[collapse=all roles]
You are Troy. You hate Spanish class and can't stand the idea of Señor Chang punishing you for something you didn't do (although it was, you admit, a pretty good idea and you wish you had thought of it first). You're the town nurse. If and when a town doctor dies, you will assume their abilities effective the phase following their death (Day, Twilight, or Night). You will be notified when and if these powers are activated. You are town-aligned and win when all threats to town are eliminated.
You are Jeff Winger, a town nurse. Curiously, you had nothing to do with vandalizing Chang's moped. (This is in spite of the fact that he beat up your car with a keytar... which happened after he was no longer a Spanish teacher, so the continuity gods are already very much offended.) You also don't really want to get involved in this whole thing because of your laid back nature, but you know you might need to if it comes to it. Thus, if and when a town doctor dies, you will assume their abilities effective the phase following their death (Day, Twilight, or Night). You will be notified when and if these powers are activated. You are town-aligned and win when all threats to town are eliminated.
You are Buddy. Remember that one time you were there, in the class, with the other guys who were in the class too? Yeah? That makes one of us. But that'll make it all the more dramatic should you step out of the shadows as town nurse. If and when a town doctor dies, you will assume their abilities effective the phase following their death (Day, Twilight, or Night). You will be notified when and if these powers are activated. You are town-aligned and win when all threats to town are eliminated.
You are Shirley, town nurse. If and when a town doctor dies, you will assume their abilities effective the phase following their death (Day, Twilight, or Night). You will be notified when and if these powers are activated. You are town-aligned and win when all threats to town are eliminated.
You are Starburns. You have sideburns that are shaped like stars. Hence the name. Starburns. You are a town nurse. If and when a town doctor dies, you will assume their abilities effective the phase following their death (Day, Twilight, or Night). You will be notified when and if these powers are activated. You are town-aligned and win when all threats to town are eliminated.
You are Annie. Since you are Jewish, I could make a joke about Jewish doctors here. But I won't, because you're not a doctor--you're a town nurse. If and when a town doctor dies, you will assume their abilities effective the phase following their death (Day, Twilight, or Night). You will be notified when and if these powers are activated. You are town-aligned and win when all threats to town are eliminated.
You are the human being, Greendale's racially ambiguous mascot. You're also a town nurse. If and when a town doctor dies, you will assume their abilities effective the phase following their death (Day, Twilight, or Night). You will be notified when and if these powers are activated. You are town-aligned and win when all threats to town are eliminated.
You are Abed, jack of certain trades. Each Night you can use any one of the following abilities. You may use each ability only once; if the ability fails for some reason, you will not be able to use it again:
You are Britta. You are a buzzkill. Or so you're told. You're also a feminist, so it's fitting that you're the town nurse. If and when a town doctor dies, you will assume their abilities effective the phase following their death (Day, Twilight, or Night). You will be notified when and if these powers are activated. You are town-aligned and win when all threats to town are eliminated.
You are Señor Chang, the mafia godfather. Weird, right? So it turns out this whole thing is a scam. You're kind of broke (it's not like being a Spanish teacher at a community college pays well), and you sort of want a new moped that you just can't afford. So you conspired with a couple other people--Professor Slater (Clownbot) and Pierce (SwordsRBroken)--to vandalize it, leaving you to collect your insurance money and a sweet new ride. (They'll, of course, each be compensated for their trouble.) Now all that you need to do is ensure this doesn't come back to you--you just need to be able to pin this on someone else.
Each Night your faction may select one player for a Night kill. One member of your faction must decide who should be targeted and which faction member will target that person for the kill. (Please do not send me multiple or conflicting actions--I am letting you collectively decide whose responsibility it will be to send me this action, so please coordinate accordingly.) You are mafia-aligned and win when all members outside your faction have been eliminated, or nothing can prevent the same.
Here is a fake claim you may elect to refer to during the game:
You are Señor Chang. You're a vanilla townie. Someone, under the cover of darkness, vandalized your moped last night. You're sure it was one of the students in your Spanish class--they left a note, and some of the words looked like they might have been Spanish, so you're sure of it! Unwilling to leave things up to law enforcement, you're determined to find out who was responsible for this heinous act yourself, even if it kills yo--well, within reason. Unfortunately, you have no special powers to aid you, so you'll have to rely on your, erm, wits. You are town-aligned and win when all threats to town are eliminated.
You are Professor Slater, a mafia goon. You're one of the people responsible for vandalizing Chang's moped, along with Pierce (SwordsRBroken) and... Señor Chang (Overswarm). Turns out Chang needs the insurance money or something. It's all worked out so far--but now you all need to elude suspicion.
