"Do I really need to go into the background on Nirrti, guys? I mean, we've dealt with Nirrti several times, we just ran into her a couple of months ago, we all know this stuff by now. Right, Jack? Good.

There's a little bit of new stuff, though. Last we'd heard, Nirrti had been kicked out of the System Lords after her little stunt during the Protected Planets Treaty negotiations. Apparently, she's been let back in, or at least invited to this summit, but Tok'ra intelligence isn't sure exactly why. She's got the power base to be a System Lord, but System Lords like Sokar and Anubis were more powerful back in the day and that didn't earn them an invitation back to the System Lords so that's probably not it. Personally, I suspect it has something to do with her scientific research, probably something related to her Hok'Taur research, but there's no way to tell for sure.”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit Mafia, hansanator! You are Nirrti, a Gou'Ald scientist and former System Lord invited to this summit to discuss your possible reinstatement. In order to encourage the other System Lords to reinstate you, you've brought along a couple of devices you devised while researching how to create an advanced human (hok'Taur) host – including an advanced scanner that can identify not only whether someone has naquadah in their blood but whether they are a Gou'Ald or just a former host. That may be more useful than you expected, since SG-1 appears to have infiltrated the summit! But the device must be used at close range, and frankly you'd rather be continuing your research – if you can catch SG-1 without using it, why bother?

You are a Town Retaliator Cop. You have the following special abilities:

Activated Abilities:
Naquadah Scan – Each night, if a member of the town was lynched the previous day, you may target a player. You will learn that player's alignment. This ability is Sane - your results are guaranteed to be accurate unless another ability interferes with them.

You win when all threats to the town are dead.

”So, Osiris. We ran into him last year, so we should all know the background by now, but just in case Jack doesn't remember: old System Lord, got left in a canopic jar in Egypt with his queen Isis, Isis died but Osiris survived and infected my old college girlfriend, Sarah Gardner. Left Egypt in a small spaceship. Tok'ra intelligence indicates that he's managed to rebuild a small fiefdom over the last few months, absorbing a couple of minor Gou'Ald and getting himself invited back into the System Lords. Now, the interesting thing is that he seems to have gotten his hands on a couple of advances that the rest of the System Lords don't seem to have access too. Gou'Ald aren't usually scientists and most Gou'Ald scientists aren't System Lords so I doubt he got that tech on his own. However, one of the planets Osisis captured had an Asgard outpost and the Asgard report that the outpost's personnel is missing so what the Tok'ra suspect happened is that Osiris captured the outpost and used some kind of mind probe to extract information from the prisoners. We'll want to be careful about that, a mind probe is exactly the sort of thing a System Lord would bring to this kind of summit to get an edge in negotiations and a mimic device won't protect against that.”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit Mafia, Voxxicus! You are Osiris, a once-great System Lord imprisoned on the Tau'ri for several thousand years. You recently escaped after being excavated by an archaeologist, and have managed to build an new empire over the last couple of years. You've had a couple of tricks that helped you return to power, and you brought one of them with you – a mind probe that lets you look into other people's dreams while they sleep. You hadn't planned on SG-1 showing up, but it might just help you catch them...

You are a Town Rolecop. You have the following special abilities:

Activated Abilities:
Memory Recall Device – Each night, you may target a player. You will learn that player's role name (but not alignment). (For example, your role name is Rolecop.)

”Oh, one last thing. This is a bit crazy talk, but we deal with enough crazy stuff that I think we should take this under advisement?

So, there's a new Gou'Ald out towards the edge of Gou'Ald space called Amon. He's not a huge player right now – controls a few systems, had some successful skirmishes with other Gou'Ald and gained a bit of territory, nothing unusual for a minor Gou'Ald. But heres the thing: here's been a couple of reports from Tok'ra operatives that claim that Amon behaves almost exactly like Ra did. Now yes, I know, we killed Ra at Abydos seven years ago. But Ra used to be called Amon-Re by some of the Egyptian sects back when the Gou'Ald were still on Earth, and how many times has Apophis come back from almost certain death? So... I don't think we should rule the possibility out. And if Amon IS Ra, he's probably going to try to attend the summit. Ra's pretty recognizable and had by far the strongest power base back in the day – the other System Lords would probably welcome him back as Supreme System Lord if he announced himself.

