GAME RULES

SPECIAL MECHANICS:

Spoiler: EPISODIC FORMAT

The day phase will be referred to as the 'Exposition' phase.
The night phase will be referred to as the 'Climax' phase.
Each pair of Exposition and Climax phases are referred to as an 'Episode'.
Each fourth Episode is a special episode called a 'Season Finale'.
At the start of a Season Finale, most limited-use abilities will regain a shot--notably, they can never exceed the amount of shots the ability began with. Your role PM will specific if you have an ability that regains shots in this way.
Some abilities only work during Season Finales.
When heading into Season Finales, players may submit an extra option for FUSIONS and ALLIANCES. Notably, you may not form an ALLIANCE or FUSION chain this way; your ALLIANCE or FUSION can only hold three members during Season Finales. If a chain is formed that is larger than three players, then players will only ALLY or FUSE with their first mutual pick of the two.

Spoiler: DIFFERENT RACES

Three 'race modifiers' exist within the Steven Universe Large Theme; Gems, Humans, and Others.
Gems are capable of fusing with other Gems and allying with both Humans and Others. They typically receive an extra ability for being a part of either a fusion or an alliance.
Humans are capable of forming alliances with Humans, Gems, and Others. They typically receive a limited-use ability for being a part of an alliance.
Others are capable of forming alliances with Others, Humans, and Gems. Notably, they do not gain any extra abilities for being a part of an alliance, but their own roles typically stronger to make up for this.

Spoiler: FUSIONS AND ALLIANCES

During each Climax phase, a player may submit (to the mod) the name of any one other player that they wish to ALLY or FUSE with.
If two players pick each other in this fashion, they begin the next Episode in either an ALLIANCE or a FUSION.
ALLIANCES and FUSIONS grant a temporary, Exposition-chat only neighborhood between all members of the ALLIANCE or FUSION.
If the members of an ALLIANCE or FUSION ever select a different player than their ALLIED or FUSED partner during Climax Phase, then their current FUSION or ALLIANCE will end and both players will lose access to their temporary neighborhood.
If two Gem players target each other, it will always end in a FUSION.
If two players target each other and any one of them is not a Gem, it will result in an ALLIANCE.
When heading into Season Finales, players may submit an extra player's name to ALLY or FUSE with, allowing larger ALLIANCES and FUSIONS during Season Finales.
If your allied or fused partner is killed or lynched, you will still retain the benefits of being in either a FUSION or ALLIANCE for the remainder of the episode.
These actions will resolve independent of all other abilities. Unless otherwise stated, no ability will normally interact with each player's ability to FUSE and ALLY.
Please refer to post 2182 for a reiteration of these rules if you still do not understand them.

GENERAL RULES:

Spoiler:

This game will start with a Day phase.
As a general rule you should aim for one post every 24 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.
If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – please don't leave us hanging!
Prods of missing players will be issued after 72 hours of no activity. Also, players may request a prod on another player after 48 hours. Any player may be replaced if they fail to post in-thread within 24 hours of being prodded by me or within 48 hours of being prodded after a player-suggested prod. If the game turns to night before you can respond to your prod, PM me letting me know you still want to play.
No prods will be issued during Night.
A player who is eligible for a third prod is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings and approved QTs. If someone contacts you outside the game you should report it to me immediately.

DURING THE DAY (EXPOSITION):

Spoiler:

Each Day will have a two-week deadline. Extensions will be given only in extreme circumstances, but always feel free to ask.
A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person (via voting) for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down).
If the deadline runs out before a majority lynch is agreed on, the day will end in a no-lynch.
Players may vote for a No-Lynch via voting for 'No Lynch'.
Once a player has reached a simple majority of votes no further unvoting will change their fate.
Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players may continue to post.
Once you are dead (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for a brief “Bah!”-type post that contains NO game related information.
Votes should be bolded or tagged or they may not be counted (e.g. VOTE: Player or VOTE: Player).
Vote revocations should be bolded or tagged or they may not be counted (e.g. VOTE: UNVOTE: Player or Unvote). Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
Votes/Unvotes must be placed on a line all by themselves to make them easier for everyone to see.
Votes/Unvotes that reasonably follow the guidelines specified above, and are unambiguous with respect to player nicknames/abbreviations, will count.
Vote counts will be edited into the first post of each page (so long as I can keep up, yo). Other announcements and requested vote counts will receive their own post.

DURING THE NIGHT (CLIMAX):

Spoiler:

Night will have a 72-hour deadline. Extensions will not be given, unless a player has to be replaced during the Night.
If you have a role with a Night action, your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
If you expect not to be here to submit your night action during the night, you may send one in in advance.
Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).

MISCELLANEOUS:

Spoiler:

Please bold all requests to myself so that they don’t get missed.

Do not use standard MafiaScum purple (#800080). This is my color. All other colors are fine.

No invisible/small/encrypted text is allowed (if you can't read it, don't post it).
You are not allowed to edit your posts, if you have the ability to do so.
If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM me privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
If you do not understand how your role functions, feel free to PM me.
If you want to chat about delicious pizza and great cartoons, you can PM me about that, too.
I may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill, as the Mod sees fit. Modkills may be accompanied by a change to day/night and the offender’s role will be changed to Neutral Survivor, which guarantees a loss.
- Just know, it's all about intention. If you genuinely mess up, I'll try to cut you some slack. If I determine you're trying to compromise the integrity of the game though, you won't be too happy with the punishment.
Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject to my discretion and will be handled as I see fit on a case-by-case basis.
I reserve the right to modify these rules at any time, so long as I inform you in thread.

THE GOLDEN RULE:

Spoiler:

Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun!
I created Steven Universe Mafia to bring people together and celebrate a show and game I love, but, ultimately, to have fun time on site.
Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game. Playing to win does not preclude being considerate of each other! Be cool.

SAMPLE ROLEPM:

Spoiler:

Sample Role PM - Uncle Grandpa

Vanilla Plothole (Beach City Resident)

Don't worry, bro! None of this is canon.

Obviously, we're dealing with some super-powerful reality-warping entity Your race is Other . This means that you do not gain any unique abilities from fusing or allying with other players. Are you forming a secret club? Can we join too? Each Climax phase, you may target a player to ALLY with. Refer to the Rules Post in the thread for how ALLIANCES function. See with eyes unclouded by hate, and always remember to say Good Morning! You win the game when all threats to the Beach City Residents have been defeated and at least one Beach City Resident is alive.

Due to the surprisingly low amount of SU-related imagery being posted, I've edited a few relevant/humorous images into my 'trivia' bumps. Enjoy <3

[Varsoon]

I have issued Ra9in9 Bull a warning.
I would like all players to keep play engaged with the game itself and keep distracting and off-topic play to a minimum.
I'd also like to reiterate that players should restrain themselves from blatant use of profanity and player-based insults.
The goal here is to have a game that's fun for

everyone

involved.
When we're not playing the game, or when we're not having fun, that's when things become an issue.
Before posting, please consider the questions; "How does this relate to the game?" and "Will this post ruin the fun?"

If you would ever like to discuss these policies or talk about the game, feel free to PM me.
Complaining to a player in-thread only serves as further distraction from the game. Bringing these issues to me firsthand lets us all resolve them.

The Crystal Gems were originally designed to look much different, but their pilot designs were simplified for the sake of keeping animation consistent, on-model, and less expensive. This was made into a plot-point on the show, as the gems may 'reform' into new bodies that have greater efficiency. When Pearl reforms in "Steven the Sword Fighter," you can catch a glimpse of these earlier designs.

