What is it with those scum?
Serial killers. All ultimately four of them. I'm surprised it took as long as it did for anyone to even consider it, even though the "there's no mafia" part of the twist got patted down quickly.

What is it with the pace of this game?
I was expecting a lot more people to be dropping dead, what with the four serial killers running around, but, well. Two of them playing carefully, one of them getting lynched too quickly to do his thing, and the fourth one's unlikely to get started by the earlygame. It doesn't help matters much that, even before the game got boring, the inactivity was fierce.

How did Zero Moment get revived?
That's his primary power. He starts out as inno but can revive himself as an SK. In retrospect I should have put a time limit on it, but eh, it's probably not the worst mistake I've made with the setup this round.

Who did the thing?
Wargle did the thing from the grave. The power is Light's in origin, but Skill Swap happened all around.

What does Eifie's power do?
It counters VM's. In other words, it's been useless for quite a few phases.

Where were the rumours coming from?
That was one of Negrek's powers.

Was there anything else?

-Zero Moment started out as vanilla townie, but whilst dead, had the power to revive himself as a serial killer. He had both a regular killing power and a one-shot power to make himself deathproof for the night and following Day.
-Negrek was one of the rival killers. Neg had both a killing power and a public tracking power (which was where the rumours were coming from), but was restricted on when neg could use each whilst Butterfree was alive. She was also one-shot bulletproof.
-Butterfree was the other rival killer. She had both a killing power and a roleblocking power, but was restricted on when she could use each whilst Negrek was alive. She was also one-shot bulletproof.
-Visitor Message was an arsonist.

-Mai started out with a swapping power and that passive lovering power. The nightkill redirection power was swapped in.
-hopeandjoy had the ability to protect a player from night actions, but only from a decreasing number of specified players.
-Light started out with a one-shot power that can redirect kills targeted at him towards somebody else, and the thing.
-Alligates could either place a custom anonymous message on the Day text, or publicize any players that target her as a loudmouth.
-Zexion could track or follow players, although instead of getting direct results, he'd get flavorized results -- as in, the Pokémon owned by the player targeted by the tracked player, or the name of the power being used.
-Superbird had a copying action and a party throwing action.
-Flora had an alignment-checking action that was secretly useless because it checked for mafia or not mafia and a bus driving action.
-Wargle could only activate powers whilst dead, and had: a modified dreamer action, a night communication action, and a percentage-based killing action that could have its odds altered by certain use of the night communication action.
-DarkAura was a modified bodyguard, with the protection of other players being an action and the 50% chance of killing instead of being killed being a passive power.
-RespectTheBlade was a two-shot voteless governor (who could vote after expending the power fully) and one-shot reviver.
-Eifie was a fireman; she could unprime any players who Visitor Message primed for killing.

[hide=Mysterious Sisters Mai & Miruku]MYSTERIOUS SISTERS MAI & MIRUKU would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: Looking like anime characters, mostly.
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: The best of both worlds.
SELF-INTRODUCTION: We actually switch between those two roles from time to time.

Your ace Pokémon is Gardevoir, and your alignment is Innocent -- you win when all scum players are dead, regardless of whether you're alive yourself.
Your powers are as follows:
-SKILL SWAP: You can activate this power during the Night phase and target a player. Once you do, at the end of the night, this power will be swapped out with one of your target's powers, chosen at random -- you will gain that power and they will no longer have it, and conversely, you will no longer have this power and they will have it. Some powers may not be swapped out by this one; if your targeted player has no swappable powers, or your targeted player is dead at the end of the night, or if you are otherwise prevented from using this power, you will be informed of such at the end of the Night phase. Activating this power does not count as such for the intents and purposes of limits in other powers. A player who has this power at the end of the game will lose, regardless of completing their win condition, unless they are dead or this power has been passed along at least three times (players newly recieving this power will not be informed of the running count).
-CAPTIVATE: During nighttime, if you are targeted by a night action and it does not kill you at the end of the night, there is a 50% chance that, at that point, you and the targeting player will become Lovers. If that happens, you will both be notified and may communicate privately about the game between each other. If you die, so will your Lover; however, if your Lover dies, nothing happens to you. This power is always active, but doesn't count as such in limiting whether other powers can be used.

PSYCHIC HOPEANDJOY would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: Using my brains.
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: I may or may not call them "my brains" from time to time.
SELF-INTRODUCTION: I kind of wish my bara boyfriend was around here.

