Roles:

Spoiler: Third Party (click to show/hide)

--Maximum Spin:

Quantum Macroshaper (Serial Killer)
(Auto) String Theory: Everything is connected, and only you can see it. Each Night, you may choose a player. Actions targeting you that Night are redirected to them, and vice versa. However, if a kill action is redirected via this ability, the player it would kill is protected. You also gain a (Temporary 1, Free) copy of any action redirected.
(Night) Spooky Action [target1][target2]: A butterfly flaps its wings, and a kingdom falls. Any action used on one of your targets is copied to your other target. You also gain a (Temporary 1, Free) copy of any action copied.
(3-Shot, Superfree, Night) Demon Box [action]: You perpetually unobserve an unstable object. Choose a copied action you possess, and remove any number of modifiers of your choice from it.
(1-Shot, Night) Redshift Room []: Time is a form of light, and what is said to be present is actually past. This Night, you may use every action you have previously lost, once each. Additionally, you cannot be roleblocked, redirected, or have your abilities Disabled, this Night.

(Reference, Modifier) Superfree: More free than Free. This action may be used any number of times per valid phase without counting towards your actions-per-phase limit.
(Reference, Modifier) Temporary X: This ability is destroyed after X Cycles have passed since its creation.

--Lenglon:

Shy Hacker Kid (Mafia-Ally)
(Auto) Mafia Fan Club: You run the Mafia Fan Club! Population... one. When you would be Mafiakilled, your alignment changes to Mafia, and the kill fails. Also, your role changes to “Certified Radical Hacker”.
(Night) White Hat [target]: You have no idea what you’re doing! You hack your target’s computer and gather information. You learn whether your target is part of a private chat, as well as who they visited this Night.
(Night) Black Hat [target]: This feels pretty iffy! You hack your target’s computer and deploy malware. Any actions that your target uses this Night are Disabled at the end of the Night, until the end of the next Night. You also learn the names of the Disabled actions.

(Reference, Role) Certified Radical Hacker:
(1-Shot, Mafiakill, Night) Mafia Fan Club [target]: You recruit for the Mafia Fan Club. If your target is Town, their alignment changes to be an Ally of your own alignment.
(Night) White Hat [target]: You know exactly what you’re doing. You learn your target’s alignment, who they visited this Night, and who they intended to visit this Night.
(Night) Black Hat [target]: You’ll do anything to accomplish your goals. Any actions that your target attempts to use this Night are immediately Disabled until the end of the next Night. You also learn the names and descriptions of those actions.

Spoiler: Mafia (click to show/hide)

--Egan_BW:

Reaoh (Mafia)
(Auto) Corrupted Domain: Something’s gone terribly wrong. You alignment inspect as Town. Players targeted by Tainted Power alignment inspect as your choice of Town, Mafia, Pirate, or Hunter during that Night.
(Night) Tainted Power [target][choice(delayed)]: The freedom you grant is inverted. Your target may make an additional action the next Night. On that Night, you may choose a player - the primary target of their actions is redirected to your choice.
(Mafiakill, Night) Broken DOOR [target]: You shatter the path to your Progenitor. Every player using an investigative action on you or your target is roleblocked, and you kill your target.

--Crystalizedmire:

Carpenter Ant (Mafia)
(Auto) Divided Colony: As a multitude of carpenter ants, you aren’t limited by conventional conceptions of action and location. You may take one additional action per phase.
(Auto / Night) Infestation [target]: You burrow into the structure of your target’s residence. A random valid non-Infested action they possess becomes Infested, if possible. Whenever an Infested action is used, you learn the full details of that action.
(Mafiakill, Night) Hostile Takeover [target]: Your particular colony is a bit more industrious than normal ants tend to be. If every non-Innate action your target possesses is Infested, you kill them, then gain non-Infested copies of every Infested action they possessed.

(Reference, Modifier) Infested: Whenever this action is used, another non-Infested, non-Innate action you possess becomes Infested if possible.

