Roles, Night choices, and some comments
First, there were basically no traditional power roles in this game, with the exception of the roleblocker, but rather tweaks of roles that weakened them. For the most part, town didn't really need them, as xyzzy, xdaamno, and McStab were put under pressure at various times. (Sonicpulsar was fairly unlucky to get roleblocked at the time he did.)
I was hoping scum would take more of a chance at guessing names among the All-Stars.
There's one role that never got used at all this game, much to my dismay. That role is also my reason for making this game a day start game (and Nekka-Lucifer getting modkilled messed that up).
Mafia: xyzzy, Xdaamno, Sonicpulsar
You three, Xdaammo (Stephon Marbury), xyzzy (Steve Francis) and McStab (Nate Robinson), are part of the New York Knicks Point Guards mafia; you'll stop New York from being the laughing stock of the league by killing all of those so-called All-Stars.
Each night you may submit a name of a person to kill; you must also tell me which member of the mafia you wish to commit the nightkill.
You have already killed Shaquille O'Neal (Cop) and Jason Kidd. In particular Jason Kidd is a safe claim in this game.
You are mafia, and win when you control the lynch and the nightkill. Please confirm in thread.
Comment: The fact that Jason Kidd wasn't in the 2006 All Star Game completely slipped my mind. In my defense, I did provide a link giving the list of all 2006 All Stars in the first post. On day 3, when I realized my mistake (after Xdaamno had claimed Kidd), I sent mafia a PM giving them Tracy McGrady and Dwyane Wade as safe claims.
Choices:
N1: Sonicpulsar kills Haschel Cedricson
N2: Sonicpulsar kills IH
N3: Sonicpulsar kills The Central Scrutinizer (fails because of roleblock)
Power roles
Jack of All Trades: Nekka-Lucifer
You are LeBron James. As the next wunderkin of the NBA, you have the ability to do lots of things.
You are a Jack of All Trades. Each night you may choose to do one of the following things.
1. You may target any player in the game other than yourself for doc protection.
2. You may track any player in the game and see what night actions they perform.
3. You may watch any player in the game and see what night actions are performed on that player.
You may do each of the above three things at most once. (So once you use the doc protection, you can't use it again.)
You are protown, and win when all threats to the All Star Game have been stopped. Please confirm in thread.
Choices:
D1: Modkilled (annoying, but a discussion with Mr Stoofer basically made me decide it was necessary.)
Roleblocker: Yogurtbandit
You are Ben Wallace, defensive specialist and roleblocker. Each night you may submit the name of one living player in the game; they will be unable to perform any actions at night.
You are protown, and win when all threats to the All Star Game have been stopped. Please confirm in thread.
Choices:
N1: Block Xdaamno
N2: Block IH
N3: Block Sonipulsar
Mason Maker: Haschel Cedricson
You are Steve Nash. Your passing technique is instantly recognizable throughout the NBA.
You are a mason maker. At night, if you are not currently part of a mason, you may send me the name of one living player in the game. You will become a mason with that player and can talk with them at night. They will know your role name and that you are protown (you will not know any information about their role).
You are protown, and win when all threats to the All Star Game have been stopped. Please confirm in thread.
Choices:
N1: Target IH
Comments: This role was almost functionally equivalent to a role I had in Jelly Mafia, although I didn't realize that when I developed the game. I asked YogurtBandit to submit his choices early so I would know whether this role would be blocked or not; if not I let HC talk with his new mason before the night ended. Somehow IH was seen as protown for admitting to being HC's partner.
Tree Stump: Fletcher
You are Rasheed Wallace; with your temper you could be ejected from any game, even the All-Star game.
You are a
Tree Stump. At any point in the game, as long as you have not yet been lynched or night killed, you may say the phrase "These refs are stupid! Eject me!" (I would appreciate it if you sent me a PM telling me when you have used this phrase, but it is not necessary.) After saying this phrase, you will be considered dead for purposes of the game (in particular you lose the ability to vote), but you can continue to keep posting in the thread. Feel free to PM me if you have questions about this role.
You are protown, and win when all threats to the All Star Game have been stopped. Please confirm in thread.
Comment: This role affected parity conditions, and suggested a day start rather than a night start.