Your ace Pokémon is Reuniclus, and your alignment is Innocent -- you win when all scum players are dead, regardless of whether you're alive yourself.
Your power is as follows:
-WIDE GUARD: Each night, if you do not use any other powers, you may target a player and designate up to three other players (this does not count as targeting them). If any of the players you specified attempt to target your targeted player, their actions will not go through. You may not target or designate yourself for this power. Every two times you use this power, the amount of players you can name for it in subsequent uses decreases, up to a minimum of one.

JUGGLER LIGHT would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: Intricate and logical, but most of all, spectacular.
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: Cunning and quirky.
SELF-INTRODUCTION: More than twelve years on the road, and I have yet to drop my balls.

Your ace Pokémon is Mr. Mime, and your alignment is Innocent -- you win when all scum players are dead, regardless of whether you're alive yourself.
Your powers are as follows:
-ROLE PLAY: Each night, if you do not use any other powers, you may target yourself and designate a player (this does not count as targeting them). If any attempts against your life occour during this same Night, they will affect your designated player instead (and still count as having targeted, if it was a targeting power). Once this power successfully attempts to cause its designated player to die, it is expended -- you may not use it any further beyond that point (you can make as many attempts as you like until one takes, however).
-TEETER DANCE: During a Day phase, once and only once in the game, you may send me a PM to designate two targets and activate this power. When you do, the daypoll restarts under the following specifications: the two players you've specified may not vote, but all other players (including yourself) can only post in order to cast votes, using a specified command, and they can only cast votes against the two designated players. You may not at any point target yourself with this power, and you cannot activate any other powers that are activated during the Day if you use this one.

TWINS ALLIGATES would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: We just gobble them up whole!
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: Double trouble!
SELF-INTRODUCTION: We're both really just alligators. Sometimes we like to pretend we're a single person, too.

Your ace Pokémon are Plusle and Minun, and your alignment is Innocent -- you win when all scum players are dead, regardless of whether you're alive yourself.
Your powers are as follows:
-PLAY NICE: Each night, if you do not use any other powers, you may send the game host (aka me) a message of your choosing, to be publicized in the following Day phase.
-UPROAR: Each night, if you do not use any other powers, you may activate this power in order publicize, in the following Day, any players who have targeted you during the night in which you use this power.

BUG MANIAC ZEXION would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: Bugs.
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: Bugs.
SELF-INTRODUCTION: BUGS.

Your ace Pokémon are Volbeat and Illumise, and your alignment is Innocent -- you win when all scum players are dead, regardless of whether you're alive yourself.
Your powers are as follows:
-TAIL GLOW: Each night, if you do not use any other powers, you may target a player. At the end of the night, you will be informed of the Pokémon of choice belonging to any players that have been targeted by your target.
-ENCORE: Each night, if you do not use any other powers, you may target a player. At the end of the night, you will be informed of the name of any role powers your target used that night.

BIRD KEEPER SUPERBIRD would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: I wanna bird, bird, bird.
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: The bird is the word.
SELF-INTRODUCTION: I wanna bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word.

Your ace Pokémon is Pidgeotto, and your alignment is Innocent -- you win when all scum players are dead, regardless of whether you're alive yourself.
Your powers are as follows:
-MIRROR MOVE: Each night, if you do not use any other powers, you may target two players. You will use one (and only one) of the first target's submitted night actions for that night, targeting the second player. You can only copy actions that designate a single target (and thus, no actions that designate multiple targets OR none). If the power can only be used a limited amount of times in the game, your copy of it will count as a usage. Some powers may not be copiable at all, for logical reasons or for balance reasons.
-FEATHER DANCE: During a Day phase, once in the game, you may send me a PM in order to activate this power. If you do, once the Day phase ends, everyone will get to know about how the bird is the word, and so, a party will begin to occour in the game thread -- players will be allowed to post in it during the Night, but they may not communicate privately with each other even if they were currently allowed to by their role powers. Activating this power does not count as such for the intents and purposes of limits in other powers.

LASS FLORA would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: Somehow, it involves skirts.
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: It'd look good in a skirt.
SELF-INTRODUCTION: One day, I'll take over the world. And that day, all the population will be required to wear... tiny miniskirts!

Your ace Pokémon is Dedenne, and your alignment is Innocent -- you win when all scum players are dead, regardless of whether you're alive yourself.
Your powers are as follows:
-CONFIDE: Each night, if you do not use any other powers, you may target a player. At the end of the night, you will be told whether that player is mafia or not mafia.
-ENTRAINMENT: Each night, if you do not use any other powers, you may target two players. If your action goes through, any powers used by the first player will target the second player instead of any other targets the first player may have designated.

SWIMMER WARGLE would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: I only swim free.
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: There's always a pool when it's around.
SELF-INTRODUCTION: Life is a lot like swimming... You, like, end up drowning? I don't know.

