Welcome to Portland!
It has been talked about for months, but finally it is upon us: JeepFest, a get-together of scummers and GL'ers. One by one, the guests arrive, some announced, some surprise visitors. It would have been one hell of a party, if not for the fact that some of you have more sinister intentions than having a good time.....
The player names are a mix of names of people who will attend the actual party and other well-known names from one (or both) of the two sites. Several of the actual participants of JeepFest are left out of the players, something the baddies are aware of. This should spoil any suggestions of an early mass claim.
RULES
[01] Have fun and don't be a jerk. Please have consideration for the other players and the mod, and actually PLAY the game by posting and voting.
[02] No communication outside the thread unless your role allows you to do so and then only in the game's nights.
[03] Get your choices in before the deadlines. If not, a random choice will be made for the first night, and no choice for subsequent nights.
[04] No quoting my or others emails/PMs. *
[05] If you're dead YOU'RE DEAD. No more posting relevant information after that.
[06] Lynching will be carried out once a regular majority is reached - and cannot be undone by unvoting. If I impose a day deadline, lynching will require at least half of the regular majority. In case of a tie, first come first served. In the endgame (six players or less) only lynches with a regular majority will occur. Votes for no lynch will be accepted.
[07] Only votes in BOLD will be counted. Please clearly unvote if you want to change your vote.
[08] Do NOT edit or delete your posts! If you made a coding error, just post again.
[09] Do NOT post in invisible text.
[10] It is risky to lynch someone based on spelling errors in their role name. I have been known to make some in the set-up of my games.
[11] The mod is always right. Accept the decisions, and if you want to discuss them, take it to email, or do so after the game has finished.
*) The role messages sent out to those not evil have the same structure - I have given the townie one as the example:
Player name: Duh
Role name: DRAGON PHOENIX
Generic role: TOWNIE
Flavour: You have come here to have a good time. It is not going to happen though. Too bad that you do not have special abilities to help the town.
Night actions: none
Winning condition: you win when all the bad ones are out of the game and at least one good one is still around.
Confirm by PM and make your first night choice if applicable.
Deadline for first night: Wednesday 8PM GMT.
You are allowed to quote verbatim your role name and the generic role. For the rest, you need to paraphrase.
Revealed roles, other than townie and scum:
Player name: SaberKitty
Role name: TALITHA
Generic role: DOCTOR
Flavour: The US is not exactly the same as New Zealand, but that your eagerly anticipated meeting would turn up like this was not in your plans. As a mother of young children, you have picked up sufficient first-aid skills to help out though.
Night actions: Every night you can send me an IM with the name of one player you can heal from a single attack (a double attack will kill anyway); you cannot protect yourself.
Winning condition: you win when all the bad ones are out of the game and at least one good one is still around.
Player name: rolandofthewhite
Role name: MACKAY
Generic role: ROLE NAME FINDER
Flavour: How you have looked forward to this, and what a deception this is turning out to be. There is something you can do for the town though. You can get information on players by snogging the mod....
Night actions: every night you can send me an IM with the name of one player you want to know the role name of.
Winning condition: you win when all the bad ones are out of the game and at least one good one is still around.
Player name: Mr Stoofer
Role name: HYTOFRY
Generic role: SERIAL KILLER
Flavour: You used to be the big shot running the GL after the site owner took a sabbatical. Now, hardly anybody thinks of you - they did not even send you an invitation to this get-together! Well, you showed up anyway, and you are determined to teach them a lesson.
Night actions: Send me a name of a player you want to take out of the game every night. You will take out their eyeballs with your famous two-fingered Hy-original salute. A cop will not be able to detect you.
Winning condition: you win when everyone else is out of the game - even if you are out as well.
Player name: Fuldu
Role name: NONNY
Generic role: ROLE BLOCKER
Flavour: This JeepFest get-together is a dream come true. It will be like a big AIM chat session, but then live.... however, now that things are turning nasty, you can use this in the towns favour - if you chat to a person all night, he or she cannot do what they intended.
Night actions: Every night you can send me an IM with the name of one player you want to stop carrying out his or her night action.
Winning condition: you win when all the bad ones are out of the game and at least one good one is still around.
Player name: peacebringer
Role name: HEY_HERB
Generic role: JUNKIE
Flavour: You are the co-host and determined to do all you can to stop this killing. People think you chose your screen name because your name is Herb. No. You are actually called Charlie but your love of "the herb" made you opt for H_H. Now it is time to take it one step further. Every night if you want to, you can pick a name, take a shit load of LSD, and get a strange vision of the player you chose, which will be related to his/her actions that night. The effects of the vision (and the drugs) leave you whacked out all day, so you're only allowed to make one post. If you choose to not use your ability at night, you can post freely.
Night actions: every night if you want you can send me an IM with the name of one player you want to get a vision of. Take care of your restriction if you do so, as I will modkill you straight away the first time you go wrong.
Winning condition: you win when all the bad ones are out of the game and at least one good one is still around.
Player name: Commodore Amazing
Role name: CADMIUM
Generic role: ONE-SHOT VIGILANTE
Flavour: Wow. Cloggie does the States. It would have been great, except for the recent developments.... However, as chance would have it, you have something in your luggage that can help the town. The KLM stewardess that served you the cheese on your flight in should have known better. Then again, dropping the cheese into your hand luggage was also not a bright move. When you unpacked it, you found it had gone all green and hairy. Which is great with French cheese, but not with Edam. On the positive side, you can use this to give someone acute food poisoning and taking them out of the game..... too bad, there is only enough cheese to do this once.
Night actions: only one night of the game you can send me an IM with the name of one player you want to take out of the game.
Winning condition: you win when all the bad ones are out of the game and at least one good one is still around.
Player name: the silent speaker
Role name: INTERNET STRANGER
Generic role: COP
Flavour: Traveling all the way from Miami to Portland, eager to meet (again) some of your GL and scum friends, you suddenly find out that your mafia hunting skills will be tested in the real world. Let's see whether you can really sniff them out.
Night actions: Send me a name every night and I will tell you mafia/not mafia. A Godfather or a serial killer will show up as not mafia.
Winning condition: you win when all the bad ones are out of the game and at least one good one is still around.
