Yep I was a rezzer. I wonder who my role opposite was. Well done to us innocents.

Thank you to Twif for hosting this game

I'm sure she didn't bank on it running so long, lol.

:hug:

Wow, I guessed right at the end!

Yeah, innocents!

I was indeed the celeb, and had 3 lie detectors. What I said on the thread was true - I picked innocent as I didn't feel like lying about everything. Certainly didn't expect to be one of the two remaining people left in the game, though!

No clue who my opposite was, or if I ever guessed it correctly.

Twiz: :hug:

Wtg, Innocents!

Thank you, Twiz, for hosting a super fun game! I loved all the twists and turns. :hug:

I was so curious all game long what my two secret powers were, but they turned out to be very interesting. By the way, what exactly happened when I changed Syrill's destiny? I noticed Pardona (as Syrill) was not executed at first because his destiny was changed, but I don't know what it really did.

Also, what was the chance to rez someone after I used up my two definite rezzes? I'm guessing not very much considering Mongrel's frequent incorporeal visitations. lol

Who was responsible for the shooting stars? I though that was a very cool way to go.

Whoever was responsible for all those apple pies, I'd like to thank you.

They were very tasty!

Congrats Group 1.

Your sense of direction is far better than mine. lol Was there any advantage to completing the maze?

Yes, as was mentioned before, who was my opposite? What did finding your opposite do?

Um, I think that's all I had to comment/ask. I'm most likely forgetting something, though.

Edit:
Oh, yes. Miyu, you were an excellent father. Expect a fashionable tie next Father's Day.

Hey I wasn't a baddie Dyl. Here's my role

Quote:

Role Name: Ant-Lion
Team: Innocent
Role Information:
Your head is that of a lion and your body is that of an ant. However awesome that may sound, it brings some negative factors along with it. Basically, all the Lion head can eat is meat, and all the Ant body can digest is grain. So you are destined to die of starvation. Fun, eh?
Role Powers:
Bodyguard: Because you know you are only destined to die anyways, you have decided you might as well do something useful while you are at it. Before the end of night 1, send me a list of five names. The first person alive at the end of the night, you will dedicate your life to protecting. You cannot protect them from execution. If the person you are body guarding dies from execution, you will automatically begin to protect the next living person on the list you sent. Thus, if the four people below that person die, you must send in another as soon as possible.
Starvation: You start off with a hunger level of 150. Each night, depending on what you do during that day/night period, you will slowly starve and a number of hunger points will be taken off. How many hunger points you have left will affect the power of your shield. When you reach a hunger level of 0, you will die of starvation.
Mighty Strength: We’ve all heard that an ant can lift 20 times their body weight. So can an Ant-Lion, if it is not too hungry. Thus, once during the game, if your hunger level is over 75, you can take someone and lift them onto a large hedge of the maze. They will not be able to get down for the next day/night cycle, but neither will anyone be able to physically target them. Because of their height, they will be able to see what the correct moves for the next three days will be for their party.
Hunger Roar: Let’s face it. When people get hungry, they get a little… well… testy. Thus, once during the game, if your hunger level is under 75, you can let out a roar of annoyance because of your hunger. This roar will be so loud that it will frighten everyone into hiding and stop all other actions for that night.
Shield: 82
Daily lists not required.

Regan (who first started this role) chose to prtoect pixa which is why I died when he was attacked. Great job Twizz for hosting a very long and complex game. When you have time will you post role opposites? I'm also curious who mine was.

Role Name: Werecoyote
Team: Neutral
Role Information:
What fun is a Werewolf game if it doesn't have a Werewolf?! Well, you aren't a werewolf, per se, but Werecoyotes are -much- more fun. Instead of going around killing people, you go and play tricks on them, just like the Indian legend of Coyote! Much preferable, no?
Role Powers:
List Switch: Ah, the list switch... one of your favorite tricks in the book. Luckily, you can do it here! Every night, send in two lists of five players. The first people alive and at the time your role comes into play will have their lists switched.
Shifting Alliance: Some people say it is fun to play one side of the game, some another. Well, you think it's even more fun if you can play both sides of the game... and trick people while at it! Thus, if someone dreams of you, you will pretend to be whatever team they are on and results will be sent accordingly. However, you may not reveal any of your supposed “team mates.”
Bag of Tricks: You have a wonderful bag of tricks that you are just itching to use (and no, it's not because of fleas)! However, the items inside are limited so you can only use it every third day. When you use it, you will pull out an item from the bag. The item will then be able to be used at any time afterwards, however if you use the item you will not be able to use the List Switch power that same night.
Shield: 84

I'm curious as to what my list-switching was responsible for. *nudges Twiz*

:hug:

Yeah... I gave everyone high shields, almost counting on the randomizer being evil. Of course, it was then evil by randomizing only small numbers... for shame!

