I don't think you realise... Story:
As Flight 003 crossed the Atlantic Ocean, flying from New York, a sudden engine failure caused it to plummet towards the sea. Only fifteen passengers made it out of the plane, using flotation devices, and by the time they reached an uninhabited island, twelve remained.
Fortunately, this isn't some worst case scenario: fruit is abundant, growing on trees all over the island, and a few pools fresh water is available, including one larger watering hole, suitable for swimming and bathing.
There was only one problem. Debris began to float towards the island, and lo and behold, luggage appeared on the shore. A few of the passengers had brought jerky with them, and after three of them shared it, they suddenly developed a want for more meat.
The next day the remains of an unfortunate passenger were found. As there were no animals on the island, the survivors decided that one of them was a crazy psychotic murderer. They decided that every night they'll vote for one of their own to leave the island, hoping that it'll be the murderer.
And every night the remaining cannibals will pick off another from the group.
Who will survive - the innocent humans awaiting rescue or the cannibals gone crazy? ...that you're breaking my heart.

I don't think you realise... Typed by Cookie Pixie. @.@
Quick And Dirty Gameplay:
Every day, vote out one of your fellow survivors. Cannibals also tell me who they're eating. Votes are tallied by a deadline time and a new round begins the next day.
Last ones standing win!
Starting a New Game:
The GM (game master) will make a thread calling for sign ups. The thread will have the following information bolded:
Cost to join in and play: this money goes to the winners' pot.
Number of players: only a certain number of players can be taken per game. First come, first serve.
Deadline time: this is the time that votes have to be in by. The time is always given in Eastern Standard Time. If you don't live in this zone, refer to this clock.
Gameplay (full instructions):
1. You will receive a PM with a title: either HUMAN or CANNIBAL. (For simplicity, that's what I'm classifying them as. Take your moral debate elsewhere, it's just a game.) If you are a HUMAN, the PM will link you to the game thread. If you are a CANNIBAL, the PM will list your fellow cannibals.
Humans and Cannibals are selected randomly by Randomizer.org; I don't choose or have any influence over the results.
2. Talk in the thread! Roleplay, chat or just bounce suspicions off each other! This isn't the only way to chat though. I highly recommend that survivors exchange IM information. It's simply easier to get in touch with others.
3a. Every day, before the deadline, one person will be voted off the island. Before this deadline, you MUST PM Cookie Pixie who you plan to vote out. I will show on the survivor list how many votes each person has received, but not who has voted them. You may change your vote; the last thing I receive by the deadline is your decision. If I don't receive anything? That's cool too.
3b. In the event of a tie, the survivors in question will go head to head for another day. A second vote is taken. The survivors in question cannot vote, but can try and convince the other survivors not to vote them off. If the tie continues, I will randomly select who goes.
3c. If you are a cannibal, you and your fellow cannibals must also collaborate and decide who to eat. This can be done through PM, AIM, e-mail, whatever. So long as someone sends me something by the deadline.
This is in addition to the survivor vote: therefore, humans send me who they want to cast off and cannibals send me who they want to cast off and who they want to eat.
3d. Cannibals eat every night. If I get no votes from the cannibals, I will randomly pick off a human. If there's a head to head vote, the cannibals can still pick off a human. This is to keep the game moving.
4. When all the votes are received or the deadline expires (whichever comes first), I will post the results and a new round of voting begins. I may or may not reveal whether the survivor was a human or a cannibal.
5a. Everyone on the island has access to the radio. However, the witch doctor will try to send clues through the radio to the humans to stop the cannibals. If you are a human, check your PMs often! You may receive a clue from the witch doctor, but it is up to you to share it with the group.
5b. Cannibals will never receive clues. The cannibals must be cunning enough to make up their own clues to cause confusion among the humans. Humans, look out for anyone who isn't speaking up about their clues!
5c. Don't trust anybody. Okay, not really recommended. But the cannibals will do anything to confuse the humans and pick them off. In fact, I encourage them to use any means necessary to prove they're humans. Lying? Just the tip of the iceberg.
The only person you should trust is the me. I send clues directly to humans and even though they sound messed up and cryptic, there is truth behind them.
6. If there are not enough players, all entrants will receive a full refund.
Winning:
Humans: Vote off all the cannibals before you're all eaten. However, only the surviving humans will split the pot. Therefore, if you were eaten on the first day but by the fourth day the cannibals are gone, you don't get anything.
Cannibals: Reduce the number of humans to less than your original number. If there are two cannibals, you need to trim the herd down to one human. If there are three cannibals, you win if only two humans remain (not including cannibals). All cannibals receive a share of the pot, regardless of whether they survive or not.
Strategy:
...I've already told you how to play; I'm not going to tell you how to play it well! ...that you're breaking my heart.

