Liggy is Human

I'm going to clear up some language that's been thrown around throughout the game:

Negation: Negates the effect of a targeted deal. Said deal can still proceed, occur, etc if it is designed to do so.

Nullification: Ends the ability to use a power. This deals with powers only, not deals.

Cancellation: Cancels a targeted deal. Does not return the game to a prior state and any payments that have already been made will remain, if such is the case.

11 Players:
Beelzebub - Master Wolf - Can Spy on one player's deal each phase, chosen at random. He will be given the Deal ID and the written agreement.
Mammon - Wolf - Debt collector. Can kill any player in the game at any time. Useable only once. His identity will be revealed when he does so.
Belphegor - Wolf
Gabriel - Seer (blue)
Raphael - Guardian (silver)
Micheal - Archangel (gold) - Can cancel one player's deal each phase, chosen at random. Doesn't restore the game to any prior state, just cancels the contract and it's prior/associated deal chain, if one exists.

You thought it was over, didn't you?

I'm here to make another deal with you, but this time the powers that be forced me to change the rules a bit. This time he's sending his own Angels to aid your pathetic existence. However, I am sending my own minions to make sure it is a fair game.

Each player can make a deal with the devil for any reason at any time. You can make a deal for whatever you wish, and I will tell you what it will cost you. I can deny any deal I wish, but I will be kind and tell you why, if it doesn't violate the natural laws of the universe or another contract.
Be creative in your deals, you can get anything your heart desires. There are a few ground rules, however; a few deals that the powers that be will not permit me to make:

 - You cannot kill anybody; no insta-lynchings or additional wolfings.
 - You cannot violate the laws of time and space, no phase extensions or reductions.
 - You cannot resurrect anybody; I'm not in the saving business, death is permanent.

I have a few ground rules of my own that you should understand before making a deal. I may not be holy, but I never said I wasn't fair:
 
 - All deals revolve around fair trade; something must give for you to get.
 - I get to decide what is given up for you to get what you want, and you will be told the cost, but not who will pay it or how.
 - Once the deal is struck, it is final; you cannot back out of it for any reason.
 - You cannot ask for information regarding deals with other players.
 - You cannot make a deal to effect, affect, alter, or otherwise cancel another players' natural power. These are the abilities they start out with.

Making a Deal:
If you want to make a deal, all you have to do is call me via PM:

"I, [insert name], wish for [the deal you wish to strike] to be executed in the following manner:
List the details."

I will reply:
"I, Mephistopheles, agree to grant [name] the [deal you wish to make] in the following manner:
Details,
 At the cost of [to be determined]."

All you have to do then is reply with the phrase "I agree to this contract" and give your signature, or state that the deal is off. Once the deal is struck it will be given an identification number, randomly generated, and all parties will refer to it as such from that point on.

I advise you to be as clear and detailed as possible, otherwise you will give me the right to execute the deal in any manner I see fitting. You cannot strike the same deal twice, if you back out from an earlier deal you cannot ask me about it later.

Once more to be perfectly clear:
You cannot discuss any aspect of these deals with anybody. You cannot tell anybody that you've struck a deal, the nature of a deal, or question other players about deals they might've had.

All deals with me are confidential; you will not be allowed to discuss your deal or its terms to any other player. Doing so is a breach in contract and I have every right to collect your debt. "What is your debt?" you may ask. In order to play this game, you will agree to sign over your soul to me until this game is completed. You have no obligation to sign this contract, and there will be no penalty against you if don't. All you have to do is sign on the dotted line.

Shall we have this dance again,

The Boy Who Cried Wolf has been the unfortunate victim of Freak Soul Loss (FSL), or as I like to call it: F****** Sucks, Loser.
It is now Day 1, Day 1 ends Aug 10th, 1:00 AM CST

My Offices are now OPEN.
Please restrict your deals to one PM per deal. Do not group several deals together in one PM, I will ignore these. This is purely for organizational purposes.

I would also like to take this moment to make clear:
Please activate any and all powers (whether natural or aquired) through their own unique PMs. You can later repost on those PMs for further ease of use.

Right now.

[Roles PMs have been sent out.]

Role PMs will be out shortly.

I will end all of you and tear down TWG itself across the universe if all of you don't stop this nonsense right now.

I'm f***** Mephistopheles. I can do that.

Is the law of conservation of mass (or roles in this case...) in play? (mentioned briefly, but not fully)

Yes, you cannot do anything to alter the powers associated with specific roles. Evrything else is up for grabs.

Also, if no more players sign up today, the game will begin 12:00AM CST tonight. (11 hours from now.)

And that's the beauty of it. Your lack of control comes from the fact that everybody has total control.

Most people fear what they can't control. This game is all about lack of control.

We can start the game right now if we needed to. I just wanted a full roster. If needed I'll cut Leviathan and change Belphegor to a regular wolf. I'll then scale back humans as needed.

I can imagine you didn't have the best time last time you played.

1) This is a mechanic that was in wide use and had a generally agreed definition. One payer needed clarification on a term people were using. Fufilling a deal is not the same as divulging information.

2) Because it never confirmed or denied anything. A player just stated the prior seering were meaningless. He gave no reason as to why and as such didn't breach the contract. Blanket statements are fine, details are not.

3) There were no Deal Made on Night 1. Your point is invalid.

4) There's a difference between being coy and making an assumption. I am the one to judge the difference. Not you.

5) It was a combination of FSM approaching you about something that happened to him, and you admiting that you were the one who did it. If one of you, or both, had just kept silent it would've been fine.

6) Some people have a play style that leaves a large fingerprint, and some of the more veteran players can logically work out "[X] happened, and [Player Y] is the kind of person to make a deal like that." That is far different from a player acknowledging that they made such a deal.

You can assume if deals are made, and what they may consist of. The moment anything is confirmed or denied by any relevant parties is when there is a breach in contract.

[Clarification]

You cannot ask for specific players to die. However, death is a rather common price.

Correct.

It always depends on the current state of the game. All things equal, the deal you presented would be the same because you are asking me for the same information in the latter as the former. However, the status quo is constantly changing. So at some point, those deals could be asking for very different things. But it's all up to me, and I love being cryptic.

One deal per PM. However, if you flood my inbox I will overlook some deals due to volume.

Clarification
Beelzebub will be sent the Deal PM as was signed by both parties. He will not be privy to any clarification made before or since by either party, nor will he be told what the deal achieved, if anything. He will also not be told whether or not the deal is still in effect, nulled, fufilled, pending, or any other state of fufillment. He doesn't even get a time stamp of signing.  Essentially he will be told "X wants Y to be carried out thusly".

Beyond this, no other player with have access to information of deals other than their own. Exceptions will be monitored by me and I will be the judge of any breaks in contract.
