Congratulations! Your name is on the list of beneficiaries for the New Human Village Wilderness Foundation charter. As a chartered beneficiary, you have the ability and responsibility to nominate trustees to the board, voting and campaigning for them as necessary.
It is Saturday in the New Human Village. Numerous individuals both human and otherwise have demanded the Foundation be organized immediately. They have offered to host and cater the banquet tomorrow, which leaves you with the minimum amount of time to assemble a board of trustees.
Today you will vote for the first of three trustees for the board. Tomorrow you will decide on the remaining seats.
During the Foundation banquet, a beneficiary will deliver a speech inaugurating the Foundation, and setting out its long-term plan. This will characterize the Foundation and set the tone for all its future endeavors. This means it is vital for the trustees to select a beneficiary who shares their ideas and beliefs, but due to certain bylaws they cannot select one of their own for this task.
Unfortunately, there are rumors of Youkai infiltrating your number. Such youkai may have the power to secretly communicate, or to manipulate the writing on the charter itself.
Rules of the game:
1. Don't be a dick. This includes anything that would get you warned by a mod of this forum.
2. Don't do something that would get you modkilled in most any other game of Mafia.
3. Play to win. The win conditions are different in this game, which may require different strategy than you are used to.
4. Do not discuss this game with anyone, except in this thread, the Boardroom, and the Youkai quicktopic. Do not give links to those topics to anyone.
Game mechanics:
All players start as beneficiaries. Beneficiaries who are not trustees may post and vote in this thread.
Voting results in a beneficiary becoming a trustee. Trustees may not post and vote in this thread. Trustees have access to the Boardroom, where they may post and vote.
When a player becomes a trustee, that player's faction is made public.
The two factions are Human and Youkai. Youkai players have access to the Youkai quicktopic.
After the first trustee is elected, the Youkai faction will select another trustee.
Once a quorum of three trustees has been installed in the Boardroom, this thread will be locked until the game is over.
The quorum of three trustees will elect one beneficiary who is not a trustee to win the game. That player's faction also wins.
