I'm highly disappointed that Zexion didn't use that information muddling role. That would have been great. Except two of the three info roles (including Wargle) were killed on the first night. :P[/spoiler]He would have but then you people brutally thinged him.

In any case, fully detailed reveals up ahead.

Spoiler: Role PMs

Spoiler: Mai, the Mega Mawile

You are MEGA MAWILE, and you are Innocent.

The following are your powers:
HUGE POWER: Doubling up on heads definitely gives you some very interesting possibilities -- each time you are killed, you will be able to revive yourself at the beginning of a later Day phase. The number of times you have been killed minus 1 determines the amount of Day/Night cycles that must pass before you can revive (for example, the first time you are killed, 0 Day/Night cycles must pass, and thus you will revive immediately at the beginning of the Day phase after your death).
STOCKPILE: Each night, you can target a player. If you are lynched, you can choose one of the players you have targeted previously with this effect and cause their alignment to be revealed publically. Anytime you are killed and/or activate this effect, the list of players you have targeted with it is reset.

Spoiler: Light, the Aegislash

You are AEGISLASH, and you are Innocent.

The following are your powers:
KING'S SHIELD: Each night, you can follow your natural instinct to recognize the greatness of others and seek out a Heir. Any player you choose to target with this ability will become your Heir, but you can only have one Heir at a time, and a player will only cease to be your Heir if they die. If you yourself die, your Heir will despair and commit suicide themselves.
SACRED SWORD: As long as you have a Heir, you and your Heir share an optional kill -- one of you can target and kill a player at each night. Moreover, you can use this power to kill your own Heir if you so will; however, your Heir can never use this power against you.

Spoiler: Superbird, the Aromatisse

You are AROMATISSE, and you are Innocent.

The following is your power:
AROMATHERAPY: Each night, you can target a player to envelop them in a healing aroma, enabling them to survive an attempt against their lives. However, all of your fragances are a little too strong for anyone's tastes, and as such, each time you heal, you must choose and apply one of these effects as well:
-The targeted player is prevented from carrying out night actions.
-Any other players who target the player you target are killed.
-The targeted player is killed unless an actual attempt against their lives is made and foiled by your action.
-There's only a 50% chance that your protection will apply successfully.
-Target a second player; both players you have targeted are protected, but if one of them is actually attacked, the other one dies.
Once you have applied one of these effects, you cannot apply it again unless you apply all others before doing so.

Spoiler: I Liek Squirtles, the Litleo

You are LITLEO, and you are Innocent.

The following are your powers:
WORK UP: Each night, you can target a player and rouse them from their injuries through sheer encouragement, allowing them to survive an attempt against their lives. Beware, however -- you're not yet all that smart enough to have enough good things to say to everyone out there, so once you target a player with this power, you can only target that specific player with this power for the rest of this game's duration.
NOBLE ROAR: You're young and prone to screaming for your elders' attention if you feel that you're in trouble. As such, if any players target you during the night, that will be announced for all of the Town to hear by the time the next Day rolls in.

Spoiler: Tailsy, the Pumpkaboo

You are PUMPKABOO, and you are Halloween-aligned.

Players of the Halloween alignment win when every player in the game is dead. A player of Halloween alignment will be healed by attempts to kill at night and conversely killed by protective efforts. A lynched player of Halloween alignment will still die as normal. All players of Halloween alignment may communicate privately about this game.

The following are your powers:
TRICK-OR-TREAT: Each night, you can target and kill a player. If you are successful, at the end of the night, that player will target themselves with a self-reviving action and become rechristened as a player of Halloween alignment. These events will not be announced publically unless they occour in such a way that they ordinarily would be (eg if you kill a player and they cannot revive, they will be announced as dead the following Day just as if they were nightkilled ordinarily). If you attempt to use this power while the Halloween faction has an amount of players in it equal to the amount of living players in the Mafia faction plus one, it will fail to go through at all unless the amount of living players in the Mafia faction is equal to zero. Additionally, some players cannot altogether be affected by this action.
INSOMNIA: If you are killed, all players of the Halloween faction will at once be killed as well.

