I'm hosting this as the creative director, along with my technical director Blazer, that will get all the cool stuff done while I write out the scripts and roles. Don't post or sign up quite yet. It's a work in progress I'm still doing.

Introduction

It is the distant future of year 2199. You live out your life in a world full of skyscrapers as you rush to your office to complete your day job in your cubicle, return home to your apartment, and ocassionally call in the red lady to relieve this loneliness you feel and a certain need to be satisfied.

Dead end job, in a dead end world, in a meaningless existence just for a struggle for survival. Everything seems normal and a part of the cycle of life. Or is it?

It turns out you've been having this strange feeling... like you're being controlled and trapped in an illusionary world. You've heard rumours, whispers, strange obscure talk that this world you live in is a computer system known as 'The Matrix'. Stories of how this artificial world was created by sentient machine life forms for the sake of harnessing your body heat for their survival and how a great war took place between the humans and them began to surface.

Bit by bit, your hold on the reality you live is shattered. But what exactly lies beyond the Matrix? You aren't happy with your life now, but you're used to it. What choice will you make? Who will you follow?

Sign up now and choose your destiny!

M-FMs can have lower players if they have creative mechanics

Isn't MFM a small small Mafia? Not the really big one?

Also, I'm rather new to hosting. That's why I am the creative director and maker of roles and flavours with script writing.

sfm = simple fm (no more than 13 roles and basic mechanics)
mfm = max of 20 players, special mechanics and roles allowed
fm = we all know that one

Thinking about making the oracle a neutral observer role that's killable that can interact with everyone.

I'm having balance issues with her.

I'm also open to matrix flavoured role ideas at this point

Thanks for support.

Still thinking about the oracle mechanic. Maybe as long as she survives, one random person a night gets to ask her a question... which she will reply to with a cryptic answer moderated by me. Still not sure. *sigh*. I should take lunch and a break. My brain is no longer that productive.