And apologies! I meant to post these last night, but I was called in to work concessions again. And then this morning I got caught up in reading a book... and as I was trying to post this, my internet spazzed and wouldn't let me do anything for HOURS.

The numbers you chose at the beginning were to decide what party you would be in if the teams split. Odd numbers went to Team One, and even numbers went to Team Two. The same basic theory would have applied if the teams had split again -- numbers like 2 and 6 would have gone to one team, while numbers like 4 and 8 would have gone to another.

No, completing the labyrinth didn't really have any bonuses. XD It was like a room system, only more complicated.

When you found your role opposite, you would get a 25% shield increase. If your role could use it, you also got it doubled for the next day/night cycle.

Role Opposites:

Roles:
When I was creating roles, I saw the name Cassandra and it gave me an idea for a whole baddie team. One that has kind of been used before, but whatever.

All but one of the Dragons of Chaos started out with a plain innocent role. I was hoping that because the team names weren't revealed in dreams, that Cassandra would dream of one of those players, find them evil, have them executed. Their dragon statue would break, and they would go up for execution again... and because their real role wouldn't be revealed until a full day/night cycle after their statue was broken, they would die as an "innocent" role. The dreamer would be declared as a fake, and executed themselves. =O Obviously, it didn't work out quite that way. XD

As for the resurrectors... Caladrius could resurrect those turned to stone, by drawing the stone out of them. Marduk could resurrect those killed by the Dragons of Chaos, by pouring the Elixir of Life on them. Both resurrectors could rez those who had been executed. Each of these methods would also give a one day/night period of protection. Both could also resurrect those killed by other methods -- the Minotaur, daykills, etc., however, these would have no protection given to them.

There weren't enough players to put the Shade in, so it was taken out.

Role Name: Amphiptere
Team: Innocent
Role Information:
The Amphiptere is a small serpent with wings said to guard frankincense trees in Arabia. It will also climb into them and leap from the trees after its target.
Role Powers:
Spying Serpent: Because you are so small in size, it makes it easy for you to spy on things. Thus, each night you must send in a list of five people. You will track them and see who they target that night.
Tree Guardian: Just because you are stuck in a labyrinth doesn’t mean you can shirk your duties. Every third night you must return to your frankincense trees to make sure they are doing alright. However, the good part of this means you can’t be physically targeted on those nights.
Burning Incense: Twice during the game you can return from your trip to the trees with some frankincense tears (the resin). You will then burn it as an incense, and the scent of the incense will calm everyone so much that no physical moves will be made that night.

Role Name: Apsu
Team: Dragons of Chaos
Role Information:
A fresh-water Dragon, Apsu is the first consort of the salt-water dragon Tiamat. Eventually, he planned to kill his children and his plans were found out by Ea. Ea then put him into a deep sleep and killed him.
Role Powers:
Tablets of Destinies: You were given these weird things by the dragon Tiamat. The Tablets of Destinies have the ability to create an army of terrible monsters. You have the ability to kill one person a day with these monsters, with any monster you would like. Thus, each day you must send me a list of five people with a way you would like to kill them. The first person on the top of the list that is still alive will be your target.
Dragon Defense: Once during the game, you can turn your usually liquid scales hard as rock, protecting you from any attacks during the day/night cycle.
Sleep of Ea: You aren’t quite sure, but you think you have sensed the presence of other chaotic-like dragons. Five times during the game, you can manually invoke the sleep that Ea would have put you in. That night, you will not be able to control any monsters you summon from the Tablets of Destinies. However, you will be able to dream of one person that night to see if they are one of those dragons.

Role Name: Balor of the Strong Blows
Team: Creatures of Deadly Sight
Role Information:
Balor was very curious as a child, and once looked upon a brew his magician father was making. The smoke reached his eye, infusing it with the poisonous abilities of the brew, so that everyone he looked at while his eye was open was killed. Thus, he kept his eye shut for so long, that to open it required hooks and ropes. He worked in the Fomorian army and was their secret weapon before being killed by his grandson, Lugh.
Role Powers:
Evil Eye: You have the ability to kill one person a night with your eye; however, because it is such a complicated process, you can only do it once every four days. (Day 1, Day 5, etc.) On these days, send in a list of five people and the first person still alive when night comes will be turned to stone.
Dreaming Sleep: As you have three days in-between every attack, the other three days can be used to dream of people to sense if they also have deadly sight. After all, birds of a feather must stick together!
Balor's Castle: Once during the game, you can make the legendary Balor's Castle real. However, you need to summon the workers to build it, and the summoning will take place instead of the actions for that night. You will also be so exhausted the next night you won't be able to do anything then, either. It will take two days to build the castle. To prevent the workers from building another castle as strong as it, you are starving them. In retaliation, they will tear down the castle after you have used it for one day/night cycle.

