StrangerCoug's Favorite Roles Return (Game over!)

[StrangerCoug]

I have played and modded many games since joining three years ago, especially theme games (the notorious StrangerCoug's Worst Nightmare series comes to mind). Of all those games, I can't decide on the one role I liked the most from any of them. Nope—I couldn't narrow the pool any further down than 16. I thought all of them were excellent. Some of them I even feel a bit sentimental about.

And guess what—I'm bringing them all back! If it was a good role then, it's still a good role now, and I want to see how my personal top sixteen do in a game together. Many of these have never, in any universe, been together before, but they're still experienced enough to smell trouble. With the mod rooting for both sides, can the town formed from the conglomeration of various sources overcome all the dangers that have now come to face them? After all, this is not Round 1 for anybody!

RULES

1. Other than that every role in the game has been used previously in a theme game I played or modded, this is a closed setup, which means the only roles you will know in advance are your own and that of any other player I mention in your role PM. All other role information is secret, including how many players with a certain role exist and even if the role exists in the first place. Yes, a game with absolutely no vanilla townies is possible. It's been done before.
   
   This may or may not be a bastard mod game.
   It may be perfectly runnable as a normal if I stripped the names; it may have a few annoyances here and there; it may be on the level of StrangerCoug's Worst Nightmare. I'm not telling you where in the scale this game is.
   
2. The preferred voting method is to put vote tags around the player's name, but I will still accept the old method of bolding the word "vote" followed by said player's name, e.g. VOTE: StrangerCoug or
   Vote: StrangerCoug
   . As long as I can tell to whom you are referring, spelling does not count and I will accept abbreviated or otherwise shortened forms of the name of the vote's recipient. You may also VOTE: No Lynch. I no longer require unvotes.
   
3. A majority of votes is required for a lynch, even at deadline. Once a lynch has been decided, it is final and further votes and unvotes do not count for the current day. If deadline is reached with no player having enough votes for a lynch, the day ends in an automatic No Lynch.
   
4. Once you die, I'll allow one "bah" post that doesn't contain any game-related content if you wish to make it, but you must thereafter stop posting in the game. Said "bah" post is the only post a dead player may make during twilight. Living players may continue to talk during twilight as long as they follow all of the rules.
   
5. You are not forced to like each other, but the fact that you badly want so and so offed does not give you the right to insult him or her. Please keep your hatred of people or groups thereof to yourself. Profanity is not in and of itself banned, but if it gets out of hand, it falls under this rule.
   
6. Do not hide text or otherwise hinder its readability by using spoiler tags, invisible or encrypted text, etc. You may, however, post in any color that can be easily read against the forum background other than
   purple
   . (I know it sounds arbitrary to forbid a specific color, but I'm saving my favorite color for mod use since I am the mod )
   
7. Impersonating the moderator is prohibited.
   
8. Unless you're the moderator (that's me, obviously), co-moderator (that's nobody), or backup moderator (that's Plum until June 20, after which date it will become Vi) of this game, please do not delete or edit any posts in this thread.
   
9. You are not allowed to discuss this game outside of the thread unless I tell you otherwise, nor are you allowed to discuss other ongoing games in this thread.
   
10. Do not quote or pretend to quote any private communication, either from me or from anyone else you are allowed to talk with at night. This includes your role PM. (Exception effective May 7: You
    ARE
    allowed to quote the role PM from the original game.) You are allowed to paraphrase, but you are not allowed to plagiarize. If in doubt as to your paraphrase's legality, PM me with the wording you want to use.
    
11. Claiming to be scum with someone else is prohibited.
    
12. I will issue a prod to any player that does not post for 72 hours without notifying me of his or her absence. (I'm sorry, but I do not check the V/LA thread. If you do not tell me to do so, neither will I check your signature.) If you are prodded, you will have 48 hours from the time of submission to post in thread. Failure to do so may result in replacement. Keep in mind that I have the board time down to the second. I will only prod the same player twice—after that, he or she must post every 72 hours to ensure that he or she remains in the game.
    
