy to keep Glencairn’s fate hidden. There’s not a soul in this city (I suspected) who is not in on the secret and who is not sworn to keep it. Most people upon questioning professed an unbounded ignorance; they did not know who Glencairn was, had never seen him, had never heard anyone speak of him. Others, instead, had caught a glimpse of him only a quarter of an hour before talking to So-and-So, and they even accompanied me to the house the two had entered and in which nothing was known of them, or which they had just that moment left. Link to full text Hyper Crab 'Borgir' Tank, The Man on the Threshold, TOWN-aligned Telltale, left the game N0! quote:You have a passive, automatic ##selfwatch power. For every night you are not visited, you will gain a different extra active power. As a one-shot night action, you can use all the powers you hold as a single action, targetting a single player. You cannot use the powers individually, nor target multiple players. It is now Day 1!

Your Personal Muse posted:what’s a sympathizer It's a 3P who wins with the scum team, but isn't part of scumchat and neither side usually has any idea they're on their team at the start. The one game I played that had one the rear end in a top hat faked a N0 cop result and almost single handedly drove town off a cliff
