The following Drawception users provided the artwork for our non-town members, both the werecreatures and cocaine polar bear (not always with those exact prompts).
You are cocaine polar bear. You may safely claim to be a polar bear.
Polar bears are the only hypercarnivorous bear species, and the largest land carnivore, with males reaching up to 1500lb. They spend most of their time on the sea ice, and while they have no natural threats, humans and the effects they’ve had on the environment have led to population declines. They depend heavily on sea ice for hunting and for their courtship and mating behaviors. A male may follow a female for 60 miles or more, before fighting other males in the area for mating rights. Outside of the mating season and mothers with cubs, polar bears are solitary and their territorial aggression can lead to intense fights with any intruders.
Incidentally, giving a polar bear cocaine would be a terrible idea…
You are aligned only with yourself.
Your base role is serial killer. During any night phase numbered with either “1” or a prime number (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc…), you may select a player. That player will be killed.
You have one community role. Each night phase, the first base role ability you are targeted with by a member of your own community will automatically fail unless it is a protective ability. This does not apply to a factional kill ability.
Your win condition is to reach the end of the game as the sole survivor (or to achieve day phase parity with town in a one vs. one situation). If you reach day phase parity with only a single member of the werecreatures team, you will either lose the game (if they have a kill that night and you do not) or the game will end in a draw (if each of you has a kill that night).
I'm going to be trapped in a Zoom meeting for a while and might not be able to lift the post cap. Nobody is close to it anyway, so just ignore it for the remainder of Day 6. Hopefully the meeting doesn't drag total ass and delay me at the end of the day phase, but please bear with me if I am a slowpoke.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a simple google image search for ‘quokka’ would fill volumes. These adorable little guys have minimal fear of humans, and so have become a favorite subject of professional and amateur wildlife photographers alike. Quokka “selfies” have circulated the internet for nearly a decade, and this popularity has increased awareness of the species’ struggle with habitat loss and subsequent population declines.
You are aligned with the town faction.
Your base role is broadcaster. During each locked night phase, you may write a post to be broadcast to the game thread through the hosts (as in, you send us the post and we post it). You may write anything in this post other than revealing your own identity. You are permitted to claim the role normally, but you may not do so within a broadcast. Please also try to avoid backdoor claims within a broadcast (such as making reads on every player except for yourself) or other such angleshooting. If you have questions about the intended spirit of this role, just ask the hosts.
You do not have a community role.
Your win condition is to eliminate all threats to the town faction.
Day 6 is underway. You have 24 hours to eliminate someone. Post capping process doesn't change.
You are a weremoose. You may safely claim to be a moose.
When you think of deer, herds of small, docile herbivores probably come to mind. While moose are part of the deer family, they can sometimes be anything but docile. While they are certainly still herbivorous, males during the breeding season and females with calves can be some of the most dangerous animals in the world because of their propensity for aggression. These not-so-gentle giants are also natural swimmers, and in some areas of their range can be predated on by orcas while foraging in the water. Still, most other animals won’t cross an angry moose.
You are aligned with the werecreatures faction.
Your base role is 2-shot watcher. Twice during the game during any separate night phases, you may select a player. You will be told who targeted that player if anyone. This ability is loud.
You do not have a community role.
Your win condition is to eliminate all threats to your team and achieve parity with the town faction.
The werecreatures faction has been eliminated.
Their nightly kill has been inherited by another killing faction.
Night 5 will last 24 hours, and please submit your actions to the hosts by 8:00 PM Wednesday. You may submit private votes again if you wish to reduce the game to 24/24, but it must be unanimous to proceed. Please do not discuss this vote publicly in any capacity.
Humans were so drawn to wild pigs that they domesticated them twice - 10,000 years ago near modern day Turkey, and again 8,000 years ago in the Mekong Valley. Despite their status as livestock and even being deemed unclean, pigs are now known to have complex psychology and intelligence that rivals dogs. They are becoming more popular as pets, though unfortunately many people do not realize that even the “micro mini” pigs reach 100 pounds or more, and can get up to a lot of mischief.

You are a black domestic shorthair werecat. You may safely claim to be a black domestic shorthair cat.
While the most common myths about black cats are negative, in some cultures they have more positive connotations. In Japan, a black cat crossing your path is good luck, and if one appears on your doorstep in Scotland, tradition suggests you will be coming into money. Regardless of the mythology, black cats are beautiful creatures, with all the stealth of any other domestic cat and the extra benefits of their dark coats to keep them out of sight.

Your base role is 3-shot even-night role cop. Three times during the game during any separate even-numbered night phases, you may select a player. You will be told that player’s base role ability.
You have one community role. Once during the game during any night phase, you may elect to janitor your team’s factional night kill. The killed player’s role will be hidden from public view, but you will be made aware of it. You may only target a member of The Syndicate for this ability to function.
Your win condition is to eliminate all threats to your team and achieve parity with the town faction.
Night 4 will last 24 hours. Please have your actions to the hosts by 8:00 PM EDT Sunday.
And not just any frog! You are an adorable little poison dart frog. The poison dart frogs and poison arrow frogs comprise a group of over 170 species of brightly colored, highly toxic animals. It is their diet that provides them with the deadly toxin though, so they are completely harmless in captivity.