Role Name: Basilisk
Team: Creatures of Deadly Sight
Role Information:
The Basilisk is the King of Serpents, born from a spherical, yolkless egg laid by a seven-year old rooster during the days of the dog star Sirius and hatched by a toad. A complicated process, but evidently do-able...
Role Powers:
Serpent's Gaze: Starting the second night, you have the ability to kill someone with your gaze. However, doing it too often may make you seen and you don't want that to happen! So you can only do this once every four days. (Day 2, Day 6, etc.) On these days, send in a list of five people and the first person still alive when night comes will be turned to stone.
Dragon's Glare: Well, you aren't a dragon, per se. But your eyes have been compared to them. And you think that there are others whose eyes may have the same power as yours. So in between the three days you are killing someone, you can gaze into the eyes of one person and see if their sight is deadly as well.
Snake's Venom: As he is the King of Serpents, the Basilisk has very potent venom. Twice during the game, you may bite someone during the middle of day. The first time you bite someone, the venom will not kill, but will stay in their body and gradually wear down their shield. The second time the venom will be used to try and kill the target. However, using the venom will weaken you so much, you won't be able to do anything that night.

Role Name: Bishop Fish
Team: Innocent
Role Information:
A type of sea-monster reported in the 16th Century, the Bishop Fish is a fish that looks exactly like… well… a bishop.
Role Powers:
Pure Aura: As a bishop, you have a pure aura and feel uncomfortable when someone who does not have a pure aura is close to you. Each night, send in a list of five people. The first person available at the end of night, you will stand near and sense their aura. You will sense if someone who is not entirely pure is next to you.
Indulgences: You have three indulgences you may give to people throughout the game. If you give them an indulgence, the limited actions that they have done will be pardoned and will not be counted as being used, meaning they can once again use them.
Humble Prayer: Once during the game, instead of sensing someone’s aura, you can spend the night praying. This will restore your shield by 25 points and also protect you for that day/night cycle.
Shield: 61

Role Name: Boggart
Team: Shape-Changer
Role Information:
Your keys disappeared? It was the household boggart. The milk soured? The boggart. The dog went lame? Once again, it was the boggart. And I just can't seem to get rid of the darn thing!
Role Powers:
Shape Change: Usually, you are able to take on the form of whatever scares a person the most. However, for some reason, this power does not work correctly in the Labyrinth. Instead, you become whatever they are! Each night, send in a list of five people and you will receive the role that they have and will be able to use their abilities. For some reason, you can't use the same person's role twice in a row...
Naming the Boggart: One shouldn't name a boggart, because they become quite unreasonable… yet the people here are doing it anyways! Any time your name (or a variant thereof that is meant to be you) is said, you will gain a name point. With these points, you can collect certain things that will help you along the way. (The list of things to be bought will be sent in another PM.) You cannot tell people to say your name, and if you are being voted for you will not get a point.
Mischievous Boggart: Three times during the game, you can choose not to shapechange into anyone. Instead, you will stay your plain old mischievous self and keep someone up all night by playing tricks on them. Because they won't be able to get any sleep, they will not be able to perform any role activities. However, after you target them, they will put up traps for you so you will not be able to pull tricks on them again.
Shield: 82

Role Name: Caladrius
Team: Innocents
Role Information:
A Caladrius is a snow-white bird that lives in the houses of kings. It can tell if a sick patient can recover from an illness, and can even draw that sickness into itself so the patient will heal faster. Afterwards, the bird will fly off into the sun to disperse the sickness.
Role Powers:
Testing the Sick: Each night, if you choose, you can look at someone who has died. If you sense they can be healed, you will draw their “sickness” into you and fly off for three days. On the third day, their illness will disperse from you and they will be totally healed, and return to life. However, you can only successfully return a person to life twice. After that, you may not be able to disperse the illness successfully from your body and they will not be resurrected.
Uncleanliness: During the time a Caladrius is trying to heal someone, it is an unclean bird. Thus, if you are killed during the time you are trying to heal a body, the attacker or the last person to vote for you will have their shield power lesson as a result of attacking such an unclean creature.
Bird’s Eye View: Once every other period of healing someone, you may look down at the labyrinth from above and see what the next move your team should make is. To choose the day to do this, simply send me a PM saying you wish to use this power.
Shield: 75

