This is a role madness game for nine players.

- Everyone Town will be given a minor post restriction. Violating the post restriction will null your power for the night. (It may, in fact, be a valid strategy to sacrifice your power for a night in order to speak freely that day, but it shouldn't be necessary.) Scum will be given fake post restrictions, but do not need to obey them.
- Every role also has an associated tweet, and your PR and power are at least loosely based on your tweet. Scum will be given fakeclaims and faketweets.
- No quoting mod messages, or fake day actions, or anything like that, you know how this works.
- This'll be a relatively quick game because of the communication difficulties I suspect PRs will cause. Days will be 48 hours long until Day 4, when they will become 24 hours long.
- It's role madness, balance won't be perfect.
- If there's demand, I can add more players, I guess.

Example Player, The Dictionary, Town-aligned PR Cop has died Night 0!

Power: Each night, target another player. If your action succeeds, you will receive the information about their PR.

Post Restriction: Excessive loquatiousness is required, at least in some respects. Interpretations are subjective, of course, but, as they say, better to err on the side of caution.

It is now Day 1!

Jon Joe, Start with Dear, Town-aligned Mailman, was hung on Day 1!

Power: At night, may deliver a letter to another player. It can be up to 140 characters. You may not identify yourself, but the recipient will know that it is from someone town. On the following night, they will be able to send a 140-character response, assuming both of you are still alive. This is an extension of the previous action and cannot be roleblocked or prevented once the first action has succeeded (even if you break your PR).

Post Restriction: Every post you make must start with "Dear ____," as though you were addressing a letter, and you must speak directly to that person. You may make the rest of the post as you normally would, so long as it's framed like you're speaking to a specific person.

Thread will remain open for night phase. Get those actions in!

Dick Bastardly, Saying WOW, Town-aligned Tweetcop, has died Night 1!

Power: At night, target another player. If your action succeeds, you will be given a link to their assigned tweet. This is an investigative action and is not foolproof.

Post Restriction: You may not criticize other players or their play. (For example, if someone is scummy, and you want to call them out on it, you should compliment their scum play.) Backhanded compliments are allowed, as long as they're not phoned in.

It is now Day 2!

Epsilon Plus, High IQ, Town-aligned Conspiracy Theorist, was killed on Day 2!

Power: At the end of each night, you will be given a summary of everyone who targeted someone, and who they targeted. However, you will know these people only by codenames, and it will be up to you to connect the dots on who is who. This is a passive and cannot be roleblocked.

Post Restriction: You must post like you are the smartest person in the room, and you may never admit to making a mistake.

It is now Night 2. Thread will remain open.

SalTheBard, dril_gpt2, Self-aligned Warlock has died Night 2!

Power: Each night, pick a player. (This does not target.) If that person dies before the beginning of the next night phase (by kill or vote), you gain a point. You win if you have at least two points at the end of the game.

Post Restriction: At least one thing you say in each of your posts must be a riff on/remix of something someone else said. Similar structure, copying a phrase, editing a quote, be creative with it. You've got one of the more lenient PRs in terms of interpretation.

It is now Day 3!

Toalpaz, wolf pupy, Scum-aligned Godfather, has been killed on Day 3!

Power: When targeted by investigations, you appear as though you are Town, your post restriction will appear as your fakeclaim's post restiction, and your tweet will appear as your fakeclaim's tweet. However, indirect investigations and powers that investigate powers will not be fooled.

Post Restriction: You do not have one. However, your fakeclaim does.

It is now Night 3. Thread will remain open. Early reminder that as of the start of Day 4, deadlines will be 24 hours.

merk, Toughguy poo poo, Town-aligned Bodyguard, has died on Night 3!

Power: At night, you may target another player. If that player would be killed, you will be killed instead, and your target will know that you died for them. However, this will not prevent other actions.

Post Restriction: You may not overtly state that you agree with someone else, that you like their posts, or that you have a town read on them. (Null reads are fine.)

It is now Day 4!

Mr. Steak, Clickhole, Scum-aligned Ricocheter, has died Day 4!

Power: No one understands what you're doing, least of all you. Whenever you perform the night kill, if it would fail, it instead targets another random non-Scum player. If this second attempt also fails, there will not be a third. Investigations will reveal both of your visits, if applicable.

Post Restriction: You do not have one. However, your fakeclaim does.

Server/Scum Doc/Observer and Dead Doc
Mod Doc

This was an interesting setup to make, especially when it went from 9 to 11 (the roles I added for that were the Warlock and the Prosecutor, for the curious.) I admittedly gave Town a pretty significant numbers advantage here, as I figured that the PRs would make it difficult for them to read tone and scumhunt. The first couple days seemed to confirm that, especially as Town's investigation abilities came apart at the seams, but then everyone really came together, with surprisingly little to go on. I was genuinely impressed with how quickly Town came around on "let's kill Toal" even without anyone making a big effortpost. Genuinely some very good town play on Day 3. This might be the first time I've ever seen turboing turning out better for town, as it didn't give Toal time to claim or Steak time to run interference. That was funny to see.

Scum didn't really coordinate much this game, which I think might have been a mistake. It was real easy to draw the line from Toal to Steak without the two of them working together to avoid buddying.

PRs, I'm not sure how much I succeeded. I tried to make sure there was wiggle room in all of them, and that none of them would completely block the ability to make and present a case. The ability to drop your PR if you had things you absolutely needed to say was also deliberate. Knowing everything, I can obviously armchair about how people didn't quite use the capabilities they still had to their full advantage, but that's real easy to do from the outside.

I'm curious, how did everyone else feel about the setup?