Your ace Pokémon is Slowpoke, and your alignment is Innocent -- you win when all scum players are dead, regardless of whether you're alive yourself.
While you are alive, you do not have any powers. However, if you are dead, you may use up to two of the following powers each night:
-REST: Specify a number between 1 and 15. At the end of the Night, if you were not targeted by any players, you will receive a list of randomly picked players -- as many players as you've specified when you activated this ability -- and be told how many of the players in the list pertain to each alignment.
-SLEEP TALK: Target a living player. You may communicate privately with that player during the next Night phase (not the current one), and only during that Night phase, if they are still alive at that point.
-CURSE: Target a living player. There's a 50% chance that they'll die. If you choose to manifest yourself to that player as well, the chance increases to 75%. If you choose to manifest yourself to a different player, the chance drops to 25%.

SKIER DARKAURA would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: Going down the slippery slope.
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: Thanks, Aboma!
SELF-INTRODUCTION: In the future, everyone will be able to ski freely. Imagine all the people...

Your ace Pokémon is Abomasnow, and your alignment is Innocent -- you win when all scum players are dead, regardless of whether you're alive yourself.
Your powers are as follows:
-BLOCK: Each night, if you do not use any other powers, you may target a player. If another player attempts to target and directly kill the player you targeted, they will be made to target you instead.
-AVALANCHE: During any Nights, if someone targets you and attempts to directly kill you (includingly via your own BLOCK power), there is a 50% chance that, instead of being killed, you will kill your attacker instead. This power is always active, but does not count as such in limiting whether other powers can be used.

CRUSH KIN ZERO MOMENT would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: When one is wronged, another must set things right.
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: Part of the family.
SELF-INTRODUCTION: "I'm gonna shotokan karate your ass until it breaks in two, both halves of it" means family, and family means no one gets left behind.

Your ace Pokémon is Machoke, and your alignment is Innocent -- you win when all scum players are dead, regardless of whether you're alive yourself. However... see below for additional details.
While you're alive as an innocent, you have no powers. However, if you die, you may use the following powers:
-BATON PASS: Once and only once in the game, during any phase (Day or Night), you may activate this power to cause its effects at the end of the phase in which you activate it. When you do so, the legacy of your current and deceased player will pass onto a different one, and so, you will be revived. However, at that point, you will no longer be of innocent alignment. You will be neither innocent nor mafia, and you will only win if all players but yourself are dead.
-SEISMIC TOSS: After you have used BATON PASS, each night, if you do not use any other powers, you may target a player and kill them.
-ENDURE: After you have used BATON PASS, each night, if you do not use any other powers, you may activate this power to prevent up to one attempt against your life from succeeding within the night and, if your protection is not expended at that time, a lynch in the immediately following day (this protection is expended even if you are not lynched during that Day). You may only use this power once in the game.

ROUGHNECK NEGREK would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: Doesn't matter, I just like beating the hell out of everyone else.
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: Badass and ass-kicking.
SELF-INTRODUCTION: Who needs a 3DS when you can just play Gen V games forever?

You have a lifelong rival, that Battle Girl Butterfree. She thinks beating the hell out of everyone is a thing you do for self-improvement or something, and not just fun! And that's terrible. Also, she keeps saying Hoenn was better than Unova! The insolence! The injustice! Utterly unforgivable!

Your ace Pokémon is Scraggy, and your alignment is neither innocent nor mafia -- you win when all players but yourself are dead.
Your powers are as follows:
-HIGH JUMP KICK: Kicking people in the face until they die is rad as hell... But like most things, it gets lame if everyone else is doing it. So, as long as your rival is alive and kicking (literally), you can only use this power in odd-numbered nights. With or without that restriction, as long as you do not use any other powers in the same night, you can target someone and kick them in the face until they die. However, do note that your rival already gets your kick in the face game, so it's not going to work against her.
-LOW SWEEP: When you're not kicking people in the face, you like kicking them on the legs instead. Each night, if you do not use any other powers, you can target someone, trip them up, and then laugh them for being such a complete loser. And then you're just going to tell everyone about how that person is a complete loser, and in time, everyone in town will know who that person was targeting last night. This also doesn't work on your rival, and besides, as long as they're around, you can only use this power on even-numbered nights.
-SHED SKIN: When the going gets tough, Scraggy loses its pants and gets the hell away. That, too, is how we should- okay, nevermind. During nighttime, if you would have been killed, you will instead escape and survive. You only have one pair of pants to lose, however, so it only really works once -- next time, you'll just be caught with your pants down. This power is always active, but doesn't count as such in limiting whether other powers can be used.

