Captains of the Allfield-Aquangrad Administrative Region. I'm sure you're wondering why I've called you here today.
The tense atmosphere in the dusty space-station boardroom is not helped by the badly calibrated sound system broadcasting Colonel Valdragon.
I thought all of you were supportive of the upcoming coup, aside from Lanthanide who we eliminated a few months ago, along with her underlings. Though apparently, what happened to her wasn't enough, because some more of you have betrayed me. My boss has an agent planted in here, and some of you are feeding that agent information, and trying to get me killed. But that's not going to work. I've cut you off, I've intercepted your messages, and now you're not getting back to your home districts until I've gotten rid of all of you who are against me. Know that I absolutely would have blown up this station and simply replaced all of you if I could have afforded to do it.
So you're going to be doing your jobs out of here, administrating your undergroups out of here. Going out on operations, yes, but I'll have a close eye on you during those too. Meanwhile, I'll be watching, trying to figure out which of you is Liwari's pet, and which of you are trying to show off by eliminating me. And when I'm done, those in the way will be removed, and we can proceed with the plan.
So. Shall we do roll call?
Basic Rules:
1. Standard Murdergame Rules Apply
2. If you're going to drop out, just do it, don't sit around until someone asks and then do it.
3. No communication outside of the thread. No scum chat, no PMs between players.
Remember, your hands are dirty too.

+ Pointmaid as Victoria Frankenstein, supporting science for Profit and Fun, in that order.
+ Lee the Hammer as George Washington Columbo, who is a Captain here, not a general or a lieutenant like either namesake.
+ Kennifer as Juniper Banks, who's made a triumphant return to politics, after failing upward into space!
+ TenOfSwords13 as Romeo Harrier VI, because at least one officer with a suffix is obligatory.
+ noodlesnook as Fionn Mac Cumhaill, who's irish, and thus probably has very skewed ideas of how big exactly a mountain is, being from a pancake island as he is.
+ Oggy123 as Sony and Microsoft. Horse and Force will not be an exclusive to either of their consoles, but they presumably can actually run it.
+ Dookie as Victoria Walson, who also is rich and has a Germanic last name and did things on an island that involved several deaths.
+ Whistle as Chef Beck, who is helping cook up a devilish scheme, whichever side he's on.
+ LavanderDream as Blixbo, who betrayed his government before and probably isn't about to stop now.
+ wingedcatgirl as Lucky. I don't even have a joke here, this is a cat who's mid-ranking political officer in a highly authoritarian regime. There can be no quip that can add to that.
+ Caret as Wario, who, despite his name, is not an online game in an indian ocean domain about war.

Game Rules
1. At the start of the game, you will receive a DM telling you what role you have. You will either be a Co-Conspirator, a Loyalist, or The Mole. There will be Six Co-Conspirators, Three Loyalists, and one Mole.
2. There are 11 operations that are Loyalist and 6 that support the plot to overthrow the government. They act like a deck of cards, being shuffled at the start. You will be alerted when the deck is going to be shuffled again.
3. The goal of the Co-Conspirators is to engage in five Coup Operations or kill The Mole. The goal of the Loyalists and the Mole is to engage in six Loyalist Operations or get The Mole elected Regional Liaison after three Loyalist Operations have occurred.
4. The Loyalists know who The Mole is, The Mole does not know who the Loyalists are.
5. The phases of the game are as follows.
Powers received by number of Loyalist Operations done:
1: Break-In: The Aide selects a player and learns their alignment. They may do with the information as they wish. The same player cannot be investigated twice. (The Mole detects as Loyalist)
2: Break-In Again: (as previous)
3: Delegation: The Aide says who will be the next Aide, rather than it going down the list.
4: Purge: The Aide selects a player. That player is executed, and out of the game. If the player was The Mole, the game ends. Otherwise, no information is given on whether the purged Captain was a Co-Conspirator or a Loyalist.
5: Second Purge: (as previous)
6: Loyalist Victory.

3. The goal of the Co-Conspirators is to engage in five Coup Operations or kill The Mole. The goal of the Loyalists and the Mole is to engage in six Loyalist Operations or get The Mole elected Regional Liaison after three Loyalist Operations have occurred.
4. The Loyalists know who The Mole is, The Mole does not know who the Loyalists are.
5. The phases of the game are as follows.
Consensus-Building Exercise:
- The Aide to the Colonel nominates a Liaison. They may discuss their nominee beforehand with the other players. Someone who was the Liaison the previous round of voting cannot stand again until someone else has been Liaison. The same is true for the Aide.
- Everyone discusses, and votes on whether or not the chosen candidate shall be the Liaison. (this includes the Aide and the Liaison candidate)
- If a majority says no or the vote ties, the next person on the list becomes The Aide to the Colonel, the Liaison seat is not filled, and the phase repeats.
- If the above happens three times in a row, the top Operation will be played, but if it would grant a power to the Aide, it won't. Then the term limits reset.
- If a majority says yes, the Liaison is appointed. If no victory condition has been met, the Operation Planning phase begins.
Operation Planning:
- The Aide is given the top three Operation Options via DM, and chooses two to pass on to the Liaison. The one not passed on is discarded and will not return until the deck is reshuffled. The Aide may not communicate with anyone until they've made their choice.
- The Liaison is DMed the two remaining Operation Options, and chooses which one will be done. They may not communicate with anyone until they've made their choice, with one exception seen below. The one not chosen is discarded, as above.
- If five Loyalist Operations have been undertaken, on receiving the Operation Options, the Liaison may request to undertake neither. If the Aide agrees, both operations are discarded and it is treated as if no Liaison had been chosen during the election phase. If the Aide does not agree to discard, an Operation must be undertaken.
- If the Operation grants a power to the Aide, the Aide must use the power immediately. Otherwise, proceed to the Operation stage.
Operation:
- Colonel Valdragon will brief you on what is expected during the operation. You will have to come up with a way to surmount the challenges put before you.
- The top performer will be given Valdragon Points, which means their vote counts double during the next Consensus-Building phase.
- Return to Consensus-Building Phase.
