[Ottofar]

Yeah, do that.

[Toaster]

Four shortens required to end the day.

[Think0028]

Shorten.

[Orangebottle]

If nobody has anything else to say, then I guess we're going to shorten.

[Powder Miner]

Shorten.

[Toaster]

The other five were sure- Ottofar must go.  "You'll have to find me first!" he growled- then he ducked and vanished.

A quick search turned him up, though- he was attempting to hide under a box.  Said box was then smashed into him repeatedly.

No trace of evil could be found on him, though- it appears he had been telling the truth.  What did this mean for the future?

Everyone goes to bed, worried.  All except one.


The curator arrives at the museum in the morning, only to find the area blocked off, with emergency personnel everywhere.  A man in uniform stops him.

"What's going on?  What happened to my museum?"

The man in uniform frowns at him.  "You're in charge?  Did you know what was in that installation?"

The curator blinks.  "What installation?  What do you mean?"

"There was an installation, labeled DEFCON, ironically enough.  Inside one of its boxes were some poorly-sealed spent uranium rods.  The seal must have given out last night.  Radiation has leaked everywhere, and the place has to be cleaned."

"No!  The opening is next week!" moans the curator.

"Next week?" laughs the man in uniform.  "You'll be lucky if you can open next year.  It's a mess in there!"

He leaves to direct the crew, and the curator bows his head, sobbing.


Ottofar has been lynched!  He was FBI in your Keyboard (Town).

Powder Miner has been killed!  He was Tetrahedron (Town).

Think0028 has been killed!  He was Gundam (Town).

Orangebottle has been killed!  He was Demoman (Mafia).

Urist Imiknorris has been killed!  He was Weighted Companion Cube (Town).

Jim Groovester has been killed!  He was Defcon (Serial Killer).



Game over!  Jim Groovester has won!

[Darvi]

Welp.

Spoiler: Roles (click to show/hide)

Scum:

The four of you are intent on dominating this art showcase- none of the others are worthy to hang with you!

Andrew425 - Link  (Mafia)

You, a glorious hero from another world, have let pride cloud your judgment.  You now seek a new future with these fellow works of art!

(Auto) Heroic Reputation:  You are so respected as a hero, that anyone who inspects you will think you are a member of the Town.
(Mafiakill) Bow and Arrow:  You kill the target.  Anyone watching the target to see who visits will not notice you.  [They will see an action, but not who did it.]
(Night, 1 use) Triforce:  Target player receives a mod PM telling them that you are town.


Webadict - Power  (Mafia)

Power, power, power!  That is all you want, all you crave, and all you think about!  Watts it to you?

(Auto) Darkness:  You know when to shroud yourself in darkness, giving any non-kill action performed on you a 50% chance to fail.
(Night) Blackout:  You cut the power to someone at a critical moment, causing their action to be delayed to the following night.
(Night, 1 use) Fade to Black:  Target player permanently loses an ability.  You lose all your abilities except access to the Mafiakill.


OrangeBottle - Demoman  (Mafia)

Bombs and booze!  If you get rid of the competition, that means more bombs and booze for yourself!  Hurrah!

(Auto) Drunken Focus:  You are immune to anything that would cause you to change your target.
(Night) Sticky Bomb:  You can surround someone’s house with sticky bombs and trap them in their house.  They will be roleblocked.
(Mafiakill, 1 use) Kaboom!:  You kill the target, the target’s target, and anyone targeting the target.  You are not affected, and you can ensure the safety of up to one of your teammates from this blast.


ECrownofFire - Dragon Love  (Mafia)

Sweet, glorious, scaly dragon love!  You two dragons aren’t sure how you wound up with this crowd, but as long as you’re together, nothing matters!

(Auto) Power of Love:  Once during the game, you will revive if you are killed by any means.
(Night) True Love: You can cover someone else with your love- if they are attacked, you will die in their place.
(Mafiakill, 1 use)  Double Dragon Breath:  You kill the target and anyone attempting to protect the target.  Protections on the intended target are ineffective.


