Yeah PMuzz was #4 in the draft order and that was her first pick. Nice job.

Her second was Messenger, hence ending up vanilla.

The roles took a sec because they were coded for Discord and not BBCode so I had to do some tagging on the fly. And away we go!

Unused Roles, Main List

Fitzwilliam Darcy, Roleblocker/Charging Vig

quote:

"Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride - where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will always be under good regulation."

You are Fitzwilliam Darcy, love interest of Pride and Prejudice, rich AF, hot AF, and completely over this stupid podunk country town. You also have a stick jammed so far up your rear end that you manage to alienate the one young woman clever and witty enough to be your match. To be fair, dude, you proposed by telling her that it's embarrassing how far you are out of her league. Can't believe that one didn't work! The good news is that Lizzy Bennet chewing you a new rear end in a top hat makes you realize how badly you've hosed up, and you come around to being a much better person in the back half of the book, and you and Lizzy get your happy-ever-after.

Your role is Roleblocker / Charging Vig.

Ooooh, Mr Darcy!: At night, you can ##roleblock another player, causing them to swoon dramatically. They will faint, helpless, at your manly feet, unable to perform whatever action they intended this evening.

Pride Goeth Before A Shooting: You receive one vig shot that can be fired during the day. The vig has a 25% success rate. As a night action, you may choose to forgo roleblocking in order to ##charge the vig, getting increasing odds of success the following day: 50%, then 100%, then 100% + juggernaut.

You cannot both charge your vig and roleblock on the same night.

Elizabeth Bennet, Gunsmith

quote:

"My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me."

You are Elizabeth "Lizzy" Bennet, protagonist of Pride and Prejudice, a clever young woman whose family is teetering right on the brink of not being upper class any more. You're totally that friend who dishes the good tea, and you're not afraid to stick up for people you care about. You have a bit of a temper and aren't quite as good a judge of character as you think -- and you completely misjudge Fitzwilliam Darcy as being the biggest rear end in a top hat in the universe (although, to be fair, he was practically speedrunning the competition at the time). You learn to stop prejudging people so much just in time to save things with Mr. Darcy, so congrats on a well-earned happy ever after.

Your role is Gunsmith.

Prejudiced: As a night action, you may ##gunsmith another player. You will receive information on whether or not the player CAN KILL or CANNOT KILL. All scum players will be considered CAN KILL as they are able to perform a factional kill; other players such as any vigilantes, duelists, and votebombs will also return CAN KILL responses.

Powerful Warrior (SCUM bonus): On even nights, your action cannot be blocked by any normal means.

NOTE: There are ways to gain one shot abilities in this game. Your information will only be accurate at the exact moment it is gathered. E.g., Player A might receive CANNOT KILL on n1 -- but if they gain a one-shot vig on n2, you will not be informed that your information is out of date.

NOTE: if a player attempts to fire a vig shot but the shot fails, they will still be considered CAN KILL for the remainder of the game -- they held the ability to kill, they just didn't actually manage to succeed at implementation. On the other hand, if they use up their killing oneshot, they will show up as CANNOT KILL after the fact.

Anne de Bourgh, Jack of All Trades

quote:

If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient. And so would Anne, if her health had allowed her to apply. I am confident that she would have performed delightfully.

You are Anne de Bourgh, side character of Pride and Prejudice. The thing is, you're an intriguing enigma. You don't speak a single word when you're onscreen, and protagonist Lizzy Bennet thinks you look "sickly and cross." Most of what we know about you is from your full-on Karen mother explaining that either you're the best at everything OR that you WOULD be the best at everything if not for being so sick. It's possible that you're just as awful as your mom is, and that you make life miserable for everyone around you ... but it's also possible that you are secretly plotting a way to get out from under her horribleness, and might perk up considerably once you're free of her. At least, that's a great start for a lot of Jane Austen fanfics, anyway, usually ones where you end up married to Colonel Fitzwilliam, who is p cool. And either way you're going to inherit Rosings, a huge estate, so your life can't suck TOO badly.

Your role is Jack of All Trades.

So many accomplishments!: You have access to the following oneshot abilities:
Hunting: As a night action you may ##track another player, learning who they visited.
Observation: As a night action you may ##watch another player, learning who they visited.
Caring: As a night action you may ##doc another player, protecting them from any killing actions during this nightphase. You may not target yourself with this, an accomplished young woman cares more for others than for herself.
Poetry: As a private day action in your confessional, you may ##message another player anonymously. They may reply if they wish.