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit Mafia, Plowshares! You are Ra, former Supreme System Lord and the Gou'Ald who originally discovered the Tau'ri and enslaved its people. But your slaves rebelled and drove the Gou'Ald off the Tau'ri, and seven years ago they sent a small force to your outpost at Abydos and nearly killed you while you were inspecting it. You've spent the time since recovering and have started your return to power; you had planned to finish it by announcing your return at this meeting. But the humans of the Tau'ri showed up – including two of the ones who nearly killed you at Abydos. You've underestimated the humans twice, and have no intention of doing so again. You can reveal yourself if you need to – until then, you can keep your head down.

You are a Town Leader. You have the following special abilities:

Passive Abilities:

Supreme System Lord (1-shot) – When half of the town is dead at the beginning of a game day for the first time, your alignment will be mod-confirmed in thread and you gain the Loyal Retainers passive ability (“The first time you would be killed by an ability this game, prevent that kill. You will be informed when this happens.”).

”This is Ba'al. He's one of the System Lords we haven't dealt with much. Used to rule over the Middle East back when the Gou'Ald were still on Earth – you may remember the old legends about sacrificing children to Ba'al, that's him, though I think the legends probably refer to Ba'al taking children to become Jaffa. The Tok'ra reports indicate that he's more scientifically minded than most Gou'Ald, though he relies on a couple of minor Gou'Ald allies for his best tech, and he's unusually smart and ruthless for a Gou'Ald. He's less invested in the God act than most of them. Could be trouble, as Jack would say.”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit, Cyan! You are Ba'al. You are one of the most pragmatic, practical, and ruthless of Gou'Ald, and brought a couple of special packages to the summit as a precaution... and as preparation in case the right opportunity showed itself. SG-1 showing up is certainly the right kind of opportunity; hopefully, you can get rid of them here and now, and if you happen to accidentally kill a System Lord in the process what's a little collateral damage between friends?

You are a Townie Vig-of-All-Trades. You have the following special abilities:

Activated Abilities:
Explosive Gift (2-shot) – Twice during the game at night, you may target another player. You will kill that player.
Hand Device (Rapid Action, 1-shot) – Once during the game during the day, you may target another player by typing Kill: PLAYERNAME in the thread. You will kill that player. This is a Rapid Action (it resolves immediately upon receipt).

So, Tel'chak! Now, the important thing to remember about Tel'chak is that he's not actually a System Lord. He's one of the Gou'Ald scientists and by all accounts prefers to stay out of the Gou'Ald power struggles and work on tech stuff. He did rule a small area in what is now Central America back in the day, but by all accounts he no longer bothers with the power struggles and is content to rule a couple of planets under the protection of another Gou'Ald. But he gets invited to System Lord summits anyways as a recognition of past accomplishments, because he invented the sarcophagus technology that the Gou'Ald rely on to extend their lifespans. It's kind of a sweet deal, honestly – he gets most of the influence he would have as a full System Lord without having to worry about being taken down by rivals.”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit, CitricBase. You are Tel'chak, the Gou'Ald who reverse-engineered the life-restoring sarcophagus from Ancient technology. You've brought your own personal upgraded sarcophagus to the summit, which may just come in handy because SG-1 showed up and seems to be using some kind of weapon or poison that prevents the normal version from working. Your sarcophagus only has so much power, though, so use it wisely!

You are a Town 2-Shot Reviver. You have the following special abilities:

”This is one of the funny cases. We killed Setesh two years ago in that cult complex, right? Found the symbiote's body and everything. Well, either there's an impostor calling himself Setesh or the Gou'Ald we killed wasn't actually Setesh or something funny is going on, because the Tok'ra got some pretty reliable intelligence recently that indicates Setesh is back. Whoever this new Setesh actually is, he showed up about a year and a half ago, assassinated a minor System Lord, and took over that System Lord's territories and a few new ones. Apparently, he's attending the summit to petition for his reinstatement to full System Lord. As you may recall, he's a master of mind control, which probably helped him return to power. He also seems to be very good at assimilating the empires and technology of fallen Gou'Ald, given how quickly he got his new territory up and running.”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit, 7hawk77! You are Setesh – or, more specifically, an alternate universe version of Setesh who participate in a failed assault on the SGC and managed to escape using a quantum mirror. You wound up on this universe's Earth, and were able to use brainwashing to escape Area 51 and gain access to the second Tau'ri Stargate in Russia. You've managed to build a new empire since you escaped, and the System Lords are considering allowing you to return to their ranks... but that will have to wait, because SG-1 showed up. At least you have some past experience fighting them... and Bill Lee definitely isn't here this time.

