Story:
Flight 009 was chugging its way from Vancouver to Tokyo when there was a minor explosion in three of its engines.
After twenty minutes of flames, screaming and a couple thousand feet of freefall, the wreckage finally rested on a mysterious tropical island, with only eight survivors from the entire flight...

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!
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 also 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 the GM 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, one of the survivors in question will be randomly voted off.
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.
If I get no votes from the cannibals, no humans will be eaten for that night. This gives the humans a better chance at surviving and the cannibals the inability to slack off and let me do the dirty work.
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. Stop screenshotting, damnit. Explanation goes here.
Winning:
Humans: Vote off all the cannibals before you're all eaten. However, only the surviving humans are considered the winners. Therefore, if you were eaten on the first day but by the fourth day the cannibals are gone...uh, poor you.
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).
Gameplay is subject to change at any time.

Rules:
1. This game will require DAILY PARTICIPATION. I reserve the right to kick inactive players from the game. Please post at least once a day in the game thread - even if it's "Hi, s'up dawgs?"; even if you spend more time chatting on AIM/MSN.
This is to confirm that you're still active in the game. It isn't fair to have humans coast to survival because they never post and act suspicious. It isn't fair to take up slots when others want to play. The game needs to move and I will cast off dead weight.
2a. Please do not change your username during the game. This is to minimize confusion during the game, both for other players and me; if I see someone posting and s/he's not on the survivor manifest, that's a strike.
2b. You can change your avatar's appearance. The GM will take a screenshot of your avatar for clue referencing.
2c. One account per player; don't sign up with multiple accounts. If you have two accounts on Gaia, don't take up two slots in one game. If I need to explain why, I think you should reconsider joining. Likewise, please don't post with multiple accounts. Not everyone knows that Billy Bob Poster's mule account is Mistress InuDemon396.
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. To prove you've read the rules, post "I'm in!" in this post.
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.
6a. 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" or "Can you pleeeeease help me with this clue?" 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 will try to answer things in a timely fashion and update as soon as possible, but if I had to choose between guaranteeing my survival in the real world 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.
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.

Yeah, open.
I don't have work for a week, but have to fly out on Wednesday. I'm hoping for a speed game, here, if players sign up fast enough.
