Hey Everybody

Been thinking about this idea for a while and want to run a dead space mafia. It'll be based off of the EA game Dead Space

Info on the plot is here

Itll be mafia with a cult twist

[spoiler=Plot Info][Plot

In 25th century deep space, the USG Ishimura ("石村" literally "Stone Village") "Planet Cracker" ship, during the process of mining the planet of Aegis VII, sends out a distress signal to the Concordance Extraction Corporation (CEC), who dispatch the USG Kellion to investigate. As the Kellion attempts to dock with the Ishimura, an auto-dock guidance systems malfunction occurs and the Kellion is badly damaged, crashing into the Ishimura's dock. The crew then begins to seek another means of transport. As they explore the apparently abandoned ship, they are attacked by grotesque monsters who kill off all but Clarke (who becomes separated), Hammond, and Daniels. Hammond recognizes that many of the ship's systems are failing, thus he and Daniels direct and assist Clarke in fixing them, so as to keep them all alive for rescue.

During these treks, Clarke discovers various text and audio logs scattered throughout the ship and pieces together the events that transpired before his arrival: the ship's captain was actually an agent of the "Church of Unitology", a large and influential religious cult. The Ishimura was assigned to retrieve the religion's most deified relic, The Marker, from Aegis VII, under the guise of an illegal mining operation. Soon after The Marker was extracted and brought to the Ishimura, the civilians, first on the planet-side colony then the ship, suffered from mass hysteria brought on by violent hallucinations, before subsequently killing each other. The captain cuts off traffic and communications between the two sides and later goes insane as well. Dr. Terrance Kyne, the Chief Science Officer, tried to relieve him of duty, only to accidentally kill him in a struggle. An alien organism then began ravaging the colony, infecting the bodies of the dead and turning them into "Necromorphs" - mindless abominations that kill to spread the infestation. It then spread to the Ishimura via a colony shuttle carrying several Necromorphs, which crashed into the docking bay. Though Hammond states that he is unaware of what the Marker is, Daniels confides to Clarke that she believes Hammond is lying. Clarke later encounters his girlfriend Nicole, one of the Ishimura's crew, though they are unable to meet directly.

With the critical systems repaired, the three are able to launch a beacon, attracting a nearby military ship, the USM Valor. However, the Valor, having picked up an escape pod containing a Necromorph - launched earlier by Hammond, is overrun and crashes into the ship. Hammond then deduces, from the heavy military equipment he finds on board, that the Valor was actually assigned to destroy the Ishimura. The group then decides that they must find a shuttle and escape while they can. Clarke and Hammond retrieve the Valor's power core in order to repair an available shuttle, but Hammond is killed by a Necromorph in the process. Dr. Kyne, one of the few survivors, later contacts Clarke and urges him to return the Marker to Aegis VII, believing that it is a means of restraining the Hive Mind that controls the Necromorphs. After assisting Clarke in loading the Marker onto the shuttle, Kyne is murdered by Daniels, who reveals her position as a government operative ordered to retrieve the Marker for her superiors. She further reveals that the Marker is a reverse-engineered copy of an artifact found on Earth, and was placed on Aegis VII by the government to monitor its effects. She then leaves on the shuttle without Clarke, but Nicole arrives and is able to help him recall it, prompting Daniels to flee via an escape pod.

Clarke takes the shuttle with the Marker back to the colony, and replaces it there. This pacifies the Hive Mind, but also disrupts the gravity tethers holding a large portion of the planet several miles off the surface, threatening to destroy the colony. As Clarke attempts to escape, Daniels appears and starts to take the Marker back to the shuttle. She shows Clarke (through a fully recovered distress transmission) that Nicole actually committed suicide by injecting herself with a poison before they arrived on the Ishimura, and Clarke's visions of her had been the Marker's way of attempting to bring itself back to the planet. Clarke makes his way back to the shuttle where Daniels is loading the Marker. Before she can leave, the gigantic Hive Mind kills her, but Clarke is able to defeat it. Leaving the Marker behind, Clarke flies off in the shuttle before the colony is destroyed. As he sets course away from Aegis VII, Clarke removes his helmet and watches Nicole's first transmission again. Lost in thought, he is suddenly attacked by a Necromorph resembling Nicole. The screen cuts to black and the game ends.[/spoiler]

Aw f*ck, I just cant get enough of these, I'm in.....


For the record I HATE EA.

[wercool]

in. what part of that storyline will the game be taking place in?

[naxus]

it'll be taking place in early to mid game.

[strike wolf]

in...to note i haven't played the game myself but I know a decent bit about it.

[naxus]

3 outta 9 and its ok.As long as you know the basics

[Mr. Squirrel]

I would play (great game, played it twice) but I am currently in two other mafias and waiting for a third to start. Any more than three mafias and I start skimming and lurking and becoming a bad player overall. Maybe you should try again some other time when less mafias are going on.

[wercool]

wow telling someone to not host mafia. wow

[Mr. Squirrel]

wow telling someone to not host mafia. wow

Im not telling him not to host it (in fact, I would really want to be in a dead space themed game!), I just think he should do it after one of the larger mafias closes. Right now we have Nag's platoon mafia and your eragon mafia running with Talapus' clue mafia about to start and cena's mafia (hopefully) coming up. Im sure once one of them ends he will have plenty of people trying to fill their mafia addictions signing up for this game.

[naxus]

Think your right mr squirell.Im gonna delay it a week or two

[edocsil]

Week or two won't be anything lol.. Cena and Talpus will just be getting theirs started up then.

No real useful advice coming from me, just saying.....

[naxus]

delayed until a few mafias drop off

[Mr. Squirrel]

Well, I think cena's is no longer happening and clue doesnt seem to be starting any time soon so I'll just reserve my spot here now for when you decide to start it again, Naxus.

[colton24]

In. Shouldn't be too long before 'nother one ends

[jrl332005]

in please

[freewillhunting]

I would like to try and play

[naxus]

Back up and taking signups

[Victor Sullivan]

Does that mean I can play? Or is it too late at this point? Cuz I'd like to, but I'm kinda new to the whole mafia thing (I read the rules though) so I'll prolly need some grace.