You are a Town 1-Shot Targeted Backup. You have the following special abilities:

Activated Abilities:

“So, next up, Yu! Who is sitting in a chair listening to this briefing – sorry, General Hammond, I had to make the joke before Jack got to it.

Okay, so let's talk about the System Lord Yu. You might remember him, he was one of the Gou'Ald sent to negotiate the Protected Planets Treaty. Used to rule in what is now China back when the Gou'Ald were still on Earth, and got remembered in mythology as the first Chinese emperor. He's one of the oldest Gou'Ald, and unusually smart and practical for the species – he often gets sent to handle diplomatic issues because of that, and has negotiated with the Asgard many times. He's been left out of a couple of recent negotiations, though, apparently due to health reasons; there's some recent Tok'ra reports that claim he's been having trouble with the sarcophagus lately. If that's the case it might be having some kind of effect on him, but I'm not sure what. I guess Yu can figure it out? Okay, that one was all me.”)

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit, TappingStones! You are Lord Yu, a powerful System Lord and the butt of a thousand jokes at Stargate Command. You are cunning and have a degree of common sense uncommon in a Gou'Ald, and are often tasked with negotiating with alien species. Unfortunately, you are also one of the oldest Gou'Ald in existence, and have grown so old that even the regenerative effects of a sarcophagus are no longer holding off the effects of old age. Dementia is beginning to set in... but if you can't trust your own judgment, whose judgment can you trust? Your fellow ambassadors?

You are a Town Ambassador Priest. You have the following special abilities:

”Our next likely summit attendee is a Gou'Ald we haven't encountered before, Amaterasu. She's remembered on Earth as the Japanese sun god. Relative to the other System Lords she's not particularly important, but she's somewhat more reasonable than most Gou'Ald so when Nirrti got kicked out of the System Lords two years ago they chose her to take Nirrti's place as part of the diplomatic team.”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit, Seppel. You are Amaterasu, a System Lord currently serving as a diplomat for the Gou'Ald.

”Now, this is Camulus. He's another Gou'Ald you may be unfamiliar with. He's a System Lord, remembered on Earth as the Celtic god of war. He's pretty minor compared to other System Lords, but there's a couple of things of note. First, when we took out Cronus's flagship last year Camulus was the only person the System Lords could agree on to take Cronus's place as part of the System Lord diplomacy team. Second, Tok'ra intelligence indicates that one of Cronus's worlds has an old Ancient outpost on it, and while he's not much of a scientist he has managed to figure out how to use a couple of devices that he's found there. The Tok'ra think he might be planning to bring one or two of them to the summit, so watch out for that.”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit, Tordeck. You are Camulus, a System Lord currently serving as a diplomat for the Gou'Ald as a whole. You spend a fair amount of time with a couple of other System Lords serving as diplomats, and are rooming with them for this summit... but your fellow diplomats don't know that you brought an Ancient cloaking device with you!

“So, this is Olokun. I'd talk about him, but looking at the Tok'ra reports there's not really much to talk about? He's about as average as a System Lord gets – the most interesting thing about him is probably that he's one of the very few System Lords that set up a territory in Africa back before the Gou'Ald got driven off Earth. He hasn't been having any notable military successes or failures lately, he doesn't have any unusual tech, nothing interesting at all.”

”Um. I guess it really shouldn't be a surprise at this point given how many Gou'Ald seem to show back up after we thought we killed them... but Tanith is back.

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit, Atogaholic. You are Tanith, a Gou'Ald who feigned conversion to the Tok'ra in order to infiltrate them until you were exposed. You narrowly escaped death at the former Tok'ra main base after SG-1 caused the star it was orbiting to go nova. You've since reentered service under Apophis, and been invited to this summit in order to discuss what you know about the Tok'ra.

