Smithers, to himself: "I'll avenge you, Mr. Burns, if it's the last thing I do!"
[Smithers pulls a cellphone out of his pocket, and dials.]
Smithers: "Yes, get me Fat Tony..."
[Smithers laughs, as the camera pans out, out of the powerplant, and hovers Springfield, showing the carnage and death toll caused by the previous battle. The titular Simpsons lie in crumpled heaps on the ground, except for Bart, who has retreated to Springfield Elementary - along with his... Ralph... to rest and recuperate, afraid to go home.]
[The remaining townsfolk begin cleaning up the mess. Lenny and Carl are laying Moe to rest. Sideshow Mel mourns both Krusty and Sideshow Bob (even if they haven't always seen eye to eye). Manjula Nahasapeemapetilon is both distraught - her husband, Apu, has been murdered - and relieved - Snake cannot rob her store anymore! They go about their business, with no knowledge of the levels of hell about to rain down on their fair city.]
[Meanwhile Smithers stands in a dark alley, talking to a figure engulfed in shadows. We cannot see his face, but we recognize his voice.]
???: This is MY town, I will not STAND FOR THIS!
[The figure walks away, but something dropped to the ground. Discarded, maybe. The camera zooms in, closer and closer, until we can clearly see it is a button. Closer and closer, until we can read it:]

====================
Rules Specific to this Game:
Spoiler:
1. Shawn is the Game Moderator. PM roles to me.
2. In this game, the Town Aligned players are TOWN OF SPRINGFIELD ALIGNED and the Mafia Aligned players are SPRINGFIELD POWER PLANT ALIGNED.
3. Winners will work differently in this game than they traditionally have on WC. If SPRINGFIELD ALIGNED meets their win condition, then EVERY SPRINGFIELD ALIGNED PLAYER wins. So if Shake is Night Killed on Night 1, but Springfield ultimately eliminates the Power Plant, Shake is a winner. My hope and expectation is that this will cause town to work together, and not play selfishly to stay alive and obtain an arbitrary win. Those who are alive at the end WILL still be recognized, but early game work will not be forgotten.
4. Every player will have something they can claim. My working theory is that if everyone can claim something that sounds "Town" when the game will come down to reads, and not "mass claim" on Day 4. There will be roles that cannot be claimed until certain things happen (like the Town Drunk in Simpsons 1).
5. Days cannot end in "No Lynch." The player with the most votes at the end of the day will be lynched, even if majority has not been met. Ties will be decided via coin toss.
6. Play nice. We're all looking to have fun. I understand what competitiveness can bring out in some of us, but name calling, insulting, and general douchebaggery will NOT be tolerated. Modkills may be given or replacements brought in at Game Moderators discretion.
Generic WC Mafia Rules:
Spoiler:
(Full credit to Sully for the general formatting of these)
1. In general mafia games there are three different alignments: Town, Mafia, and Independent. The town does not know who mafia is, and their goal is to hunt them down and lynch them before they're outnumbered. The mafia's goal is to kill as many town members as they can either by night kill or by manipulating the town into lynching their own. And the Independent will have their own winning conditions. Whether all three alignments are in this game or not is up to you to figure out as you play. Each day you will vote to lynch one player in the game. Votes must be made in bold like this "Official Vote: RED" or they will not count. Once the majority vote is reached that player will be killed. Days will last 24 hours. After the day is over you will have 12 hours to send in your night power. Night will end when all powers are sent in or the 12 hour time period is reached. Day ONE will last 24 hours.
2. Each player will be assigned to a character from the Simpsons Universe. DO NOT REVEAL YOUR CHARACTER, DO NOT EVEN HINT AT WHO YOUR CHARACTER IS. Even slight hints will result in modkills. I am not playing around with this, I will be very strict with what constitutes a character hint. Characters and their role powers have little to no relation whatsoever, so do not try to play the game based on what characters you think would have certain powers because it will not be effective.
3. DO NOT edit your posts. You will be modkilled if you do.
4. Do not discuss this game outside of this thread. Not on the forum, not on facebook, not on Twitter, not on Snapchat, not by messenger pigeon, not during tea time with your mother. Once the game starts it stays in this thread until it is over. Once it is over then we can talk about it. If you die, do not talk to a player that is still alive in the game. I will set up and moderate a chat room for the mafia team, if you die you are no longer permitted to talk in the chatroom but you may still view it. If you have a teammate role and your teammate dies, you may no longer stay in contact. Once the game is over, then you can discuss. Any violations of these rules will result in modkill for parties involved. There WILL be a separate chatzy set up for players who are eliminated from the game. This is the only place you can talk about the active game after your death.
5. Be active. I won't be too strict, but you can't be going a whole day or more without a post. I will modkill or replace for inactivity at discretion. Most everybody has a unique and thought out role in the game, and I want to see them all used to their full potential. There will be a lot of different dynamics and variables, but it won't be fun if half of the players aren't being active. Two whole game days without a post is generally the criteria for a inactivity modkill, but duration of days and timezone of the player will be taken into consideration. DO NOT message me telling me a certain player should be modkilled.
6. Night posting is not allowed unless your role specifically states otherwise, unless specifically stated by the Game Moderator. Once the day ends you are no longer allowed to post unless your role specifically allows it. Mistakes happen and I won't be too strict, but if you post 30 minutes after the day ending post then that will likely be a modkill, if you post like 5 minutes after and it looks like it took you a long time to write up then it'll probably be ok. I will not enforce a no posting rule for once lynch is cast, so you cannot be modkilled in between the time lynch is cast and the day ending post. However, there will be a warning post before the day ending post, so I don't want to hear excuses if you post after the day ending post and you get modkilled. Modkills here will also be used at discretion.
7. You may not use screenshots of anything outside of the game thread to prove your innocence. This will result in an immediate modkill. If at any time you are uncertain of whether an action or post will result in a modkill, PM me just to be safe.
8. The game ends when the win conditions or lose conditions have been met for all players. Roles will be chosen randomly.