Role Name: Cassandra
Team: Innocents
Role Information:
Because she was one of the most beautiful women in the world, the Greek god Apollo made her a prophetess. However, after she refused him, Apollo also cursed her. He made it so that no one would believe her prophecies.
Role Powers:
Revealing Prophecy: Every night, in your sleep you can make a prophecy about someone. Your dreams will tell if they have any chaotic influences working on them. Send a list of five people, and the first person alive at the end of night will be dreamt about.
Prophecy of DOOM: Huh. Silly people, not listening to your prophecies! You’ll show them. Once during the game, you can make a prophecy of a major storm. Those that don’t take shelter from it will have a chance of either being disabled for the next day/night cycle, losing some of their shield, or dying.
Prophetic Mishaps: Three times during the game, you can make a prophecy about someone that they will have a minor mishap. They will be sent a PM telling them about the prophecy and asking if they believe it. If they do, the mishap will stay minor and the damage will be lessened. However, if they do not, something that should have been a minor accident will turn into a major one and causing them much more damage.

Quote:

Role Name: Catoblepas
Team: Creatures of Deadly Sight
Role Information:
The Catoblepas normally resides in Ethiopia. It has the body of a buffalo, but the head of a hog. You'd think that the buffalo body would be strong enough to hold up the head (after all, hogs seem to do it quite well) but for some reason that is not the case and the head is always turned downwards. It is said that its gaze can turn people into stone.
Role Powers:
Soft Gaze: They say when a cow looks you in the eyes, they have soft brown eyes. Well, that's true in the case of the Catoblepas as well. The result, however, is quite different. Starting day 3, you can look someone in the eyes and turn them into stone. However, it is such an effort to lift your head that you can only do this once every four days. (Day 3, day 7, etc.). On these days, send in a list of five people and you will target the first one alive.
Finding the Herd: For some reason, you are pretty sure that there are others in the game with powers similar to yours. On the nights that you aren't killing anyone, you may test someone and see if they have the same killing gaze you do.
Noxious Cud: All you eat are poisonous plants, so the cud you chew is pretty noxious. Thus, the first time you are targeted, the person targeting you will be so put off by the smell their target will be redirected to a random person just to avoid getting close to you. Once during the game, you can spit the cud out at someone. The poisons in it will make sick and they will not be able to do anything for the next day/night cycle.

Role Name: Centaur
Team: Innocents
Role Information:
Half-man. Half-horse. Stargazer. Master archer. Intelligent. Stubborn. Arrogant. Eyup, that about covers it. Do you want fries with that, or hay?
Role Powers:
Sure Shot: Like most Centaurs, you are extremely good with a bow. Your arrows are sure to hit their target. Unfortunately, you weren't prepared to be whisked out into some random world, so you were only carrying three arrows with you at the time. So, three times during the game, you can shoot someone with these arrows. Simply send in the names of five people and the first person that is alive and can be targeted on this list you will shoot.
Stargazer: Centaurs are master stargazers and thus understand what the stars are yearning to reveal. Each night, as long as the weather is clear, you may watch the stars, and if they are willing they will tell you the direction your party needs to go next. However, even if they do not, as long as you can see the stars you will always know which way is north.
Vote of Arrogance: As a centaur, you are obviously the most important creature in the game. In fact, you are probably the centaur of the universe. You are also extremely intelligent, so everything you do -must- be right. Because of this, you think you deserve the right to an extra vote. Three times during the game, you may send me the name of a person you would like to vote for. This vote will be added to the list in addition to your other votes.

Role Powers:
List Switch: Ah, the list switch... one of your favorite tricks in the book. Luckily, you can do it here! Every night, send in two lists of five players. The first people alive and at the time your role comes into play will have their lists switched.
Shifting Alliance: Some people say it is fun to play one side of the game, some another. Well, you think it's even more fun if you can play both sides of the game... and trick people while at it! Thus, if someone dreams of you, you will pretend to be whatever team they are on and results will be sent accordingly. However, you may not reveal any of your supposed “team mates.”
Bag of Tricks: You have a wonderful bag of tricks that you are just itching to use (and no, it's not because of fleas)! However, the items inside are limited so you can only use it every third day. When you use it, you will pull out an item from the bag. The item will then be able to be used at any time afterwards, however if you use the item you will not be able to use the List Switch power that same night.