“Morrigan's another System Lord you're probably not familiar with.

Well, apparently we didn't actually kill him. Tok'ra intelligence reports that he showed back up again a couple of months ago and managed to regain power over most of his old territory.

”Jack, this one may sting a bit.

Remember when the Tollans tried Klorel and removed him from Skaara and sent the symbiote to the Tok'ra to deal with? Apparently a Gou'Ald spy intercepted him before the Tok'ra could execute him, and he's taken a new host. The Tok'ra didn't know about this until a few days ago, and aren't really sure why he's been invited to the summit – a personal favor to Apophis, perhaps?

“This one needs a little background.

Thousands of years ago, there was a System Lord named Anubis. He was exiled from the System Lords for crimes unspeakable even by a Gou'Ald, possibly even worse than what Sokar did.

Now, recently, a new threat has appeared on the outer rim of Gou'Ald space. And the Tok'ra think it might be Anubis. In particular, there's been some reports of attacks where this new threat exterminated all the survivors, which is one of the things that originally got Anubis kicked out of the System Lords.

Also, there's some rumors that whoever this new threat is will be sending a representative to the summit. If that threat is actually Anubis, I'd be careful – there's some writings from ancient sites here on Earth and some old Tok'ra records that suggest that Anubis would like nothing more than to wipe out every living thing in the galaxy.”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit, Iso. You are Anubis, a former System Lord and one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy. You managed to fool the Ancient Oma Desala into helping you ascend, and while you were kicked out by the Others you were left with a half-corporeal form and much of the Ancients' knowledge. In theory, you've come to this summit to ask for reinstatement to the System Lords. In fact, you would like nothing better than to wipe out every other System Lord, take over Dakara, and use the superweapon there to end all life in the galaxy and reseed it with life that worships only you. Getting to wipe out the most dangerous Tau'ri heroes at the same time is just the icing on the cake.

I don't really want to bring up the next System Lord who might attend at all, but I have to so. Hathor might be back. You probably remember her, and you probably all remembered that we agreed not to talk about that one event, so I'm not going to say much on the subject. Tok'ra reports suggest that she somehow managed to survive Jack pushing her into a cryogenic pit; she must have been thawed out and tried yet another return to power. She doesn't actually have enough power right now to warrant being a full System Lord, but they've agreed to discuss reinstatement anyways; I think we can all guess how that came about.

We all know how good Hathor is at manipulating people and getting them to do what she wants; I'd rather just stay away, personally.”

We were originally planning to use it so you could talk with Sel'mak while he remained on a Tel'tak away from the summit, but he had to abandon the planned rendezvous at the last minute so I'm going to send it with you and let you figure out how to do with it. If you can find Sel'mak and get it to him, great; otherwise, you can use it to allow instant communication with another SG-1 member or give one or both ends to a Gou'Ald to look helpful. I'm counting on you to figure out who to give it to and get it there quietly and safely. Can you do that?”

”This System Lord is Kali. Yes, Jack, she's basically the same Kali that shows up in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom – they drew that from actual Hindu mythology, which in turn draws from when the Gou'Ald ruled Earth. Actually, Indiana Jones might be more accurate, since the System Lords are evil bloodthirsty maniacs.

… Really, that's not a bad way to sum up Kali, because she's pretty unremarkable compared to other System Lords. I don't know if her First Prime rips out peoples' hearts, though. Kali does respect her First Prime more than most Gou'Ald, though. The Tok'ra think she might even bring a communications device to talk with him during the summit.”

“Yes sir! I've even made it so that anyone who uses them won't even realize they won't work. The zats fire a harmless light effect, the personal shield can be bypassed by fast objects as well as slow ones, and the healing devices-”

“I know, Major. We want you to take a few of those devices with you to the summit. Don't worry about the zats, the Tok'ra sent us a device to help get the modified zats past any weapons scanners. Once you're there, we'll need you to distribute those devices to unsuspecting System Lords who may have left their own at home. In order to help you, I am provisionally assigning you a mimic device set to look like the Gou'Ald Nerus. He's unusually good at tech for a Gou'Ald, and we managed to capture him a few weeks ago with the right bait.”

“What kind of bait, sir?”

