Welcome to choose your own musical mafia, a game for some number of players!

This is similar to Byers' CYOS mafias in that when you sign up you will not choose a role, but will instead choose a musical. I will then give you one or more powers based on that musical (and will probably name those powers after songs in that musical). More than one person can choose the same musical, but I'll give them different powers/songs.

Feel free to be super obscure if you want, but the more mainstream the musical the more likely I am to know it well enough to give you something super cool from it. I am being very loose with the definition of musical. It can be a play, a live action movie, a cartoon (Disney movies 100% count), a TV show. It just needs to be a method of storytelling where the story and emotions of characters are told either entirely or periodically through song.

Rules
  • Days will be 48 hours, Nights will be 12-24 hours. (Weekends count as 24 hours)
  • Lynch will be majority (days can end in a nolynch)
  • Thread will be closed at night
  • No fake day actions
  • No posting after hammer
  • No posting mod PMs
  • No editing posts
  • No outside communication unless your role says you're allowed
  • Don't lurk! People get one prod then a modkill. There will be no replacements.
  • Once the game starts I won't answer any questions in thread. PM me if you have questions.

99.9999% of musicals drive me up the wall, but if I can pick a concept album where the whole thing tells one story (not stuff like 2112, where the story is on one side of the record only), then I've got a pick ready. I think it's been adapted for the stage already anyway.

e: poo poo, I just thought of another one.

Holding off on PMing until I get a ruling anyway.

Hmm, it's a tough call to make since I can think of some albums that are stories and when they're performed at a concert they are telling the story on stage, but I think it wouldn't really fall under the category of musical, so I'll say no.

I already submitted mine but I'm going to bring up musical chat again and tell everybody that I saw a production of Peer Gynt that was incredible.

Although some of you jerks picked super obscure things so I'm going to have to actually listen to some of this and try to find powers in them.

Okay we're full and what a goddamn insane group of musicals you guys picked. Seriously I know a whole lot of musicals and I didn't even recognize at least half of these.

Game probably won't open until Monday because I need to listen to a lot of the ones I don't know to try to find something.
