Din, Nayru, and Farore, the three Goddesses, sit on their golden thrones, watching the universe go by.

"Oh look," says Din. "The Triforce in Realm C16B.2 has been stolen."

"Gee," replies Farore sarcastically. "I wonder what happens next. A hero in green embarks on a journey to collect a bunch of items before confronting the villain who's been sitting in his castle waiting for him the whole time?"

"When you put it that way, it makes us look boring and predictable. After all, we created all this," says Nayru, sweeping her hand majestically across the universe.

"Hey, what if we fought Battle Royale style?" asks Din enthusiastically, a glowing sword materializing in her hand as she speaks.

Farore shakes her head. "We've been through this. There's no telling how our powers would impact the cosmos." Closing her hand on Din's blade, she extinguishes it effortlessly.

Din slumps back, pouting. "Party pooper. Why couldn't one of us be the jealous rebel who backstabs the others in a power struggle? As long as I'm not the one backstabbed," she adds quickly.

Nayru smirks. "I think you've been watching too many legends unfold. The usurper never wins."

Farore's eyes brighten. "That gives me an idea. We have all these similar realms with related timelines and stories. Why don't we pit those characters against each other?"

Din jumps up. "That's an amazing idea! Why do we need a Battle Royale when we have all these other beings to use?"

Farore frowns slightly. "Don't get too possessive or power-hungry, Din. We're not to interfere with the Realms directly. This will only be a slight diversion for our amusement, then we'll restore everything once it's done."

Nayru nods. "Now, who will we use for this game?"

A roster containing trillions of holograms appears in front of the goddesses.

"Let me pick first!" exclaims Din, as the roster spins back and forth. She reaches out and chooses one.

The hologram expands to show a man chasing a Cucco. With a mighty leap he catches the Cucco in his hands. Before he can celebrate, the Cucco raises its head and caws loudly. In a second, a hundred Cuccos appear and swarm the man, pecking him mercilessly until he resembles a bloody pincushion. The goddesses recoil at the carnage.

Ouro has died!

Hey, listen!

The goddesses have chosen you. Evil is here, and it must be vanquished. Fulfill your destiny.

You are Ouro, an Ordinary Non-Speaking Character (this means Vanilla Townie). Like the beginning of a particular franchise, you have nothing at your disposal. Not even a jump button. The only thing you can do is VOTE.

You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.

Fundamental
1. All site-wide rules are also applicable here. Please do not tarnish this community.
2. Unless your Role PM explicitly allows you to do otherwise, discussion about this game is strictly confined to this thread.
3. Unless your role PM explicitly allows you to do otherwise, do not quote or posts screen-shots of any PMs or posts that were not made in this thread. Obviously this is a grey area, but please try and play sportingly.
4. Within reason, you are allowed to lie about any game material or game-related conversations that could conceivably have appeared outside this thread [such as the content of role PMs or private chats allowed by a role]. If unsure whether a lie is reasonable, please ask the game-runner.
5. Do not refer or discuss to player activity in other forum threads or life in general beyond the game.
6. The player list includes the preferred personal pronoun of each player. Please try to use the correct pronoun.
7. Please be nice to your fellow players. Mafia can be a tense experience, and occasionally aggressive play is useful, but remember this is game and that everyone should have fun.

Activity and Deadlines
8. Treat this game as a commitment. Remember that other players' fun is dependent on your participation; this game only works if you remain reasonably active.
9. If you do not post in this thread at least once per Day Phase period without prior permission, you will be sent a PM requesting you respond immediately (a "prod"). If you do not respond to a prod by the end of the following Night Phase, you will be replaced.
10. If you need an extended period of absence for some other issues in life, please notify the game-runner by PM in advance. Leave of up to one Day and Night Phase (five days) is possible.
11. If you expect to be unable to post for a period of 7 days, please notify the game-runner by PM so that you can be replaced in good time - we're sad to see you go, but other players need to be able to continue to play.
12. Each Day Phase will last 3 days. Day Phases officially begin when the game-runner notifies players in the game thread, and end exactly 72 hours later (by NeoGAF post time-stamps).
13. Each Night phase will last 2 days. Night Phases officially begin when the game-runner notifies players in the game thread, and end exactly 48 hours later (by NeoGAF post time-stamps).
14. If a Phase ends and the game-runner has not received an action PM from a player with a relevant action, then that Phase will end with that that player making no action.
15. In the event of a day ending with no player having a plurality of the votes, then the game will proceed to the next night phase with nobody lynched ("no-lynch").
16. If a replacement is needed, they may PM the game-runner once to request the Night Phase in which they join is extended by up to 2 days, to allow catch-up time.
17. Game-runners may change the length of Phases at their discretion. However, they will inform players at the start of the equivalent Phase before (i.e., if Day 7 is set to be shortened, players will be no later than the start of Day 6).

