Sample Role PM

Welcome to Nouns Mafia,

Drakethefake

You are

Ralph Nader

, a tireless political warrior for freedom and the American people. Since, despite this, nobody much likes you, you are merely a

Vanilla Townie

, able to post and vote like any true American (of course, it's unlikely that you yourself will manage to win many votes). You win when all threats to the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent the same.

Please confirm in the thread. Direct any questions to me via PM.

[DraketheFake]

Role PMs

ho. Confirm by posting. Once I have 10 confirmations

Votes

will count.

Edit: All roles sent. Now you may confirm.

[DraketheFake]

That's 10 confirms.

Day 1

begins.

Deadline:

Friday November 27th, 12:00 PM EST

[DraketheFake]

Parhelic

still hasn't picked up his role PM and has one more day to do so before I replace him.

Hi I'm here. Sorry I've been a bit awol lately, and that deadline never got posted. Scene forthcoming.

Aargh, sorry folks my travel plans have gone entirely to shit thanks to this forthcoming blizzard and I spent most of the night trying to fix everything at the last minute. I'll post a scene later but suffice it to say that

Mafia Roleblocker

[DraketheFake]

Oh man, very sorry all. Holidays + blizzard causing internet outages = my lack of communicativeness. I'll have a day scene up late tonight. Sorry again. I know I've been flaky of late.

I'll have role PMs up eventually. Apologies again on these last few delays, I thought I would have much more access on a road trip than I ended up having. My bad on telling you all before I left.

[DraketheFake]

I'll have the roles up after I get back from a late-night diner run.

@Stranger: You were nominally untargetable (it prevented elvis from redirecting your kill the night before), but the Arsonist's kills were unpreventable, which overrode your passive ability. As you'll see when the full role PMs are up.

[DraketheFake]

Oh no, there was no mod error. The Arsonist's kills were intended to be unpreventable by roleblock, protect, or by your passive ability.

Obviously, no roles have yet been posted. However, I have literally nothing to do tomorrow after I sleep in, so look forward to them then (if still interested).