Role Name: Cupid
Team: Innocents
Role Information:
The Roman god of love. That pesky little Cherub that flies around on Valentines Day shooting everyone in the back. Stupid Cupid, stop picking on me. T_T
Role Powers:
Gold-headed Arrows: It is said that Cupid has two sets of arrows. The gold-headed arrows are the infamous ones that are said to make people fall in love. Unfortunately, you've used so many of them, that by the time you were whisked away into this world, you only had one pair left. So before the first night ends, you must send in two lists, one of male players and one of female players, of 5 people. The top people still living on each list will be made lovers, and will do anything to protect each other from death.
Love's Enduring Promise: With each night that your chosen couple remains alive, you will receive Hearts. Once you have gathered 4 hearts, you may go to a rose bush and pick one of the roses without fear of being scraped by the thorns (after all, the power of love can do anything!) These roses will have powers in them that may help you and the chosen couple.
Iron-Tipped Arrows: Ah. These are the arrows that aren't as well known, probably because you don't use them as often. As such, you still have a full quiver of them. These are the arrows that inspire hatred. Every night, send in two lists of five people. The top people still living at the end of night you will shoot with these arrows. If those two people happen to target each other at any time within the next three nights, they will be so infuriated by hatred that they will refuse to even look at the other person and thus will simply go to the next person on their list.

Role Name: Ekhi

Role Information:
Ekhi is the name of the sun in the Basque language. She is the protector of humanity, and the enemy to evil spirits.
Role Powers:
Shining Light: The sun is very bright, and when focused, causes a very powerful glow. Each day you may focus your light on one person. The glow will remain during the night and protect them from attacks from a certain team. To decide who to protect, send in a list of five people every day.
Supernova: Once in the game, you may shine so brightly during the night that it will be almost as if you never set that night. Because everything is illuminated, no one will be able to do anything that night. Unless they are deep sleepers, they will not be able to go to sleep either.
Revealing Shadow: They say a shadow can say a lot about a person. Well, not really. But as the sun, you can see the shadows of every person in the game. In fact, as their main source, you have a special power over them. Once during the game, you may cause someone's shadow to separate from them and give the shadow a life of its own. Unfortunately, you can't quite predict what doing that will cause...

Role Name: Enki
Team: Innocents
Role Information:
Enki is the Sumerian god of crafts, water, intelligence, and creation. He is also known as the Babylonian god, Ea.
Role Powers:
Craftsmanship: As the god of craftsmanship, you are pretty nifty with a hammer. Each night, you can create little trinkets to give to someone. This trinket will double their powers for the next day/night cycle. However, because a true crafts master does not always stick to one pattern, this may not always be what happens.
Odd Trinket: Once during the game instead of making the trinkets that double people, you may spend your time working on something entirely new. However, because it's entirely new, you won't quite know what it does until it's finished and you can test it out.
Useful Invention: It is said that you created the plow and the yoke to help farmers with their crops. Unfortunately, those things don't quite work here, but you have created another item that may help. It will reveal the role of one person. To use it, send it in during the day time with the names of five people.

Role Name: Marduk
Team: Innocents
Role Information:
Marduk is the son of the sun god, Ea. In Enuma Elish, it is recorded that he defeated the gods Tiamat and Kingu, and created mankind from their blood, and thus became known as the god of light and life.
Role Powers:
Life's Elixir: You have kept just enough of Kingu's blood to successfully resurrect two people. However, some things cannot be resurrected from using this method, so you will use only a drop on someone first. If they react to the drop, you will give them part of your remaining elixir and they will be resurrected. However, because you want to preserve the elixir for as long as possible, after it has been used to resurrect someone you must wait three days before using it again. After you resurrect two people, you will only be able to use a drop and so any attempts after that may not be successful.
Unknown Power: It seems you have a role power you are unable to use right now. I wonder what it is?
Mystery Power: Two powers you aren't able to use?! My, that is a shame!

Role Name: Medusa
Team: Creatures of Deadly Sight
Role Information:
Medusa is a gorgon, and thus has a head of snakes and the power to turn people into stone... but all gorgons can do -that-. You are special because you are the most feared Gorgon of all!
Role Powers:
Snake's Stare: Starting on the fourth day, you have the power to kill someone with your gaze. However, it is quite risky to show your true nature with all these pesky innocents about, so you can only do it once every four days. (Day 4, Day 8, etc.)
Rose-Colored Glasses: They say looking through rose-colored glasses can give you a positive aspect on life. And you have a wonderful pair here! Or maybe they are amber-colored... these snakes of yours are probably colorblind. Ah well. Using them, you can look for any other people that may be on your team, and finding them will definitely give you a positive outlook!
Hypnotizing Gaze: They say a snake's gaze can hypnotize small creatures... well, with the amount of snakes you have on your head, you can hypnotize a -person-. The first time you do this, their target will be switched to a random person (not including you). The second time, you will be able to exert more force and thus will be able to control who they target. However, hypnotizing people wearies the poor snakes so much, you will not be able to do anything else that night.