Voting, Lynching, and Death
18. For your vote to count, it must be presented in the following format: VOTE: playername, via use of the highlight tag. It must also be in an entirely separate line from any other text.
19. To remove a vote from a player, you must present in the following format: UNVOTE: playername, via use of the highlight tag. It must also be in an entirely separate line from any other text. It is not necessary to unvote before casting new vote for a different player; unvoting is simply to remove a vote without casting a new one.
20. Players may use VOTE: No Lynch to end the Day Phase without a lynch ("No Lynch"). It must also be in an entirely separate line from any other text.
21. Misspelt votes will be accepted within reason; if the game-runner is unsure they will notify you and in the meanwhile discount the vote. Votes in broken tags will not count.
22. Once someone has received a strict majority (>50%) of the available votes, the day ends with the Lynch of that player or a No Lynch (whichever applies). Once this has happened, any further votes or unvotes that Phase will not be counted, and the Night Phase will begin shortly.
23. Some roles take place between the end of the Day Phase and the start of the Night Phase, so game-runners may allow a short period of time for this "Twilight Phase". Unless your role PM explicitly allows you to do otherwise, do not post during the Twilight Phase.
24. Once you are dead, you are dead: you may no longer discuss the game in ANY manner with ANY of the remaining players. Dead players may PM the game-runner one last message for the other players (a "Will"), which the game-runner will post on their behalf in the thread. The sole condition is that it contains NO game-relevant information, e.g. "Thanks guys for an excellent game!" is allowed, "My partner was John!" is not.

The Dead Thread
25. To allow dead players to freely discuss the game with other dead players, a secret thread will be created.
26. On death, a player can either opt to join the replacement list, or receive a link to the Dead Thread. They may not do both. If a player opted to join the replacement list, they may change their mind, but players who have a link to the Dead Thread cannot act as replacements.
27. The Dead Thread will also be made available to non-players, provided they have played in at least one GAF mafia game before in which they did not go inactive. These non-players will also be disbarred from the replacement list.

Other
28. Outside of votes and explicit allowances made by role PMs, the use of the highlight tag is strictly the game-runner's prerogative. Do not use it.
29. You may not put any active players in this game on your ignore list. If you have an active player on your ignore list, please remove them. Obviously this is on the honor system, but please don't do it, or joke about doing it.
30. Do not edit your posts. If you are a repeat offender, a replacement will be sought.
31. Do not use the email tags to hide extra content in your posts.
32. A list of the votes so far (a "Vote Count") can be requested by contacting any game-runner or game-tutor.
33. Game-runners reserve the right to add, remove, or modify existing any rules at any point, and enforcement may be applied retroactively. However, all players will be informed of changes, and changes will be consistent across games.
34. In general, do not try and exploit loop-holes in the rules.
35. Completed GAF games are often read by people thinking of signing up in the future. As such, please keep your avatar spoiler free - it should not allude to your role or alignment.
36. I will accept Night Actions up to three hours before the Day starts. Missing actions will be decided at Moderator's discretion.

I rented it once, but the motion controls always gave me difficulty. And I don't think it was interference either because Red Steel 2 played fantastic. Maybe I got a bad Wii Motion Plus or something? >.>;

Skyward Sword is okay, but it has a lot of unnecessary bullshit. Walking through sand depletes stamina? Lol no.

What Skyward Sword needs is the Wind Waker HD treatment - a nice HD remake that also removes the unneeded bullshit. An an option to play with a controller.

In The Legend of Zelda you play a woman named Zelda who is a space bounty hunter. She get various jobs in the galaxy, mostly fighting space pirates known as the Gerudo.

In the first game, the Gerudo attack a Galactic Federation vessel and seize samples of a species called the Skulltula, creatures that can absorb the energy from any living being, and can pretty much kill anything.

The Gerudo hide on the planet of Hyrule, and Zelda must investigate the planet, and fight against the Gerudo and it's allies, like the giant Goron, and the flying and deadly Rito.

There, now you're all caught up!