You win when it is impossible for you to lose.

You may discuss your plot here:  http://www.quicktopic.com/47/H/4Dt8q2mYDw5m2


Third Party:

Simple - Defcon  (Serial Killer)

> How about Global Thermonuclear War?
> Wouldn’t you rather play a nice game of chess?
> Later. Let's play Global Thermonuclear War.
> Fine.

(Auto) Armageddon Clock:  The game starts at Defcon 5.  At the end of every night, the Defcon counter goes down by one.  The current Defcon status is posted publicly at the start of every day.  This ability cannot be blocked.
(Night) EMP Bomb:  You replaced the SRBMs on your bombers with EMPs.  Each night, you can target one person to give any action they take a 50% chance to fail.
(Night, 1 use) Big Red Button.  Everybody dies.  This cannot be blocked, protected, redirected, removed, revived, resurrected, or anything else that would make them not die.  You may only use this ability at Defcon 1.

You win when all other players are dead.  You do not have to be alive to win.


Mysteriousbluepuppet - La Tentation de Saint Antoine  (Mafia-Ally)

You are a surrealist’s recreation of a work of art of an artist that was already somewhat surreal.  Your world view has become so skewed that you want the bad guys to win!  You’ve got some tricks to help them out...

(Auto) Temptation:  Any action that targets a Mafioso has a 25% chance to target you instead.  This does not apply to your actions or the actions of the Mafia, and this ability is not revealed on your death.
(Night) Surrealism:  You give the target a glimpse of yourself, and they are so confused that their target is changed randomly.
(Night, 1 use) Obelisk Elephant: The Obelisk Elephant comes out and stomps on another player.  This attack causes them to lose any Auto powers they might have.

You win if the Mafia wins.


Nuke9.13 - Adventure Peasant  (Survivor)

You’re not really sure how you got here- you’re just a simple peasant trying to deliver a letter to the asylum so the PRESIDENT does not execute you.  You’ll be fine if you can just get out of here alive!

(Auto) MSPaint Art:  It can be a bit hard to tell what is what on you, especially when you get pixelated.  Any action targeting you has a 50% chance to fail.
(Night) Scavenger Guild:  You can stop by the scavenger store and pick up whatever it is they have for sale, getting yourself a random one-shot ability.  It’s not guaranteed to be useful.
(Night, 1 use) Uberplussed Duck:  You unleash the Uberplussed Duck, repeller of evil!  All kills this night will be prevented.

You win if you are alive when the game is over.

[randomize, motivate, protect, hide, watch, track, inspect, attract, shuffle, suicide]



Town:

Mr.Person - Bring Your Own Picture: Darkling  (Town)

The spirit of this competition has split into two component essences, each charged to protect the innocent art from those that would bring it harm.  Work together with the rest of the innocents to combat the evil ones!  You are the Darkling twin, which seeks to hinder the opposition.

(Auto) Spirit Threads:  You know that Jack A T is town.  You may discuss your plan to fight evil with him here:  http://www.quicktopic.com/47/H/tYyEuqNJBxiM
(Night) Shadowbind:  You bind the target in shadows, preventing any action that he intended to take.
(Night, 1 use) Twin Retribution:  The two of you channel your power and blast another player from existence.  This kill is strong enough to ignore any protection applied to the target.   Both you and Jack A T must use this ability on the same target on the same night, or it will fail.


Jack A T - Bring Your Own Picture: Core  (Town)

The spirit of this competition has split into two component essences, each charged to protect the innocent art from those that would bring it harm.  Work together with the rest of the innocents to combat the evil ones!  You are the Core twin, which seeks to protect the innocent.

(Auto) Spirit Threads:  You know that Mr.Person is town.  You may discuss your
plan to fight evil with him here:  http://www.quicktopic.com/47/H/tYyEuqNJBxiM
(Night) Shroud:  You put a protective sphere around the target.  Any other action aimed at the target has a 50% chance to fail.
(Night, 1 use) Twin Retribution:  The two of you channel your power and blast another player from existence.  This kill is strong enough to ignore any protection applied to the target.   Both you and Mr.Person must use this ability on the same target on the same night, or it will fail.