So many accomplishments! SCUM version: You have access to the following oneshot abilities:
Karate Chop: Your night action becomes unstoppable by any normal means.
Ninja: Your night action becomes undetectable by any normal means.
Seduction: As a night action you may ##roleblock another player, distracting them from any action they may attempt.
Poetry: As a private day action in your confessional, you may ##message another player anonymously. They may reply if they wish.

John Dashwood, Dramatic Party Crasher

quote:

Mrs. John Dashwood did not at all approve of what her husband intended to do for his sisters. To take three thousand pounds from the fortune of their dear little boy, would be impoverishing him to the most dreadful degree. She begged him to think again on the subject.

You are John Dashwood, side character of Sense and Sensibility. When your father died, you clasped his hands on his deathbed and promised, PROMISED, that you would use some of your inheritance to provide for your stepmother and three half-sisters. And you actually might have done it, maybe, sort of, except for the fact that your wife immediately began campaigning for you to save all that money to give to your own kids, and gosh, she's probably right. So yeah, you disobeyed a direct order from your dying father, because you're a spineless, selfish weasel who let himself be convinced that, you know, he didn't mean you should spend TOO much. Just toss them a few bread crumbs, that counts, right? I'd say you're the worst, but clearly, your wife is the worst. Nice job picking her.

Your role is Dramatic Party Crasher.

Professional Party Host: After your death, an alphabetic list of any visitors you received during the course of the game will be published in the thread. If you were voted out, this list will include the player who cast the deciding vote (hammer) on you.

Dramatic Revelation: As a night action you can compose a message of up to 500 characters per night that will be published in the thread on your death. Finally, they will listen to you!

Colonel Brandon, Duelist

quote:

"Brandon is just the kind of man whom every body speaks well of, and nobody cares about; whom all are delighted to see, and nobody remembers to talk to."

You are Colonel Brandon, love interest of Sense and Sensibility. The quote above isn't 100% accurate -- it's something mean-spirited said by Willoughby, aka the guy who is trying to pick up the same woman you have your eye on (Marianne Dashwood), and he's a slime weasel. (He also got your ward pregnant and ditched her, so "slime weasel" is putting it mildly.) Marianne is very MELODRAMATIC and at first swoons over Willoughby's superficial charm, but eventually begins to see the "slime weasel" side of things, and then finally realizes that what every extremely melodramatic person needs is someone very very stable and dependable to balance things out nicely, at which point she promptly falls in love with you. Whew! It helps that, in that one movie, you're played by Alan Rickman. Maybe that's why Willoughby was such a jerk about you, because you're fine as hell.

Your role is Duelist.

Avenging The Honor: As a oneshot public day action, you may ##challenge another player to a duel. Once you do, both of you will be placed in a temporary masonry where you can attempt to resolve your differences peacefully. The masonry will last until the end of the day, at which point your duel will resolve.

If your opponent surrenders, they will be declared a yellow-bellied coward, losing their next night action due to shame.

If you withdraw your challenge, your dueling ability will still count as used up.

If neither of you is willing to concede, the duel will begin, with a 50% chance for either of you to get killed.

Dirty Tricks: SCUM Bonus: Your chance of surviving the duel is 40%, your opponent's chance of dying is 60%.

Mary Crawford, Dance Partner Rearranger

quote:

"Selfishness must always be forgiven, you know, because there is no hope of a cure."

You are Mary Crawford, side character of Mansfield Park. You are attractive, witty, worldly, and practical -- you fall for Edmund but agonize because he intends to be a parson, and you're not quite Parson's Wife material. Also, he's the second son and won't be inheriting, and you happen to enjoy the finer things. This condemns you as a hopeless materialist, GASP!, and thus unworthy of the boring Edmund. When your brother creates a massive scandal with a married ex, you think everyone involved is very stupid and look for a way to cover it up quickly, when apparently the PROPER response would be to cut him off and never speak to him again. So Edmund dumps you for not disowning your brother and marries horrible Fanny; they can go be poor and holier-than-thou together. The book never mentions what happens to you, so let's assume you find a rich guy who isn't so dull.

NOTE: co-mod Spacing in Vienna hates Fanny Price and makes no apologies for the biased nature of this blurb.

Your role is Dance Partner Rearranger.

Maximum Chaos: As a oneshot night action, you may choose any number of players to ##rearrange dance partners.

