Here's some setting information. I'll put the signup list in the next post so my phone will be more able to edit it easily.
Residents of New Human Village have established a Wilderness Foundation to manage a swath of nearby forested land. Certain names have been written into the charter as specifically named beneficiaries.
Chartered beneficiaries have the responsibility of electing trustees to the board, voting and campaigning for them as necessary. It is rumored that there are some Youkai among you. Further, these Youkai are believed to have two abilities: to secretly communicate amongst themselves, and to use magic to duplicate someone's name on the charter, in order to bypass the selection process for installing a trustee onto the board. Some say up to one out of every three people on the list may be a Youkai!
A banquet has been scheduled to inaugurate the Foundation, and ALL residents of the village have been invited. As part of their planning for the banquet, trustees of the Wilderness Foundation will select a non-trustee as keynote speaker from among the chartered beneficiaries. This speech will establish the tone and perception of the entire Foundation, and perhaps even shape its policy for the next decade.