Spoiler: blazheirio889, the Aurorus

You are AURORUS, and you are Innocent.

The following is your power:
NATURE POWER: Each night, you can ask the game host (ie myself) a yes or no question about the game's setup that does not directly reveal any players' alignment.

Spoiler: Vanilla Mongoose, the Zygarde

You are ZYGARDE, and you are Mafia because you're so done these ecosystem wrecking numbnuts.

The following are your powers:
LAND'S WRATH: Unlike most natural predators out there, you can make the ground your bidding no matter how close or far, often to lethal extents. As such, if you carry out the Mafia's factional kill, no role powers may successfully investigate the action -- it would seem perfectly akin to a natural disaster rather than a deliberate movement.
GLARE: Once and only once in the game, during a night when you are not carrying out the factional kill, you can activate this power to throw off the rhythm of all players and make all of their actions resolve only much later than they ordinarily would. When you use this power, all night actions that would take place in this Night will instead take place during the next Night, alongside any actions that are carried out on that Night. This power will always go through successfully when it's used.

Your associates are Vivillon (Zexion) and Mega Houndoom (Eifie), and you may communicate privately with them about this game.

Spoiler: Alligates, the Mega Kangaskhan

You are MEGA KANGASKHAN, and you are Innocent.

The following are your powers:
TRUMP CARD: You may be raising your adorable little child to become whatever they want to become, but in this economic climate, you may find yourself obliged to force them into a desirable-looking profession. At the beginning of the game, you must set a number between 1 and 14; when the death in the game corresponding to the number you've chosen occours, you will inherit any powers (applicable to your innocent alignment) off whoever dies that specific death. For example, if you choose 1, then you will inherit the powers of the first player to die, and so on forth.
PARENTAL BOND: Junior there might not be of entirely legal voting age, but regardless, whenever you cast a vote during the day pool, it will count as two votes.

Spoiler: Zexion, the Vivillon

You are VIVILLON, and you are Mafia.

The following are your powers:
POISON POWDER: If you carry out the Mafia's factional kill, you will go about it by enshrouding your target in a choking cloud of toxic spores that will surely hang around their location throughout the night -- and as such, any players who target your victim will be killed as well.
RAGE POWDER: Once and only once in the game, during a night when you are not carrying out the factional kill, you can activate this power to all at once render the Town berserk and open to suggestion. When you activate this power, you can send me an alignment, a night action occoruing this night, a system message, and a yes-or-no answer; any information-gathering roles acting during this Night will receive the information that you send me instead of any that they would ordinarily receive. You can either try to falsify your own entirely possible results, or just slather something entirely silly all across the board to throw off the players, and you can even ask me to default to how something would display ordinarily (eg you could ask for the system message block to simply display no messages in the exact same way as I would write a no message display) -- and of course, feel entirely free to change up which of these possibilities you will apply to each information group. Note also that not all of these information groups are necessarily acessible to any players in the game, so they're not indicative of the setup. This power will always go through successfully when it's used.

Your associates are Zygarde (Vanilla Mongoose) and Mega Houndoom (Eifie), and you may communicate privately with them about this game.

Spoiler: Majora, the Noivern

You are NOIVERN, and you are Innocent.

The following is your power:
FRISK: Each night, you may target a player and choose one of the following listed below to find out about them:
-Who, if anyone, they have targeted;
-What kind of powers, if any, they have used;
-Who, if anoyne, has targeted them;
-What kind of powers, if any, they have been targeted with.
You may only choose one of these things to find out in a given night, and you cannot obtain the same type of information on consecutive nights (although all options are otherwise available; if you have gleaned a certain kind of information and then another, you can again investigate for the first kind, and then you can use the latter one in the night after as well).