He's also probably the fattest, for the same reason – he's a huge glutton but not terribly interested in power, so he usually signs on with a more powerful Gou'Ald in exchange for good food. That works to the benefit of both Gou'Ald, since he's a very capable scientist when he's not eating. Right now he's working with Ba'al, and the Tok'ra think Ba'al asked him to bring a few special items to the summit just in case.”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit Mafia, Nachomamma8! You are Nerus, a Gou'Ald scientist currently affiliated with Ba'al. You're not really interested in System Lord politics but are interested in food, and System Lord meetings have the best, so Ba'al invites you to meetings in exchange for certain special services. This time, that service was bringing along a few special items (including a couple of contraband zat'nik'tel), which might be more useful than you expected with SG-1 showing up! But you've lost contact with Ba'al in the confusion and are a bit of a coward... can you get your items to people who will make good use of them?

You are a Town Inventor. You have the following special abilites:

Activated Abilities:
Ingenuity (limited-shot) – Each night, you may target a player and choose one of the following abilities: Personal Shield (1-shot self-protect), Personal Shield (1-shot self-protect), Healing Device (1-shot doctor), Healing Device (1-shot doctor), Zat'nik'tel (1-shot roleblock), or Zat'nik'tel (1-shot roleblock). That player will receive the chosen ability at the start of the next game day.

You win when all threats to the town are dead.

”Doctor Jackson, usually we'd ask you to handle all the talking with the Gou'Ald, but the way we're smuggling you into the summit means we'll need all of you to do some talking and the modified Reetou venom should help with that anyways. You'll probably still need to help with some of the fine points, and if any written Gou'Ald needs translating we're counting on you. Other than that, just try to blend in.

Now, we were originally going to assign the Apophis mimic device to Teal'c, and you can still give it to him at the summit if you think he'd do better in it, but Colonel O'Neill convinced me to give the Apophis device to you instead and let you swap it off later if needed.”“Give the Apophis device to me? Why, General?”

“Uh, if I can interrupt? See, Daniel, I want to give the Apophis device to you because he keeps escaping all sorts of sticky ends, just like you. If worst comes to worst, I'm counting on you to survive somehow and bail the rest of us out.”

“Uh... thanks Jack. I'll... keep that in mind?”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit, NotVoxxicus. You are Daniel Jackson, archaeologist, polyglot, and occasional anthopologist. You served as translator for the original mission to Abydos seven years ago, then joined SG-1 when it was formed two years later – originally in order to recover or avenge your lost wife Sha're (taken as a host by the Gou'Ald), but now more because it's the right thing to do. You usually handle the talking duties for SG-1, but the current mission requires that everyone do some talking so you're not as useful as usual. You do, however, have a remarkable penchant for surviving your own death. Hopefully that won't come in handy...

You are a Mafia Loud Bulletproof. You have the following special abilities:

Factional Abilities:
SG-1 – You are a member of the Mafia, along with Sir Chris (Colonel Jack O'Neill, Mafia 1-Shot Neighborizer), Nachomamma8 (Major Samantha Carter, Mafia False Inventor), and tomsloger (Teal'c, Mafia Limited-Shot Area Roleblocker). You may communicate with your fellow Mafiosos outside the thread at night using this QuickTopic. Each night, the Mafia may send one of their members to kill target player; this kill will fail if it targets the Mafia Traitor (see below). (Mafia members may use an activated ability and perform the Mafia kill on the same night.)
Tok'ra Ally – You know that Sel'mak is in the game and is affiliated with the Mafia (in other words, he is a Mafia Traitor). He knows who you are, but cannot communicate with you privately or perform the Mafia kill,. He counts towards the Mafia win condition, but will automatically commit suicide if he is the last Mafia-aligned player alive. (You do NOT know Sel'mak's identity.)
Mafia Safeclaim – You know that the Gou'Ald Apophis is not in the game and is safe for you to claim.

Passive Abilities:
Inside Information – You know that there is at least one role in the game that can revive dead players.
Back From the Dead – Killing abilities that target you will fail to resolve. If a kill is prevented in this way, your survival will be publicly announced using the format “NotVoxxicus survived an attempt on his life”.

You win when at least half of all living players are are aligned with the Mafia, or nothing can prevent the same.