--sofanthiel:

Autonomous Cosmonaut (Mafia)
(Innate, Auto) Eternal Mission: Time flickers backwards whenever your timeline would cease. When you are killed, you revive. When your role or abilities change due to external factors, they return to their previous state. When you gain a Status, you lose it. When you gain or lose votes, your votes reset to their previous count. This ability may trigger any number of times in a given phase, but after the phase is over, it goes on cooldown for one Cycle.
(Night) Temporal Guardian [target]: Your target is designated as an asset worth protecting. They gain the benefits of Eternal Mission for this Night. If it triggers for them, it will not go on cooldown.
(Night) Echo Scanning []: Your future self echoes the future back to you. Choose an action category: Investigative, Interference, Lethal, or Esoteric. You learn how many players’ initial action submissions contained actions of that category, this Night. (An action may belong to multiple categories.)
(1-Shot, Night) Event Horizon [target]: You drag your target beyond the beginning of time. They are banished - their presence is removed from the game. If you later die and do not immediately revive, your target is returned to the game.

--BlackHeartKabal:

Ghost Racer (Mafia)
(Auto) A Lonely Road: What accompanies you cannot be seen. If you are visited during the Night by a living player, any Night actions you attempt fail, and the visiting player gains Marked By Death. You will learn that this Auto was the cause of this failure.
(Night) Deadlands Drifting [target]: You crash into your target’s soul and jostle it, issuing a challenge. They are roleblocked, and gain Marked By Death.
(1-Shot, Mafiakill, Night) Final Circuit []: You begin the Final Circuit, inviting every player Marked By Death to join you. You kill every player that has Marked By Death, bypassing protection and kill immunity. Then, you claim your prize - at the end of the next Day, you may replace A Lonely Road with a copy of one non-Innate Auto ability that one of the players you killed had.

(Reference, Status) Marked By Death: The spirit world has left its mark on you.

Spoiler: Town (click to show/hide)

--TricMagic:

Dragon That Turns People Into Morally Dubious SK-Allies (Town)
(Innate, 1-Shot, Auto) Bloody Beast’s Awakening: If you successfully kill players for two Nights consecutively, your nature awakens, and you become a Serial Killer. If this happens, every living Town player with Fallout Fumes becomes a Serial Killer-Ally. Players that are converted this way learn your alignment.
(Auto) Dubious Dragon’s Hide: It’s really hard to tell whether you want everyone dead or not. You alignment inspect as a Serial Killer.
(Night) Noxious Neurotoxin Breath [target1][target2]: You breathe out a wave of brain-rotting, noxious fog. Your targets have their actions delayed until the next Night (they are told their actions failed), and gain Fallout Fumes.
(Night) Feverous Fang Bite [target]: You nibble on your target, gently. Your target’s abilities are all Disabled for the Night. If they have Fallout Fumes, you also kill them.

(Reference, Status) Fallout Fumes: Cough, cough! What is this stuff? You alignment inspect as a Serial Killer-Ally.

--EuchreJack:

Pirate King (Town)
(Innate, Auto) King of the Pirates: The title is pretty self-explanatory - you’re the freest pirate of all seven seas! You alignment inspect as a Pirate, and have a private Piratechat. Before the first Day ends, you must submit the names of three living players other than you. Once the first Day ends, all three of those players are added to your Piratechat, but they also alignment inspect as a Pirate, as long as you are alive.
(Night) King’s Orders [target][choice]: You won’t tolerate any mutiny. If your target does not target your chosen player this Night, you are informed. This is a Free action if used on a member of the Piratechat.
(Night) King’s Protection [target]: You keep safe those precious to you. You protect your target from kills. This is a Free action if used on a member of the Piratechat.
(Item, Auto) King’s Crown: A pristine top hat. When the player with the role ‘Pirate King’ dies, this Item becomes ‘King’s Legacy’.

(Reference, Item, Auto) King’s Legacy: A ragged top hat. You have an additional vote, and you may use King’s Orders as though it was part of your role.
(Reference, Modifier) Item: A player with an Item ability may give it to any player they share a private chat with. This is done during the Day, and resolves at the end of the Day.