The players in your dance will be arranged in a randomized list, the exact order is unknown to you. Any player in the dance will have their target, if they have one, redirected to the next player down the list. Any actions targeting a player in the dance will be busdriven to the next player down the list. You may include yourself in this dance.

Charlotte (Lucas) Collins, Recharger

quote:

I am not romantic, you know; I never was. I ask only a comfortable home; and considering Mr. Collins�s character, connexions, and situation in life, I am convinced that my chance of happiness with him is as fair as most people can boast on entering the marriage state.

You are Charlotte (Lucas) Collins, side character of Pride and Prejudice. You are best friends with protagonist Lizzy Bennet, although you're far more practical than she is. When the odious Mr. Collins proposes to her, she is outraged because, well, he's lame AF. And that's fine for Lizzy, because Lizzy is pretty and young and is aiming a little higher, but you? You're several years older, a good deal plainer, and your family has almost nothing, so you're well on your way to being an old maid whose brothers will need to pay for your upkeep. It turns out that smiling warmly at Mr. Collins and agreeing that Lizzy was super mean to him is enough to get him to notice you; he proposes only a few days later. Lizzy is appalled that you can marry such a witless dull man, but Lizzy doesn't see the reality of your situation -- he's dumb, sure, but he's not going to drink heavily or beat you, and he has his own living and expects a decent inheritance. Not something you can turn your nose up at.

Your role is Recharger.

Incredibly Supportive: As a night action you may ##recharge a player, recharging a oneshot that has been used up. If they have more than one oneshot used up, the recharge will be randomized.

Backup List

Fanny Price, Vanilla

quote:

"When I look out on such a night as this, I feel as if there could be neither wickedness nor sorrow in the world; and there certainly would be less of both if the sublimity of Nature were more attended to, and people were carried more out of themselves by contemplating such a scene."

You are Fanny Price, main character of Mansfield Park. You are sweet and unassuming and you are going to go sit in your corner in the attic and not tell anyone it's cold because oh goodness, someone might be upset if you actually had opinions so better to not bother!!! You are St. Fanny, martyr, who was plucked from your family at age ten and raised with your richer cousins but always reminded that you are the POOR RELATION and not good enough. Despite this you are stupidly in love with your cousin Edmund (ew) who is captivated by the way more interesting Mary Crawford until he decides she's a shameless hussy because she ... won't disown her brother for creating a scandal. Great morals, Edmund. Edmund eventually settles for you and you two can be boring and stupid together.

NOTE: co-mod Spacing in Vienna loathes Fanny Price and makes no apologies for how biased this blurb is. Deal with it.

NOTE: If for some unfathomable reason you deliberately picked Fanny Price and weren't just assigned her as a consolation prize for failing to get the roles you actually wanted, co-mod Clo! would like to apologize for this role blurb, as well as for siv's future behavior. Also what's wrong with you?

Your role is Vanilla.

Even Vanilla In This Game: Fanny is too boring to be anything other than Vanilla Town. Sorry that the RNG has failed you.

Kitty Bennet, Compulsive Visitor

quote:

"I do not cough for my own amusement," replied Kitty fretfully.

You are Kitty Bennet, side character of Pride and Prejudice. Okay, here's the deal. The older two are beautiful and witty; the younger two are shameless flirts, and no one cares about the middle daughter, Mary. You're sister #4, one of the hot skanks, although you're more the follower to Lydia's leader. When Lydia elopes with George Wickham, scandalizing the whole family, you're mostly upset that she gets to have fun without you. And that everyone is pre-emptively grounding you so that you can't do sweet gently caress-all. Apparently after the book is over, you straighten up the more ho-ish tendencies and end up happily married to someone respectable, so maybe lord that over Lydia, because she's stuck with Wickham the gross sleaze. Also, you cough frequently, and your mother always snaps at you for it, claiming it's horrible for her nerves. Yeah, your mom is A Lot.

Your role is Compulsive Visitor.

Bored With Being A Minor Character: As a night action you must choose another player to visit. This visit has no effect, but can be detected (because of all of your coughing).

Mr. Bingley, Cowardly Doublevoter

quote:

"Your conduct would be quite as dependent on chance as that of any man I know; and if, as you were mounting your horse, a friend were to say, 'Bingley, you had better stay till next week,' you would probably do it, you would probably not go�and at another word, might stay a month."

