ROLES
---------------------------
In case you didn't notice, each role started with a letter of D-O-D-E-C-A-H-E-D-R-O-N. 12 players, 12 letters, 12 faces on a die.
* 3 "D"s - Dice-rolling Mafia. [talk and kill at night as a group] -CoolBot, Dmi, Lt. Origen.
You are a part of the Dice-rolling Mafia! (cue dramatic music here). During a blackout you may communicate with your partners _______ and ________, and decide whose lucky number has come up and who gets to roll them. PM me with your choice after you have decided, as well as who will perform the deed. When the lights are on, you try to look like anybody else. You win when everyone but your side is dead.
* 2 "O"s - Orderly Orderly. [protect] - Coron and niMic
You are an Orderly Orderly, very organized at your job at the local hospital; you're not finished with your medical training, but you may be able to offer some hope of saving them from a critical wound. PM me with who you'd like to roll up in bandages during the blackouts, if anyone. When the lights are on, your job is to discover who the scum are and vote for them. You win when only people on your side remain.
* 2 "E"s - E-mail Junkie (Mason). [communicate at night] - Dragon Phoenix and Locus Cosecant
You are an E-mail Junkie, and since it takes two, you're not alone. During a blackout you may communicate with _____ by text messaging them on your cell-phone (PM). When the lights are on, your job is to discover who the scum are and vote for them. You may not communicate by PM when the lights are on, or if one of you is dead. You win when only players on your side remain (this includes the rest of the town
).
* 1 "C" - Cunning Serial Killer. [kill at night solo] - help im a bug
You are a Cunning Serial Killer, and you're on nobody's side but your own! When a blackout hits, send me a PM with who you'd like to try to kill. When the lights are on you should try to look like anybody else and let suspicion roll off of you. You win when everyone else is dead! Muahahaha!
Postscript: I decided this role would be a LARPer; it merely added "drama" flavor to his attacks.
* 1 "A" - Atypical Gamer. - Iammars
You're an Atypical Gamer; want to know why? Because you're female! Besides the power that may imply over your poorly socialized friends, the only action you get is to vote while the lights are on and find out who's side the lynching victim is on, hoping they're scum. Roll yourself up into bed when the lights go out, for you have no night actions. You win when only pro-town players remain.
* 1 "H" - Helpful Gamer. - Internet Stranger
You are nothing but a Helpful Gamer, trying to determine what side people are on and vote for them while the lights are on. During a blackout, you might as well roll over and get some sleep, for you have no choices or actions. You win when only the pro-town players remain.
* 1 "R" - Regular Gamer. - milkman
You're just a Regular Gamer, which means you have no actions during a blackout, so you might as well roll over and get some rest. While the lights are on, you're trying to discover who is not on your side and vote for them. You win the game if the pro-town players are the only ones remaining.
* 1 "N" - Night Watchman. [following 'cop'] - The_Machine86
You're a Night Watchman, which means you're a little bleary-eyed and sidetracked. This is because you go out during the rolling blackout periods, back to doing your job. Send me a PM with who you'd like to trail after, and I'll let you know if they do anything noteworthy.
When the lights come back on, you must not oversleep or you will be unable to put the 1st vote on someone; your first post of the day must come within 24 hours of the lights coming on, though you don't have to vote immediately in that post. You may use/tell any information you have gained about them, though, and once someone else votes for the person you want, you are free to do so. You win when all of the scum are dead and you can finally get some rest.
SPECIAL NIGHT FEATURES
---------------------------------
A lot of people wondered what the dice-rolling was all about as dark fell. To tell the truth: not too much. It changed a few results of night actions down the line, but largely was there for flavor in line with the 'gaming' theme. All roles get a critical failure on a roll of 1, critical success on a roll of 12.
Nd12 in thread for all surviving players at dark, apply each down the line, send PMs as appropriate.
Mafia: 1 means kill fails, 12 means 200% chance of success.
Orderly: 1 means the target dies of complications, 12 means 200% success.
E-mail junkie: 1 means their server is down [can't send messages, only receive; send them to Mod instead], 12 means they may text message once during the day, by sending it to the Mod for relaying.
Serial Killer: 1 means kill fails, 12 means 200% chance of success.
Night watchman: 1 means investigation fails utterly, 12 means they learn their role and guilt/innocence, target, etc.
Townie: They get a free night protection on a 12 (in the bathroom), no posting ability for that day on a 1 (still in the bathroom).

NIGHT ACTIONS
-----------------------
Night One
niMic protected help im a bug.
Coron saved Locus Cosecant from an attack by help im a bug.
Lt. Origen eliminated Coron for the mafia.
The_Machine86 investigated Dragon Phoenix, finding him doing nothing but tapping on his cell phone.
milkman rolled a 12; he would have been 'in the bathroom' had anyone targeted him.
Day One
The_Machine86 violated his posting restriction, and therefore his vote for Lt. Origen didn't count.
The town lynched Iammars with (her) own help casting the sixth vote.
Night Two
Dragon Phoenix rolled a 1; had he sent any text messages, they would have been delayed until the lights came back on due to a "server outage". He happened to be out of town during that time anyway, so it didn't matter.
niMic's rolled a 12; his protection of Internet Stranger would have been 200% effective if needed.
help im a bug rolled a 12; his attack on Dmi was 200% effective! Err, yeah.
The_Machine86 investigated Internet Stranger, and found him asleep every time he checked.
Lt. Origen eliminated niMic for the mafia, getting rid of the other protection role.
Day Two
The town lynched milkman.
Night Three
CoolBot rolled a 1; his attack on Dragon Phoenix failed when he dropped his Swiss Army knife.
help im a bug eliminated Internet Stranger.
The_Machine86 investigated Lt. Origen, finding him poring over treasure tables and rolling dice maniacally.
Day Three
The town lynched Lt. Origen on The_Machine86's investigation, with his partner casting the deciding vote.
Night Four
No special rolls.
help im a bug got rid of Dragon Phoenix.
CoolBot eliminated help im a bug all by himself.
The_Machine86 survived the night unscathed, surprisingly, and targeted Locus Cosecant, finding him tapping rapidly on his cell phone in the dark.
Day Five
CoolBot lynched by the remaining town.
*** Since this was my first modding of a game, I'm curious what feedback people have on my performance (you can comment here or by PM). I didn't expect the role names being 'flavored' to throw people off as much as it did, but you all figured it out pretty well once the Night Watchman came out with his results. I'm not sure if the scum left him alive in the end on purpose or not; I was fully expecting a Prisoner's Dilemma with a Mason, a Mafioso, and a Serial Killer in the endgame!**
