The Syndicate

Protagonists (3)
Potential additional wincons.





Courage
He just knows something bad is going to happen, or his name is Quad Rabbitpunch. And it's not. [Secrets]





Muriel
'Oh my'
Muriel can use her rolling pin each Night to smack a player and block that player from targeting anyone. She knows Courage's identity. If she does ever choose to vote for Courage during a lynch phase, her vote will be worth 0.




Eustace Bagge
'Stupid dog! You make me look bad!'
This stubborn, grumpy farmer is always a quick, easy target whenever bad things happen. Eustace will randomly absorb any non-kill night power with which a player in his vicinity (meaning above or below him in a current poll) is targeted by a Mafia team member. The range will increase by 1 with every civilian mislynch and decrease by 1 with every mafia death (with the chance to drop to 0), regardless if he absorbs any power or not throughout a Night phase.





Secondary characters (11)




Policeman
'Hmmm'
He's a policeman, so...

Accuracy of the Policeman's role checks will worsen by 20% after every civ-alligned lynch and improve back by the same percentage (maxing at 100%) with every non-civ alligned lynch. False results will always be randomized. The Policeman's accuracy checks will not worsen below 20%.


Dr. Vindaloo
'Just keep soakin' it'
He's a doctor, so...

Dr. Vindaloo's power is traditional, hence not including healing/curing.


Nowhere Newsman
'Creepy stuff happens in Nowhere'
He's a reporter, so...



Professor Frith
Tracks every Night (Tracker style). In addition, can search to retrieve the Slab every Night. Also intercepts whatever [redacted] King Ramses [redacted]. If he successfully retrieves and holds on to the Slab for [redacted], he exits the game, victorious, and something else will happen. Professor Frith's tracking power will not be redistributed, if he exits the game.


Ma Bagge
For the purpose of the civilian wincon alone, Ma Bagge is considered a Protagonist subtitute for Eustace. Otherwise, vanilla.


Courage's Parents (2)
For the purpose of the civilian wincon alone, both parents are considered Protagonist substitutes for Courage. Either of them will appear as Courage if lynched, while Courage himself is still alive. If Courage dies before either of them, one of them will take over Courage's identity, but remain vanilla. Courage's parents also share BTSC.


Floyd
Becomes enraged when he receives votes or gets targeted. At the end of the fourth cycle in which he receives votes or is targeted, whichever cumulates first, if not lynched or killed by then, his rage will make him and, randomly, one of his voters or targeters explode.


Computer
'...you twit'
Has the answer to all your problems and the remedy to all your needs...you twits.
Each Night, Computer can help a player that has been afflicted or reward someone with a prize, but it will also challenge them first. The first players from each category (in need of a cure / seeking a prize) to PM the host with their requests, starting with the beginning of the Night phase, will get selected. Computer will give them a challenge to perform in the thread during the next Day phase; at the end of that phase, a winner will be declared. Winners cannot return with a new request on consecutive Nights. Computer will not be told the nature of the request from any participant involved. [Secrets]


Shirley the Medium
Cannot be lynched. Can curse or aid a player during every Night. [Secrets]


Space Dino
Hangs out in space, casually swinging his racket at various objects. Redirects every Night any power a player of his choice is targeted with to a random second player.





Katz
'I wish you hadn't done that'
Katz can release during each Night one of three spiders to attack a target:

Spider with purple head and red abdomen - Poisons its target, making it start every subsequent Day phase with a cumulative extra vote, until it's cured.
Spider with blue head and grey & dark striped abdomen - Paralyses its target, preventing it from posting during the subsequent Day phase.
Spider with red head and blue abdomen - Wraps its target in a web, preventing it from voting during the subsequent Day phase.

Katz must use all his spiders once before he can use them again. He permanently loses any spider that gets blocked or fails to successfully attack its target. Katz will be second in line to inherit the kill. If he kills, he cannot use his night power at the same time.


The Chicken from Outer Space
Kills nightly and finds out the victim's role. Once in the game, Chicken can also steal and use its target's power (or randomly one of several powers, in case its targets has more than one). If he kills, he cannot use his night power at the same time.