--Imp:

Warehouse 13 (Town)
(Innate, Auto) The Bad Guys Win: Why is everyone always after what you’ve got? If you are ever killed by a player with the alignment of Mafia, Pirate, or Serial Killer, all your Item abilities are transferred to them. Additionally, any scum teams that exist gain a (Factional, Info) with the full text of this ability.
(Day) Artifact of the Week []: Describe an item, and cite a historical event, historical figure, folklore, or myth associated with the item. Also, choose ‘stable’ or ‘unstable’. At the end of the Day, you gain an Item ability based around your description. If you chose stable, it will be somewhat useful but not especially powerful, if you chose unstable, it will be more powerful, but have drawbacks or risks to using it.
(Night) Highly Competent Team [target]: Okay, maybe not always, but they do try. If your target has any Item abilities, you steal them. You may optionally also choose up to two Item actions you have and use them on your target.

(Reference, Modifier) Item: A player with an Item ability may give it to any player they share a private chat with. This is done during the Day, and resolves at the end of the Day.

--hector13:

Kill-Immune Randomizer (Town)
(Auto) Court of the Esteemed: The gift and curse you have been given by the Most Esteemed FallacyofUrist. As long as you refer to every player only as ‘Esteemed <exact username>’, and the moderator only as ‘Most Esteemed FallacyofUrist’ during the Day, you are immune to being killed or protected during the following Night. If a player fails to kill or protect you, they gain Esteemed of the Court.
(Night) Courting the Esteemed [target]: You trap your target in an endless, frustrating web of words. Their targets are randomized to random players that do not possess Court of the Esteemed. While catching them in your web, you learn whether or not they possess Esteemed of the Court. If they don’t, they gain it, if they do, they lose it.
(2-Shot, Night) Courtier for the Esteemed [target]: You make overtures as to your target’s allegiances. If your target possesses Esteemed of the Court, they lose it, and gain Court of the Esteemed and Courting the Esteemed. Otherwise, this action’s shot will not be expended.

(Reference, Auto) Esteemed of the Court: You are bound by many maddening unspoken rules. If you do not refer to every player only as ‘Esteemed <exact username>’ and the moderator only as ‘Most Esteemed FallacyofUrist’ during the Day, you cannot use kill or protect actions during the next Night.

--notquitethere:

The Amazing Spider-Man (Town)
(Innate, Auto) Dual Identity: It feels like you’re living two lives at once, sometimes. At the start of the Night, choose whether your role will be Peter Parker or The Amazing Spider-Man. The unchosen role is stored as a Reference. You cannot choose the same role more than two Nights in a row - your friends and family worry for you.
(1-Shot, Auto) Spider-Sense: You’re getting some weird tingles - time to duck! When you would be killed, you survive the kill, and learn the role name of the player that attempted to kill you.
(2-Shot, Item, Night) Spider-Web [target]: You weave your signature sticky web around your target. They are protected from kills, but also roleblocked.
(2-Shot, Item, Night) Spider-Tracer [target]: You attach a small arachnid-bug to your target. You learn which players they visited this Night.

(Night) Gadgeteer []: With great responsibility comes great maintenance work. You restore the shots of all The Amazing Spider-Man’s Item abilities, and un-Disable them.
(Night) Photo-Journalism [target/self]: You snap some pictures, and learn the role names of your target and two random players who visited your target or were visited by your target. (You do not learn who the role names belong to.) If you self-target this action, you gain results according to the previous Night, instead.

(Reference, Modifier) Item: A player with an Item ability may give it to any player they share a private chat with. This is done during the Day, and resolves at the end of the Day.

--The Canadian kitten:

The Cat Came Back (Town)
(Night) Curiosity [target]: Mew mew meow. If your target would alignment inspect as anti-Town, or they use a kill action this Night, or visit you, you are killed.
(1-Shot, Auto) Came Back Wrong: Hisssss - When you are killed, you revive and your role becomes “The Cat Came Back Wrong”.

(Reference, Role) The Cat Came Back Wrong:

(Auto) Infovore: You are a new type of creature, with spindly limbs of words and concepts and a writhing core of information. When a player would learn information about you from an investigative action, they instead learn “Something perceives your perception.” and you learn the information instead. You also gain 1 Growth when this happens.
(Night) Memetic Consumption [target]: You can only grow by consuming other infoforms.  Any investigative results your target would gain this Night are replaced with “Something gnaws on your gnosis.” You learn those investigative results for yourself, and gain 1 Growth per action interfered with by this action.