I don't think you realise... Rules:
1. This game will require DAILY PARTICIPATION. If you will not be able to check Gaia at least once a day, I suggest that you don't play. You may end up holding up the game or your fellow players. (I do understand that everyone's only human. If you're not able to get on once or something, it will be fine.
2. Please do not change the appearance of your avatar or your username. These are important to the clues. I din't think some people would be able to deal with not changing their avatars, so I'll make a picture at the beginning of the game. But changing your username is confusing, so don't if you can avoid it.
3a. If you're out, you're out. Don't post here anymore. Don't communicate with the other players in the game. This is to heighten the sense of drama, having a voice suddenly cut off. I know I can't stop PMs, but I trust you guys to play fair. I will throw you out of the game if you don't comply.
3b. If you're not in the game, don't post. It'll confuse the players and lend an uneven advantage to one side. Posting is limited to the survivors.
4. Please post your thoughts on the thread, but communication isn't limited to here. The cannibals will definitely need to PM or IM each other elsewhere; if you trust someone enough to share your suspicions, feel free to use PM/IM. However, if you want to talk to everyone, I recommend using the thread.
5. Should I throw you out of the game, you're not getting a refund.
6. I try to be fair, but I'm also human. Changing your vote once or twice is okay, but after the seventh "Sorry, changed my vote" PM you're going to piss me off. And I can't guarantee that I'll treat you fairly if you keep it up. Also, if I make a mistake, I apologize - after all, I'm human - and feel free to correct me!
6b. In accordance with Being Human, I do not live on Gaia. I might be, in this context, more human than a lot of you, being rather young and at the mercy of my parents. I will try to answer things in a timely fashion and update as soon as possible, but if I had to choose between my mom's trust and updating the game? Hmm.
7. Rule-breaking is on a two-strike system. First offence - I PM what you did and list your name. Second offence - you're out.
I may clear your name after the game, depending on the severity of the offence. Like I said, I'm human and I'll think about it.
8. This game is meant to be run by the players, not by me. As some of you may know, I'm a b***h when it comes to being helpful. I'll answer technical questions like "Am I allowed to do this?". But things such as "Can you help me with this clue?"? I'll tell you to talk to the other players. If you don't put "Spaghetti and meatballs" as your trade title, I'll know you didn't read the rules.
It wouldn't be fun or challenging if you could get all the answers from me; this game is designed so you have to interact with each other. I won't rip off your head if you ask me a question that I won't (not can't, won't) answer, but be prepared to be disappointed if you're asking me for help.
9. Rules may change at any time.
10. Questions? See me. ...that you're breaking my heart.

{~{ Our greatest glory is not in never falling,
Yes. Im' joining this game too. Once you finish setting up, that is.
You should change the storyline for this game a little. TGO used the cannibalistic sprits of the Fiji islands as an excuse for someone the survivors to turn into cannibals. If you're unable to come up with a storyline, you can use mine.
The flight 003 crashed somewhere in [INSERT OCEAN HERE], on a small island previously unknown to man, marooning a small amount of survivors. This island had been obscured by thick fogs, so navigators couldn't see it. While the outer fog that reaches as far as two miles away from the island is harmless, the chemical make up of the heavy fog on the island itself can cause human minds to go crazy, most likely turning them into cannibals. Some people are immune to this fog, though, which is why not all of the survivors of Flight 003 don't go insane.
But in rising every time we fall. }~} Confucius