Role Name: Minotaur
Team: Devourer
Role Information:
A man with a bull's head and tail, the Minotaur was greatly feared because he was so ferocious. Thus, he was eventually put into a labyrinth created by Daedalus just for him. Oddly enough, it is the same labyrinth everyone is in now...
Role Powers:
Devourer: Because you live in the labyrinth, you never got to eat much. And now there are a whole bunch of people here letting you travel with them! Each night, send in a list of five people. You will devour the first person available.
Knowledge of the Path: Because you have lived in the maze for so long, you know every nook and cranny of the Labyrinth. So every day, you will learn the correct path to take for that day. However, you may not publicly reveal you know the way.
Trap Clearance: Because you know the labyrinth so well, you will avoid any traps that are physical or magically activated. You are not immune from any traps that are living, however.

Role Name: Nameless Hero
Team: Innocents
Role Information:
You have slain many evil creatures, and most have been well known. Medusa and her sisters. The Minotaur. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. All killed by you! And then what happens?! Some hotshot hero comes in behind you and makes -their- claim to fame.
Role Powers:
Erratic Attitude: Each day, your feelings of having your claim to fame stolen from you changes. Sometimes, you are grateful to be able to avoid the people who follow heroes around, such as those crazy stalkerazzi. Other days, you long to impress someone with your long and heroic tales without being told that someone else did it. As such, your mood changes every day, and with them, so do your powers.
Choose a Mood: Choose a Mood! Any mood! Once during the game, you may choose the mood that you take on the next day out of the ones you have already received. However, that emotion will be taken out of the list and you will not be able to use it again.
Infectious Attitude: How you feel can sometimes effect the feelings of others. Thus, twice during the game, you may choose to share your mood of that day. To do this, send in a list of five people and they will be able to use that attitude the next day/night cycle.

Role Name: Perseus
Team: Innocents
Role Information:
Perseus was sent by Polydectes to collect the head of Medusa, because Perseus could not afford the gift of a horse that was needed to attend a banquet Polydectes was hosting. He wandered around aimlessly until the gods Hermes, Athena, and Hades came to help, gifting him with a sword, shield, and helmet of invisibility. Using his shield to view Medusa, he was able to cut off her head. He later went on a quest with Pegasus, the Winged Horse, and became the King of Mycenae.
Role Powers:
Protector of the Innocent: Everyone knows it is the job of a hero to protect the innocent and those in need. Luckily for you, you were able to snatch some extra Golden Apples of Immortality back when you went through the Garden of Hespiredes on your voyage to kill Medusa. Unfortunately, they don't quite make someone immortal... but they are handy for curing someone after they have been attacked... if they still live. Attacked by what, you aren't sure. But at least the apples are shiny!
Hero's Strength: That sword and helmet that were given to you sure are nifty. Using them, you can go after the attacker that attacked that poor person you'll need to heal. Then, there is a chance that you will either damage their shield or make them unable to use their role powers the next day... though there is always the chance that you'll be the one injured instead.
Helmet of Invisibility: Once during the game, you can use your Helmet of Invisibility to track someone and find some information about their role. To do this, send me a list of 5 people, and the top one alive when I receive your list you will follow. However, using this power will make you so exhausted you will not be able to protect someone that night.

Role Name: Pied Piper of Hamelin
Team: Innocents
Role Information:
In 1284, when the town of Hamelin was suffering from a rat infestation, until the Pied Piper appeared. Promised a payment, he led the rats out of the town with a magical pipe. However, the townspeople refused to pay... so the Pied Piper took revenge by using the pipe to lure their children away from the town. After being payed many times the gold he was originally promised, he allowed the children to return.
Role Powers:
Mystical Pipe: Using the mystical pipe you have, you can lead one person a day away from the rest of the group. This person will not be able to use any role powers, post, or vote that day/night cycle, however because they are away from the group they cannot be targeted either.
Rats of Hamelin: Once during the game, you can sommon the rats you led away from the town of Hamelin. These rats will swarm the Labyrinth, preventing anyone from doing anything or continue along the maze that night. After the rats leave, they will leave some trinkets that they gathered when you originally led them away.
Pied πper?!: You are a very skilled pie maker. So skilled, in fact, that every single pie you make has a circumference of exactly pi. For some reason, this tends to give pies special abilities. So you try to keep some around (get it?) you at all times... until you give them away or eat them yourself, of course.
3- You have 3 pumpkin pies. For some reason, when you give these away to people, they scare them and cause any items they are holding to drop...
.- This pie is so small that it can only be described as a decimal point. Throw it under someone and see what it does!
1- You have 1 cherry pie. If you give this to someone, they'll find it so good, they will tell you something about their role!
4- You have 4 apple pies that seem like they will make good additions to a shield! If you hand them out to three people, you can eat the fourth one yourself if you so choose.

