Re: Easter Mafia (SIGN-UPS)
Just an FYI, my wife and I depart on our 10th anniversary cruise on June 24th. The sooner this game fills up, the less likely you’ll have to wait until we return to play.

Re: Easter Mafia (SIGN-UPS)
THE DESCENT
The Cadbury Bunny shivered for both physical and emotional reasons. The passageway he traversed was filled with signs of Paris’s morbid past. The vast network of tunnels and catacombs were eerie enough without the occasional skull adorning the wall or femurs placed as a makeshift archway.
“You know, EB,” he whispered to his companion, “when you said we were coming to Paris, this is not what I had in mind. Will you tell me who your contact is yet?”
“Since we’ve come this far, I will tell you now. He goes by many names but the one you are probably familiar with is Caerbannog.”
“Hold up,” the Cadbury Bunny said, stopping dead in his tracks. “I thought he was just a myth.”
“In every myth there is a kernel of truth, my friend.”
“But that rabbit is supposed to be evil incarnate.”
“Not quite but close enough. I doubt he’ll care much for your plot against the dentists but Caerbannog has a long-standing grudge against Christians. He may relish the opportunity.”
“When was the last time you saw him?”
“Oh probably over a century ago.”
“Then how do you know he’s alive?”
“If the Crusaders couldn’t kill him, then nothing that’s come since will have either. We just have to keep our ears up and look for any signs of him. These tunnels are enormous and-“
“Pwy sy'n difetha fy nghysgu?” bellowed a voice that echoed through the tunnels.
“I’m gonna die. I’m gonna die. I’m gonna die,” the Cadbury Bunny murmured to himself.
“Keep quiet and let me do the talking,” the Easter Bunny said to his companion. He stood on his hind legs and replied. “Helo hen ffrind. Rydym yn dod mewn heddwch.”
“Ffrind?” the voice answered. “Nid oes gen i ddim ffrindiau. Gelynion yn unig.”
“Rydych chi'n fy adnabod. Rwyf yn geg y Pasg.”
“Ydw,” the voice said. A long pause followed. “Ydw, dwi'n gwybod ichi.” Then the voice changed, as if straining to accommodate a common tongue. “Come into my chamber.”
And so they hopped into Caerbannog’s chamber, the Easter Bunny with poisze and the Cadbury Bunny with all the conviction of a wet noodle. They stood for a minute, hearing soft shuffling echoing around the room. Like a specter, Caerbannog appeared right in front of them, his eyes cloudy with age but ablaze with two millenia of spite and malice blazing beneath. After hearing the plot, Caerbannog chuckled.
“I care not for this war you wage upon dentists,” he wheezed, “but I will gladly put an end to these Christians who plague you. Long runs my feud with their kind.”
“Wondeful,” the Easter Bunny said, elbowing the Cadbury Buny with glee.
“But first, you must prove your committment to me.”
“H-how do we do that?” the Cadbury Bunny asked.
“This journey requires much strength. I must feed.”
“Oh sure,” the Cadbury Bunny said, “I know a great place not far from here. We could-“
“I smell humans in the tunnels tonight. Young and foolish. Lead them to me.”

Re: Easter Mafia (SIGN-UPS)
Well, you know, once all the secret roles capable of resetting the space-time continuum and transporting the game back and forth across a pan-dimensional void have their fifth lives eliminated, the phases should approach something resembling 48/24.

Re: Easter Mafia (SIGN-UPS)
THE CONVERSATION
The Cadbury Bunny looked around the crowded restaurant. Had the Easter Bunny gotten second thoughts and bailed on him? Was he going to have to try to pull this off on his own?
No. A pair of tell-tale ears hopped in through the door. As he rounded the counter, the Easter Bunny was greeted with a frightful cheer.
“EB! You sly dog, you made it! You had me wondering there for a second, you son of a gun!”
Embarrassed, but still willing to hear the American out, the Easter Bunny sat down. They ordered, ate, and talked business for almost an hour.
“I am most frustrated by these Christians you speak of,” the Easter Bunny sighed. “I wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the Lutherans, after all.”
“I hear you EB,” the Cadbury Bunny commiserated. “Believe me, I do. That’s why I turned to you. I’ve got fur in the game with my candy sales, which is why I turned to you. I may be riding your cotton tail on the holiday but without you, what am I? If these dentists keep this health kick going and these Christians keep pushing this crusade against anything they perceive to be secular, we’re both going to be rabbit stew!”
“Or hassenpfeffer.”
“God bless you?”
“Never mind. So what do you propose we do about all this?”
“Here’s the deal, EB- in a couple of weeks the American Dental Association and the leaders of this evangelical group are going to hold conferences in at the same convention center in Chicago. They’re not working together but they’re going to be in the same place at the same time.”
“Which means what?”
“We go there,” the Cadbury Bunny lowered his voice to a whisper, “and take out as many of these bastards as we can.”
“Ach du Lieber!” the Easter Bunny groaned. “Violence, my friend? I don’t know about this.”
“Believe me, EB, I’ve tried everything else. These people are at war with us whether we like it or not. The time has come for us to soldier up and take it right back to them.”
“But I’m just a poor, humble rabbit. I don’t know anything about murder.”
“I’ve got resources but I need personnel. You’ve been in the game longer than I have. Do you have any connections that could help the cause?”
The Easter Bunny sat in thought for a moment. His eyes grew wide as an idea crossed his mind. “You know, I just may know a fellow who can help us.”
“Great!” the Cadbury Bunny cheered as he hopped out of his seat with excitement. “Where can we find him?”
“Paris, France.”

