It was payday weekend. I was spending my time playing a first-person shooter with viruses as the enemies. I grabbed the joystick, ran into this hall, and fired the laser gun I had—to take out my CPU. The two viruses left—Panther and Theta—started gaining on me.
Suddenly, I saw sparks. Not on the screen, actually coming from stuff on the desk. Before I knew it, neither my joystick nor my keyboard worked. The viruses would consume my in-game character—and the rest of my computer. We know where the rest of my money's going...
I decided to switch on the TV and watch the news. A hacker—namely, PieMan—was arrested here in Chaparral for breaking into computers and infecting them with viruses. The news story claimed that Panther, Theta, and Yellow were his creation, but I knew him well enough to know that the arrest to be, at least in part, wrongful. He wasn't into viruses all that much, preferring spamming and breaching security systems.
It would be a depressing day for me. I had spent at least $1,000 across several paychecks to build this thing and everything was rendered inoperable in four days. Not my poor machine...

Ademisk, you are a
. You make the perfect medium for making wanted posters, and through you the IT department will know who is sending my computer viruses.
Each night, you may PM me the name of a player you would like to investigate. I will tell you whether that player investigates as innocent or guilty to you. You will repeat this process until the end of the game or you die, whichever happens first. If you decide not to investigate a certain night, it'd be nice if I know. You are not allowed to investigate yourself.

roleblocker) and the Yellow virus (UncertainKitten, who is a
one-shot bulletproof goon, have infested my computer and plotted to corrupt it and make me go buy a new one.
Each night, I need you to decide on a player whom you want to kill, if any, and which of you will PM me the hit. In addition, I need you specifically to tell me whom, if any, you would like to tailor and Nobody Special specifically to tell me whom, if any, he would like to roleblock. The former's target will investigate as the opposite of what he or she normally does to a sane cop that same night, and any attempt by the latter target to use a night action will fail. The first attempt to nightkill UncertainKitten, regardless of who makes it or whom Nobody Special roleblocks, will also fail. You will repeat this process until the end of the game or you die, whichever happens first. You are not allowed to nightkill yourself or your partners or tailor yourself (you
ARE
, however, allowed to tailor your partners), nor is Nobody Special allowed to roleblock himself.

On you are four executable programs: azure.exe, night.exe, regency.exe, and wisteria.exe. Each night, you may select which program to run and on whom. One of them investigates the target, one of them protects the target, one of them gives the target a temporary post restriction and one of them does nothing. Unfortunately, you don't know which program does what, and unless the execution gets roleblocked, the programs can only be run once before getting corrupted. You will repeat this process until the end of the game or you die, whichever happens first. If you decide not to run a program a certain night, it'd be nice if I know. You are not allowed to run a program on yourself.

- The Mafia quicktopic title "4D 61 66 69 61 20 51 54" is how you write "Mafia QT" in hexadecimal. I picked it because it's a neat 256 bits in length.
- The USB drive's program's actions were originally not given in the role PM and fixed as azure.exe protecting, night.exe doing nothing, regency.exe post-restricting and wisteria.exe doing the voyeur peek. Charlie suggested I tell what the programs might do, and after animorpherv1 reviewed the resulting change and commented that night.exe might be too obvious of a name for the dud program, I decided to randomize the actions.
- Expect to get complaints about vigging in LYLO, screl1. Hitting a town-aligned player gave the Mafia the win.