Role Name: Trystan

Role Information:
A friend of Twizzler's, you were charged with bringing the Book of Myths to her. But when the lightning bolt hit the book, you were touching it. Thus, the magic didn't work on you correctly. You didn't actually receive the powers of any of the books inhabitants... however, you did not want to leave when told. So, you are now playing in disguise!
Role Powers:
Choice of Alignment: You must choose one of these aspects by the end of night one.
Understanding and Innocent- When she asked you to leave, Twizzler was just trying to protect you... so you'll stay the person she likes!

Revengeful and Evil- Gah! Stupid Twizzler! She should know better than to try and order you around. Well, she'll regret that, she will!
Guilt: When you die, whoever is the main cause of your death will feel so guilty they killed someone who can't go into stasis that they will commit suicide. This will happen regardless of the alignment choice you make.

Role Name: Serra
Team: Innocents
Role Information:
In oceans, there is a winged fish known as the Serra. The Serra's greatest delight is to race ships. When it sees one, it will come up and beat its wings to keep pace with the ship. Once it is ahead of the ship, it will try to hinder the ship's progress by spreading its wings and blocking the wind, however, eventually its stamina will run out and the Serra will sink back into the sea.
Role Powers:
First Place: Because you enjoy being in first place so much, you would like to be in first place as often as you can. Thus, every time you can get the people to send you as a scout for the next portion of your journey, you will get points for being in first place. You will also gain a smaller amount of points if your team is in the lead. You can redeem these points for prizes that will be sent in a separate PM.
Small and Quick: Because you are so small and quick, you have a 75% chance of avoiding any damage caused by traps while scouting. Any damage you do receive will be cut in half.
Big Race: Even if you do not win, you love to race. So, every day you are not sent scouting, you may challenge someone to a race. Whoever wins the race will get a .05% shield increase.

Role Information:
Shades are an imprint of a spirit, either animal or human. They have the ability to take over a living person, however, the person must be entirely still during the process. The shade then takes over the abilities of that person.
Role Powers:
Stasis Takeover: You can't move far on your own, but with the help of someone else, you can. Unfortunately, that person cannot move during that time you inhabit them... so, you have to wait until someone goes into stasis. When they do, you will begin to inhabit them and one day/night cycle later will receive their role.
Ghost: As a shade, you are a ghost. And because you are a ghost, you cannot be harmed until you have a role.

[b]Role Name: Sigurd
Team: Innocents
Role Information:
Sigurd was sent by his foster father Regin to kill the dragon Fafnir. After killing the dragon, he was able to learn the language of the birds and they told him to kill Regin because otherwise he himself would be killed. Later, Sigurd met a shieldmaiden by the name of Brynhild, who promised she would marry him but also prophesied his doom to marry another. Then, while on a visit, he was made to drink an ale of forgetfulness so he would forget Brynhild and instead marry a woman by the name of Gudrun.
Role Powers:
Ale of Forgetfulness: Somehow, the ale of forgetfulness you were made to drink can effect others. Send in the two lists of five names. Should the first person on either list be targeted, the person who is targeting them will forget whom their first choice was and will change their mind and attack the first person on the other list.
Language of the Birds: When you are first attacked, you will be gone from the area where you are supposed to be, thus avoiding the attack. How did you know not to be there? Why, a little birdie told you.
Dragon's Wisdom: Another effect of slaying the Dragon Fafnir was that you gained the ability of wisdom... also known as prophecy. Once during the game, you can focus your sight on someone and when they die, you will learn something about the thing that killed them. Should they be killed by execution, you can simply choose to watch someone else.

Role Name: Simurgh
Team: Innocents
Role Information:
The Simurgh is a creature in the shape of a gigantic bird. Iranian legends say that she is old enough to have seen the destruction of the world three times over, and thus possesses the knowledge of the ages. She is considered to be able to purify the land and air around her. She is believed to roost in the Tree of Life, which holds all the seeds in the world. When Simurgh takes flight, all of the leaves of the tree are shaken and seeds are scattered everywhere.
Role Abilities:
Tree of Life: You roost in the Tree of Life, and thus have a variety of seeds to give out. Each day, you can give out one seed. However, giving that seed away will also make you unable to give it out again until the seed grows back, which it will after each time you leave the nest. You cannot give a seed to the same person two days in a row.
Leaving the Nest: When your supply of seeds gets low, you need to leave the nest to give them time to regrow. Each time you leave the nest, tons of seeds are scattered across the world. As such, there will be many seeds scattered around the labyrinth as well. You will return to the nest in three days and will be able to give out every single one of the seeds once more.
Golden Feathers: You have three golden feathers you can choose to give away. You can give them all to one person, or spread them out amongst three different people. Every time these feathers are used, you are summoned to them and you will be able to speak in private. These feathers are so strong, they will allow even the dead to summon you.

