[Alan T]

Below is listed many but not all of the roles, occupations and identities in the game. There also will likely be a number listed below that are not present in the game. This list is meant to give an idea of the setting inside of the game.

Mafia:

Boss - The head of Big City's mafia, he is smart but ruthless. He is the boss, and what he says goes in the Big City underground.

The Muscle - Obviously the Boss won't get his hands dirty sweating the small stuff. He needs a trusted henchman to apply the proper pressure at needed times.


The Professionals:

The Banker - Money is his thing and he excels at managing it. If money is power, he might be one of the most powerful men in the big city. Does this however make him a powerful companion, or a big target?

The Doctor - Sometimes "accidents" happen, luckily he is here to save the day.

The Shop Owner - Everyone needs things to buy right? This gentleman makes his living peddling his wares.


The shady:

Thug - Not quite the brightest bulb in the lamp, but he can hit you really hard with a lead pipe.

Pickpocket - Where did you place your wallet again?

Hacker - Not all crimes involve breaking in through the front door. This man can rob you blind while eating a frosty.



Law Enforcement:

Detectives - These men investigate the scene of the crime and attempt to keep order in the Big City

Chief of Detectives - He manages the Big CIty's force of detectives in an effort to keep some flow to the workload.

Judge - The only voted upon job in this game. Can approve search warrants, arrest warrants or sentence people for their crimes.



Hired Security:

Firewall specialist - Have a high tech computer environment? He is the best at keeping it safe.

Bodyguard - Ex-Special ops. Its difficult to get the drop on him, and he might be pretty handy if you have attacted the wrong type of attention.


The Independants:

The sports gambler - Dog races, NBA games, snail races... You name it he bets it.

Poker player - Everyone and their brother is a poker player these days. This man puts his money where his mouth is.


Blue Collar workers:

Janitor - Someone has to clean up the mess made around here.

Death or other ways to be removed from the game:

There are three ways to be removed from the game:

1) Being lynched by the cityfolk (see below)
2) Being killed by the mafia
3) Being sentenced by the judge for a crime.

Once removed from the game, the player is permanently out of the game and will not return. Allegiances will be stated as the player is removed. Their occupation will be inferred during the next daily update.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daily actions from all members:

Each day in the Big City, the people's anger flares to the point where a lynch mob is formed. In order to prevent being a target of the lynch mob yourself, all players must each day place a vote in this thread for whom you wish to see lynched. To place a vote, simply enter the vote with the player's name bolded such as this:

Vote Alan T

Failure to place a daily vote will likely result in negative consequences for the player involved.

In addition to the daily lynched vote, Each day the Big City's judge can be voted out and replaced with a new judge. This vote is a private vote sent in to me via PM. You do not have to post your judge vote in this thread, and you do not even have to place a judge vote each day if you do not wish to. In order to elect a judge, greater than 50% of all remaining players in the game must select that judge in the same daily cycle. The result of the daily judge vote will be posted in the daily update.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Money management:

For many, your objectives might be based somewhat around money. A big decision for you might be how to keep your money safe. Each player has the following options to keep their money safeguarded:

1) Keep it in the Big City Bank
2) Keep it on your person
3) Keep it stored in your home under your bed matress.
4) (Mafia only) Allow the mafia boss to hold on to your money.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allegiance objectives:

Mafia - The Mafia team objective is to have a 1:1 ratio with the rest of the Big City (including all townspeople as well as independants) as well as getting one of your own elected as the judge.

Townspeople - Remove the mafia boss and his family from the game.

Independants - You have no allegiance specific objectives.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Detectives:

The detectives have the job of keeping order in the Big City. To do so, they must investigate crimes as well as make the arrest. Each day, the detectives individually have the options to do one of the following:

1) Investigate crime scene [With which crime scene listed]
2) Search location [With which player's home to search] (Requires proper search warrant from the judge)
3) Make arrest [with which player to arrest] (Requires proper arrest warrant from the judge).
4) Records lookup [Include which player or which fingerprints to look up records for. All matches in the Detective database will come back in return]

In addition to one of these four actions, each detective may also submit a request for one type of warrant each day. To place a request for a warrant, the dectective must PM me with the type of warrant and appropriate location or player it is for. A judge is not bound to approve any request for a warrant.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reporting a crime:

Sometimes, the unfortunate happens and you are victimized. If you find yourself a victim of a crime, please call the Big City police department by dialing 9-1-1. If your phone is not capable of dialing 911, you may also PM me with the crime that you would like to report. Please include the time, location and other details you wish to include.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being arrested:

A player when in jail is unable to perform any of their daily actions. A jailed player may only accomplish certain tasks by allowing the Big City jailer to perform the task for them. In order to have the town jailer perform a certain task for you, you must bribe him. To bribe the jailer, you must send me a PM with how much you wish to bribe with, what the task is you wish to accomplish. The only tasks you may have the jailer perform is one normally available to you when you are free from jail.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Big City Judge:

During the course of each day, a judge may issue one of each type of actions:

1) Issue search warrant [Include location]
2) Issue arrest warrant [Include player]
3) Sentence/Free player [include player.] (Player must have previously been arrested.)

A warrant is only good until the following day cycle ends. A Warrant issued at 8:59pm EST on Tuesday will be valid until 9:00pm EST on Wednesday. A warrant issued at 9:01pm EST on Tuesday will be valid until 9:00pm EST on Thursday. Any arrested player must be sentenced by the game cycle following their arrest, or they will automatically be set free. A player arrested at 8:59pm EST on Tuesday must be sentenced by 9:00pm EST on Wednesday or they will be set free. A player arrested at 9:01pm EST on Tuesday must be sentenced by 9:00pm EST on Thursday night or they will be set free.

When a player is sentenced guilty, they will be removed from the game regardless of what the sentence is for.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Mafia family:

The Mafia has the boss at the head of the family. He also has other family members who assist in the "Family operation". Not all members of the mafia are family, and thus some of the mafia henchmen are nothing but muscle working for the Boss. In return for loyal henchmen, the Mafia boss of course rewards generously.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Underground Messageboard:

In the internet age, you can find sites that do pretty much anything. The same is true here in the Big City where the rumored Underground messageboard lives. Rumor has it you might find good deals on hot items, juicy info about hot targets, possible job opportunities or the latest happenings in the underground. This information comes at a price however, and that price may fluxuate as time goes on. Each day the daily membership price of the Underground messageboard will be posted in the daily update. All posts on the underground messageboard are anonymous (or are they?)

The daily Underground messagboard actions that underground members may perform: (you may only post one message each day)

1) Post an item you would like to sell. (Posting a price is entirely optional)
2) Post a topic of information.
3) Post a job that you are looking for someone to fill. (posting the details of the job is entirely optional)

To post one of the above actions, simply send me a PM with the post you which to make. To inquire about someone else's post, you must also send me a PM with which Underground post you have an inquire about. Detailed info of the inquired post between the two parties will be done through me via PM. As I said, all underground activities are kept anonymous (maybe).
