You are a member of The Joycat Nomads.

You are Sealed.

Great Tree Ritual
Night Action — Key Multitaskable
Submit a post to the hosts made by an unallied player during the previous Day that includes the word “tree”. If this is the fourth time you’ve used this action, The damn trees becomes Inactive.

MAKE THEM STOP
Night Action — Key
Kill target player whose posts have received X Super Likes during the previous Day where X is equal to 1/3 of the number of (living) allied players, rounded up.

You are bystander, Mafia Notification Hater. The worst part of FoL is how many notifications you get. I mean, just one person has to click the little heart on your post, and now your notifications have gone up by one? It’s absurd. Fortunately, you’ve developed a way to defeat the notifications once and for all: gun.

You win if no more threats to the Mafia exist or nothing can prevent that from happening.

Rapid Role Acquisition
Immediate Action — 1-shot Multitaskable
Gain the role and Charges of target dead allied player whose role was revealed, and keep Great Tree Ritual and The damn trees. You, the targeted player, and abilities gained this way become Sealed.

You are Gorta, insomnia, and an_gorta_slanktai, Mafia Squire. Once upon a time, one of you failed to submit a night action because you were doing yardwork, and the rest of the community has never let you live it down. It even got to the point that another of you created an entire alt based around your legendary playstyle. This game, we’re bringing back that same spirit of imitation, and letting you imitate your teammates – but watch out for the trees.

You win if no more threats to the Mafia exist or nothing can prevent that from happening.

Advantage Announcement

The Joycat Nomads have gained the Advantage!

EoD5 Flavor

inspired by the Saint Crispin’s Day speech

No, my fair townie:
If we are doomed to lose, we are enough
To do our faction loss; and if to win,
The harder fight, the greater share of honour.
Host’s will! I beg thee, wish not one town more.
By Corax, I don’t covet stronger roles,
Nor care I who earns prizes from events;
It yearns me not if they my cookies steal;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires:
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my friend, wish not a town from spec chat:
Host’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one town more, methinks, would share from me
For the best plays I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, dead Creature, through my host,
That they which hath no wish to play this game,
Let them depart; their exit shall be made
And shots each session put into their corpse:
We would not die in that one’s legacy
That fears their faction lose, if here they die.
This mash is called the anni “F-A-M”:
They that defeat the wolves, and come safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when awards are named,
And rouse them at the name of F-A-M.
They that shall win this game, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil post on Discord,
And say ‘To-morrow is F-A-M:’
Then will they link this game and show their scars.
And say ‘These shots I took in F-A-M.’
All town forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But they’ll remember with advantages
What feats they did in FAM: then shall our names.
Familiar in their mouth as homiecat
Wazza the king, Creature and Zone the Q,
Baudib and Achro, Meuh and Derps-a-lot
Be in their DVCs freshly remember’d.
This story shall good players tell their child;
And anni F-A-M shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the site,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of townies;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be a townie; be he flipped as wolf,
This day shall gentle his alignment:
And those who watch from spec chat, not the game
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their hist’ry cheap while any speaks
That fought with us inside the mash today!

Just a small town girl
Postin’ here on FoL
She sent a midnight /in going anywhere
Just a wolfy boy
Born and raised in Throne of Lies
He sent a midnight /in going anywhere

A player in a massive thread
At feedback time you’ll end up dead
Use some guile and you’ll share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Posters waitin’
Up and down the cookie thread
Their shadows searchin’ in the night
Nightposts, last wills
Livin’ just to find the wolfteam
Hidin’, somewhere in the night

Workin’ hard to live the days
Everyone wants ITAs
Payin’ anything to roll the dice
Just one more time

Some’ll win, some will lose
Some know when it’s time to choose
Whoa, the game thread never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Posters waitin’
Up and down the cookie thread
Their shadows searchin’ in the night
Nightposts, last wills
Livin’ just to find the wolfteam
Hidin’, somewhere in the night

Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to that feelin’
Day start, it’s time

Don’t stop believin’
Hold on
Day start, it’s time

Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to that feelin’

Zone_Q11
Town Divine General of the Thirty-six Stratagems

You are a member of The Joycat Nomads .

You are a Reviewer.

Rise of the Yellow Turban
Day Action — Compulsive Key
Roll 1d6 to randomly choose a Stratagem-Chapter ability:

1. Winning Stratagems
2. Enemy Dealing Stratagems
3. Offensive Stratagems
4. Mixed Warfare Stratagems
5. Combined Stratagems
6. Defeat Stratagems

The chosen ability loses Inactive until the beginning of the next Day. Then, roll 1d6, and you may only choose the mode of Stratagem-Chapter actions that correspond to the chosen number during the next Night.
(In other words, you’re doing the equivalent of rolling 1d36 to determine which action you can use tonight. The construction is just more complicated for flavor reasons.)