Steven Universe makes use of lots of foreshadowing, both visual and otherwise.

"Look, Steven, I don't spend my whole day at work like some losers. I do... other things."

Steven gasped enthusiastically at Lars' display of coolness; Lars basked in the admiration, even if it was coming from Steven. Like most good moments, Steven had to ruin it.

"Do you fight monsters too? I can't be the only cool dude in Beach City that's defending humanity! I've got a shield but I'm still learning to use it--I wonder what your weapon would be like, Lars! I bet you'd get..."

Steven continued to talk, pumping his fists and then thrusting his belly forward several times, making little whooshing noises to match. With a groan, Lars tried to look like he wasn't associated with this kid. Of course, that's exactly then Buck Dewey strolled out of Fish Stew Pizza. Lars slumped down, trying to escape into some shadow where he wouldn't be seen with the still-rambling Steven.

"...and then Garnet was all 'that is not my donut' and--Oh, hey Buck!"

"Steven. How's it rollin'?"

"With four wheels... probably? I was just telling Lars here--"

Lars coughed and sputtered. Not only did Steven know Buck, but they were on first-name basis!? Lars scrambled for something cool to say, but just as the words came to him, something exploded from underneath the boardwalk, sending splinters everywhere.

The next few moments came as a blur to Lars;
The weird women Steven lives with were there, slinging shining weapons.
There was some sort of one-eyed giant crab fighting them.
Steven was standing over him and everything was pink.

When all the noise finally died down and Lars came to, Steven was still at his side. Grouped around him were Steven's weird friends--the tall afro-lady, the pale ballerina, and the annoying girl who keeps breaking the dumpster.

"Yay! We saved you, Lars!"

The pale woman sighed, as if dejected, "But we couldn't defeat that monster and bubble its gem. It's still out there."

The tall one was stalwart in her simple reply, "All that matters is that we saved the city. Right, Steven?"

"Right!"

Steven smiled to Lars. Was that supposed to be reassuring? Forget that! Lars scrambled up and shook his head. There was no way the Cool Kids would hang with him now that they knew he fainted at the sight of monsters. Even worse, there were actual monsters! Lars huffed and backed away from Steven and the weird women that gathered around him. "No. No--I'm getting out of here! You guys can deal with this stupid junk on your own! Ugh, Steven, you ruin everything!"

I don't spend my whole life at work. I do... other things.

If I weren't so modest about my sweet six-pack, I'd show you what a real man looks like! Your race is Human . You gain specific bonuses for being in an ALLIANCE. Do you ever get lonely... even when you're around people? Each Climax phase, you may target a player to ALLY with. Refer to the Rules post in the thread for how ALLIANCES function. Yo Sadie, where you at? Are you slacking off? You begin the game in an ALLIANCE with Sadie (vezokpiraka): [ALLIANCE PT LINK REDACTED] Why does everything bad happen to me? It takes one less vote than it normally would in order to reach a majority vote on your slot. You lose this ability during LYLO. Who do you think has to clean up this mess? You may only use this ability if you are part of an ALLIANCE. Once per game, you may redirect all abilities targeting you during the Climax phase to another player of your choice. During the Season Finale, you gain another use of this ability, but it can never exceed one unused shot. If I'm going to be bored out of my mind, and possibly die, I'm gonna go to work, and get paid for it. You win the game when all threats to the Beach City Residents have been defeated and at least one Beach City Resident is alive.

It is now the Climax Phase of Episode 1.

Please remember to send in your submissions for Fusing/Allying; this can be done in addition to any other action you perform.

The Gems finally managed to trap the crab monster in a seaside cave, but the terrain proved far too dangerous for Steven to continue. "I'll watch over him," volunteered Pearl, although, with hesitance, she added, "Although Amethyst should stay too. If she fights in that cave, it may all come crashing down."

Amethyst growled in protest, "Would not! Ugh! You

always

do this!"

Pearl, in a matter-of-a-fact tone, replied, "That's because you

always

break everything you can when you fight. Garnet, tell Amethyst I'm right--Garnet?" She was gone. While Amethyst and Pearl argued, Garnet had already disappeared into the cave. Pearl looked back to Amethyst sheepishly while Steven pleaded, "Guuys. Please don't fight."

Hours passed as Steven and Amethyst found ways to occupy the time. After playing tic-tac-toe in the sand and chasing each other around the beach, they eventually realized they were waiting too long. Steven piped up, "Pearl? You should go check up on Garnet."

"You're right. She's usually much more punctual than this," Pearl nodded.
With that, Pearl disappeared into the cave, only to return minutes later with tears streaming down her face, something clasped between her hands. Steven and Amethyst drew close and Pearl opened her closed palms in silence. In her hands were two gems, fractured and on the brink of shattering. She formed a bubble around both and the three returned to their temple, defeated.

Cheetory6 was broken beyond recognition during Episode 1's Climax.

There are millions of possibilities for the future, but it's up to you to choose which becomes reality.

You can link your mind with the energy of all existing matter, channeling the collective power of the universe through your gem! Your race is Gem . You will gain specific bonuses dependent on if you in a FUSION or an ALLIANCE. You are not two people, and you are not one person. You, are an experience! Each Climax phase, you may target a player to ALLY or FUSE with. Ruby must also choose the same player for the FUSION or ALLIANCE to be successful. Refer to the Rules Post in the thread for how ALLIANCES and FUSIONS function. It's okay, I'm never alone. You know that Ruby (Cheetory6) is aligned with the Beach City Residents. If either one of you or Ruby dies, so does the other. You begin the game in a FUSION with Ruby. Your FUSION with Ruby will not end during the end of each Episode. You may chat with Ruby during both the Exposition and Climax phases of each Episode via this Private Topic: [REDACTED] Time is like a river that splits into creeks or pools into lakes or careens down waterfalls. You may only use this ability if you are in a FUSION. Once per game, you may target a player during the Exposition phase to learn what their role is (independent of factional information). During the Season Finale, you gain an extra use of this power, but it can never exceed one unused shot. I have the map, and I steer the ship. You may only use this ability if you are a part of an ALLIANCE. Once per game, you may ask any one question about the setup itself (this specifically does not include questions about alignments, players, or posts). During the Season Finale, you gain an extra use of this power, but it can never exceed one unused shot. We can't keep fighting these things forever. Well, we can, but I don't want to. You win the game when all threats to the Beach City Residents have been defeated and at least one Beach City Resident is alive.

After much discussion, Sonic X will continue to play.
However, replacing out your partner without their explicit permission is a clear violation of the sort of trust that comes with playing on a Hydra account.
Metal Sonic will be issued a warning and, on any further infractions of a similar nature, may face a harsher punishment than being force-replaced.

[Varsoon]

Since there are several anime influences in Steven Universe (such as Sailor Moon and Utena), it's not surprising that the characters within the series are fascinated with Japanese pop-culture, too. Connie utters 'itadakimasu' before eating and Steven owns a some Sailor Moon!

CUE MUSIC

There wasn't much time--the monster from before had returned to Beach City and was threatening residents. The Crystal Gems could no longer mourn the loss of Garnet. Spirits low, they thrust themselves into battle; Amethyst trying to keep the beast's claws closed with her whip as Pearl skirted through the battlefield hoping find whatever could be its weakspot. Steven, sweating bullets, worried aloud, "What can I do?!"

"Show it your moves, Steven!"

"No! Steven should stay safe! If only

Rose

where here..."

As if the idea sparked a lightbulb above Steven's head, he started running off, calling back, "Maybe my mom

can

be here!"