Initial listen: Ah Powerwolf. Of course. All about the Crusades, not very creature-y content-wise.

You are a calico domestic shorthair werecat. You may safely claim to be a calico domestic shorthair cat.
Calico cats are the result of unique coat genetics that cause splotches of orange, black, and white. They are considered a good luck charm in some cultures - Japanese fishermen used to bring them onto their ships as protection from storms, and the famous Japanese Beckoning Cat is placed in business and home entrances for good luck. While most calico cats are female, a rare few are males with an extra X chromosome. Unfortunately the males are not so lucky, as their genetic abnormalities often cause health issues.

Your base role is 1-shot impatient poisoner. Once during the game during any night phase no later than Night 2, you may select a player. That player will be poisoned, and they will not be informed of this. If not cured, they will die at the end of the following day phase.
You have one community role. Once during the game during any night phase, you may select a player from your own community. That player will be immune to all role blocking abilities, from both role blockers and jailkeepers. Note that this does not apply to piercing protective abilities or commuter abilities. This ability is loud.
Your win condition is to eliminate all threats to your team and achieve parity with the town faction.
Night 3 will last 24 hours until 10:00 PM EDT. Please have all night actions submitted by 8:00 PM EDT.
Additionally, we are opening a vote to [possibly] reduce the length of the game cycles from 48/24 to 24/24. Please vote for your choice, to reduce or not reduce, in your private Discord channel. Please do NOT discuss this vote or this change (or non-change) in any capacity in the game thread moving forward.
We will only change the lengths of the cycles if the vote is unanimous. We will count non-votes as "yes, reduce it", so if you don't want this make sure you clearly tell us that. We'll reveal at the end of the night phase whether or not this is happening.
You are a werefalcon. You may safely claim to be a falcon.
There are almost 40 species of falcon widely distributed across all continents except Antarctica. Unlike hawks, eagles, and some other birds of prey that kill with their feet, falcons kill with their sharp beaks. Kestrels are objectively the best of the falcon species in every way, and no arguments will be accepted on this point. Their typical hunting behavior distinguishes them from other small raptors - they hover and then swoop down on their prey, rather than actively hunting in the air.

It is easy to see why humans have always felt a connection to these social, intelligent animals. But make no mistake - the dogs of today are not wolves, no matter how much the pet food companies try to tell you they are. Gray wolves are apex predators, using their excellent teamwork and communication to hunt down prey much larger than themselves with skill and precision.

You are a werealligator. You may safely claim to be an alligator.
There are only two extant species of alligator - the American alligator and the Chinese alligator- though many more are known from the fossil record. They are actually more closely related to the caimans than to crocodiles, and are most easily distinguishable from the latter by their wider, u-shaped snouts and the fact that only their upper teeth are visible when their mouths are closed. Coming across one in the wild might not be the best time for a close dental inspection, though.

Your base role is 2-shot jailkeeper. Twice during the game during any night phases, you may select a player. That player will be protected from all fatal night actions, and they will also be unable to perform any night actions. This ability is loud.
You have one community role. Once during the game during any night phase, you may select a player exclusively from the Student Doctor Network community. That player will be rendered temporarily insane, and for the following day phase they will be forced to write every post in the form of a doctoral dissertation title (e.g., “The Perils of Playing Role Madness Mafia: An Experimental Fool’s Errand”).

Of the four commonly accepted giraffe species, the Masai are the darkest, and can be distinguished by the jagged edges of their spots. While they are not the most imperiled of giraffes, they are endangered, suffering from poaching outside protected areas and loss of calves to predation within protected areas. Giraffes only sleep for 5 - 30 minutes a day, meaning they can spend the rest of their time gazing across the savannah from their high vantage point, keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity.

While most people think of the red fox, there are actually twelve species in the true fox group, found in various parts of the world. They are united by their omnivorous diet, small size, upright triangular ears, and bushy tail. The gray fox and the bat-eared fox are not in the same clade as the true foxes, forming their own individual groups. Culturally, foxes tend to be associated with sneakiness and cunning.

Your base role is 1-shot patient voyeur. Once during the game during any night phase later than Night 2, you may select a player. You will be told what type of role ability that player was targeted with that night, if any (the type is general, e.g., protective, investigative, fatal, etc.).
You have one community role. During each night phase, you may select a player. That player will receive up to 50 posts toward your post cap, gifted to them over their post cap (you can provide any number of posts up to 50, just remember that this reduces your own post cap). You may only target members of the opposite community with this ability. This ability is optional.

The mantis shrimp may be small but it is mighty. They are highly aggressive and territorial, using either sharp or club-like appendages to stab or club their enemies and prey, depending on the species. They can even cause injuries to humans if they aren’t handled with care! Their punch is so fast it results in ‘cavitation’ bubbles with a small flash of light, which for a moment generates temperatures nearly as hot as the sun in the surrounding water.

Your base role is 3-shot vote distributor. Three times during the game during any separate night phases, you may select a player.