--Secretdorf:

The Hundred Holes Heavenly Votebox (Town)
(Auto) Dao of Votes: The way to the Heavenly Green is lined with a hundred slots for votes to descend. By meeting certain conditions, you may gain votes permanently. If you ever have more than seven votes, temporary or permanent, your cultivation is unbalanced, and you immediately die.
-Heaven’s Par: If a player is executed and the number of votes on them is seven or under, you gain a vote permanently.
-Karmatic Box: If you make a good-faith effort, and provide an unofficial vote count within a given Day when one is called for, you gain a vote permanently. This may only trigger once per Day.
(Night) Line Driver [target]: You use your club and cleave votes from the unworthy! You steal all your target’s votes for the next Day. If they die during the next Day, the theft is permanent.
(1-Shot, Day) Demonic Vote-Eating Technique []: You reject the Green. You lose all your votes, and can never gain any more. You gain one designation, which is used by naming a player in bold purple. If a player is designated at the end of the Day, after the execution, you and the designated player are both killed.

--webadict:

The Concept of Simplicity (Town)
(Auto) Don’t Worry About It: You cannot gain status conditions, change alignment, join any private chats, have your action targets changed, gain abilities, lose abilities, or have abilities modified. If you successfully alignment inspect someone, your result cannot be distorted from reality. The sole exception to these conditions is that Contractual Niceness can Disable this ability.
(Auto) Contractual Niceness: You are required to maintain a calm and kind demeanor during the Day and in private chats. If you violate this condition, Don’t Worry About It will be Disabled until you follow this condition for a full Day. You are encouraged to take breaks from the game whenever you feel like you need to.
(Night) Basic Inspect [target]: You learn your target’s alignment.

--Jim Groovester:

The terribly ironic role of somebody who only joined because other players asked him to (Town)
(Innate, Auto) Wait, Who’s This Guy: Maybe not who you had in mind. You are alignment-confirmed as Town to Elephant Parade. Additionally, your alignment cannot change, and you share a private chat with him. If you die, the player name of your partner will be REDACTED in your roleflip.
(1-Shot, Day) The Best Defense [target]: Is a good offense. At the start of the game, you publicly reveal this action and the fact that you have it. If your target is voting for you, you kill your target.
(Night) The Second Best Defense [target]: Is completely disregarding someone. Your target cannot target you this Night, and you steal their natural vote for the duration of the next Day.
(1-Shot, Auto) The Third Best Defense: Is the threat of mass destruction. If you die, all players with ‘Attached Bomb’ are killed.

(Reference, Status) Attached Bomb: It’s a bomb! Might explode at some point.

--Elephant Parade:

Bulletproof Miller Vigilante Mason (Town)
(2-Shot, Item, Auto) Bulletproof Vest: Not exactly what you had in mind, but it’ll do the job just fine. You will survive any kill used on you.
(Auto) Multi-Miller: Exactly as expected, but a bit more far-reaching. You and any players you are part of a private chat with alignment inspect as Mafia.
(Night) Vigilante Takedown [target]: Turns out this vigilante stuff is a lot harder than anticipated. You follow your target and knock them out, roleblocking them. You may also choose to give them the ‘Attached Bomb’ Status.
(Innate, Auto) Standard Mason: Okay, here you go. You are alignment-confirmed as Town to Jim Groovester, Additionally, your alignment cannot change, and you share a private chat with him. If you die, the player name of your partner will be REDACTED in your roleflip.

Trafalgar Law (Town)
(Auto) Heart Pirates Captain: Though you have a good heart, you’re undoubtedly an enemy of the World Government and all they stand for. You alignment inspect as a Pirate.
(Night) Surgeon of Death [target]: With unmatched expertise, you operate on your target. They are protected from kills, all their Disabled abilities have Disabled removed, and they lose all status conditions. Optionally, you may Disable this action, and restore all their current abilities to their original state.
(Night) Shambles [target1][target2]: Within your operating Room, you have full control. Actions targeting your first target are redirected to your second target, and vice versa. Optionally, you may Disable this action, and also switch your targets’ roles.

oh bleep.