Meanwhile the gems distracted the beast. Amethyst took its mighty blows and kept fighting, turning into a huge, burly puma in order to pin down the monster's pincers. Pearl dodged its skittering legs, her movements were so elegant, perfect, and graceful. With a hard swallow, Mayor Dewey pensively watched the battle tearing across his boardwalk. The voters would not like this. Dewey tapped his fingers across the steering wheel of his van and felt he should do something to curb this conflict, but all he could find within him was hesitance and enchantment with the Crystal Gems' fighting prowess.

Steven returned with his father and Rose's Quartz Cannon. Frantically, they both tried to activate it, but there seemed to be no hope. Greg slumped down and sighed, "It's okay, kiddo. If every porkchop were perfect..."

"...we wouldn't have hotdogs. Yeah, dad, I kn--" As if activated by the phrase alone, the cannon began to unfurl and glow with power. Steven and Greg shared a collective gasp and scrambled to their feet, aiming the canon at the rampaging monster. In unison, they cried out, "IF EVERY PORKCHOP WERE PERFECT, WE WOULDN'T HAVE HOTDOGS!"

A brilliant light burst forth from the cannon, resembling the silhouette of a powerful warrior charging into battle. The beast was sent flying back, right into Mayor Dewey's van. Pearl let loose a cathartic laugh and Amethyst high-fived Steven. The crippled Mayor Dewey even managed to choke up, "Nice job, Universe."

During the Exposition of Episode 2, TunnelWarriors was hospitalized by a shot from the Laser Light Cannon.

They were

You know I gotta get that youth vote, boi!

Look Steven, it's not lying when you're the mayor - it's politics. Your race is Human . You gain specific bonuses for being in an ALLIANCE. Gonna help the old man get re-elected again, eh? Each Climax phase, you may target two players to ALLY with. Refer to the Rules post in the thread for how ALLIANCES function. Note that during the Season Finale, you may submit up to four options to ALLY and have an ALLIANCE of a maximum of four players. Universe, what's this thing in the sky? As a politician, pointing fingers make me very nervous. Once per game, during Climax phase, you may arm yourself to reflexively kill any player who kills you. During the Season Finale, you gain another use of this ability, but it can never exceed one unused shot. Evacuate? Hmm. Evacuate. Could be tough. I'll need a catchy slogan. You may only use this ability during a Season Finale. You must be in an ALLIANCE to use this ability. Once per game, during Climax phase, you may force your entire ALLIANCE to become unable to be affected by any abilities and use any abilities. That's the real weight I carry, making the good people of Beach City feel better, safer, more secure. You win the game when all threats to the Beach City Residents have been defeated and at least one Beach City Resident is alive.

I've made some changes to the Alliance and Fusion rules in an effort to make interactions a bit clearer.
For those still confused:

Spoiler: Fusion and Alliances, how do they work?:

1. Each Climax phase, you may target another player to Ally or Fuse with. This ability work independent of all other Climax actions--it can not be blocked, tracked, etc. unless otherwise explicitly stated.
2. At the end of each Climax Phase, living players who targeted each other will be granted an Exposition-Chat only neighborhood for the following Episode.
3. Most roles will gain access to abilities depending on if they are in an alliance or a fusion. The abilities you gain will always be written as a part of your role; there are no hidden abilities that are gained through alliances an fusions.
4. So long as you begin the Episode in an alliance or a fusion, you will have access to the abilities it provides you, if any. If your allied or fused partner is lynched or killed, you will still be able to access these abilities.
5. At the end of each Climax phase, Alliances and Fusions end--this means that unless you successfully ally or fuse again, you will lose access to any abilities gained.
6. During Season Finales, each player may be in larger alliances/fusions. During the Climax phase before a Season Finale, you may submit up to two targets for Fusion and/or Alliance, although no alliance or fusion may have more than 3 members this way.

Pearl peeled her spear forth from her gem and braced herself. She set her sights on the hulking crystal beast in front of her, exclaiming, "Pay attention, Steven!"

"Pay attention, Steven," scoffed Pearl as she tried to demonstrate the proper technique to defending oneself with a sword. Steven yawned and complained, "Come on, Pearl. We've been at it all day. I prefer Amethyst's training."

Pearl steamed, "Amethyst does

not

train! All she does

is laze about all day and make

tons

of trash

in her

room,

not to mention

the fact

that training

is imperative

now that Garnet is gone

--Am I a bad teacher?

Have I failed Rose?

Steven, you need to pay attention

Steven wandered off mid-rant, shaking his head. As he stepped back onto the telepad, he sighed, "I'm going to have to learn to do my gem-stuff on my own. That's what Garnet was trying to tell me, before..." Steven looks down to his palms and coils his fingers into fists. The telepad lit with energy, whisking him away from Pearl's training grounds.

Instead of returning to the Temple, Steven found himself in a desert. He blinked twice, doing a double take. "Woah, Beach City sure got way more... Beachy." He wandered for a moment, calling out for Amethyst, before turning back to the Crystal Telepad. "Guess it's time to go ba--woah!" In front of Steven was a full-grown lion with pink fur. It took a step towards Steven, eyeing him cautiously. "Amethyst... that's not funny. You can turn back now." The Lion tackled Steven, and after a tumble, Steven's cries turned to laughter. "Aww, you don't wanna fight! You just want to play!"

Meanwhile, at the temple, Pearl was in a fit throwing Steven's mattress from his bed. "Where is he, then, Amethyst!? He was supposed to be training with you!"

Amethyst groaned, opening the fridge and cabinets as she frantically tried to find Steven as well, "I don't know! He was with

you

, miss perfect! When he's not with you, he's always with Garnet!"

"Garnet's not here!"

Amethyst choked back tears, "I know! You think you're the only one who cares?!"

Before their argument could escalate, the front of the temple house was shattered by a hulking crystal monster. Amethyst immediately shape-shifted into a burly wrestler, tackling the beast. Just as Pearl began to head out of the temple, the Crystal Telepad lit up. Steven and Lion stepped out from the light. "Steven! Where have you been!? Is that a Lion? Nevermind that! There's a gem monster!"

As they all rushed outside, they found Amethyst struggling with the beast. Pearl peeled her spear forth from her gem and braced herself. She set her sights on the hulking crystal beast in front of her, exclaiming, "Pay attention, Steven!"

Pearl dived in against the beast, only to be knocked aside by its immense strength. Steven started to panic, unable to recall any of the training that he had before. As the beast closed in on him, Lion stepped forth to do battle with the beast. After a powerful exchange of blows, Lion finally sundered the beast, causing it to recede back into being a gem. Exhausted, Pearl bubbled the gem, smiling weakly to Steven. Steven rushed to Lion's side, "Oh no, buddy, you got really roughed up..."

Lion collapsed, panting heavily. Steven looked to Pearl, tears in his eyes, "Isn't there anything we can do for my friend? He saved me, but I can't save him..." Pearl looked solemn and remorseful, "Steven, I don't know. If only--" As if called forth by Steven's desperation, a pink bubble formed around the incapacitated Lion. Pearl gasped, "Rose's Bubble! Steven, we can keep Lion safe in the temple until we can find a way to cure him!" Steven looked up, hopeful and determined. He tapped the bubble containing Lion, sending his pet pal back to the temple.

"You just wait, my friend. One day, I'll be the guy saving you..."

"Oh, is that, like, Vidalia's kid?" Amethyst halfheartedly pondered, while munching on a bag of chips. Steven gasped, "You know Onion's mom?!" Amethyst shrugged and transformed into a cat, then started out the door. "Yeah. We haven't hung out in... euch. Ages. Maybe I'll check up on her."

