The 2015-2016 season has gone down in the history books.

The Golden State Warriors won a record 73 wins in the regular season, but were on the losing side of history when they were the first team to lose a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals, ultimately ceding the title to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The offseason had many surprises too, with many star players leaving their franchises for a new team. It was also a season of goodbyes, as we saw the retirement of legends like Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and the Black Mamba, Kobe "Vino" Bryant.

But that's in the history books. It's a new season and with a new season, we have many superstars vying to lead their team to the championship. Will it be a player from a team I like? Or will it be a team led by a shithead who I hate? Let's play some Loupgarou to find out.


Kobe Bryant, Superstar, has retired N0 and ended the playoff dreams of the Los Angeles Lakers.

End of Day 1

Sometimes a superstar can play his heart out and still get no where near the playoffs due to things out of his control. One of the most unfortunate examples was probably the New Orleans Pelicans last year. With injuries sidelining every starter - and many bench players too - at one point or another during the season, their playoff aspirations were snuffed early. This year has had an ominous beginning as well. Jrue Holiday is out for personal reasons (his wife was pregnant - and had a brain tumour - at the same time!!) and Tyreke Evans is still rehabbing his knee. In this timeline, a big anvil also landed on Anthony Davis's head in a prank gone awry.

Tired Moritz, Anthony Davis, Town Roleblocker, has been flattened by a big anvil.

Day 2 will begin maybe at 5 or 6 pm? Maybe in the am if people are quick about it? Get your actions in.

End of Night 1

After the brutal flattening of Anthony Davis and subsequent spraining of his ankle, every superstar held their breath, worried about their own health. But then...nothing happened. Everyone was fine. And so the season began.


Day 2 begins.

Dear Basketball,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdGeXcJ-hfo

From the moment
I started rolling my dad’s tube socks
And shooting imaginary
Game-winning shots
In the Great Western Forum
I knew one thing was real:

I fell in love with you.

A love so deep I gave you my all —
From my mind & body
To my spirit & soul.

As a six-year-old boy
Deeply in love with you
I never saw the end of the tunnel.
I only saw myself
Running out of one.

And so I ran.
I ran up and down every court
After every loose ball for you.
You asked for my hustle
I gave you my heart
Because it came with so much more.

I played through the sweat and hurt
Not because challenge called me
But because YOU called me.
I did everything for YOU
Because that’s what you do
When someone makes you feel as
Alive as you’ve made me feel.

You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream
And I’ll always love you for it.
But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.
This season is all I have left to give.
My heart can take the pounding
My mind can handle the grind
But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.

And that’s OK.
I’m ready to let you go.
I want you to know now
So we both can savor every moment we have left together.
The good and the bad.
We have given each other
All that we have.

And we both know, no matter what I do next
I’ll always be that kid
With the rolled up socks
Garbage can in the corner
:05 seconds on the clock
Ball in my hands.
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1

Love you always,
Kobe

you guys make up for killing russell bestbrook last night by killing the worst player in the nba, choker fraud steph curry, idiot baby

omgvbflol, scum godfather/ninja, stephen curry has been eliminated

and thats loupgarou!! town wins!!! i gotta admit, i was not expecting d2 scum lynch, d3 scum lynch, d4 sk lynch, d5 scum lynch but good work town

heres mod-doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Mpt0RtJRGfeD0edinavlNlzeez86rIiGvBJrpcVAe2g/edit#gid=0

post-mortem thoughts: so there's a lot of power in this game. i try to make games where everyone has something to do (except tobbs, haha owned) but roles dont win games, just give info that may or may not be helpful (except for dickbastardly's cop!!) so town has a lot of roles but i tried to give scum and sk more tools than a normal game. i thought the balance b/w the three teams was fine but after dickbastardly hit w/ his 1-shot cop, it seemed to go downhill for non-townies pretty quickly so maybe not.

the lid-jimson masonry was a scum-town masonry w/ a kinda cute link that isnt documented so ill just mention it: jimson would receive a 1-shot of any role lid blocked, giving town another shot, but letting lid kinda act as a rolecop + redirector instead of a roleblocker. it didnt see much play since the vig was rb'd both times.

i think i would give the scum one more toy to play with in the future but idk

fun factoid: everyone's role pm has kobe bryant in it :)

a time i had to lol: omgvbflol claiming CORY JOSEPH in a game where everyone is explicitly superstars. man that was funny.