Hector, given this....

If a player fails to kill or protect you, they gain Esteemed of the Court.

Why didn't you appear to at all explore or press that angle about Max gaining it?

If a player fails to kill or protect you, they gain Esteemed of the Court.

Why didn't you appear to at all explore or press that angle about Max gaining it?

Max's Auto only protects in the event that it redirects a kill, and it only protects the player the kill was redirected to.

[hector13]

‘cause he claimed to have a protect, and I did bring up the fact he redirected me from Jim to him on the night after I said it provided kill immunity, just nobody else seemed to care.

[hector13]

I did also think he was town at that point.

[Imp]

Great reasons, thanks!

[Imp]

‘cause he claimed to have a protect, and I did bring up the fact he redirected me from Jim to him on the night after I said it provided kill immunity, just nobody else seemed to care.

If you had made it clear that 'If a player fails to kill or protect you, they gain Esteemed of the Court' and that wasn't happening, I missed it.

I would have been following that closely if I could.  But that was something you kept quiet about until 'later', right?

[Maximum Spin]

I never claimed to have tried to protect hector13, of course, and I was completely honest with how I got the auto - I would have even claimed bussing myself with Jim if I felt it necessary, which I ultimately did d5 - so there was no reason to think that was ever relevant.

In fact, hypothetically, if hector13 accuses me of having tried to kill him, I admit to bussing myself with Jim, and I probably live through d5 too.

Mod Error Tally:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

EuchreJack's role PM should have had Pirate in bold red.

BlackHeartKabal's role PM didn't include the details of her Status.

The Canadian kitten should've been roleblocked when his Haunting Void was redirected to Maximum Spin (who was using Broken DOOR).

There were a few heated discussions that I should have asked people to calm down during.

[Imp]

Final Survey:

1: What's your impression of the game as a whole?  Loved it.

2: What did you like and dislike about your role?  I liked everything about my role except a couple things about the way I played it and that it ended.  I never like endings though.

3: What would you change about the setup or game rules to make the game better?  Want to make sure you have fun and get all the support and appreciation you need.  Feed the DM fund or whatever, your equivalent of scoobysnacks, don't really care.  Balance and reward, you've earned a lot.

4: Was the flavor enjoyable?  Yes

5: Any other comments to make?  More some day please, this was awesome.

[hector13]

Final Survey:

1: What's your impression of the game as a whole?

Great fun! I was guessing ‘til the end.

2: What did you like and dislike about your role?

Kill immunity was a little convoluted to give to people, considering there were quite a few people who could get past it, the post restriction was annoying but not overly so and pretty easy to stick to after doing it for three weeks, the randomization working as a kill/protect inspect was a nice bonus, and I love adding chaos to the night game.

3: What would you change about the setup or game rules to make the game better?

I thought the banishments were a bit harsh, I’m also not sure about SK allies as a thing, but they were tricky to create anyway.

4: Was the flavor enjoyable?

I don’t pay too much attention to it but I rather enjoyed mine.

5: Any other comments to make?

I think you deserve a bit of a rest after that one.

In an 18 player game that’s a low number of errors.

[Maximum Spin]

Final Survey:

1: What's your impression of the game as a whole?

It was good. Congratulations, after a couple missteps you finally did it.

2: What did you like and dislike about your role?

Like: It was well-tailored to me personally. Dislike: Not powerful enough, I didn't win. No, in all seriousness, having to try to direct the mafiakill into my trap was a little much, even though I got lucky anyway; this is definitely a role that could've been stunlocked all game by bad luck, which would've sucked. Then again, it would've been fine if someone had just tried to kill me, so maybe that was my fault.

3: What would you change about the setup or game rules to make the game better?

It definitely needed more redirection. Also, I would probably recommend not including roleswaps and rolewipes next time unless you have some really well-thought-out ways to make them weird.

4: Was the flavor enjoyable?

Nobody turned into cats, right? That's good enough for me.

5: Any other comments to make?

Didn't Egan's also have one like this?

...FALLACY, I probably win in that universe! Or even if you admitted that the result was a mod error! (I personally completely forgot.)
