Due to a change that eliminates all interaction between the RDA and the Na'vi, the story is now completely irrelevant and is just here for show.

** The Story ** There are three, count them, THREE factions, the RDA, the Avatars, and the Na'vi. This is an experimental system for Mafia, hopefully it will work out all right.

How would this work, you might ask? Let me explain.

The RDA have come to Pandora to extract large amounts of unobtainium, which is an extremely valuable ore. However, the native species, the Na'vi, don't like the fact that not only did strange beings come out of the sky and started to tear up the jungle, the humans are also killing innocent creatures to get their ore.

In order to prevent what they think is an unnecessary all-out war, the RDA scientists have come up with an idea to "infiltrate", sabotage, and cause enough unrest between the Na'vi people so they would kill each other. This was the AVATAR program. Little did they know that the Na'vi are not mindless animals, but actually an intelligent species which are in their tribal stage of civilization.

The RDA leader on Earth personally selected humans from the colony to take part in the AVATAR program. (Those humans are randomly selected after sign ups are closed.) The Avatars themselves are not Humans, nor Na'vi, but genetically altered Na'vi grown with human DNA taken from those previously selected humans. There is one Avatar for each selected human. (For the sake of not confusing you, I am going to refer to the selected humans as Controllers, and their "Na'vi" body as Avatars.) The controllers would lie in a "Link Bed" that would, very basically, put the controllers to sleep and they would wake up as their Avatar.

For a few weeks, the Avatars were doing their job, and doing it well. They were infiltrating the Na'vi tribes and slowly but steadily becoming "one of them." But suspicions arose... a camera on an RDA bulldozer showed footage of one of the Avatars was trying to stop the bulldozer from tearing down the jungle. Only one security officer from the RDA saw it, and his attempts to alert higher officers failed, instead rumors began that the Avatars were not truly loyal to the human race.

Things were not going well on the Na'vi side of the story either. The Na'vi did notice that a couple Avatars were not really Na'vi, and they began to keep an eye on them. They had no idea of the exact number of Avatars. However, after the princess of the Na'vi tribe was found mating with one of the Avatars, and not with her intended husband, the Na'vi started to hunt the Avatars down. The Avatar that mated with her did flee from the tribe, but was killed during his escape. His controller body died from the shock. The Na'vi, knowing that there was at least one more Avatar among them, grew suspicious of each other.

The controllers were growing nervous, the RDA thought that they were against them, and in that they were right. But the RDA were wrong in the fact that they thought the Avatars sided with the Na'vi.

End of Story.

New rulz:
AVATARS vs Na'vi
AVATARS vs RDA
RDA and Na'vi do not interact with eachother.
Everything below is irrelevant.

** Factions **

So, the RDA want to kill the Na'vi, because they are in the way of their mining operations, and the Avatars, because they believe they are sided with the Na'vi against them.


The Avatars want to destroy the RDA, because they discovered the beauty of the world Pandora and they don't want the RDA to hurt it anymore. They also want to kill the Na'vi basically for revenge for their dead friend. (Nobody knows that one of their own had mated with the Na'vi princess, much less who it was.)


And lastly, the Na'vi wanted the Avatars dead because their princess is no longer a virgin, and they want the RDA wiped off of the face of Pandora for destroying some of the planet's wildlife just to get some rocks.


The Avatars are basically the mafia, with the RDA and the Na'vi being two opposing groups of Townspeople.
The game will end when only one faction remains, or, when a secret condition is fulfilled that only I know.

New rulz: Regular lynching system for RDA. Lynching happens during day, obviously.
For the Na'vi, however, that is reversed. They vote to lynch during the night, and the "mafia" are active during the day.
Everything below is still relevant.

** Lynching **
I want the lynchee's name posted so obtrusively that a blind person could read it (I will take no offense ). This is done in this topic, and not via PMs. (Obvious, but I MUST explain everything )
Players may choose to abstain from lynch voting. If you want to, simply say "I abstain."

Hunting is irrelevant now.

** Hunting ** Every Second Day, starting with Day 2 (i.e. Days 2, 4, 6, etc.), each Na'vi and RDA member may take a vote to hunt and kill one member of each others faction. You do not vote in this topic, all votes MUST be PMed to me. Sorry for the shouting... I have to do it otherwise some nitwit will surely forget it...

** Victory/Game Over Conditions **

-RDA eliminates all Avatars posing as RDA.
-Na'vi eliminates all Avatars posing as Na'vi.
-Secret ending if certain conditions are met, that are ONLY KNOWN TO ME!
-----I am unsure of what to do once all the RDA and/or Na'vi are dead. Suggestions?