IronyOwl - Neko Death Knight  (Town)

You are cute catgirl death knight!  Meow!~   You’re adorable, but watch out for those claws!

(Auto) Kawaii:  You’re so cute that it takes an extra vote to lynch you.
(Night) Guardian:  You protect the target with your life- if they are attacked, you die in their place.
(Night, 1 use) Cat Ears:  You can focus your sensitive ears on a single target- giving you access to their goal.  You learn the specific alignment of the target, including specific third party if they are neither Town nor Mafia.  You know your inspection is sane, but not immune to any ability that would mislead an inspection. [Miller/Godfather]


Darvi - The Slender Man  (Town)

Ever watching from the darkness, you can inflict no end of misfortune on your victims, then slide back in to the shadows.

(Auto) Mental Blank:  You are immune to any effect that might reveal your role.  [Not alignment.]
(Night) Stalk:  You track your target, finding out anyone that they target tonight.
(Night, 1 use) Mind Screw: You reveal your true horror to the target.  They are roleblocked, and can neither vote the next day nor act the next night.


Urist Imiknorris - Weighted Companion Cube  (Town)

You are a cube, escaped from a research facility when it unexpectedly exploded.  You can use your powers of companionship to protect others now!

(Auto) Well Loved:  If you are killed or lynched, the killer/last person to vote for you will be so distraught that they can neither act nor vote for a full turn cycle.
(Night) Companionship:  You protect the target from a single kill tonight.
(Night, 1 use) Big Heart:  The target cannot be lynched tomorrow, which will be obvious to all players (but not that you were involved.)


Think0028 - Gundam  (Town)

You are a giant anime mecha, surfing across the outer atmosphere.  How cool is that?

(Auto) Giant Mecha: You’re too big to stop- all roleblocks are ineffective on you.
(Night) Called Shot:  Your experience in assisted aiming lets you guarantee that any action your target performs will hit the intended target tonight.
(Night, 1 use) Arm Cannon:  You blast the target, killing them.


Powder Miner - Tetrahedron  (Town)

“In geometry, a tetrahedron (plural: tetrahedra) is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces, three of which meet at each vertex.”
 - Wikipedia

(Auto) Regular:  You are immune to anything that would change your role.
(Night) Monge Point:  Your awareness of where things intersect allows you great powers of communication.  Each night, you may PM me a message and a target.  I will then forward that message along to the intended target.  The message may be signed or anonymous.
(Night, 1 use) Four Sides:  You know all about sides.  This lets you get a count of the number of living players that seek the demise of the town.


TolyK - LHC Particle Physicists  (Town)

A group of nuclear researchers sit studying a readout of the Large Hadron Collider.  Think they’ve found a Higgs Boson yet?

(Auto) Scientists:  You are completely surrounded by observational equipment, so it’s easy for you to determine how many times you were targeted each night.
(Night) Research:  You can accelerate particles at a target to determine their alignment.  Possible results are Town, Mafia, or Third Party.
(Night, 1 use) Black Hole:  Secretly, you’ve discovered how to create a miniature black hole.  You can shoot one at someone to kill them.


Dariush - Littlefinger Always Wins  (Town)

You are a schemer and plotter, always after your own self interest.  You determined long ago that your best course of action is to side with the town and ensure their victory.  It’s too bad no one trusts you.

(Auto) Smug:  You always have that smug smile on your face, making people think you’re up to something.  Inspects on you return Mafia.
(Night) Observe:  You are very observant, and can easily study a person to learn who they really are.  You see the submitted image of the target.
(Night, 1 use) Backstab:  The best way to remove a threat is a silent knife in the back.  You kill the target.


