Got my PM > [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > How bout a lot of doctors AND a lot of serial killers AND a lot of vigs? I was going to come in and say that there is only likely to be one serial killer and vig as the required killing would mean a very short game. Didn’t think of lots of doctors to counteract it. ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > Some preliminary thoughts: if we have to kill someone every day (or have a randomized vote if we don’t decide), then the death count will be high. Add to that the other mandatory death roles–not sure if we have them but assuming we have at least one other, isn’t this game going to go really fast? I mean, there are only fifteen players. well i seem to recall somewhere (idle’s board?) that **hoop** mentioned that it ought to take a month. and with two cycles per week that could potentially be eight cycles which would be a bunch. 'course, depending on how many nks go on we might also be looking for another game by next weekend. ---

Well, lucky for you the design of this game was all Hoopy, Nanook. He just brought me on board because…actually I’m not really sure why I am here. But I plan to make the most of it. And I accept your heartfelt apology for besmirching the good name of my last Great and Glorious Gastard Game. It \*was \*a great game that everyone enjoyed, including yourself. Glad you saw reason on that one. ---

\*\*A fireball streaks from the sky and slams into Chronos igniting him and sending him sprawling 20 feet backwards. As his body shrivels to a crisp, oddly enough, no one around him is even remotely singed. Chronos, a non-player, has been Smasterized! (I.e. Gasterd Smitten)\*\* ---

> [@Hoopy\_Frood](#): > > [Gastards’ Honest Truth] > 3) no claims or even paraphrasing of PMs will be allowed. > [/Gasterds’ Honest Truth] \ so quoting is ok then. Quote: You are a Vanilla Townie. But, hey, vanilla is a flavor, right? You’re not called “Plain Townie” after all! Yeah, you’re important! You can vote to lynch all interloping scum you have come to take over your town. Go you! Of course, so can everyone else, and they have additional powers to boot. So in the grand scheme of things you’re a wimp. Suck it up! You win when all threats to the town’s safety have been removed from the game. Quote: You are a Mafia Goon, your partners are \_\_\_\_\_, who are also Mafia Goons. All of you failed out of Mafia power-role school which is why you’re all just goons. You have to envy the Godfather’s from afar and deep down inside you know they make fun of your failures. Suck it up! Each night you may discuss the game at [insert location and password here]. Before Night’s end, you must send me via PM on the Straight Dope the name of a player who you want to eliminate from the game, and the Scum player who will be performing the kill. You win when all other players are eliminated or nothing can be done to prevent this from happening. Quote: You are a Cop. Everyone in town likes you because you can confirm them as town so they won’t get lynched, and you can out the scum so they’ll get lynched instead of a townie. At least that’s what they tell you to your face. In reality, they think you’re a self-important and aggrandizing prick who thinks he runs the damn place. Suck it up! Each night you may send me the name of a player. I will tell you whether that player is Mafia or Town. And there aren’t even any Godfathers or Millers to screw you up. Lucky you! You win when all threats to the town’s safety have been removed from the game. Quote: You are a Doc. Everyone in town likes you because you can protect them from dying. At least that’s what they tell you to your face. In reality, they think you’re a quack because you miss your protections most of the time. It’s a good thing you have a good lawyer because if you didn’t either the AMA (suck it non-Americans) would have revoked your license by now or the malpractice suits would have driven you into bankruptcy. Suck it up! Each night you may send me the name of a player. If that player is targeted for killing during the night, they will survive instead. You win when all threats to the town’s safety have been removed from the game. Quote: You are a Roleblocker. Everyone hates you because you thwart them. Town…Scum…doesn’t matter. Town probably hates you more, though, since you’re supposed to be on their side, but usually you end up blocking the Doc or the Cop while completely missing the Scum. Heck, maybe town should lynch you out of principle just so you don’t hurt their case. But suck it up! At least you can’t hurt the vanilla. Each night you may send me the name of a player. If that player would be taking an action that night, their action will fail. You win when all threats to the town’s safety have been removed from the game. Quote: You are a Vigilante, the coolest town role there is. Or so you like to think just because you have your own gun. In reality, you’re hated even more than the roleblocker. Because at least when the roleblocker fucks up he doesn’t directly kill an innocent. Yeah, nice shootin’, Tex! Even the vanilla invoke your name in blasphemous terms. Suck it up! Each night you must send me via PM on the Straight Dope the name of a player you want to target. You win when all threats to the town’s safety have been eliminated. Quote: You are a Serial Killer, the coolest role there is. Or so you like to think just because you have your own gun. In reality, you’re just an insane murderous creep with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Even the vig has a empathy and a conscience. Suck it up! Each night you must send me via PM on the Straight Dope the name of a player you want to target. You win when you are the last player alive or everybody is dead. i am definitely one of these unless i am not. and i certainly have the same description(s) unless they have been modified or edited or have been made up to fit a role that may not be listed in the above, if there are any. ---
