Posts from Mafia 33. The American Dream

American Paranoia Dream

Lieutenant Eva had been sitting in the dim light of the office for half an hour, bewildered. She was about to start flipping through papers she had already reviewed many times when she was suddenly distracted from this fascinating task by a slamming door. The girl jumped up.
- Sir, finally you...
- Sit down, Lieutenant, - interrupted a confident voice. The dim light filtering through the blinds faintly illuminated the face of the man who entered, but the girl clearly saw the four stars on his shoulder straps and obeyed. Unable to last even five seconds, she asked a question.
- Sir, I hope you will finally explain why I was brought so far out here? – the general seemed not to notice the question, behavior that greatly irritated the girl.
- I have studied your file, Lieutenant, and I must say the compilers were not wrong in writing about your impatience. – Eva remained silent this time, - But I think this is more than compensated for by your detachment and devotion to duty. Information Department, tag #0301... You will be able to help us.
- Yes, but I still don't understand exactly how.
- Well, Lieutenant, it's time you were brought up to speed. A week ago, a number of our embedded agents in various countries failed to make contact, which means they are dead. I fear our unknown enemy has literally undermined the entire data collection system. And this can mean only one thing – an invasion awaits us soon. Of course, no one will openly attack glorious America, but a hidden war has been going on for a long time. They are trying to undermine our spirit, our faith in rights and freedom, and plunge the country into chaos. Do you understand, do you understand, Lieutenant?
- Yes sir, - the girl nodded, still bewildered.
- Excellent, then be quiet and listen; I won't keep you long. You are heading to our secret testing ground, disguised as a small town in the state of Nevada. Your task is information gathering. – pausing, he continued, - We cannot act openly in this region because it would attract press attention, so the security of the region is literally in your hands. In Hangar №3, a plane awaits you to deliver you there immediately. Do not fail us, Lieutenant. I have the honor.
The door slammed shut, and some sheets of paper flew away, falling at Eva's feet.


Rules
Generally the same as in the previous set, with the exception of new additions that should be noted:

1. Nights last 15 hours (day is usual – 24h)
   
2. NDs must be sent to the Mage Guild in PM for the next 2 days, specifying goals and ND type, for example:
   «Today I use shrimp blessing on Arandor
   Tomorrow I use meat grinder's wrath on Hostor» etc.
   This is done in case you are late sending an ND for the next night, as no one wants to lose a turn. If "tomorrow" you send an ND marked "today," then the previous instruction is annulled and the last received information is used. You can also specify conditions for performing an ND tomorrow, for example, if the status turns out negative, etc.
   However, this condition is optional; you may send NDs in the usual way if that is more convenient for you.
   
3. During the game, it is forbidden to reveal hidden features, whether your own or those of other players, should they become known to you. Since features indirectly indicate a role, their disclosure is equivalent to disclosing a role and is punished by a terrible scary yellow banana.
   
4. It is also forbidden to report any other details about hidden roles (and obviously revealing the roles themselves!). So if you know more than others, sit back and keep quiet with a clever look on your face.
   
5. Every day, as long as at least one of the police officers is alive, a dossier on one random enemy of the city will appear in the newspaper. If they are dead, dossiers arrive every other day. It is also possible to publish hidden capabilities of already known roles in the newspaper under certain conditions, so watch closely.
   
6. All successful defense cases (natural\prosecutor's protection) will be displayed identically as a "lucky break" that saved the target from murder. Therefore, it is useless to judge a player's role by them.
   
7. ТВАЯ, МАЯ, НИЧЬЯ, САЮЗЫ – forbidden.
   
8. Whoever counts the votes gets rep points from the Mage Guild!
   
9. Have fun :)

4 .

Please provide number 17

1st, please.

6, please.

The 13th, if possible

Number sixteen. The birthday of one incredibly beautiful character will undoubtedly bring me a good role.
By the way, I think I've seen this lovely girl somewhere.

Yes, it’s worth playing Ranked Adventures for it.

6, please.

5. L.Depravado

Added 1 minute later
random.org gave me fourteen on the very first roll.

And if you hadn't gotten lucky, would you have kept rolling until you got a 14?

No, I would choose the first available number I come across, and if it were occupied, I would just move on to the next one.

It’s a shame Josh doesn’t play defense; otherwise, I’d want to be like him.

11th issue.

I've noted you down and fixed the 6th entry. A stranger was walking down the evening street. He wrapped himself in his warm jacket, which served as his only protection from the gusts of wind, when suddenly a leaf flew right into his face. - Hmm, what is this? - the stranger looked at the find with puzzled expression and put it in his pocket. The riddle has been solved. But you can still send in your answers if you're interested.