NativeForigner - La Mort et le Bucheron  (Town)

A cautionary tale that perhaps Death isn’t as bad as it seems and running from it will get you nowhere.  Your experience with Death has given you a great insight as to her secrets.

(Auto) Death’s Door:  Death will allow you a chance to get your last words out before taking you.  If you die, you may make one post with game-relevant information the following day.
(Night) Eyes of the Victim:  If the target is killed tonight, you see the submitted image of the killer.
(Night, 1 use) Death’s Blessing:  You bargain with Death to give the target another chance.  The target gains a one-shot revive.


Ottofar - FBI in your Keyboard  (Town)

It’s more likely than you think.

(Auto) Undercover:  Since you’re deep undercover, you are immune to any Track or Watch action.
(Night) Keyboard:  You pop out of the target’s keyboard, and watch to see who visits them.
(Night, 1 use) Party Van:  You call out a hit on the target.  The target is blocked and removed from the game until the end of the following day.

Spoiler: Night 1 Actions: (click to show/hide)

Scum:

Andrew spends the night practicing his heroic poses.

Orangebottle goes out and surrounds Urist Imiknorris with sticky bombs- he’s not going anywhere.

ECrownofFire swoops down and blasts IronyOwl with a giant gout of flame!  He is completely torched, but it doesn’t look like there’s any collateral damage.

Sadly, Webadict is blocked and killed.  Not a good day for him.


3rd Party:

MBP:
You expose yourself to IronyOwl.  He’ll have no idea who he’s targeting tonight!

Nuke:
You journey to the Scavenger’s Guild to see what they are selling.  Today’s special is a rusty helmet!  You can put it on someone’s head to protect them, but it’s so rusty that it’ll fall apart at the end of the night.

[Gained 1-shot protect action.]

Town:

Ottofar:
For some reason, you are unable to locate Webadict’s keyboard, ergo you fail to watch him tonight.

Dariush:
A dark corner, a silent knife, and a quick thrust.  Webadict won’t be around to trouble anyone any more.

TolyK:
You accelerate a stream of particles at Webadict.  According to your sensors, his reflection pattern clearly indicates that his alignment is Mafia!

Speaking of your sensors, they indicate that one person is targeting you.  It’s a high-energy signature, headed your direction.  In fact, according to the velocity, trajectory, and energy levels, it should pass through your head and melt it clean off your shoulders!

Your sensors are very accurate.

You have died.  You may discuss your death here: http://www.quicktopic.com/47/H/ArJ5bMbUuqPY


Powder Miner:
You focus your mind on sides, one of your favorite subjects.  You can clearly see the number five- that is the number of living forces that work against you!

[That doesn’t count anyone who died in the night, before you ask.]


Think:
Tolyk- he must die.  You determine his location, sky-surf over to him, and fire off a high energy blast!  He is quickly melted.


Urist_I:
You go to Webadict’s side to protect him from harm.  Or at least you try to, anyway- something is blocking you, and you’re unable to do anything.


Native:
You use your connection with Death to see who would kill ECrownofFire.  It appears no one would.


Jack A T:
You extend your shroud to cover Urist_McArathos.  That should keep him safe from hostile intent.


Darvi:
Stalking IronyOwl is a piece of cake, as he didn’t leave his frame.


Urist A:
You use your powers to ensnare Webadict.  He won’t be doing anything tonight.


Irony:
You just chill out and watch TV tonight.

Until you are incinerated.

You have died.  You may discuss your death here: http://www.quicktopic.com/47/H/ArJ5bMbUuqPY

Spoiler: Night 2 Actions (click to show/hide)

Scum:

Orangebottle gets out the BIG gun.   Tracking down Nuke, he lines up the killing shot...

Nothing happens.  No kaBOOM, no death, no nothing.  Odd.

His shot missed, he packs it in for the night.  The ammo wasn’t used, so he can always try again later.


Third Party:

MBP:

Native shall be your target today.  You reveal yourself to him- the confusion coming from him is palpable.  His plans have certainly been altered.