Steven sighed and walked out to the beach, kicking over a large shell as he moped about. He began to reminisce about the last time he saw Garnet, Lars, and Mayor Dewey. Could Onion have met the same fate?

"What's wrong, my associate in mystery?"

Steven glanced up to notice Ronaldo, staring off into the horizon with a forlorn gaze. The young gem shook his head, "Onion's been missing and I really want to trade GUYS with him. Usually, it's like, when I want to find him, he's just around, y'know? I'm worried something might have happened. Things... keep happening to the people I care about."

Ronaldo took in a deep breath and patted Steven on the back. "Such is life, Steven. It is our duty to protect the innocent and let those simple people live their simple lives, without the burden of ever being friends with us."

"...but I like to be friends with people. Ugh. What would Garnet do?" Steven muses on it, imagining Garnet crossing her arms in a stoic fashion. Steven crosses his arms and contorts his face, trying to look cool.

"As insightful as your musings are, Steven, I must depart. The dark abyss of mystery is cooing my name, and I must answer her enchanting calls with stalwart repose. I hope that you can do the same, my friend. Adeiu." With that, Ronaldo slipped away, leaving Steven to his thoughts. Steven plopped down in the sand and laid out, staring up at the sun. The gulls seemed to mock him, flying free above him as if they had no worries.

"Mom, I don't know if I can protect them all. Maybe my friends are better off not knowing the trouble I'm in..."

During each Climax phase, you may target a player to steal something from them. At the beginning of the following Episode, you will be given a brief, flavor-oriented description of what you stole. This is ridiculous. How did he get my Replicator? You may only use this ability during a Season Finale. During the Exposition phase, you may target a player to steal an ability from them. They will be informed that their ability has been stolen but not who took it. You may use their ability for the rest of the game. I bet you get pretty lonely waiting for your dad all day. You were probably really bored too. And 'cause you missed your dad, you took my Ranger Guy, which is symbol of the relationship I have with my dad. No, just the first thing?

The upcoming Episode is the SEASON FINALE!

This means a few things:
-At the start of the Exposition phase, any ability that specifies that it will 'regain' a shot will do so.
-You may have an ability that only functions during the Season Finale.
-You may forge Fusions and Alliances up of to 3 players.

Here is how these expanded Fusions and Alliances will work:
You can submit an extra target to fuse/ally with. For the regular player, this means you will submit two options.
I would like you to order your fusion/alliance targets by preference.
If your 1st pick chooses to fuse/ally with you as their 1st pick, you will be given the appropriate neighborhood PT.
If your 2nd pick chooses to fuse/ally with you as their 1st pick, they will ONLY join in if they are your 1st choice's 2nd choice as well.
If you have questions, feel free to PM me.

"The perfect pancake stack is more than just breakfast... it is art." Steven precariously topped yet another pancake onto his stack of nearly a dozen before picking up a strawberry and hovering it cautiously over the stack. In the middle of the room, the warp-pad filled with light and Pearl stepped forth, a troubled look on her face. Steven's pancake stack slouched and he dropped the cherry. "What's up, buttercup?"

"Steven, my name is Pearl. We've been over this."

"Uh... give it a whirl, Pearl?"

Pearl just sighed and looked down to Steven with a soft smile. "I think it is time I showed you something."

Steven gasped, "Oh! Do I get to learn more super secret super awesome Gem magic? Oooh, no, wait, you didn't! You found a way to fix Garnet?"

Pearl shook her head, looking dismal once more. "No, Steven, I didn't--look, just take this seriously, okay?"

Steven nodded twice to her. "Right. Serious. Sorry."

Pearl led Steven through the warp and across a valley and up a small cliff, into a waterfall cave that opened into a large foyer. Once there, she beamed proudly, "

This

is what I wanted to show you. This is your mother's armory. Rose Quartz had lots of weapons and armor that she used to fight for Earth. And, now, Steven, they are yours."

Amethyst, stepping out from behind a pillar, exclaimed, "That's awesome! I didn't know Rose had all sorta neat stuff like this hidden away!"

At the sudden appearance of Amethyst, Pearl immediately flew into a fit, growling, "Amethyst! You weren't supposed to follow us!"

"Oh yeah!? What if a big monster shows up, what then? Now that Garnet is gone, we'll need Opal or there's no way that we stand a chance!"

Steven interrupted their fight, stepping between the two head-to-head gems. "Stop fighting! All you ever do is fight nowadays! But we have something more important to do than cause all these problems among ourselves! Pearl wanted to show me this room for a reason--I need to step up and be a Crystal Gem, but so do both of you! We're the ones who protect this planet. We should start acting like it." At this, both Amethyst and Pearl calmed down, sheepishly regarding each other with skirting eyes.

Amethyst spoke up first, "I'm sorry, Pearl. When we lost Rose, I felt like everyone was against me. When Garnet got bashed up, too, I just felt weak and useless..."

Pearl shook her head, tears welling in her eyes, "No, it's my fault, I should have stepped up and been a more stoic leader. I'm just so used to following someone stronger than me that I forgot what it was like to stand on my own. I wasn't aware how much I relied on Garnet to keep it together. I hope you can forgive me."

From the entrance, a deep voice cackled with laughter. "What a touching reunion from a bunch of rejects and weaklings. I was told there was Gem activity on this planet, but this is it?" The figure stepped forth from the darkness--she was a tall brute of a gem, with a cape slung over her broad shoulders. "What a pathetic display. But, heh, I've been itching for a fight. This better be worth my time."

The mystery-woman flung herself forward, a thick plated helm forming around her head as closed in for the kill. Steven met her advance, his shield gleaming brightly and stopping her in her tracks. She dug her feet into the ground and gritted her teeth, eyes going wide. "That shield! That's Rose's shield! What are you?"

Behind him, Amethyst and Pearl had already formed Opal and had a light arrow drawn in their bow. She let the arrow fly, defiantly retorting, "We are the Crystal Gems! We beat you back once and we'll do it again--get off of our planet!"

The gleaming arrow struck the surprised gem woman and threw her out of the cave and into the sky, disappearing with a glint. Steven turned to Opal and gave her a high-five, laughing triumphantly. Amethyst and Pearl split from their fusion and collapsed on Steven, laughing as well, exhausted from their endeavor. Steven looked back, wondering aloud, "Who was that?"

Pearl followed his gaze. "That was a Homeworld Gem... this won't be the last we hear from them."

Steven pressed a fist into his palm, looking to Amethyst, who nodded reassuringly. He grinned, "Then we'll just have to do our duty and protect Earth. Eazy peazy, pumpkin smeazy."

Pearl chuckled softly, "Oh, Steven, don't make up words."

The Gems started their trek back to Beach City, chatting along the way. Steven eventually piped up, "So what's it like being Opal?" Pearl started, "Well, Steven, it's an experience like none other, where the my natural grace and elegance--"

"--gets souped up by my butt-kicking!," Amethyst interrupts. She laughs and high-fives Steven, glancing back at her frustrated partner-in-fusion. Pearl sighed, her features relaxing, a tiny smile gracing her lips. "Well, exactly. Together, we can be stronger than we would ever be apart. Fusion is important, Steven. Rose always used to say that you had to find someone to trust with your light."