Note that if FRISK informs of you the nature of an action, it will be categorized as one of these descriptors:
-KILLING ACTION - Any action that can directly cause the death of one or more players.
-INFORMATIVE ACTION - Any action that causes a player to receive information about the game directly from the game host (ie me).
-HEALING ACTION - Any action that can directly prevent or revert the death of one or more players as its purely intended effect.
-DISRUPTIVE ACTION - Any action that can prevent another action from being carried out as its performer intended, or at all.
-SUPPORT ACTION - Any action that grants one or more players an additional power.
-RECRUITING ACTION - Any action that establishes private communication between the players involved and may or may not entail an alignment change from any of them.
-POLL ACTION - Any action that affects the day poll.
-OTHER - Any action that cannot be categorized as any of the ones above.
Some actions may fit into multiple categories.

Spoiler: unused Mega Garchomp PM

You are MEGA GARCHOMP, and you are Innocent.

The following is your power:
DIG: Each night, you may hide underground near a player and choose one of the following listed below to find out about them:
-Who, if anyone, they have targeted;
-What kind of powers, if any, they have used;
-Who, if anoyne, has targeted them;
-What kind of powers, if any, they have been targeted with.
You may only choose one of these things to find out in a given night, and you cannot obtain the same type of information on consecutive nights (although all options are otherwise available; if you have gleaned a certain kind of information and then another, you can again investigate for the first kind, and then you can use the latter one in the night after as well).

Note that if DIG informs of you the nature of an action, it will be categorized as one of these descriptors:
-KILLING ACTION - Any action that can directly cause the death of one or more players.
-INFORMATIVE ACTION - Any action that causes a player to receive information about the game directly from the game host (ie me).
-HEALING ACTION - Any action that can directly prevent or revert the death of one or more players as its purely intended effect.
-DISRUPTIVE ACTION - Any action that can prevent another action from being carried out as its performer intended, or at all.
-SUPPORT ACTION - Any action that grants one or more players an additional power.
-RECRUITING ACTION - Any action that establishes private communication between the players involved and may or may not entail an alignment change from any of them.
-POLL ACTION - Any action that affects the day poll.
-OTHER - Any action that cannot be categorized as any of the ones above.
Some actions may fit into multiple categories.

Spoiler: Butterfree, the Mega Charizard X

You are MEGA CHARIZARD X, and you are Innocent.

The following is your power:
TOUGH CLAWS: Each Night, you can target a player and whisk them away from the action, preventing both anybody from targeting that player with night actions and that player from performing night actions themselves. During that same night, you and that player can exchange anonymous messages with each other (by sending them through me) and, if you so will, you may opt to kill the player. Note, however, that you can only use this power a total of three times in the game. For any relevant intents and purposes, this is also counted as a healing action.

Spoiler: Eifie, the Mega Houndoom

You are MEGA HOUNDOOM, and you are Mafia.

The following are your powers:
INFERNO: The flames you spew burn away at their target forever, even if they appear to be extinguished. As such, if you carry out the night kill, no role powers can stop the kill from going through -- the wounds you inflict are perfectly incurable.
HOWL: Once and only once in the game, when you are not carrying out the factional kill, you can activate this power to commandeer everyone through your extremely intimidating appearance and your loud cries. When you activate this power, you can designate a target for each an every one of the non-Mafia living players. At that point, any players with a night action will, during this Night, be able only to choose between obeying your designation or not using their powers at all. Note that you can choose any targets freely as long as they are living players -- you can even set more than one player against a same target, and you can set players against themselves as well. This action will always go through successfully when it's used.

Your associates are Zygarde (Vanilla Mongoose) and Vivillon (Zexion), and you may communicate privately with them about this game.

Spoiler: Wargle, the Heliolisk

You are HELIOLISK, and you are Innocent.

The following are your powers:
PARABOLIC CHARGE: During each even-numbered Night, you may target two players. The first player you target will receive parabolic signals from you, which you will be capturing from the second player. As such, your first target will be relayed any system messages that your second target receives.
SAND VEIL: During each odd-numbered Night, if you are not targeted by any night actions, a randomly chosen action from this Night will be relayed to you, and you learn of one of these details about it, as also randomly chosen: whether a certain player carried out an action, whether a certain player was targeted by an action, the nature of the action, or both the performer and the target of the action.