Nuke:

Some say good and evil are just two sides of the same coin.  No person is wholly good or wholly evil- each exists in some ratio in everyone.  Even a saint striking down a sinner needs some shred of evil in his heart to land a killing blow.  Everything must exist together.

You know none of this.  But the Duck does.

The duck takes flight, ascending to a point well over the scene.  He begins.  Waves of purple evil emanate from all around, converging on the duck.  The air is so thick with evil, that the duck fades from view.  As time passes, the cloud flies away.  The duck has moved on, carting away the evil of the night.

The evil will return tomorrow, but for tonight, no one dies.


Town:

Ottofar:

You pop out from under Jim’s keyboard to see who pays him a visit, but it’s a long, boring night- he has no visitors.


Dariush:

Think0028 will have no secrets when you are done with him.  In fact, it’s so clear what he is that you can see it.

http://i41.tinypic.com/jqg4f9.jpg


Powder:

A quick intersection of points, and the message is delivered.


Think:

You seek out Nuke- you believe his aiming could use your assistance today.  But it is not to be- you’re unable to find him to target him.  Oh well.


Urist I:

Nuke is the one who deserves your companionship today!  Sadly, he will remain lonely, as you couldn’t find him to protect him.


Native:

Well, you intended to tell Death that you wanted to know more of Nuke’s fate.  Something confused you, though, and you ended up asking to see of Andrew instead.  In any case, he did not perish in the night.

However, a message did come to you in a dream:

“I only have this crappy message ability left as my active, so I figured I'd use it investigatively. Will you please tell me if you were targeted tonight, by having the last word in your post be bold for yes, italics for no?

--Powder Miner”


Masons:

The two of you focus your spirit energy together- it is decided that Dariush will feel your wrath tonight!

Something is wrong, though- you are unable to summon up the energy to strike him down.  You give up for now, but the ability to do this remains.


Darvi:

You move swiftly through the shadows, and come upon Native.  Staying ever out of his view, you trace him to Andrew425.  Interesting.

Spoiler: Night 3 Actions (click to show/hide)

Scum:
Andrew sits with his fingers in his ears as Orangebottle loads up the big guns.  There shouldn’t be any interference tonight, despite the change in target.

Orangebottle tracks down Dariush, takes careful aim, and fires...

KABOOM!

Dariush is disintegrated, and several figures are highlighted in the explosion.  Bullseye!

A note crumpled on a piece of paper falls out of the sky and lands on Andrew’s head.  It reads:

“Why did you use your bomb role to make people think Nuke was scum? You're being watched.”

It isn’t signed.



Third Party:

Jim:
Dariush is going to get an EMP surprise tonight.  You ready the bomb, and blast him.

Warning!  Explosion detected!  It’s gaining on you- you’ll never make it!

There’s a thump and you fade to black.

You wake up a bit later, mostly unscathed.  What the heck was that?


Town:

Ottofar:
You pop up under Jim’s keyboard tonight, hoping to track down some information.  Tonight is a success, as it appears Urist Imiknorris has paid your target a visit.  Hmm.


Dariush:
The path to success requires that you gain information on Jack A T tonight.  You head out to visit him.

There is a small explosion, and you are stunned.  By the time you get back up, you’ve lost track of your target.  Damn!

There is a much larger explosion, and your body is consumed by the blast.

You have died.

Dead Chat: http://www.quicktopic.com/47/H/ArJ5bMbUuqPY


Powder Miner:
The message is delivered.  Hopefully the point has been made.


Think0028:
You call up your laser targeting, and guide the way for Urist Imiknorris.  He’ll have 100% accuracy tonight.


Urist Imiknorris:
Jim looks like he is most in need of your companionship.  You approach him and - woah, that’s a huge explosion!  You dive to knock him out of the way, and just in the nick of time!  He’s knocked out, but alive.  You head off before he recovers.


