Ever wondered what's happening to us when a harmful germ makes its way into our body? The immune system (innate immunity and adaptive immunity) kicks in, finds the invader and defeats it so that we get to keep on with our lives. This time, a number of new, foreign variant of pathogens (including virus, bacteria, fungi etc.) have targeted a young man called Billy. Could Billy's immune system clear out the pathogens before it's too late? Sign up to salvage/destroy his immune system.

Standard Rules apply.
- No role claiming allowed! - This is a nightless setup, just a reminder! Days will last for 15 hours, unless a hammer is reached on day 1 or someone was infected day 1 onwards. - Bold or capitalise to VOTE: CHOCO or INFECT: CHOCO 1. Rosey - Infected Day 3, Guard (T cells) 2. Lala - Endgamed, The King (Billy's Brain) 3. Alleen - Infected Day 2, Guard (B cells) 4. Twidz - whacked Day 1, Guard (Neutrophils) 5. Zinnia - Infected Day 4, Guard (Macrophage) 6. Legend - Won, The Assassin (Herpes simplex virus-1) "Contagion in the Palace" Link: wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Contagion_in_the_Palace- Nightless
- Guards (immune cells) all know who the King (Billy's brain) is.
- Role and alignment of players will be immediately revealed the instant they were infected.
- Guards win when the King (Billy's brain) survives.
- The Assassin (invading pathogen) wins when the King (Billy's brain) is dead, regardless of whether the assassin is alive or dead.
1 King (Billy's brain) 4 Guards (various immune cells) 1 Assassin (invading pathogen) 4 Guards: Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells found in our body. They form an integral part of the human innate immunity subsystem. When there is an infection, you can always count on neutrophils to be one of the first cells to arrive at the site of pathogen invasion. Neutrophils are also important for their ability to engulf invaders and subsequently destroy them by releasing enzymes contained within its tiny granules. Macrophages (Greek: “Big eaters”) are powerful cells that would engulf suspicious particles of any kind. When they do so, they break up the invaders’ “corpses” into tiny fragments and present them on their cell surfaces that attract and subsequently activate other immunes cells. They could be found in virtually all tissues inside the body where they continuously patrol for potential harmful pathogens. B cells, or B lymphocytes, are responsible for secreting antibodies, which plays a particular important role in human’s adaptive immune response. Antibodies secreted by B-cells act as “markers”. When antibodies bind to the surface of an antigen, it highlights the invading species for removal which then sends a downstream signal to recruit and attract more immunes cells to facilitate whack. T cells, or T lymphocytes, are powerful cells that have 2 fundamental subtypes: T killer cells are specialised and capable of distinguishing normal cells and “ill” cells; they are responsible for killing cells infested with virus or other invaders so to prevent more cells from being infected; while T helper cells are responsible for sending alarming messages and relay instructions to other immune cells as well as controlling the overall immune response.

Renee is back? And someone is hosting? Wow. Man, I wish I could play. But my mom is coming to visit this weekend and I just don't think I'm quite ready to play. Recovery is still a slow process I'm afraid