Each Night your faction may select one player for a Night kill. One member of your faction must decide who should be targeted and which faction member will target that person for the kill. (Please do not send me multiple or conflicting actions--I am letting you collectively decide whose responsibility it will be to send me this action, so please coordinate accordingly.) You are mafia-aligned and win when all members outside your faction have been eliminated, or nothing can prevent the same.
Here is a fake claim you may elect to refer to during the game:
You are Professor Slater. No one's quite sure why you're stuck here in this Spanish class--you are, after all, a statistics professor--but so it goes. Your role is that of the town nurse. If and when a town doctor dies, you will assume their abilities effective the phase following their death (Day, Twilight, or Night). You will be notified when and if these powers are activated. You are town-aligned and win when all threats to town are eliminated.
You are Pierce, a mafia goon. You're one of the people responsible for vandalizing Chang's moped, along with Professor Slater (Clownbot) and... Señor Chang (Overswarm). Turns out Chang needs the insurance money or something, and you could also happen to use an A in his class. It's all worked out so far--but now you all need to elude suspicion so you can claim your prize.
Each Night your faction may select one player for a Night kill. One member of your faction must decide who should be targeted and which faction member will target that person for the kill. (Please do not send me multiple or conflicting actions--I am letting you collectively decide whose responsibility it will be to send me this action, so please coordinate accordingly.) You are mafia-aligned and win when all members outside your faction have been eliminated, or nothing can prevent the same.
Here is a fake claim you may elect to refer to during the game:
You are Pierce. You're old! And confused. And confusing. But never mind that, because you have an important role: town nurse! If and when a town doctor dies, you will assume their abilities effective the phase following their death (Day, Twilight, or Night). You will be notified when and if these powers are activated. You are town-aligned and win when all threats to town are eliminated.

- Clap: you may clap your hands.
- Ponder deeply: you may ponder the state of affairs in the world.
- Scheme: you may concoct a grand plan to catch the mafia for the following Day.
- Investigate: you may choose one other living player and determine their alignment.

Random notes from your mod:
- Abed's abilities that sound useless were useless. He'd get a tongue-in-cheek result PM or something just to kind of drive that home if he tried any of those useless things, but he never tried them anyway so it didn't matter. N1 he investigated Swiss and got an inno, N2 he killed Rockin.
- With the exception of Abed and Chang, I wrote all the roles as town nurses. Then I RNG'd everyone's alignment and gave the mafia goons their town PMs as fake claims. Abed was town aligned because I liked him as a JoaT (or JocT, whatever) and Chang was the godfather because like whoa I have to try to fool you guys somehow right? Plus a sample PM in the OP that turns out to actually be in the game (even if he's really the mafia godfather not a vanilla townie)? [thread=253458]Oh god that's almost something we've seen before[/thread]
- In retrospect it would've been awesome had I used the study group and the fake study group from Abed's films as characters in the game, and not told anyone if they were real or fake. Would've made claiming even more fun than it was in this game.
- Everyone's a town nurse? [thread=253458]Oh god that's almost something we've seen before[/thread]
- Props to OS. I think. I was thinking he was making himself too obvious for awhile--I understand "be so scummy that I can't possibly actually be scum" but in the best case that's a whole load of WIFOM and usually townies won't think that far ahead. They're much more likely to just notice you're pushing lynches on townies and draw the obvious conclusion, as much as your personal meta might seem like a good counterargument. I'm really shocked that he didn't get lynched by the end because there were a few times in there I thought it would happen. He defended swords, like, a lot before he got lynched, then pushed a lynch on Roxy for no reason at all even after swords flipped scum. He basically didn't get called out on any of that. Which is weird, because I thought there were some decent players playing on the town's side, even if town's play overall was (obviously) not great. OS was fantastic D4 though, he brought some serious intensity and urgency to the game when it wasn't strictly necessary, all to heighten confusion and try to get a townie to screw up.
- Mafia really had this game won by the time D4 started. OS could have been lynched and somehow Dancer had managed to become the token townie-by-consensus-in-lylo. He was set up to be the decider in a 3 man lylo, which is fantastically difficult to pull off, so credit to scum for managing that.
- I doubt I'll ever really understand the urge to rush lylo situations. Stuff happened ridiculously quickly today, no one took their time, and, well, you saw what happened.
- I think Swiss would drive me nuts if I had to play with him. To each his own, though.