You are Mr. Bingley, side character of Pride and Prejudice. You are rich, sweet, and handsome -- you are also easily persuaded by everyone around you, especially your best friend Fitzwilliam Darcy. You fall hopelessly in love with Jane Bennet, who is just as amiable and sweet and lovely, but Darcy and your sister Caroline convince you that Jane just isn't that into you, and talk you into skipping town without a word to her -- ouch. To be fair, Darcy did legit think Jane was just being polite -- she's reserved -- and when he finds out she was just as smitten as you are, he 'fesses up to his interference. (Caroline, on the other hand, wants you to snag a richer young lady and lied her rear end off.) You and Jane end up together, and your father-in-law jokes that you're both so nice that the tradespeople will rob you both blind. He's probably right.

Your role is Cowardly Doublevoter.

Influential Gentleman: As a oneshot public day action you may ##doublevote another player, gaining an additional vote. During the day phase where you use this action, you may ##undoublevote to remove your doublevote and place it again as often as you want, but after activating it once, your doublevote is used up.

SCUM Restriction: You may not use your doublevote on EXLO.

Darcy Knows Best: Sadly, you have no spine to speak of, so you can't cast the first vote on a player. You can only vote someone if another player has already voted for them - if the vote has since been removed it still counts. This restriction is lifted during EXLO, where you finally find your spine.

Louisa (Bingley) Hurst, Bulletproof

quote:

They were, in fact, very fine ladies; ... but proud and conceited. They were rather handsome; had been educated in one of the first private seminaries in town; had a fortune of twenty thousand pounds; were in the habit of spending more than they ought, and of associating with people of rank; and were, therefore, in every respect entitled to think well of themselves and meanly of others.

You are Mrs. Hurst, side character of Pride and Prejudice. You are one of Mr. Bingley's sisters and you accompany him to Netherfield Park, where you spend most of the book agreeing with Caroline, who gets a lot more onscreen time, and ignoring your husband, Mr. Hurst, who seems largely concerned with things like "when is breakfast" and playing cards and shooting at small woodland creatures. You're rooting for Caroline to end up with Fitzwilliam Darcy, and you scheme to separate Mr. Bingley from his beloved Jane, but honestly, you're sort of an afterthought, the kind that gets adapted out easily. At least Mr. Hurst is wealthy? I guess that counts for something.

Your role is Bulletproof.

Not That Much Worse Than My Husband's Snoring: You have a oneshot bulletproof, protecting you from a single killing action. You will be notified when your bulletproof is used up.

The Patriarchy, Executionproof

quote:

"We used to have all the money and land / And we still do, but it's not as fun now." -- Bo Burnham, "Straight White Male"

You are The Patriarchy, side character of most of the novels of Jane Austen. She never uses the term, but seriously. You're why Lydia's reputation is ruined by being alone with Wickham and his isn't destroyed at all by knocking up countless farmer's daughters. You're why Mr. Darcy can make problems go away by waving money at them. You're why John Dashwood is in a position to screw over his stepmother and half-sisters, you're why Willoughby practically gets away with murder with his reputation intact, you're sort of the motivating factor for half of the plots. Need I go on?

Your role is Executionproof.

Too Powerful To Defeat In One Attempt: You have a oneshot of executionproof. The first time people try to execute you, you will survive and the day will end with no execution. You will be able to laugh at those feeble females, trying to understand why you haven't been defeated yet. Ahahahahaha!

Fanny Brice-with-a-B, Lightning Rod

quote:

"Don't tell me not to live / Just sit and putter / Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter / Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade."

You are Fanny Brice, the main character of ... wait. Does that say BRICE? Okay. Let's try this again. You are Fanny Brice, protagonist of the Broadway musical "Funny Girl" and real-life star of the early twentieth century. You are NOT Fanny Price, the boring lump-like lead character of Mansfield Park -- you are a completely different person. The mods would like to deny any and all theories that you are actually a typo that they found to be funny enough to include. Seriously. You're in here because .... um. For completely different other reasons.

Your role is Lightning Rod.

Siren Song: As a oneshot, you can ##redirect any actions targeting another player onto yourself.

Margaret Dashwood, Vanilla

quote:

Margaret, the other sister, was a good-humored, well-disposed girl; but as she had already imbibed a good deal of Marianne�s romance, without having much of her sense, she did not, at thirteen, bid fair to equal her sisters at a more advanced period of life.

You are Margaret Dashwood, a side character in Sense and Sensibility. The novel is all about your two older sisters, Elinor and Marianne, finding love and getting married; you are a whopping thirteen, so all you do is moon about on the sidelines, thinking things are SO ROMANTIC and dreaming about when it's going to be your turn. You are frequently adapted out, because you're ... not really doing anything interesting. Sorry.