Please confirm via return PM.

”You know, I'd like to say the next Gou'Ald who might be attending the summit is a surprise, but... he really isn't.”

“Ooh, let me guess. Apophis came back. Again.”

“Called it in one, Jack! Tok'ra intelligence says he's shown back up, built a new empire, and he's going to ask to be inducted back into the System Lords. Do I really need to say anything else, General Hammond? We've been fighting him for five years, Teal'c served under him for decades before that, we've all been over this stuff half a dozen times before.”

“No, that's fine, Doctor Jackson.”

“Ah, for cryin' out loud. What will it take to finally kill this guy? Trapping him on a Replicator-infested starship crashing into a planet wasn't enough, what will be?”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit Mafia, NotVoxxicus! You are Apophis, the System Lord who was chosen as Supreme System Lord when Ra died. You have survived certain death multiple times and have returned to power after losing your empire multiple times. You came to this summit to finish the process of being reinstated to the System Lords yet again... but SG-1 showed up as well. They're almost as adept at surviving as you are; can you finish them off once and for all?

You are a Town Loud Bulletproof. You have the following special abilities:

Passive Abilities:
Back From The Dead – Killing abilities that target you will fail to resolve. If a kill is prevented in this way, your survival will be publicly announced using the format “NotVoxxicus survived an attempt on his life”.

”Teal'c.”

“Yes, General Hammond?”

“You've got more experience with Gou'Ald meetings than any of us, so we'll need you to help us blend in.”

“Indeed.”

“Now, Tok'ra intelligence indicates that the summit is doing pretty thorough screening for staff weapons, and possibly for zats as well. You'll probably want to take an Earth weapon instead – P90s are still effective. However, we've managed to get our hands on a couple of Gou'Ald stun grenades and we think we can get them in. You've got more experience using them than the rest of the team, so I was going to give them to you until you all need them.”

“Indeed.”

“Uh, Teal'c?”

“Yes, Colonel O'Neill?”

“Are you still angry at me for joking about your tendency to say “indeed” a couple of days ago?”

“Indeed.”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit, tomsloger. You are Teal'c, the former First Prime of Apophis who rebelled against the System Lords and joined SG-1. Your knowledge of Gou'Ald culture, tactics, and technology and your mastery of combat makes you an invaluable asset to Stargate Command, but for this mission your most important role might be placing the Gou'Ald stun grenades you brought with you. You've got two right now, and are busy repairing a third – you're not sure how long that will take, but it should be done before too long.

You are a Mafia Limited-Shot Area Roleblocker. You have the following special abilities:

Factional Abilities:
SG-1 – You are a member of the Mafia, along with Sir Chris (Colonel Jack O'Neill, Mafia 1-Shot Neighborizer), Nachomamma8 (Major Samantha Carter, Mafia False Inventor), and NotVoxxicus (Daniel Jackson, Mafia Loud Bulletproof). You may communicate with your fellow Mafiosos outside the thread at night using this QuickTopic. Each night, the Mafia may send one of their members to kill target player; this kill will fail if it targets the Mafia Traitor (see below). (Mafia members may use an activated ability and perform the Mafia kill on the same night.)
Tok'ra Ally – You know that Sel'mak is in the game and is affiliated with the Mafia (in other words, he is a Mafia Traitor). He knows who you are, but cannot communicate with you privately or perform the Mafia kill,. He counts towards the Mafia win condition, but will automatically commit suicide if he is the last Mafia-aligned player alive. (You do NOT know Sel'mak's identity.)
Mafia Safeclaim – You know that the Gou'Ald Heru'ur is not in the game and is safe for you to claim.

Passive Abilities:
Spare Grenade – The first time another member of SG-1 dies, you gain an additional use of your Stun Grenade ability.

Activated Abilities:
Stun Grenade (2-shot) – Twice during the game, you may target another player. You will roleblock that player and each other player that targets that player.

You win when at least half of all living players are are aligned with the Mafia, or nothing can prevent the same.

Please confirm via return PM.