Re: Easter Mafia (SIGN-UPS)
A STRANGER CALLS
Ready to retire for the night, the Easter Bunny took his final sip of tea and folded the day’s newspaper. He was nearly back the hall to his bedroom when the telephone rang. He looked at his pocket watch- 10:30 at night. It wasn’t unheard of to receive a call so late but that didn’t make it any less rude. Not one to blow anybody off, he hopped back up the hallway and picked up the receiver.
“Hier Oster” he said in his native German.
“EB, it’s CB!” The voice on the other end came almost without pause. “How you doin’ my friend? Long-time fan. Love your work. Listen, I just spent my day in board meetings going over preliminary financials. I’m getting my tail handed to me right now, babe. It’s brutal. Sales are down and I gotta do something about it, you know? So I got a proposition for you...”
“I’m sorry,” the Easter Bunny managed to interject. “Who is this?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” the caller said. “You probably don’t have caller ID, do you old-timer?”
“Nein- I mean, no. I don’t.”
“I should have known you were that old-school, EB! Should have known. Should have known. It’s CB- the Cadbury Bunny. From the commercials? Oh, that’s right, you silly Europeans don’t get to see my pretty face on TV. International marketing rights agreements are a hoot, I tell you.”
“Cadbury. Cadbury,” the Easter Bunny muttered. “Ah yes, the American Hase that clucks like a Hähnchen.”
“You’re losing me on the European words there, buddy.”
“It’s German actually.”
“European, German- it’s all Greek to me, buddy. So look, mi amigo, I may be cute and cuddly and all that but business is business and business ain’t doing so well right now. Michelle Obama and her health push may be gone but I’m still feeling the heat. I need your help, man.”
“Well, I don’t know how much help I can be without better understanding your situation.”
“I knew you’d pull through for me EB!”
“Err…”
“We rabbits have to stick together, right? Tell you what, I’m going to fly out to see you next week. How’s Tuesday sound? Where you living these days?”
“Tuesday is fine. I live in Munich.”
“Great! We’ll do lunch. You name the place and I’ll be there.”
“Görreshof Wirtshaus on Görresstraße. Meet me there at 12:30.”
“I’m so happy I could kiss you, EB! Ciao babe!”
The Easter Bunny stared at his phone for a good minute, pondering if it had all been his imagination. Deciding it hadn’t, he scribbled his appointment on the wall calendar and hopped back the hall to bed.

Roles
Civvies are divided into two overlapping groups:
CHRISTIANS:
Keith Shover- Founder and head pastor of New Dominion Independent Bible Church. Each night he can make an intercessory prayer capable of protecting other Christians. His power cannot protect anyone who is just a dentist or mafia. He is not told if his protections are successful or not.
Mark Willard- vannilla Christian civvie
Janice Curry- vanilla Christian civvie
Rachel Powell- vanilla Christian civvie
CHRISTIAN DENTISTS:
Doug Seltenheim- vanilla Christian dentist
William Pucino- vanilla Christian dentist
Shannon Miller- vanilla Christian dentist
Oscar Brisbin- vanilla Christian dentist
DENTISTS:
Gladys Campbell- Executive administrative assistant for the American Dental Association. Each night, she can check one player to see if they have ADA credentials, thus determining if they are a dentist or not. Checks on the mafia or the four roles that are just Christian will yield no result.
Horace Speck- vanilla dentist
Jennings Robeson- vanilla dentist
Lisa Chapman- vanilla dentist
MAFIA:
The mafia selects one player to kill each night. They may decide on the kill as a group. The kill does not have to be assigned to a specific member of the mafia, as there are no blocking powers in the game. If they fail to submit a kill request or abstain, there will be no kill.
Cadbury Bunny- vanilla baddie
Easter Bunny- vanilla baddie
Demon Rabbit of Caerbannog- He has survived for centuries. Crafty and tough, he cannot be lynched until both his teammates are dead. *secrets*