Native:
You call on your connection with Death yet again and watch over Dariush.  This time, your efforts bear fruit- you feel Dariush’s connection with the mortal world be severed, and a strange set of images fill your mind:

(DEMOMAN)
(2x BYOP)

As soon as it happens, you feel your own connection to mortality severed by an explosion.

Your spirit stands up from your shattered body.  Death holds up his hand, gesturing for you to wait.  Before he takes you, you may share your last words with the world...


Jack A T/Urist McArathos:
The two of you focus your energy together again.  The target has changed, but this must not fail!

Your energies combine, and an energy beam shoots off towards Dariush.  He should be eliminated.

There is a strange backflow of energy from the connection- some sort of explosion?  You only have a second to ponder it before it rays out and destroys you both.

You have died.

Dead chat:  http://www.quicktopic.com/47/H/ArJ5bMbUuqPY


Darvi:
You track down Dariush, just as he approaches the place where Jack A T should be found.

As you ponder the implications, a gigantic explosion roars out and engulfs you.  No manner of shadow powers can save you from that.

You have died.

Dead chat:  http://www.quicktopic.com/47/H/ArJ5bMbUuqPY

Spoiler: Night 4 Actions (click to show/hide)

Scum:

It’s just you now, so you’re in charge.  You say MBP must die, so that he does.  A quick grenade blast, and he’s done for.


Third Party:


Jim:

Another day, another sortie.  MBP is the target tonight, and the bombs drop around him.  That should interfere with his plans!

Now if you can only survive this next day...

There’s a buzz, and a message comes across your comm screen.  It reads:

“OK, get some message "investigation" in. If you're actioned tonight, and you know it, but your last word of your first post next day in bold. If you know not, put it in italics.”

It is not signed.


MBP:

Tonight is the time to call in your ultimate weapon- the Obleisk Elephant!  You perform the ritual to summon him...

...and a electrical blast knocks you senseless.  You’re dazed, but unharmed.  Whatever it was interfered with your process, and you can’t muster the energy to get the Elephant tonight.  Blast!

Speaking of blasts, another one comes and fills your body with shrapnel.  You bleed out quickly.

You have died.

Dead Chat:  http://www.quicktopic.com/47/H/ArJ5bMbUuqPY


Town:

Ottofar:

The way is familiar this time, and you quickly pop out from Jim’s keyboard, and settle in to the familiar spot.

Again, this trip is fruitful, as you see both Urist Imiknorris and Powder Miner visit.  Interesting.


Powder Miner:

Intersection away!  The message is delivered.


Urist I:

Jim must feel extra loved, what with all the companionship you are giving him!  You protect him, but it isn’t needed tonight.

[Darvi]

Also, going against doomspeaker who was up for replace most of the time? Not cool.

[Orangebottle]

Bwaaah, I was going to be a magnificent bastard and kill jim during the night because I thought he was going to win tomorrow.
Booo!

[Toaster]

Jim Groovester:

[Jim Groovester]

Mwaha.

I rambled a bunch here, mostly for fun.

Also, going against doomspeaker who was up for replace most of the time? Not cool.

Yeah.

This would've been a lot harder if I had started the game as DEFCON instead of replaced in.

[Toaster]

I hope everyone had fun!  Hopefully it was fairly well balanced, for my first crack at a BYOR-style game (and 18-man game- yikes!)

Also, going against doomspeaker who was up for replace most of the time? Not cool.

I was actually about to modkill him, if it makes you feel better.



I did actually make a mistake- I originally intended Jim's Big Red Button to be blockable, but I left "cannot be blocked" in his role PM, so it became canon.  Oops!  Not that it would have made a difference, at least.

[Darvi]

People should've gotten suspicious after your roleclaim. The Goddamn Batman sounds too good to be true.

At least OB had the excuse of thinking he could kill you instead.

I was actually about to modkill him, if it makes you feel better.

It doesn't.

[Orangebottle]

Also, had Urist not protected Jim, he would have been dead.
Nice job breaking it, hero!
Note to self: always kill people who ask for a replacement when I have a kill.