This pretty little finch’s call can be heard in the brushy habitats of the temperate forests and shrublands across the Himalayas. While the males are blessed with gorgeous pink feathers, the females are more drab to help them blend in with their surroundings and conceal their nests.

- AM asking Neon about Seanzie seems towny, trying to avoid getting tunneled
- Sporty mafia/wolves question
- Marmot leans Dennis wolf as of #524
- falcon indirectly shades Scotty in #540 (while doming Zenge)
- Sporty kinda shady in the early going..?
- Sporty had reservations about the miranda wagon in #558 but never moved off
- Not liking falcon early, trying to bail out of his Zenge push
- Marmot doing a meta search to see if Neon uses "wolf" is interesting
- pyxxy spoilered their vote explanation. Really not sure I like it, #624
- Neon pointed out how hedgy and weird it is
- Zenge's staying spicy
- PSV thinks Sloonei's reaction to the Zenge/falcon thing is weird in #657
- Sloonei's definitely right that Zenge is misrepresenting him tho
- PSV asking Nate why he’s voting Zenge makes sense in context, she was town reading Z at that point
- #698 - PSV downplaying the unpair of her/Sporty is towny, and pyxxy's response kind of is also (sure it could be faked, but wolves often don't bother)
- Zenge is really insistent that Sloonei offer an opinion on his falcon push. Not really thinking w!Zenge draws that much attention to it..? (#722)
- He's kind of being a jerk about it tho
- The Dennis v/v read of Zenge/falcon is really surface-level in #726 (it's also a quote of Zenge/Sloonei)
- AM pushing back on PSV townreading miranda is interesting #733
- PSV asking about the "split" on falcon p15 is interesting
- Does Zenge respond to Sloonei's disinterest in his argument?
- pyxxy role-fishing in #789? 3p stuff is also odd
- Dennis townread on AM is really fluffy in #790 (she's serious)
- falcon points out the pyxxy role fish
- pyxxy thinks falcon is trying to break his meta
- falcon's vote for Nate was basically a naked vote while backing off Zenge
- Does he follow up with Nate at all..?
- I don't really follow #832 by Dennis (pyxxy 3p sus is towny actually for some reason)
- Seanzie thinks falcon is playing weird in #853
- Creature shows up, townreads Dennis based on #832, and naked votes Nate
- Does Zenge follow up on his question to PSV in #872? (wants her opinion on Sloonei asking miranda about how she'll approach the game)
- Seanzie gives Marmot a town lean in #875 and I'm not sure why. The Dennis read..?
- falcon moves to Creature over his vote for Nate, when he himself was voting for Nate
- Zenge is pushing things with falcon and trying to cite other people to do so, strikes me as off.
- mighty seems fine in early posts, actually making reads.
- mayo's question to miranda in #940 seems mildly like piling on.
- Neon picking at falcon's townread of her in #962 looks towny
- dya a little pockety with AM right off the bat
- Slight wolf ping on miranda in #1022 pointing out that Neon made the same point and didn't get suspected for it.
- Zenge puts words in Seanzie's mouth in #1027, "potentially outing"
- Waiting to see if Zenge responds to Seanzie moving his vote to Sloonei
- Sloonei's breakdown of the argument in #1056 looks pretty towny
- SVS seems towny in #1083. Interesting opinion on falcon that they think falcon would have backed off
- Seanzie supported the Scotty wagon without voting there pretty early in #1091
- Zenge weirdly aggro with Sporty right away around #1109
- Scotty reads sort in #1168: Towny - mighty/seanzie/nate/creature/falcon/sloonei/sporty Wolfy - pyxxy/marmot/santy/miranda/dennis
- Sloonei bolstering a town read of genny in #1173 looks good
- SVS "hey me too I also mentioned it" is interesting tho #1175
- Continued defensiveness from miranda in #1179 about the different response to Neon vs her
- Defensiveness from Dennis in #1192
- Sloonei's the 2nd vote on Scotty
- Then supports the idea in #1238 that Creature has a volume tell (but hedges it)
- mayo's Creature vote is in pyxxy's vote count at #1239 but I don't see any vote in thread
- Dennis comes on to defend low posters in #1240 (presumably Creature), but doesn't apply that to miranda (asks about her in the next post)
- falcon accuses Marmot of jumping on bandwagons in #1268 when Marmot hasn't voted..
- SVS pointing out that Sporty keeps asking about Creature in #1299 looks good for SVS
- Sloonei expresses reservations about the Scotty wagon in #1338
- dya's Scotty vote seemed genuine, noticing that Scotty had voted for dennis over pyxxy
- mighty jumping on it is kinda out of nowhere tho
- Sporty would go Scotty over Creature
- pyxxy's "pocketing" stuff still seems weird re: dya/sporty
- Sporty kind of agrees though
- pyxxy's leading question to dya in #1604 is odd (if you say yes I'll townlean you)
- Sporty offering light shade of Santy in #1609 is notable
- Marmot saying Scotty/Santy look partnered is an odd angle to take if they had TMI of Scotty's flip. Could have been justifying a Scotty vote tho, since they moved there shortly after
- pyxxy backing completely off dya could be appease-y (#1657)