13. The fastest and preferred way to get ahold of me is by PM'ing me, but you may also communicate to me in thread if it is day or twilight and you are still alive. To do so, bold "Mod:" followed by what you want to tell me, as in
    Mod: Please prod StrangerCoug
    or
    Mod: StrangerCoug should have five votes, not four.
    Please use your judgment call in whether or not what you want to tell me should be public knowledge before talking to me in the thread. In additon, I will not entertain questions regarding possible night actions, nor will I answer questions about a person's role unless you happen to be the person in question and you ask me privately.
    
14. Rule violations will be dealt with case by case based on severity. This can be a warning (of which I will only give two per player), ejection from the game, or even a modkill. Modkills are not a fun experience for anybody—the players affected automatically lose, I do it in the manner that I consider most harmful to their factions, and I die on the inside every time I have to do it.
    PLEASE
    save all of us the pain and be on your best, rule-abiding behavior.
    
15. I am not God. If I make any mistakes whatsoever, please let me know.
    
16. All rules are subject to change. In my previously modded games, things have come up that I didn't think about, and both my own and other's actions in those games have helped shape and modify these rules. It may happen again here.
    
17. The most important rule of all, saved for last for what I think is a very good reason:
    HAVE FUN!
    Enjoy! And good luck!

Let's flash back to Mini 716: El Puma, shall we, StrangerCoug?

Here is the original to one of the roles I gave out that game:

StrangerCoug, you are a

vanilla townie

. You have no gun, no badge, no first aid kit, no magic thingamajiggers, absolutely nothing special except for three things: pride in El Puma, brainpower, and voting abilities. But those three things are all you need to stop the Mafia from taking over the town!

You win when all threats to El Puma have been eliminated from the game.

Please PM me back acknowledging that you understand and confirm your role.

The game thread is here, by the way. It's a day start, just so you know.

This time around, you've got the role. It works the same way as it did in that game.

You win when all threats to StrangerCoug's Favorite Roles Return have been eliminated from the game.

Please PM me back acknowledging that you understand and confirm your role. The thread is here and you're in a day start.

[StrangerCoug]

All roles are out. You have 72 hours to confirm.

[StrangerCoug]

smargaret is V/LA until Monday.

C-worl<3Bobsnox
NOTHING SUSS (probally won't get that because it was from an aussie comedy called big bite.)

Omgus at the rvs stage not really the most major scum tell may be a good read.

[bobsnox]

;_;

[TheLonging]

Omgus at the rvs stage not really the most major scum tell may be a good read.

me and parama have a nice history between us, this is our way of showing our love ^_^

[Parama]

TL's strategy is usually to yell at me all game until he determines I'm scum, even though I'm always town when he thinks I'm scum.

[TheLonging]

remember that marathon day where I caught you as scum 3 times in a row?

That was awesome. Those weren't guesses either. I guess time will determine whether you're scum or town this game.

Also in other news Parama, I remember you being in Furry Mafia right?

[Parama]

I think that if you called me scum every game we played in you'd probably be right some of the time <_<
And yes >_>

[TheLonging]

I haven't called you scum in EVERY game

How was Rikki?

[jindori]

Sounds like a good tactic. This games full of love already i mean votes. We already have a love triangle and two dedicated lovers. I mean votes.

[Parama]

I haven't called you scum in EVERY game

How was Rikki?

Prove it

And what are you talking about?

[TheLonging]

I'd have to dig back <_<

And I mean Rikki the Mouse. How was he/she? (Damn ambiguous names)

[jindori]

I'd have to dig back <_<

And I mean Rikki the Mouse. How was he/she? (Damn ambiguous names)

Maybe rikki was both genders dun dun dun.

[Parama]

I'm still not sure what you're talking about .-.

Can this go to PMs? Kinda irrelevant to the game and all.