Steven perks up, "Oh, like Connie?" At this, Pearl's cheeks flare with an indigo blush and Amethyst ruffles Steven's hair, commenting, "Yeah, little dude!" As if noticing how the topic could be uncomfortable, Steven ran forward to the next hill, "Oh, oh! There's a great view of Beach City over this hill! I cant wait to--"

He stopped in his tracks, speechless. Pearl and Amethyst caught up, Amy shrugging, "Steven, the view cant be that--oh man..."

As the trio looked down upon Beach City, they saw the boardwalk on fire, citizens panicking in the streets. Pearl immediately drew her lance, "Homeworld. They must have attacked while we were gone. We need to stop them!"

Steven was already rushing down the hill, shield-ready, yelling back, "--and save Beach City! You guys put out the fires, I'm going to find my dad!"

The young gem rushed to the Car Wash only to find it in ruins. He threw large sheets of metal and debris aside, frantically looking for his father before finding Greg pinned beneath his overturned van. Steven rushed to his side, tears welling up in his eyes. Greg smiled at sight of his son, relieved to see Steven was safe. This expression was short lived, as he soon started coughing violently.

"Dad! It's okay, I'm here. I... You need to get out of Beach City."

Greg reached a hand to Steven, who held it tightly. "Look, son, I'll be okay. You need to protect Earth, right? Some really bad gems came earlier and, well, you see. I'll be okay, don't worry about your old man."

Steven shook his head, reluctant to leave his father in this state, tears freely rolling down his cheeks, "No! No, I'm going to get you out from under here first!" He moved to the side of the van and gritted his teeth, his knuckles going white as he tried to lift it.

"What! Steven, you can't possibly lift the van, it weighs at least two ton--" Greg's eyes widened as Steven managed to pick it up several inches. Quickly, Greg scooted out from beneath it before Steven dropped it back down, panting. "Oh, wow. My son's stronger than me now, eheh."

Steven looked to his dad, then back to the rest of Beach City. "I'll be back, Dad. Please be safe."

As Steven rounded the corner, he found Opal elegantly fending off several creatures, blasting them away with precise arrows of light. A skittering monstrosity rose up on its hind legs to smash Steven, and was immediately penetrated by Opal's deft strike. As the beast crumbled away, fierce sunlight reflected from the gem that dropped from the slain creature. Steven blocked his eyes from the sun, looking down at the boardwalk.

The ground was seemingly littered with fractured gems, giving Steven a moment of pause. "Wait--the angry gem woman before and, and all these! Have we been fighting other gems this whole time?"

Opal began to answer, but a glint in the sky caught her attention. The giant woman backflipped out of the way, grabbing up Steven as a green beam of light tore apart the boardwalk they were just standing on. Opal scouted the skies with her bow, murmuring softly, "Now is not the time, Steven. We must focus on saving our home."

Steven nodded to that, shielding his eyes from the blazing sun once more. That's when he spotted a dark orb hiding in the light of the sun. He gasped and pointed out, "There's a huge eyeball right there!"

At his gesture, Opal whirled around and drew back an arrow larger than all the others. As she aimed her shot, squinting her eyes, she softly complimented Steven, "Well done--that must be how they found our temple and are aiming their shots. Let's see how that Red Eye deals with... this!" Opal snapped her fingers back and let her giant arrow fly into the overseeing eye. As its remains plummeted down at Beach City, Steven conjured a shield to protect himself. Opal was not so lucky.

Steven pulled the two collapsed and battered gems in his arms, panic contorting his expression. "Amethyst! Pearl! Are you guys okay?!"

As he looked from Pearl to Amethyst to make sure, Amy's rough-and-tumble attitude was nowhere to be found. Instead, she weakly grinned and offered a thumbs-up. Pearl couldn't help but smile as well, her voice ragged, "You're doing well, Steven. If Amethyst hadn't thought to separate at the last moment to get behind your shield, that shrapnel would have taken us out of commission."

Amethyst could only roll her eyes, "Don't give me all the credit. Being Opal is exhausting."

Before Pearl could chime in, Steven held both of them closer, grateful that they had gotten through this battle alive. He looked to the skies once more as the sun began to set on the smoldering Beach City, desperately trying to discern where the next attack would come from.

"Ugh, I would get stuck with all worst shifts while

Lars

is just magically out of town and then everything starts blowing up!" Sadie vented to Steven as she heaved wreckage into the dumpster. Steven and Connie collected scraps of charred wood and red stone in a trashbag. Sadie's frustration gave way to a smile, "Thanks for coming on such short notice to help out, guys."

Steven, trying to be optimistic about their situation, smiled brightly and added, "A hero's got to help the town in any way he can! Plus, ehe, when I told Connie what happened she insisted on helping." He looked to Connie, who gave him a thumbs-up. "And at least the Homeworld isn't attacking anymore. They're just..." Steven looked over his shoulder to the looming spaceship, which looked unmistakably like a giant green hand, "...pointing at us."

Sadie wiped her brow and looked up to the skies. Even in the darkness of night, the invasion ship was clear to see. "Yeah, so long as it doesn't come down here and poke us to--"

At that instant, a beam of light lit up the skies and shot down from the pointing spaceship--right at Steven! After a blinding flash, Steven was left huffing for breath, his shield having deflected most of the blast. He looked behind him--Connie was safe behind his shield, but Sadie on the ground. "Oh no, oh no, oh no, Sadie, no..."

Amethyst and Pearl rushed to the crater left from the warship's laser, only to find Steven holding Sadie in his arms, tears streaming down his cheeks. Connie tried to explain what happened to Pearl while Amethyst huddled down next to Steven's side. "I can bring her to the hospital. Y'know me, I'm way faster than Pearl." Steven lowered Sadie into Amethyst's arms and the purple Gem took off, her legs growing into long stilts that let her stride far and fast.

Pearl reassured Connie and Steven, "At least we're safe! We should get to some better shelter, who knows how many times that ship can--"

Another flash of light flared from the warship's fingertip. Pearl leaped in front of Steven and Connie, taking the brunt of the blow with her body. She fell to her knees, grinning weakly as she reached out to Steven's cheek, "Don't worry, Rose. I'll always protect you..."

With that, Pearl poofed into her gem form. Steven pocketed her gem and balled his hands into fists, glaring at the warship. Connie looked from one to the other, shakily asking, "Steven, what are we going to do?"

Steven took a step out of the crater, his voice low and tinted by withheld anger, "If they're not going to come down to us, we're going up to them."

"You sure this will work, Amethyst?"
Amethyst nodded to Steven's query, a foxlike grin sparking across her face. "Oh, trust me, Steven. I have a lot of experience flinging things into the sky."

The crystal gem reared back, her hand grown to a size big enough to hold both Steven and Connie. She pivoted forward and launched them towards the ship. As they flew through the air, Connie held tight to Steven as he braced his shield in front of them. Connie murmured, "How's Amethyst going to come?"

Amethyst, whip wrapped around Steven's ankle, called back, "Oh, I figured I'd just catch a riiiiide~"

The trio pierced through the hull of the ship like a bullet, tumbling into a hallway and leaving a gaping hole. They quickly got their wits about them and started forth to find whoever was controlling this machine of war. Steven's footsteps echoed in the emerald corridors the Gem Warship. At his left, Connie huddled close to him, staring in wonder at the otherworldly vessel. To his right was Amethyst, cracking her knuckles and rearing for a fight.

As they passed several halls, Steven paused, hearing sobbing coming from the far end of one. He rushed there, only to find a blue gem imprisoned behind seemingly electric bars. She lifted her eyes, "Steven, is that you?" Steven looked back to Connie and Amethyst, taking a little breath.

"Remember Lapis, guys?"

