It's the end of the world as we know it.
_Over the course of the last several months, munitions and other assets have been disappearing from global stockpiles. Due to poor communication between the major nuclear powers, each nation accused the others. When the true scope of the problem had been discovered, it was already too late. Detonators were stolen from the Russian Union; plutonium and uranium were taken from China; computer components were taken from the US. All together, it looked like someone was attempting to build a nuclear arsenal.
Last night, it was confirmed. A terrorist organization, calling themselves the Andromeda Society, are responsible for the thefts. Their stated goal is to end humanity's dependence on technology by destroying as much of that technology as possible. In the past, they have been responsible for terrorist bombings, a few major hacks of intelligence networks, and some major catastrophes. Most recently, they managed to destroy Three Gorges Dam in China, Saratov Dam in Russia, Hoover Dam in the US, and the High Aswan dam in Egypt in the most devastating terrorist act in the history of the world.
This is a dangerous group, and we know they mean business. The damage that they could do with the weapons that they have stolen in unimaginable. Fortunately, they did not manage to get launch codes before the thefts were noticed. That means that we have some time. Don't get me wrong -- their abilities to crack digital security are second to none, and they figure it out eventually, but we do have some time.
The goal of this special council is to weed out the terrorist threat, and stop the Andromeda Society before they can employ their nuclear arsenal. You have been sent by your governments because you are top experts from your intelligence agencies and military and diplomatic leadership. Your goal is to root out the terrorist agents among you, and stop them before it is too late._

THE RULES:
The game will work much as before. The special council will meet, and select an agent for arrest. The arrested agent will be taken to the appropriate authorities, interrogated, and, in all likelihood, executed for treason. After the security council has met and dispatched with one of their number, everyone will adjourn to their separate nations of residence. During the break, the terrorist agents from the special council will have the chance to act. Pretty standard.
Each round will last as long as I say it lasts. Probably somewhere between 24 and 48 hours. If the thread seems dead, or everyone has voted, I may end a round early (though I will give some warning). If things are happening, I might extend the deadline. At the beginning of each round, I will provide an approximate time end time.
Votes must be in bold.
I will not be revealing roles at death. There are several special roles, and each one knows what they can do. I am not going to tell the rest of you what they can do. I will, however, tell you that there are only two terrorist agents among you.
Finally, each of you represents a nation. This will have some bearing on the game, though I leave it to you to figure it out. Your national alignments are as follows:
United Kingdom: Eugene Chin
United States of America: 1Eevee1, GutlessWonder, and mrxak
Russian Federation: Cerberus, kickme, nfreader
People's Republic of China: darth_vader, Mackilroy, rebelswin_85
Everyone should be getting a PM. You may begin voting once you have received your PM, and replied to me.
Good luck!