”Here's yet another one for the 'we thought we killed this guy but apparently he's back' list: Heru'ur. You might remember him – one of the most powerful Gou'Ald, favored son of Ra back in the day and used the same distinctive helmet style for his Jaffa. We interfered with some of his negotiations a couple of years ago and we thought Apophis killed him in the aftermath. But he's shown up again, built himself a new empire and is petitioning for reentry into the System Lords. He's one of the most martial Gou'Ald, and has been known to bring stun grenades to System Lord meetings in the past. Keep an eye out for that.”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit Mafia, tomsloger! You are Heru'ur, a formerly mighty System Lord until your flagship was shot out from under you by Apophis. However, you managed to survive and have rebuilt your power, to the extent that the System Lords are considering admitting you to their ranks once again. After that last meeting with Apophis, you certainly weren't going to come to this summit without something to back you up – specifically, a few stun grenades. You've got two ready to go, and a third which you need to finish rebuilding – they should come in handy for stopping SG-1.

You are a Town Limited-Shot Area Roleblocker. You have the following special abilities:

Passive Abilities:
Spare Grenade – When half of the town is dead at the beginning of a game day for the first time, you gain an additional use of your Stun Grenade ability.

Activated Abilities:
Stun Grenade (2-shot) – Twice during the game, you may target another player. You will roleblock that player and each other player that targets that player.

You win when all threats to the town are dead.

”Team, your contact at the summit is supposed to be Sel'mak. Unfortunately, you won't be able to meet up with him at the rendezvous point. We got a message from him a couple of days ago saying that the original plan was compromised; he will make it to the summit, and he will be able to help you, but not directly.”

“How do we find him.”

“You don't, not directly. We weren't able to get the radio to him, that was intercepted by a Gou'Ald agent. The Tok'ra were, however, able to get him the mimic device we got ready for him, so he won't be completely defenseless – and as a Tok'ra he has a genetically Gou'Ald, so even if he's scanned by a medical scanners he'll show up as a normal Gou'Ald.

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit, Jobie! You are Sel'mak, a member of the Tok'ra resistance faction within the Gou'Ald. Your host, Jacob Carter, was originally from Earth (and the father of SG-1 member Samantha Carter); as you are also among the oldest and wisest of Tok'ra, you were the natural choice. However, a Gou'Ald agent has prevented you from meeting up with SG-1 before the summit. You've had to sneak in yourself, and while you'll do everything you can to assist SG-1 you won't be able to contact them directly.

You are an Investigation-Immune Mafia Traitor. You have the following special abilities:

Factional Abilities:
Tau'ri Alliance – You are aligned with the Mafia, which consists of Sir Chris (Colonel Jack O'Neill, Mafia 1-Shot Neighborizer), Nachomamma8 (Major Samantha Carter, Mafia False Inventor), NotVoxxicus (Daniel Jackson, Mafia Loud Bulletproof), and tomsloger (Teal'c, Mafia Limited-Shot Area Roleblocker). You count towards the Mafia win condition, but cannot communicate with them outside the thread and cannot perform the Mafia nightkill. If all four members of the Mafia are dead and you are alive, you will automatically leave the game (commit suicide).
Mafia Traitor Safeclaim – You know that the Gou'Ald Zipacna is not in the game and is safe for you to claim.

Passive Abilities:
Symbiote – Alignment investigations will return results as if you were Town-aligned.

You win when at least half of all living players are are aligned with the Mafia, or nothing can prevent the same.

Please confirm via return PM.

”First, let's talk about Zipacna. He's remembered here on Earth as part of the Mayan pantheorn. Zipacna's a fairly minor Gou'Ald, actually. He's not even a full System Lord, and the Tok'ra aren't really sure why he's coming to the meeting. Their best guess is that he might be serving as a representative for a more powerful Gou'Ald, especially if Anubis or Sokar is behind the recent attacks on weaker Gou'Ald. Outside of that... he's got a reputation among the Gou'Ald for dressing poorly? I've got nothing.”

Welcome to Stargate SG-1: The System Lord Summit, Jobie! You are Zipacna, a minor Gou'Ald attending the summit. You're not a full System Lord, but were invited to the summit anyways because you had some information about the unknown threat that's been attacking Gou'Ald worlds recently. However, that information will have to wait until the threat from SG-1 is dealt with...

You are Vanilla Town. You have no special abilities.

You win when all threats to the town are dead.
