Bet Your Life - The Riemann Hypothesis

From today's featured article:
A mafia is a type of criminal organization whose central activity is the arbitration of disputes between criminals and the organization and enforcement of illicit agreements through the use of violence. Mafias often engage in secondary activities such as gambling, loan sharking, drug-trafficking, prostitution, and fraud.
This pending circus act was, perhaps too quickly, approved by Duskfall98

Hey! Smogon Mafia's back! What better way to celebrate than with a game hosted by one of Smogon's top 405,436 (and counting) users: me!

Everybody knows that mafia is about reliable sources of information, so to celebrate that I've decided to host a game based on that (and definitely didn't choose to do it after Clouds made a public post last game about a wikipedia article).

Every game needs rules so here are some rules (copy pasted from Smogon Rewind):
Game Rules

General Rules/Game Etiquette
  1. Obey all site-wide rules.
  2. Communication outside the thread is not allowed.
  3. Copypasting Wikipedia never ends well. You may not quote private communication of any kind! This includes moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
Activity/Prods/Replacements
  1. Prods of missing players will be issued after 24 hours of no activity.
  2. A prodded player has 24 hours to respond to the prod, after which time a replacement search will begin. The prodded player may re-enter the game so long as no replacement has been found.
  3. A player who has been prodded 2 times is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
  4. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than 24 hours please PM. Let me, the host, know.
  5. I reserve the right to force replace players at my own discretion.
  6. If you have an active ability, please submit your action, even if you are idling.
Deadlines
  1. Each Day Phase will last 48 hours, starting at 12am GMT.
  2. Each Night Phase will last 24 hours (or longer if you hammer earlier). I will stop accepting actions at 10pm GMT then open the thread by 12am GMT.
  3. Extensions are given only in extreme circumstances.
Player Actions/Voting/Player Death
  1. A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person (via voting) for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down). If no one has a simple majority of votes at deadline, the person with the most votes at the time will be voted out of the game.
  2. If there's a tie, the person who received the total number of votes first will be voted out of the game.
  3. Votes must be bolded to be counted.
  4. Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
  5. You may Vote: None of the above. If this gets a majority, then nobody will be voted out of the game.
  6. Votes made using nicknames or abbreviations will be counted at my discretion. Fake vote gambits should be executed at your own peril. If I think its a vote, then its a vote.
  7. Votes must be clear, placed on their own line separate from any paragraphs.
Miscellaneous
  1. Don't impersonate me. No invisible/small/encrypted text is allowed, nor may you do anything to get around the NOC part of this game.
  2. While Wikipedia may be edited by all, you may not edit any of your posts on this thread.
  3. Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject to my discretion and will be handled as I see fit on a case-by-case basis.

TO SIGN UP, POST LITERALLY ANYTHING IN THIS THREAD AND SEND ME A PM WITH A LINK TO A WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE. THIS WILL BE YOUR ROLE FLAVOUR. YOU MAY NOT COORDINATE THE SENDING OF ROLES WITH ANY OTHER PLAYERS.
I will accept the first 13 players to join and up to a maximum of 17 players.
I'll leave the signups open for as long as possible. Once they do close, expect a small gap between the closure of the signups and the beginning of the game as I improvise a setup given the articles I have.
Here are some suggestions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unusual_articles
Don't pick an article that's stupidly offensive. I have the right to reject an article.
 
ahh yes, more of that "Simple Math" ha ha!! you can tell it's true by the way the blue graph does the swoop ™