Dr. Le Quack
'Que-ce que c'est?'
Every odd Night, Le Quack can hit a target in the head with his mallet, blocking that target. Every even Night, Le Quack can hypnotize a target and force its vote during the subsequent Day phase.
Le Quack will be third in line to inherit the kill. If he kills, he cannot use his night power at the same time.


Snowman
'Prepare to meet your doom' [Secrets]



King Ramses
'Return the slab'
Cannot be night killed. [Secrets]

4. Voting in the Day 0 poll is mandatory.
5. Only lynch flips will be revealed. Nightkill flips or any other deaths will not.

0. Please abide by all the rules as best as possible. Modkilling may be a direct measure, depending on severity of any violation.

I experience deja vu every moment of my life

I voted for a thing.

Switched my vote to myself.

it's a me, mario

Sup

one time i met a real ghost

at wendy's

I’m not a big rollercoaster person, and the most visceral fear I’ve ever felt was on whatever that giant 12-second ride at Cedar Point is called. My body screamed without my brain’s input.

in the wendys parking lot

Walked down to our kitchen because i heard our cat meow (for food assumingly) . When i got down a cat i hadn't seen before looks me straight in the eyes for 2 seconds and then darts out the open door at maximum speed.

I once went to a Pearl Jam concert in England and, after it was over, found myself alone, not being able to find any taxis (big show in a small city means they were all busy) and running low on battery phone. I managed to follow some other tourists into a hotel, where I waited until I managed to grab a taxi that was delivering someone else, so it took me to the other hotel I was staying in. It was one of the scariest nights of my life, even though nothing bad actually happened, because I was alone, with no means of going back home, and in an unknown city in a foreign country.

when i went on the Jurassic Park ride at universal studios I was confident I was going to die at the TRex drop cus I was the skinniest person in my row and there was only one harness, i was basically just sitting in a regular chair plummeting to my death in front of a robot dinosaur

This one:

I mean, uh, one time I saw a wolf. At night. Through the window of my car. It was a good distance away from me. Actually, on reflection, it might've just been a dog.

10-year-old me was pretty spooked when a tree by my house was struck by lightning and it had a floodlight on it hooked up to our electrical system and everything went out and shards of wood fell all over the yard and I was home alone and didn't understand what was happening

What is a jumpscare? And what is angleshooting? One night Rico appeared to me in a dream and told me not to get the phone that was ringing in my dream. The next day I broke my leg trying to get to the phone. Moral of the story: always do what Rico says. It was still spooky though. Kyle, what ghost did you meet? And hello everyone!

oh wow tons of linki

Uhm, at this point i think we're venturing over from spooky stories to traumatical experiences. :scared:

Wasn't night :p

I had a dream once where hermit crabs could combine to become hermit crab megazord gundams and I haven't been the same since

Tenth!

Can I have a precise definition of “double targeting”? I also don’t know what is meant by “angleshooting” either.

sig wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 7:52 pmTenth!

This doubles over as a scary moment imagine me ME getting tenth and not first or second.

And yes, I did read the rule before I started I just um figured I didn't need to err explain myself.

I've never told anyone because I try not to think about it, it's just too weird. I had a dream about dunya once too - she was a princess! That dream was pleasant.

A jumpscare is like someone jumping out at you usually screaming which results in you getting so scared you jump.

I can't properly explain angleshooting its basically though trying to use out of game information or host posts/questions to clear yourself.

Thanks sig!

On the topic of pleasant dreams. When I was little I was reeeally looking forward to the day I was gonna visit the amusement park, and the night before I was gonna go I had a full-fledged dream about my visit to the amusement park, and then I went home, happy with my visit. And then I woke up and realised I hadn't even went yet. Best dream ever.

Angle shooting is any usage of outside info to figure the game out. Most classic one is asking players to describe the civ PM to see if they actually know what it looks like. Or looking at the time they are posting, stuff like that.

Nice dream Fractal and welcome to your first game with us. If you have any questions about the mechanics of the site just ask. Or if it's about other things reach out to Riccochet or the mod, Epignosis.

gotcha, thanks

I really want to go to Cedar point someday, seems like an amazing park.