Winning Stratagems
Night Action — Compulsive Inactive Stratagem-Chapter
Choose 1 (this was determined by your last d6 roll for Rise of the Yellow Turban):

1. Make target player Hidden during this Night.
2. Threaten target player by having the hosts privately send them a message that a player will attack them “with fire and brimstone if you don’t leave your fortifications,” and are instructed to choose 1 of Leave or Stay before the end of the Day. If they choose Leave , ITA shots targeting the chosen player deal an additional +12 ITA damage. If they choose Stay or have chosen neither, ITA shots targeting them deal an additional +6 ITA damage.
3. Order target player to shoot another target player with their first ITA shot during the next Day. If the first ITA shot fired by the first targeted player does not target the second targeted player, it will miss.
4. Send target player a puzzle of choice, and they will be informed that if they submit a correct solution to the puzzles to the hosts before the end of the Day, they will receive a prize. If they submit a correct solution, their next ITA shot will deal an additional +3 ITA damage. (The puzzle must have text-based instructions available and must be solvable without resorting to brute force or trial and error. It must not require money, an external account, or the installation of software to play. We reserve the right to reject puzzles for reasons not listed here.)
5. Make target player become Cursed until the end of the next Day. If they die while Cursed, you receive any items they had.
6. It will be publicly announced that the moon is going to crash down on a contiguous 20 player slice of the player list, and announced after the next ITA window that the moon has safely returned to orbit. During the next ITA window, your ITA shots targeting players announced to be in the path of the moon deal an additional +6 ITA damage.

Enemy Dealing Stratagems
Night Action — Compulsive Inactive Stratagem-Chapter
Choose 1 (this was determined by your last d6 roll for Rise of the Yellow Turban):

1. Send target player a message about another chosen player (you may choose yourself) that appears to be feedback from a Night action. It will be publicly announced that the targeted player received “falsified documents during the previous Night” at the end of the next Day. (We will present the message as is with the rest of feedback. If questioned, we will neither confirm nor deny the veracity of the feedback and refuse to answer questions regarding its providence until the public announcement is made. Please note that investigation results typically do not include the investigated player’s name, but your message will.)
2. It will be publicly announced that 3 “Demon Lord NPCs” have joined the game — Chiyou, Gonggong, and Huangdi — and may be targeted by ITA shots at the beginning of the next Day if there will be an ITA window. ITA shots targeting players who have targeted one of these NPCs resolve as if the shooter is Lucky (we roll twice, and choose the roll that is more likely to kill). It will be publicly announced that the “Demon Lord NPCs” have left the game after the last ITA window of the Day.
3. If you do not post until the first ITA window opens, your ITA shots deal an additional 18 damage until the end of the Day.
4. Choose a Reviewer, and create a private chat with the chosen player. (You will be informed of all living Reviewers when this mode is rolled.)
5. Make target player become Scapegoated, and make 4 other targeted players Exonerated until the end of the next Day. When a Scapegoated player dies, the first 2 times each Exonerated player is targeted by an ITA shot, that shot will miss. (This protection goes away at the end of the Day when they’re no longer Exonerated. The shots do no damage, and the feedback will be “Miss!’)
6. Give target player a Pilfer Mark . If a player ever has 2 different Marks on them, they die. (Having 2 Pilfer Marks won’t kill a player. It must be a Pilfer Mark, and some other kind of Mark.)

Offensive Stratagems
Night Action — Compulsive Inactive Stratagem-Chapter
Choose 1 (this was determined by your last d6 roll for Rise of the Yellow Turban):

1. The message “[Your username] howled and danced in the moonlight!” will be publicly announced at the beginning of the next Day.
2. Choose a Key action from target dead allied player who was eliminated, and use that action, including all necessary choices and targets for that action with your submission. The chosen Key action becomes Sealed.
3. Give target player an additional +21 ITA damage when targeting members of the Town during the next Day, and they are informed of this bonus. If the targeted player kills a player with ITA shot during the next Day, your ITA shots targeting them deal an additional +21 ITA damage until the end of the Day.
4. Shield target player from the next 6 ITA shots that target them, making those shots miss, and they are informed of this. Other ITA shots targeting them will be a direct hit if they would connect (this is permanent).
5. Place a bounty on target player, and it will be publicly announced that the first player to kill the targeted player with ITA shot “will be handsomely rewarded.” If a player kills the targeted player with an ITA shot during the next Day, they deal an additional +1 ITA damage, and you learn how many Super Likes they have per Day, how many Bonus Super Likes they have, and posts they gave Super Likes to during the previous Day.
6. Make target player who voted or fired an ITA shot a player who received at least 3 votes or was targeted by 3 ITA shots from other players (that is, they must have received at least 4 votes or been shot by at least 4 ITA shots, and your target must be among them) become Ill-Omened until the end of the next Day. If an Ill-Omened player dies, you are protected from the next action or ITA shot that targets you (if they are multiple Night actions, we will go by order of submission).

