This dream has collapsed. It is visible to any player who had access to it at any point, but not to players who never had access to it.

Press the button.

THIS DREAM IS COLLAPSING.

She'd finished filling the tub just a moment before she felt the floor vault sideways.
Thankfully the bath was protected by an outer screen, so the water could mostly remain in place.
Clearly this was the kick. She had to hope she had everything ready.
She kicked the chair under the first dreamer.
Back they vaulted toward the spilling water.

Subconscious Phase 4 has ended.

ColinIsCool has been kicked from this dream level.

Inception Phase 4 begins now. You have 24 hours until 6:00 PM EST to get your actions to both hosts.

I/we may be slightly late (15ish minutes) in getting the end-of-phase post in. We'll do our best.

To be clear, that only applies when the thread is locked. Nothing changes right now.

Seemingly only members of the site staff have the ability to use the quote function within a locked thread. Many of our games here don't feature locked phases, so this isn't something we encounter often. With that in mind, I will restrict usage of the quote function for everyone for the remainder of the game during any locked phase. That doesn't mean players cannot still directly extract content via copy-paste and/or the usage of generic quote tags -- these just won't call back to the original post. Any questions, PM me. Thanks y'all.

[mention]ColinIsCool[/mention] had been restricted from the thread by mistake. He now has access.

You are no longer restricted in stating suspicions or intent to vote. You are only restricted in revealing past private votes. Any questions, give us a holler.

Deadline in approximately 56 minutes.

New deadline timer, updated in the first post

Just in case it's unclear, this implies the phase will be a total of 49 hours instead of 48 (deadline is one raw hour later, even if the "same" time at 6PM). Thanks Ben Franklin.

Reminder to everyone to account for Daylight Saving Time. All game deadlines will reflect the clock being moved back one hour.

BUT WAIT!

I screwed up like a doofus, which means all of you do get to know the following:

boo was lynched. He was:

Spoiler: show

This was decidedly not deliberate information, but oh well. Happy Halloween. PMs with questions as always.

The deadline for voting in this phase is 6:00 PM EST today (Friday), in just over 17.5 hours.

Votes will be accepted at 6:00 but not 6:01. The following timer is official: Click. I will add this to the first post of the thread.

Hey gang, lets please respect Michelle here by placing gifs within spoilers. I understand the struggle, they can be hard on my eyes too. They’re fine to feature, just please spoiler them. Thank you!

I would like to remind everyone that if you ever have frustrations you’d like to air beyond the scope of standard Mafia play, especially with the hosting, you may send a PM to our Moderator on Duty: [mention]speedchuck[/mention]. We said this would be an unorthodox game. I have never run and will never run a bastard game. For those who do not understand or otherwise are bothered by the unique rules of this thread, please at least know that both Sloonei and I are experienced hosts. We care deeply about balance and fairness, and do not make decisions about rules willy nilly for our own amusement. These are the circumstances for a reason! If you have any questions or concerns, you should always feel free to ask us privately.

Please don’t interact with this post. I would prefer to let the game develop entirely without me!

If it is unclear, you may only vote for players located here with you. Observe this accordingly as you follow the stated rules. Thanks!

Just to clarify!

Stating an intent to vote for a specific player overtly is illegal. Given that there is potentially obvious subtext in similar commentary such as "Player X is mafia", that should also be avoided. Apply the rule of three-or-more in all such instances! I appreciate your respect for the rules. I realize it's unusual. As always, PM the hosts with any questions!

I will add this note to the original rules content. Please do not interact with this post publicly. Thanks.

You don't recognize him, but you're expecting him. You were always expecting him.
"Your ride is outside." he says to you.
You nod, drape your coat over your shoulders, and wave farewell to Monty.
The man leads you outside, and the rain is intense. Your coat is an insufficient shield.
He opens the backdoor and ushers you into the limousine.
There are others here. You expected them as well.
As you pass through the city, people outside glare into the vehicle. The rain soaks them.
Their behavior is ordinary and uninteresting. You're approaching your destination.
The entrance to the building is supported by three broad pillars. They are separately colored blue, white, and red.
Etched prominently into each pillar is the letter Y. The aesthetic is quite ugly.
You hear a string of loud pops somewhere outside behind the vehicle. Tires squeal.
You're a bit subdued by the three complimentary glasses of red wine you just enjoyed.
You're extremely groggy. Your eyelids flutter reflexively as your alertness fades. Fades. Fades.

Inception Phase 1 has ended.

Subconscious Phase 2 begins now. You have 48 hours to lynch someone.

We have to go deeper.

You have submerged into a new dream level. Your reality is here now, and what came before is forgotten. For now.

The rules that govern this dream are different.

As you retreat deeper into the subconscious mind, the lines between what you see in front of you and what you see within you are blurred. You jaunt from one scene to another in a flash, at speeds so impossible as to make it a sure falsehood. Yet you do not perceive it as so. This is the world. This has always been the world. It makes perfect sense.

Voting in this dream level will no longer take place in a poll. You will no longer call your votes in the thread. Both of these are banned. Voting must be handled PRIVATELY. At any time during the subconscious phase, you may place a vote by sending a personal message to both hosts: JaggedJimmyJay and Sloonei. You may change your vote at will as many times as you like. The hosts will not provide any tally.

Likewise, each of the following is prohibited on this dream level:

~ Stating who you will vote for.
~ Recommending others vote for any specific player.
~ Rainbow lists
~ Any other obvious actions which do or can reduce your potential vote with certainty to a single player.
~ Compile a public count of potential votes, even if uncertain, based upon content in the thread.

What can you do?

~ Build a case or cases.
~ Review an ISO.
~ Engage in real-time discussion featuring accusations, defenses, or whatever other ordinary talking points which do not equate to "I will be voting for Player X" or anything similar.
~ Project your vote to a group of three or more players minimum.
~ Recommend others vote within a group of three or more players minimum.

Just to clarify!

Stating an intent to vote for a specific player overtly is illegal. Given that there is potentially obvious subtext in similar commentary such as "Player X is mafia", that should also be avoided. Apply the rule of three-or-more in all such instances! I appreciate your respect for the rules. I realize it's unusual. As always, PM the hosts with any questions!

If it is unclear, you may only vote for players located here with you. Observe this accordingly as you follow the stated rules. Thanks!

If you want to say something and are uncertain whether it would fall in line with these rules or the intended spirit of these rules, ask the hosts privately first. Otherwise, if you think a post might not respect these guidelines fully, then it is best left unposted. Any violation, or any attempt at exploiting a loophole, will result in punishment to your faction. This rule exists for a reason.

Role claiming and information claiming remain illegal.