Lapis only sighed and lowered her head once more. "No one ever does. Steven, you shouldn't fight Homeworld. You don't know what you're getting into."

Steven gritted his teeth and turned his back. "I'm going to save the Earth, Lapis, then I'm going to save you." With that, Steven and his allies set off.

Connie, holding Steven's hand now, looked back, concern in her eyes. "I feel sorry for Lapis." Amethyst pounded a fist into her palm, fed up with the winding hallways. She punched through the wall and continued through the hole she had made, gruffly noting, "You should feel sorry for whoever is controlling this ship."

After punching in a few more walls, the trio broke into what looked to be the control room of the ship. A green gem with pointed features labored over a console, freezing in place at the crashing door behind her. She turned on them, a sphere of energy at the ready in her hand. Her voice was shrill and annoyed, "You! You're the clods wrecking up my ship! Trashing my things! You broke the Red Eye! Now I'm going to show you how it feels when someone breaks all your things! You-you-you CLODS!"

Steven readied his shield and smirked, "Clods?! We are the Crystal Gems, and we

always

save the day!"

With that, the green gem released the surge of energy she'd been building in her hand. Amethyst shapeshifted, letting it pass through where her head would have been if she had not stretched out of the way. Steven advanced, dashing forth with his shield, only to be tripped and sent rolling. The Homeworld Gem typed something quickly into the control panel, which lit up with a red flare. She then leaped into the air, her fingers propelling her as she balled herself up to avoid Amethyst's whip striking at her heels. The flying gem cackled, "You're done now, Crystal Clods! This ship's going to crash and burn along with you!!"

Connie took the advantage and jumped into the air, tugging the escaping gem down to the floor. Amethyst quickly shapeshifted into a burly wrestler and bodyslammed the pinned gem, causing her to poof into her gem form. She laughed and tossed the green gemstone into the air a few times. "Who's the clod now, dork?"

Steven bubbled the Peridot and tapped the bubble as he had seen Garnet and Pearl do many times before. With the bubbled gem safely secure and teleported away, everything seemed to be alright. That moment of peace only lasted for seconds, as Connie gasped, "Guys, you should probably do something about this..."

The ship was plummeting towards Earth. To make matters worse, the coast of Beach City seemed to be littered with monsters. Each and every one of them had their heads turned to the sky, as if in anticipation. Amethyst and Steven frantically tried mashing all the buttons on the console, but could find no way to steer the ship. The three huddled together, bracing for a rough landing...

With an eruption that lit up the horizon like a sunset, the Gem Warship crashed into Beach City. Amethyst and Connie found themselves safe within Steven's protective bubble. Steven offered a bright grin before collapsing, exhausted. As his bubble snapped away, the three were given no quarter--monsters closed in quickly.

Connie held off the beasts with a length of pipe from the wreckage while Amethyst conjured her whip. Connie, being beaten back by a hulking monstrosity, tripped over a rock and fell flat on her back. The beast lifted a mighty fist and Connie winced as it delivered the death blow.

She opened her eyes only to find Pearl standing before her, spear thrust into the chest of the monster. As the fiend puffed into its gemstone, Pearl surveyed the battlefield and nodded at Amethyst's handiwork. She offered a polite compliment, "Good work, Amethyst! I toooold you I'd be back. You didn't have to go off and fight all these monsters on your own, you know."

Amethyst grinned, shrugging proudly, "What? I've always been scrappy. I can handle a few--" She cut herself off, noticing Pearl's concerned look.

Pearl spoke up, eyes frantic as she scouted the rubble. "Where is Steven? I don't see him! He--he made it, right?"

The three searched for Steven, calling out his name. They eventually spotted him further down the shore and rushed to his side. Pearl breathed a reassured sigh, "Steven, my goodness! You shouldn't run off like that. You could get hurt, or worse--

It was then that Pearl saw what Steven was holding in his hands. Collected in his palms were the shattered fragments of Lapis Lazuli, who had not survived the crash. Steven sniffled and let his tears stream freely down his face. As he bubbled what remained of Lapis, he spoke, his voice choked and ragged, "Lapis never had any friends on Earth. I hoped that I could prove that our home was good enough. I... just wanted to be her friend. Now, she's gone." Steven ported the bubble back to the temple and turned to Pearl, biting back his tears. "Pearl, let's go to my mom's Armory. If I want to take the fight to them, we'll need all the gem weaponry we can get." He took Connie's hand, looking to her reassuringly.

"I'm not going to let another friend suffer the same fate."

In the cave that was once Rose's armory, the remaining defenders of humanity suited up for combat. Pearl donned shining armor fitting of a knight, whereas Amethyst's wardrobe of war ended up as a hodgepodge of everything that she thought looked cool. Connie turned a sword about in her hands, admiring it's gleam. Steven seemed to have the hardest time choosing what to take with him. He happened upon a small prism, which he presented to Pearl.

"Pearl! What's this supposed to do?"

Pearl smiled down to him, happy to explain. "Oh, Steven, that's an ancient gem weapon--it can be very powerful in the right hands. Powerful gems once used it to summon armies of light!"

Steven chuckled, looking down at the prism. "Sounds strong! You'd put up a good fight, wouldn't you, little guy?"

As Steven put the prism back down and turned around, brilliant light poured forth from behind him. Everyone turned to see what it was, only to be forced to cover their eyes as the bright light converged and took the shape of a monstrous entity. It roared at them and began to change shape, taking on Pearl's form.

Without hesitation, Pearl threw her spear through the beast. As it groaned and retreated back into the Prism, she bubbled it, grumbling, "You have to be careful, Steven. It can copy anything and follows orders to a fault."

Steven nodded, silent in his mourning for the light beast. "Poor guy. He just wanted to help."

That night, Steven and the others returned to a Beach City in full armor, gilded by the moon's light. They expected monsters and enemy gems, but instead found relative peace. Feeling a bit drained of their fighting spirit, the team split up. Connie went home and the Crystal Gems returned to their temple. Steven found himself wandering the docks, kicking rubble here and there.

It wasn't until he came across the steaming ruins of Fish Stew Pizza that he heard another voice--Kofi, the proprietor of the Pizzeria, shouted shrilly at Steven, "Ey boy! You bettah help clean this mess!"

Steven couldn't refuse, as guilt filled his throat and made it hard to speak. He began sorting out the rubble and aiding in the process of rebuilding Beach City, one brick at a time. Numerous citizens and even gemstone creatures were found struggling to survive beneath the rocks. Steven made sure to bubble what he could and aid in the recovery of the humans unfortunate enough to get caught up in all this mess.

By sunrise, the entire city was at work, even Lars, who had crawled out of hiding to help rebuild a little. Those who were in the hospital helped as much as they could, but it seemed like it would take at least a week or longer to get Beach City back together. Steven sighed at this realization, only to notice that Amethyst and Pearl had showed up and were making the most of their powers to help in the reconstruction.

For the first time in several days, things seemed to be turning out for the better. As Steven wiped sweat from his brow, the still-injured Mayor patted Steven on his back. Steven offered a concerned smile, glancing to the Mayor's arm in the cast. Steven gasped, noticing even Pearl and Amethyst's signatures, "Woah! You even got Pearl to sign your cast? She won't even sign off for my mail! I, uh, I'm sorry about your arm... and all the problems in Beach City. I understand if you want us to leave."

Mayor Dewey's face flushed a warm color as he swallowed and smiled back to Steven, "You and those women might be the reason all this happened, but we're glad to have you, Steven."

Klingoncelt was incapacitated and found in the ruins of Beach City during the sixth Episode's Climax.