Mixed Warfare Stratagems
Night Action — Compulsive Inactive Stratagem-Chapter
Choose 1 (this was determined by your last d6 roll for Rise of the Yellow Turban):

1. Reduce target player’s ITA damage by an additional -9.
2. The message " " will be publicly announced at the beginning of the next Day.
3. Message the hosts from a new FoL account, and your account will be substituted for the account you messaged the hosts on at the beginning of the next Day.
4. Protect target player from non-killing actions until the end of the next Night.
5. Invite target player who has at least 10 living players between you, both above and below, on the player list, and create a private chat. (The bottom of the player list wraps to the top.)
6. Submit a post to the hosts from another player that contains a sincere “town read” of you from the previous Day, and steal their ITA damage during the next Day (their shots lose all damage, and your shots deal additional damage equivalent to the damage lost). If you kill a player with an ITA shot during the next Day, you gain an additional ITA shot that can only target the player you stole from.

Combined Stratagems
Night Action — Compulsive Inactive Stratagem-Chapter
Choose 1 (this was determined by your last d6 roll for Rise of the Yellow Turban):

1. Make target player become Hungry until they use an action. (Hungry means the Charge cost of their actions are doubled.)
2. Write a message to the hosts that contains a “scum read” of 1 player (and only 1 player) that does not mention them by name that only contains text (or emoji) and is 250 characters or less to be publicly announced at the beginning of the next Day. (This post will obviously not be an official host announcement.)
3. You must “UwUify” your posts until the end of the Day, and your ITA damage is doubled. If the hosts ever believe you have failed to obey the posting restriction, you will lose the ITA damage bonus.
4. Set a Domain of Demise Trap that will be active during the next Day, and is triggered by the first player who kills a player with an ITA shot that has not been fired at by another player that Day. ITA shots targeting any player other than the triggering player will be ignored until the triggering player is dead or the current ITA window ends. This will be publicly announced.
5. Give target player an Elixir of Flowers item. This item is consumable, but the targeted player will not know what it does when consumed. It does nothing when consumed.
6. Send two target players into a private chat during the next Night. While in this private chat, each player is instructed to submit a target for the other player before the middle of the Night, and each player must target the player given to them with actions they use during the Night. If a players fails to submit a target, they will choose themselves.

Defeat Stratagems
Night Action — Compulsive Inactive Stratagem-Chapter
Choose 1 (this was determined by your last d6 roll for Rise of the Yellow Turban):

1. Send target player a message that contains no text, and an image you think is pretty. (Submit the image to the hosts, and your target. Do NOT DM the player on your own.)
2. It will be publicly announced that you will “DESTROY” anyone who interacts with you at the beginning of the next Day. Nothing will happen if they do.
3. It will be publicly announced that “wolf chat contains an imposter” at the beginning of the Day. It will be publicly announced that “wolf chat doesn’t actually contain an imposter” at the end of the next Night.
4. Make ITA shots that target you deal an additional +12 damage during the next Day. This is publicly announced.
5. Choose another mode of any Stratagem-Chapter. Roll 2d6 to randomly choose another mode of a Stratagem-Chapter (the first die determines the chapter, the second choose the mode). You may use all actions chosen this way during the Night (even if it’s the same mode or modes from the same chapter). This mode resolves as if it were Immediate.
6. During the next Day, you cannot vote, be voted for, use Innate actions (ITA Shots, Super Likes), or be targeted by Innate actions. It will be publicly announced at the beginning of the next Day that you have “tactically retreated from the game, and will return” along with the other effects of this action. It will be publicly announced that you “have made your return to the battlefield” at the beginning of the next Night.

• Inspect target player, and learn how healthy they are (Healthy, Wounded, Bloodied).

DatBird, Solic, and Whysper
Town Legacy Hydra

You are a member of The Throne of Boomers.

You are Indebted.
You are a Socialist.
You are Folded. (Folded means the player’s abilities cannot be interacted with while they’re living or dead.)

You begin the game with 1 Dat Bird Charge, 1 Solic Charge, and 1 Whysper Charge.

Three People in a Trenchcoat
Passive — Key
You cannot gain Charges. You have X Super Likes per Day where X is the number of Charges you have. If you would be killed by an ITA shot or during an event, lose a random Charge instead.
(If an ITA shot would kill you either via direct hit or reaching 0 HP, it doesn’t kill you and you take no damage. This will have the feedback of “Miss!”)

Bloodline-Restricted Holy Weapon
Night Action — Multitaskable
Grant another target player an additional +3 ITA damage. You must have at least 1 Dat Bird Charge to use this action.

Don’t Fear the Reaper

Passive

¹A secret is information only that player knows. Secrets you may learn are things like their Guild, posts they gave Super Likes to, choices (not targets) made for an action, etc. If information was publicly posted by the host (e.g. their Guild in the role card), it will not be considered a secret, but information posted by a player does not disqualify information from being a secret even if what the player posted was true. The hosts have rules that determine what secrets are given to minimize subjectivity.

You are DatBird, Solic, and Whysper, Town Legacy Hydra. Though none of you play very often any more, all of you are part of FoL’s history and helped make FoL the site it is today, whether through establishing moderation standards, spearheading the modern queue, or preserving records of our past and present. Since the three of you are so different, it’s hard to pick just one ability to capture your spirits; instead, you get one ability for each of your component players.

You win when the Mafia and all other threats to the Town have been eliminated.

With May’s death, Ash’s role has been revealed!