Executioner's Override: Choosing those who are to be slain doesn't have to be all negative. In fact, you have two other powers you can use. Once each during the game, you can completely stop an execution; or switch who the execution targets.
Runes: You have some runes that can be used to summon the Evil Frying Pan of Doom! However, other than the fact it is to be used to hit someone on the head, you have no clue what it does.

Things to do with roles that weren't included in the main PM:

I am quite disappointed that the grey seed was never sent out... I had a nice plot scene thought up for it.

Werewolf Happenings:
I think I made a few mistakes updating shields and stuff... so a few people lived longer than they should have, probably. D:

The Labyrinth maps will have to be posted later -- photobucket is not letting me log in. D:

Hey, I found my opposite on night 1~!
Wow Twiz, you put a lot of work into this. Kudos to you for putting together a great (albeit long) game!

malibu · **Posts:** 37 **Joined:** Fri Feb 09, 2007 8:24 pm

I gave out the grey seed!

I have to admit, I did get really confused, because you said I gave it out the night where the actions were cancelled, but that happened the day after I gave the grey seed out, and then I had no idea what was going on with my role for the rest of the game.

Twizzler0171 · **Posted:** Fri Jan 02, 2009 1:44 am

Nuuu, I checked, and you sent out the black seeds. At least, according to the notes -- you may have sent the grey seeds instead, but then, the black seeds wouldn't have been sent.

Urthdigger · **Posted:** Fri Jan 02, 2009 5:21 am

Heh, that was kind of an interesting game. I'd like to point at that throughout the game I made a point of never lying, which probably helped do me in. My team was indeed "kinda" innocent (Though I never called myself innocent once my role was changed) in that we decided to leave the innocents alone and go after the other bad guys first. So, all my comments about wanting to help the innocents were indeed true, and I tried to work with a few people to try and find the baddies. About Pickles, I know I caught some major flack for that, but I was kinda screwed. I kinda was counting on dreaming of people to save my hide, and a few choices.

I could choose to start lying, make up a fake evil role for Pickles, and maybe live for another day, but then be doomed for sure. Plus it wouldn't hurt the bad guys, just the innocents, so that was a no go.

I could lie and say I dreamed of someone else, and make up a role. Problem there was I risked picking someone dreamed already, which would instantly make me suspicious... not to mention whoever it was saying I'm lying about the dream ability.

I could lie and make up some super powerful innocent role for Pickles. Problem is, I'd have everyone hating me over that. At least until Pickles is killed anyway. After all, which would people hate more? Me revealing the celebrity, or me revealing the remaining resser?

I could tell the truth. I wound up picking this one as all the other choices were bad, and I make a point of telling the truth anyway.

I was kinda hoping something would happen to the other dreamers and I'd get resurrected as the "only remaining dreamer", the lesser of two evils. Especially once the rest of my team bit it, the idea was that I could then hope everyone thought dreaming was my only power (which, it was my only power unless I was the sole surviving team member), and kill people while blaming it on "the other guys". Unfortunately, that never did pan out. Still, at least I got to sing!

loser · **Posted:** Fri Jan 02, 2009 6:27 pm

reading all that made my head hurt.

I was terrified when I got my role, but after a few days I felt I could handle it (even though I was mad at not killing anyone, ARGH).

My defense was being Daedalus, seeing as I could predict the way to go. However, not being allowed to tell anyone that as well as found out from targeting killed my defense.

I should have reached out with a fake role to avoid suspicion, but by that time I realized that was a good move, it was too late.

This was an incredible game. Thanks so much for hosting. :hug:

Chipper · **Posted:** Sat Jan 03, 2009 8:01 am

Good Game. It was fun even if I didn't make a very good baddie. Sorry to those I attacked. It was fun though :evil:

Can't wait till the next game.

Role Powers:
Tablets of Destinies: You were given these weird things by the dragon Tiamat. The Tablets of Destinies have the ability to create an army of terrible monsters. You have the ability to kill one person a day with these monsters, with any monster you would like. Thus, each day you must send me a list of five people with a way you would like to kill them. The first person on the top of the list that is still alive will be your target.
Dragon Defense: Once during the game, you can turn your usually liquid scales hard as rock, protecting you from any attacks during the day/night cycle.
Sleep of Ea: You aren’t quite sure, but you think you have sensed the presence of other chaotic-like dragons. Five times during the game, you can manually invoke the sleep that Ea would have put you in. That night, you will not be able to control any monsters you summon from the Tablets of Destinies. However, you will be able to dream of one person that night to see if they are one of those dragons.
