Pregame; Tension in the Air~

With the recent murders of Kagami and Ghaleon von Karma, Mafia City has been thrown into an all out war that many saw coming, but no one could stop. Each group within the City has finally given justification for all out war on everyone else, and they fight not merely for revenge on how the recent deaths have affected them but for grudges built up over time as well. Alliances forged between individual people have come into play; players and Game Masters alike have set out to rule the City themselves, destroying everyone in their way. Due to outside conflict and previous loyalties the Game Masters have found themselves divided and the players, quarreling over methods of revenge and the “just” way to achieve their goals, have been split as well. Even lacking the details of why this war has started now it is clear why it has started, looking back.

During the Users/Admins conflict, the Admins were defeated and their accounts erased from the database. There were whispers of someone finding a new area for the Users to dwell in; as time passed, a relatively new player, known as lukegb, soon founded a new domain for the Users to live in; content with this new area, they thanked him and took up residence there. As time passed, however, it was becoming apparent that the “game” they spent much of their time playing was becoming less of a game, as people took the game more and more seriously. The players started to resent the Game Masters for the power they held over their heads and occasionally abused- intentionally or not. Meanwhile the Game Masters were getting sick of having their creations wrecked by the “normal” players, and having to listen as they complained about their judgments and challenged their authority. Even as the split between Game Masters and players widened, the player base itself was becoming divided. There were those who were more willing to lie and kill to get their points across, and those who clung to their ideas of justice and peace. In effect they were now divided equally- there was the Town, and the Mafia, and then the Game Masters, split into three factions that, as their alliances were declared, gained their own nicknames.

There was Team VI, which consisted of former Game Master Boss Velotix and his Evidence Handler partner, Regy Rusty. Then Team Aoshi, which consisted of recent Game Master Aoshi and his Game Master partners, talented musician MercuryKitten and Dr. Zakeri. It was shortly determined that the people responsible for arranging the main catalysts of the war was the last team, Team Aokuro. They had managed to provoke all sides into an attack on the other, setting into motion something that was inevitable. Although how exactly it was their fault was unclear, so the other teams continued blaming their chosen enemies. This third Game Master team, headed by Allan's Aokage and Sakuro made themselves public as the forces of the Town (headed by Wondertwin OMG Cracker and WhiteElephant) and the Mafia (led by the 'innocent' DahliaXKristoph and manipulative genius FerdieLance) collided, each attempting to wipe out the other, while at the same time, eliminating the Game Masters. And thus we find ourselves in the present...