Your role is Vanilla.

Even Vanilla In This Game: Being the forgotten Dashwood sister means you're stuck being Vanilla Town. Sorry the RNG failed you.

Mr. Bennet, Letterwriter

quote:

"For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?"

You are Mr. Bennet, side character of Pride and Prejudice. You fathered five girls with the silliest woman alive and got bored raising them around #3. You needed to have a boy so that he'd inherit the estate, but you didn't. Whoops. You should be concerned about how they'll all survive once you drop dead, but you checked out of giving a gently caress a long time ago. You now amuse yourself by mocking people right to their faces but cleverly enough that they often can't tell. And by winding up your wife, which, to be fair, isn't hard. You come to realize late in the book that you've been an utter failure as a father in certain regards, but you even say yourself that you'll get over it "quicker than you should." I sound harsh, but you're a lot of fun even if you're not exactly Father of the Year.

Your role is Letterwriter.

A Snarky Letter To The Editor: Once per game you can post a message of up to 500 words on Discord. This message will be immediately posted in the thread by the mods (within reason, please ping us). It will be clearly marked as a message with quote tags, but will be completely anonymous.

PMuzz for MVP. I was gettable, but I think PMuzz might have been able to carry.

Sand's role stuff was kinda awkward.

-----

Shwinn getting a Hide off of the pirate mourner trigger was wild, especially since Myc never even had a Hide. I don't think that's how I would have done it, and I think that helped scum quite a bit. Yes, town could've gotten around it, but it gave a good scapegoat and sucked up the convo for most of a day.

Mods ran a really smooth game overall! This flavor wasn't particularly resonant with me, but it was well done and well-liked. I like this whole WIFOA thing.

And finally, congrats to YPM. I hope my game-ending post carried the wrestling torch well enough. Thank you for your service.

Congrats, scum! I'd been worried about your super low-powered team (terrible placing in the draft and your best shot, PMuzz, ended up Vanilla), but you pulled this off and earned your win! Mr Dorcy can now take his rightful place as the true heir of Pemberley, and Mary Bennet can finally rise from obscurity!

spacing in vienna: Jan 4, 2007; people they want us to fall down
but we won't ever touch the ground
we're perfectly balanced, we float around
til no one is here, do you hear the sound?; Lipstick Apathy

The shwinn thing: before game started we had a doc written up with a quick note on what each person would hypothetically gift to the mourner if they died. E.g. pgo was a vig, watcher was a watch. Vanilla didn't have anything. If it was a two power role loss, we'd flip a coin. If it was one power role and one VT, we'd go with the power role.

This created some weird spots for the hammerer and the pirate, because they didn't have roles that lent themselves easily to one-shot items. We could have handed them the same instructions -- dig for a treasure or hammer to get a random one-off -- but that felt underpowered. The idea was, for every two town deaths, the Mourner gets an item, not a chance at possibly scaring up an item. If it's n3 and instead of getting an item, the Mourner gets a chance to possibly hammer and get an item d4 or a chance to dig up a yard and maybe get an item n4 -- that's kind of not in keeping with what we wanted the role to be.

So we decided, if the pirate or hammerer died, we would randomize it from their possible lists of one shots they could have received, so that we were cutting out the middleman.

The real problem to me was that people didn't understand how the pirate role worked. What mycelia dug up was not in any way connected to whose house it was -- we randomized a list of items to yards.

So the assumption was that mycelia had a hide that shwinn inherited -- incorrect but it works logically -- but then everyone assumed the hide could only have come from sandwolf, which wasn't the case at all. I think that's what got everything tangled.

If you disagree with how we handled it, that's fine, these were all experimental roles we were trying out. Sorry to shwinn that that put him in a bad position. But I think there was a pile up of assumptions that got looped back onto themselves -- it wasn't just that one decision.

Oh lol the sand stuff was a misunderstanding -- at the beginning he said he didn't care what character he got and asked us to pick a real sleazebag for him, not realizing I think that roles were connected to characters. So he ended up with George Wickham, Hider.

Yeah I was very happy that other people didn't catch on to this, I think I was the main person pushing this interpretation (because it made Shwinn look worse). Hal got to the correct spot at some point, but the damage has been done.

My misinterpretation of the circle busdrive role was genuine though.

I think a better way to phrase Mourner might have been "gets one-shot based on dead town players' roles."