GUITARIST RESPECTTHEBLADE would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: It's all about the Metal.
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: Metal-licious.
SELF-INTRODUCTION: Metal is my life and it's also gonna be your death.

Your ace Pokémon is Loudred, and your alignment is Innocent -- you win when all scum players are dead, regardless of whether you're alive yourself.
Your powers are as follows:
-HYPER VOICE: During a Day phase or within 12 hours of the end of a Day phase, up to two times in the game, you may send me a PM to activate this power. If you do, you may overrule the results of that Day's poll and redirect the lynch into a target of your choosing (or even cancel the lynch altogether). As long as you have this power, you cannot cast a vote in the day poll (you may still post with the bolded command but it will not be counted as a vote) (note also that expending all of this power's uses eliminates it from the game, and thus you will at that point regain your ability to actually cast votes). You cannot activate this power if you used any other powers in the Night previous to the current Day.
-METAL SOUND: Once and only once in the game, during any phase (Day or Night), you may target a dead player and bring them back from the dead with the power of metal (the effects begin at the end of the phase in which you activate this power). You can only use this power if you have not used any other powers during the same phase, and it will not succeed if anybody other than yourself targets the same dead player.

BATTLE GIRL BUTTERFREE would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: Self-improvement comes from beating the hell out of everyone else.
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: Enlightened and ass-kicking.
SELF-INTRODUCTION: My time is now! Hoenn just got confirmed!

You have a lifelong rival, that Roughneck Negrek. Neg just beats the hell out everyone for fun, rather than for self improvement! And that's terrible. Also, neg keeps saying Unova was better than Hoenn! The gall! The sacrilege! Utterly unforgivable!

Your ace Pokémon is Meditite, and your alignment is neither innocent nor mafia -- you win when all players but yourself are dead.
Your powers are as follows:
-HIGH JUMP KICK: Kicking people in the face until they die is a way of life... But like most things, the universe can only handle so many flying kicks at a time. So, as long as your rival is alive and kicking (literally), you can only use this power in even-numbered nights. With or without that restriction, as long as you do not use any other powers the same night, you can target someone and kick them in the face until they die. However, do note that your rival already gets your kick in the face game, so it's not going to work against neg.
-FORCE PALM: When you're not busy kicking people in the face, you like slapping people in the face sometimes, too. Each night, if you do not use any other powers, you can target someone and slap them in the face until they're paralyzed on the spot and unable to do anything for the rest of the night. This also doesn't work on your rival, though, and besides, as long as they're around, you can only use this power in odd-numbered nights.
-DETECT: Oh yeah, people get annoyed when you do that, but it's better than being a total loser. During nighttime, if you would have been killed, you will instead evade and survive. Since it starts failing to work after enough spamming, though, it only really works once -- next time, it's do or, most likely, die. This power is always active, but doesn't count as such in limiting whether other powers can be used.

MEDIUM EIFIE would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: clerical dwarf porn
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: Why isn't it searching?
SELF-INTRODUCTION: Sonny! That "Goggles" thing you were showing me on the computer is broken!

Your ace Pokémon is Gastly, and your alignment is Innocent -- you win when all scum players are dead, regardless of whether you're alive yourself.
Your power is as follows:
-HAZE: Each night, if you do not use any powers, you may target a player and take them to a spiritual experience, where they may find Jesus (you know, the guy you pray to with those Buddhist beads -- and while we're at it, why don't you cook them some onigiri which are actually donuts?) and remove evil temptations from their hearts. What's that exactly, you ask? Who knows... All that matters is setting the youth right.

SUPER NERD VISITOR MESSAGE would like to play mafia!


STRATEGY: It's a dish best served cold, my friend...
TRAINER'S POKÉMON: Too complex for your jock brains to understand.
SELF-INTRODUCTION: They made fun of me! They gave me wedgies and knocked my books down! But I will have my revenge!

Your ace Pokémon is Grimer, and your alignment is neither innocent nor mafia -- you win when all players but yourself are dead.
Your powers are as follows:
-SCREECH: It's best to get them all in one place, right? So, each night, if you do not use any other powers, you can target a player and invite them to this huge D&D party you're throwing in your house. No one will actually want to go, but you're too insitent and slimy for them to say no, so they'll probably reluctantly show up. And then...
-POISON GAS: Hahaha! As soon as you can get them all there, it's going to be a blast! Each night, if you do not use any other powers, you can gather up all the players you've invited so far and then make them gasp and beg for their lives until they don't have any more of those to beg for. It wouldn't even count as targeting any of them! Although, if any of them survive somehow, you'd need to invite them to another D&D session if you want to try your hand at taking them out again...