Note that if SAND VEIL informs of you the nature of an action, it will be categorized as one of these descriptors:
-KILLING ACTION - Any action that can directly cause the death of one or more players.
-INFORMATIVE ACTION - Any action that causes a player to receive information about the game directly from the game host (ie me).
-HEALING ACTION - Any action that can directly prevent or revert the death of one or more players as its purely intended effect.
-DISRUPTIVE ACTION - Any action that can prevent another action from being carried out as its performer intended, or at all.
-SUPPORT ACTION - Any action that grants one or more players an additional power.
-RECRUITING ACTION - Any action that establishes private communication between the players involved and may or may not entail an alignment change from any of them.
-POLL ACTION - Any action that affects the day poll.
-OTHER - Any action that cannot be categorized as any of the ones above.
Some actions may fit into multiple categories.

Spoiler: Negrek, the Chesnaught

You are CHESNAUGHT, and you are Innocent.

The following are your powers:
BULLETPROOF: Your thick hide naturally prevents one (and only one) attempt against your life during Nighttime from connecting successfully.
CLOSE COMBAT: Once and only once in the game, during daytime, you can send me a PM to designate a target and activate this power. When you do, the daypoll will be completely altered in the following way: Only you and your target may post messages, and only the other players can cast votes (and they can only cast votes through a designated command, and not say anything else); additionally, only you and your target can be voted against while this power is in effect. Note that the time counter for the Day phase will be reset when this power activates.

(so Chesnaught can't actually learn Close Combat, but bear with me here)

Spoiler: Worst Username Ever, Klefki version

You are KLEFKI, and you are Innocent.

The following are your powers:
MAGICIAN: During each Night, you must target a player. You steal that player's vote during the next Day phase -- your vote also counts as theirs, and their vote doesn't count.
FAIRY LOCK: Once and only once in the game, you can activate this power by sending a PM during the Day phase. In the next Night phase, all living players will be forced to participate in a little party you're throwing -- everyone will be able to post in the game thread, and no one will be able to communicate privately about this game.

Spoiler: Worst Username Ever, Mega Gengar version

You are MEGA GENGAR, and you are Innocent.

The following are your powers:
SPITE/SHADOW SNEAK: During each Night, you must target a player. You steal that player's vote during the next Day phase -- your vote also counts as theirs, and their vote doesn't count.
SHADOW TAG: Once and only once in the game, you can activate this power by sending a PM during the Day phase. In the next Night phase, all living players will be forced to participate in a little party you're throwing -- everyone will be able to post in the game thread, and no one will be able to communicate privately about this game.

This was among the best mafia games I've spectated/played. I know I've told you before but you're a great GM and the roles are fun and I can't wait for you to host another game :D

Click to expand...

Thank you very much! However, you might have to do that thing you can't do for now. The activity around here is restoring itself well now, and I have an angry pitchfork-and-torch wielding mob to escape from before I go on to host another game.

Not that I'm anywhere near out of devilish ideas, mind you, but it's probably best to let them freshen up for a little while more.

Awesome! I was really worried about blazheirio at the end, there... like, really worried. Especially since my instincts were so awful throughout the whole game (I'm so bad at mafia it's almost funny). But it worked out in the end, so high five to my fellow townies. Good game, everyone!

Also sorry for nearly screwing everything up with the thing on the second day, there; I just can't timezone, it totally wasn't supposed to be super last minute like that. It's unfortunate Zexion didn't get to mess with the inforoles, because that would have been hilarious, but sorry not sorry about taking out the mafia guy.

Superbird said:

I'd just like to say that I was in no way responsible for the massacre night 0. In fact, I used the healing power with a 50% chance of success (which I deemed to be the least dangerous) on Butterfree night 1, and then I continued to target her after the Captain message happened. Probably a bad idea then, I guess.

There were some pretty interesting things happening on our side of the game too. Here's the QuickTopic. Mafia shenanigans included:

I was complaining to Mafia Facilitator that Mai should be modkilled for breaking out-of-thread communication rules. I had thought res was Mai. He was using a tag that I had only previously seen on Mai's tumblr, so that's what confused me.