It seemed as if everything was coming to a close. There hadn't been any incidents with the Homeworld Gems for awhile. Nevertheless, something was stirring in Steven's heart as sat beneath the lighthouse and looked over the wreckage of the crash. Steven huffed a deep sigh, unsure of what was brewing within him, his hand complacently held over his gem.

A slap came at Steven's back, startling him. He looked up to find the smiling face of Buck Dewey. Buck, cool as a cucumber, sat down next to Steven. "Hey there, man. Heard you helped put the town back together. That's pretty rad."

Steven blushed. It wasn't often that he was thanked for his accomplishments. He shook his head, still downcast, "But I was the reason why the town got wrecked up in the first place! The gems are all acting like it isn't a big deal either, but it is a big deal! A lot of people got hurt!"

"Woah, that's real. Still, you can't keep one foot in the past like that--otherwise, you won't be able to run straight towards your future."

Steven's eyes lifted, catching the reflection of the sunset from Buck's sunglasses, Buck's expression warm and enthusiastic despite how everything turned out. He returned Buck's smile, but as he opened his mouth, he was cut off by the sound of girl's voice shouting from afar.

"Hey! Buck! You coming or what?"

It was Jenny, shouting from the driver seat of her delivery car at the bottom of the hill. At her side was the third member of their group, Sour Cream, who was too busy jamming to a beat in his headphones to care to hassle Buck.

Buck stood up and started to strut off, chuckling as he shook a spray paint can, "Off to make some art, my man. We can't let those invaders come to our planet and not be captivated by the capacity of aerosol. You wanna show those off-worlders what soul looks like?"

Steven considered the proposition over Jenny yelling back to Buck. He smiled and shook his head, looking out to the wreckage. "I'll have to catch you next time. I still have more work to do before I can rest easy."

Buck laughed as he set down the hill, calling back, "You and me both, Steven! You and me both."

The Cool Kids did not return that night. All that was found was a message left across the broad face of the Gem Warship's wreckage; a colorful mural bearing the words, "EARTH FOREVER!"

It's not rough, the lack of daddy kisses made me what I am. Your race is Human . You gain specific bonuses for being in an ALLIANCE. You got that much needed counter-part to our cynical world view. You have to come. Each Climax phase, you may target a player to ALLY with. Refer to the Rules post in the thread for how ALLIANCES function. I only wanted to see you laughing, in the pizza rain. Once per game, you may target another player to send them a slice of pizza. During the Season Finale, you gain another use of this ability, but it can never exceed one unused shot. Night is whatever you want it to be, time is a illusion. You may only use this ability on other members of your ALLIANCE. Once per game, during Climax phase, you may grant a player another use of all of their limited-shot abilities (this may only be used to regain shots on abilities that would normally regain a shot via Season Finale). During the Season Finale, you gain another use of this ability, but it can never exceed one unused shot. I'm sure whatever you're having him do is important, but everyone needs a break once in a while. You may only use this ability on other members of your ALLIANCE. Once per game, during Climax phase, you may select one post made by a target player. I will inform you if that player is lying in that post or not. This ability will not be able to give any explicitly factionally-oriented information.. Not cool, Earth forever! You win the game when all threats to the Beach City Residents have been defeated and at least one Beach City Resident is alive.

The upcoming Episode is the SEASON FINALE!

This means a few things:
-At the start of the Exposition phase, any ability that specifies that it will 'regain' a shot will do so.
-You may have an ability that only functions during the Season Finale.
-You may forge Fusions and Alliances up of to 3 players.

Here is how these expanded Fusions and Alliances will work:
You can submit an extra target to fuse/ally with. For the regular player, this means you will submit two options.
I would like you to order your fusion/alliance targets by preference.
If your 1st pick chooses to fuse/ally with you as their 1st pick, you will be given the appropriate neighborhood PT.
If your 2nd pick chooses to fuse/ally with you as their 1st pick, they will ONLY join in if they are your 1st choice's 2nd choice as well.
If you have questions, feel free to PM me.

Steven marched back to the temple, a new-found vigor within him. He found Amethyst lounging on the couch, eating a can of tuna, can included. She perked up at his entry, "Yo, what's up, Steven? You're looking all seeeerious, ahaha!"

The boy shot a sharp look to Amethyst, nodding, "I am serious! I think we should retrace our steps--there's probably more Homeworld Gems out there. Now's not the time to be sitting around." Amethyst stood up at that, chuckling.

"Full of gusto, huh? Well, I'm not sitting anymore. Whacha wanna do?"

Steven slumped his shoulders a little. "Where's Pearl? We gotta have Pearl if we're going to set out, we're a team."

Amethyst shrugged and sat back down, returning the eating what was left of the tuna can. "Eh, she went off through the warp pad. Who knows? Said she wanted to double check something at the galaxy warp."

Steven looked to the warp pad, then back to Amethyst. He set down in front the warp pad, crossing his legs and huffing a sigh. "I'll just have to wait then."

Hours passed. Steven startled from his sleep and blinked. He was sure nothing had come from the warp. As he stood over it, he could see his face reflected in its sheer crystal, a blank expression starting back up at him. At that moment, Steven filled with ennui and he couldn't shake the feeling that Pearl wasn't coming back.

Steven rubbed his eyes, weary from staying up so late. He shook his drowsiness aside and stepped onto the warp pad. "I'm going to go find Pearl. Amethyst, you should come, too."

As the warp pad filled with light, and Steven soon found himself at the Galaxy Warp. A full moon hung in the sky overhead, but something seemed off. The stars buzzed with a static grain, and Steven quickly felt unsettled by the place. "Pearl? Pearl, are you around here?" He turned and saw Pearl standing on the edge of the warp pads. "Oh! Pearl, what are you doing here? We have to go back to Beach City and find any other Homeworld Gems, c'mon..."

Pearl did not move. Steven approached her, going on, "What is it, Pearl? What's going on? Pearl?"

As he moved in front of her, he saw that Pearl's face was blank--not that she had no expression, but that there were no eyes or lips or nose to be found. Steven screamed and ran back to the warp pad, which did not function for him. He tried desperately to make it work, tears streaming down his eyes as he cried out, "I just want to go home!"

Steven opened his eyes slowly. He was back in the temple. Amethyst, however, was nowhere to be found.

The horizon flickered ominously, as if the entire night sky were channels on a television. Without a clue of where to go, Steven wandered aimlessly on the beach, his fingers clutched into little fists. "I'm no closer to figuring out anything! This isn't working." Steven took a deep breath and sighed, "I guess mom's room can't handle all this." He looked down to his hands, sniffling, "...and neither can I."

Objects began to fade from reality, whisking away at the blink of an eye. Eventually, all that was left was Steven, standing alone in a pink room. He lifted his palm, his gem glowing faintly as a door opened to the real temple, where the Crystal Gems waited anxiously.

Pearl rushed to Steven's side, laughing and hugging him, "You did it! See, I told you that Rose's room was great for training and with us concentrating our energies we could simulate a much larger field for your to--"

Steven cut her off, "No, I couldn't find the last enemy. Also, the room started to glitch up again."

Pearl's jubilant expression faded. "Oh, Steven. It's not your fault. Rose's room was never meant to handle such a huge simulation for so long."

Amethyst slapped Steven on the back, hoping to console him, "Hey! Even if you didn't win, you were in there for a long time, that's gotta count for somethin'." She was quickly hushed by Garnet, "The time isn't important. What's important is that Steven tried his best."

Close to tears, Steven pulled all of the Gems into a tight hug before releasing them.

"The simulation was a little off--I don't think the room can do consistent characterization. So, who was the last baddie? I was getting so paranoid I started to suspect even weirdos like Lars and Kevin."

Pearl blinked. "Kevin? Oh, anyway, it was that centipeetle."

Steven bawked, "Whaaaat? Not little 'peetle! That guy's my friend." Pearl only shook her head at this.

"It's a corrupted gem, Steven. Maybe one day you can fix it, but we wanted you to be able to assess the danger involved."

With a sigh, Steven crossed his arms. "I'm no stranger to danger! Besides, I beat all the other homeworld gems! That's gotta count for something, right? I was gonna beat them all up and return victorious, and then we'd go out for pizzas! But now you guys probably think I'm not good enough to be a Crystal Gem..."

Pearl smiled warmly to Steven, her voice consoling, "Don't be silly, Steven. Of course you're one of us--you have the Rose Quartz gem, after all."

"--and you're the life of this party! Four outta five baddies is pretty darn good, too," added Amethyst.

Garnet also spoke up, "You did well, Steven. Let's get that pizza."

You may only use this ability if you are a part of a FUSION or an ALLIANCE. Once per game, you may target a player to learn what their role is. During the Season Finale, you gain an extra shot of this ability, but it may never exceed one unused shot. You must have felt like you were under attack back when Lars carved his name in you. You win the game when all threats to the Beach City Residents have been defeated and at least one Beach City Resident is alive.

Spoiler: REDEYE (FAKECLAIM)

PLAYER NAME - Watermelon Steven

Motion-Detector (Beach City Resident)

What the...? They're me! They're all me!

Your mother had the power to grow sentient plant life to activate as her defenders. Your race is Other . You will do not gain specific bonuses for being in an ALLIANCE. He understood true loyalty. Each Climax phase, you may target one player to ALLY with. Refer to the Rules post in the thread for how ALLIANCES function. Think about what you've done! And don't come back until you understand what he did for me, for all of us! Each Climax phase, you may target a player to learn if any actions were performed by or on a player, but not what they were, or who else was involved. Rose's plants live to fight. You win the game when all threats to the Beach City Residents have been defeated and at least one Beach City Resident is alive.

Spoiler: LIGHT PRISM (FAKECLAIM)

PLAYER NAME - Light Prism

Absorbing Gladiator (Beach City Resident)

I'm... sorry...

This is an ancient gem weapon. Your race is Other . You will do not gain specific bonuses for being in an ALLIANCE. In the hands of a powerful gem, it could command an entire army of light! Each Climax phase, you may target one player to ALLY with. Refer to the Rules post in the thread for how ALLIANCES function. What... do you... want me... to be? You passively and reflexively copy all active abilities that target you. This does not include factional abilities. This only includes explicitly normal abilities. This whole time they've been fighting FOR me! They must've been so confused. Once per game, during the Exposition phase, you may target a player by posting FIGHT ME, [PLAYER NAME] . All votes are reset. Only two players are now votable; you and your target. ...MASTER... You win the game when all threats to the Beach City Residents have been defeated and at least one Beach City Resident is alive.

I think the two biggest mistakes I made with this setup were not coming up with fake-claims for the scum team before making town roles (thus limiting scum's fakes to obscure 1-off characters) and by confirming Pearl's alignment/revive at all. If I had a chance, I would change those two aspects. I told the scum team that their fake claims were not amazing, but would work. I think that it can be problematic if fake claims are too good, but I believe I may take bork's approach in future games and have at least one of the main characters be a fake-claim/anti-town.

Otherwise, I was very pleased with how this turned out. It was an exciting game to follow all the way through and the special mechanics surprised me with how well they worked out.

I will be running a sequel game to this one in the future. In the meantime, my next two plotted games are Varsoon Mafia (which will be a 21p bastard game) and Parasyte Mafia (likely an 18p large theme with far less ambitious mechanics/roles than seen here).

I hope you all enjoyed playing the game. It was a blast to run this, and I'm glad everyone stuck with it as long as they have. You are some of my favorite players on-site, and it has been an honor to run this game for you. That said, I'd love to hear any criticisms, complaints, ideas, and other suggestions as I am always striving to become better at designing and moderating games.

Stay Golden,

I'm glad you liked it!
I also hope I got some people into the show. It's been phenomenal lately.

I accidentally locked the thread there, whoops.

As for the issue of the scum team not releasing their PT, it was a decision they made fairly early on.
I am willing to go through the scum PT and edit/delete any messages that the scum team doesn't want shared/feel are too personal.
Scum PTs are often a strong resource for all players to draw upon after a game, not just for meta, but to learn how the game was played in order to better their own play.
If every member of the scum team signs off on it, I am willing to make the PT public after making the appropriate edits/deletes.
Otherwise, I do ask that you all respect the scum team's wishes to keep their private chat private.

That said,

I will be making EVERY alliance/fusion/neighborhood public unless anyone sends me a PM asking for theirs to stay private.

@Cerb/Drixx: I can understand your frustration in regards to the setup. I apologize that you think it was broken. By design, I wanted scum to know who Steven was before he could be confirmed as an IC. I included several town roles that could aide Steven and made it such that the scum team would have to dedicate several resources towards learning Steven's actual role and killing him. I am sorry that you did not enjoy this aspect of the game, and I don't blame you for basing your play around an assumption about the setup.

In regards to me 'slipping' about Mastin being Connie, I hold that I did not. If you perceived my post about a Steven/Connie fusion as a slip, but I hold that I was engaging a hypothetical situation. The same sort of assumptions were made constantly in this game--players assumed that certain flavor roles could not be a part of the Yellow Diamond Authority (such as Centipeetle) or that the Yellow Diamond Authority would only contain Gem-race characters. I don't think it's wrong to think these sorts of things (honestly, I should have just called the scum faction 'Homeworld Gems', but I wanted to play up/keep multiball ambiguous) but I do think it is a mis-step to base play upon them.

@Titus: There was only ever one true mason pair, and they were lovers and taken out of the game early. I can understand your frustration--both teams were very stacked as far as power goes. In the final design stages, we were unsure of how balanced the game was, with bork saying it seemed a bit townsided but with almost all of town's power gated behind the special mechanic, it would be hard to tell for sure. I think that's the major thing--a lot of these roles have limited shots and have to first ally themselves in order to even get access to their powers, whereas scum's powers were mostly available to them from the start and were not very limited. I went into this knowing balance may be an issue and that swing was definitely an issue. I am glad the game made it to a lylo situation, honestly.

[Varsoon]

I was far too ambitious with a lot of the roles and flavor--the next game should still have fun interactions and such, but I'm probably going to dial back those other aspects a lot.
I learned a lot about modding from this game. I also felt like I was under a lot of pressure, as the scum team constantly expressed how broken town was and several town players were constantly frustrated about how strong the scum team was. ><
Maybe that's a good indicator, I don't know.

Regardless, like I said, my next non-bastard game (based on the anime/manga Parasyte) will be far less over-the-top/rolemadness/crazy.

[Varsoon]

I'll edit it in.

OH, as a note, Jasper's jailkeeping ability would not have an effect on Steven. I should have had that in my mod notes. Hm.

I think you played well, though, Cerb & Drixx

[Varsoon]

@Cerb: Yes, it would.
I should have written that Steven counts as a human but may also fuse with Gems and any attempt to rolecop/flavorcop him will return both human and gem.
Eccch


@grapes: <3 Thanks for playing! This game has consumed so much of my time over the year. I just hope everyone had fun c:
