Congressman
– You have been a congressman for a long time. You are the incumbent who does whatever he needs to do to beat the upstarts that challenge him. Your critics claim that you don’t serve the people, and yet you still get re-elected. Secretly, you know they’re right; you serve yourself, not the people. But the people don’t know that, and your job is to make sure they never find out. To stay in office, you need name recognition, so a little scandal is okay – but not enough to get you kicked out of office. Beware of political rivals trying to take you down; you are so paranoid about this that you hire round-the-clock security who will waylay all attempts on your life.
The paraphrase for your role is “Modified Bulletproof Survivor.”
You win by both being alive at endgame and achieving the highest amount of votes in the game.

Aspiring Congressman
– You know one of the congressman for your state, Player X, is corrupt. You are convinced you could do the job better than anyone else, and the people of the state deserve the best. Your goal is to usurp the corrupt official; however, simply defaming him will not work. To win the public’s favor, you cannot be seen as a rabble rouser.
To usurp Player X, you must place the lynching vote on him. If you do so, you will take on all or part of his role and/or win condition(s).
The paraphrase for your role is “Modified Lyncher.”
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.
Mod Note:
If the player(s) successfully lynch and usurp the Congressman, they become a “Bulletproof Survivor.” They do not need to have the highest amount of votes in order to win. They win by surviving alone. If one player usurps the original Congressman, if an Aspiring Congressman remains, he is notified that his target has changed.
The President
– You are the President of the United States. Generally, you’re a mediocre public official with middle of the road popularity. You don’t want anything bad to happen to anybody, to be sure, though. Something you have going for you is that you’re happily married and you hate sexual scandal; you have a system in place to combat potential scandals. Other than that, you try to be a good president with average success. The one thing you allow yourself is just a touch of nepotism. Why have all this power if you can’t flaunt it, just a little? You can grant boons to your friends whenever you feel like it – because you’re the president, damn it.
Once a night, you may grant a player a temporary power-up. These are the power-ups available:
Loan Out the Secret Service – Is a friend worried about someone’s safety? You’re the president! Send your friend the protection of the Secret Service for a night. Anyone that tries to kill whomever your friend chooses to protect will run away at the sight, cowed. However, once the home is secure, he or she will not be able to leave until the next morning, in interest of his or her safety. (Grants 1-Shot Jailkeep to target.)
Security Upgrade – If your buddy’s worried about a little theft or infidelity, offer to lend some of the White House’s high tech security equipment for the night. He or she can use the cameras to keep a watch on someone’s house. (Grants 1-Shot Watch to target.)
Call in a Favor With the FBI – Is someone you know convinced that so and so is a criminal but can’t prove it? With a simple phone call, you can have the FBI look into it and report back to your friend. (Grants 1-Shot Cop Investigation to target.)
Set Up a Meeting With a Lobbyist – If someone you know is really passionate about something but struggling to make his or her voice heard, set up a meeting with an important lobbyist that may or may not owe you a favor. Your friend will have extra influence on the polls, for a time. (Grants target an extra public vote for the following day.)
Promote a Friend – A buddy is doing a good job in his rather mundane private office. You think he deserves more, so you promote him to FEMA Director, since the last one had to be quickly fired. Unfortunately, your friend ends up using his political clout to stall the operation of someone he has a grudge against, so you have to fire him, too. (Grants target 1-Shot Roleblock.)
You may grant one power during any night by PMing the moderator the phrase of the powerup followed by your target (for example, Set Up A Meeting With a Lobbyist: Player X. Once you grant a power, you may not grant it again.
The paraphrase for your role is “Inventor.”
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.
Mod Note:
If The President is sent a dicktext on Night X and survives through the next day, he will be granted a bulletproof vest for the next night, Night X+1.
Unhinged Wingnut With a Tinfoil Ha
t – You have very strong political views, and in your opinion, most politicians currently holding office do not deserve to be there. You owe it to yourself, and to the people, to rid the country of political of corruption. You’re doing it for the people’s own good. You are. The government knows what you’re up to, though. They can read your thoughts, but you hope your trusty tinfoil hat will keep them away. If they do catch on to you, though, your psychobabble will confuse them into thinking you are part of the corruption yourself.
You must shoot one person per night by PMing the moderator a command in the form of Shoot: Player X. If you fail to submit a target, one will be chosen for you via a random number generator. However, your target will only die if he or she is a political figure. You will return “guilty” results to cop investigations.
The paraphrase of your role is “Miller Limited Compulsive Vigilante.”
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.
Governor On An Ego Trip
– You govern a large city in the Midwest and you like to think this makes you a big-wig on the political scene. You tout your authority whenever possible. The country is doing its best to excise corruption and you want everyone to know that you are involved. If the constituents are condemning someone you feel is innocent, you may exercise all of your political clout to get him pardoned. You are not actually that important, though, so you may only do this once.
You may govern any player but yourself once at any time during any day. To activate your ability, type Govern: Player X in a separate post. For the duration of that day, that player will be unlynchable. You may govern before or after the hammer, as long as no flip has occurred and the thread remains open. If you use your power, the town is free to lynch another player.
The paraphrase of your role is “1-Shot Governor.”
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.
Secretary of Homeland Security
– Your duty is to protect America and its citizens. With all the corruption going on, you want to do your part to protect the innocent, but it’s difficult. There is so much red tape to go through that in order to do your job you must abuse your powers. You can give an order once to have someone protected, even without filling out all the proper forms. However, you can’t retract your order or you will be admitting fault.
During any night, you may choose to protect someone by PMing the moderator the command Protect: Player X. If successful, he player you target will be protected from killing actions until the end of the game or your death, whichever comes first. If unsuccessful, you will be notified and be allowed to try again the following night. Once successfully protected, the player will not die except through lynch for the duration of the game or until you die, whichever comes first. You may not remove this protection once it is given.
The paraphrase of your role is “Seraph Knight.”
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.
Paparazza/Papparazzo
(according to gender of player) – You are a member of the paparazzi and you specializing in snapping candid photos of politicians in potentially scandalizing positions, though usually, that just means in bed with a hooker. Occasionally, if you’re lucky, you’ll catch onto something more significant than adultery, and that’s how you’ve made a name for yourself. You’re the best at what you do because you are really dedicated. You follow your suspect at night to make sure there isn’t any dubious activity going on – and if there is, your camera will be ready. However, you’re well known for pushing the boundaries of legality, and you only have two more favors to call in, so you can only get away with trespassing two more times before being sued and forced to desist.
You may track a player once during any night up to two times by PMing the moderator the command Track: Player X.
The paraphrase of your role is “2-Shot Tracker.”
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

Constituent
– You are a regular citizen, but you can make your voice heard by utilizing your ability to vote.
The paraphrase of your role is “Vanilla Townie.”
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.
Suicide Bomber
– Your only goal is death to America. You know that a certain group of corrupt politicians (Players X, Y, and Z) are attempting to take over the political offices in the United States. You fully support them, but only because they are incidentally helping you achieve your own goal. You don’t know them personally, but you help them from afar. Your biggest tool towards this aim is your life; you are watching and waiting for the day when giving up your life in order to take another is the most strategic option.
During any day phase, you may type Suicide Bomb: Player X in a new post; both you and Player X will die. You may not activate your ability in twilight. Once the ability resolves, the vote count will be reset.
The paraphrase of your role is “Suicide Bomber Mafia Traitor.”
You win when mafia-aligned votes are the majority of the votes during the day and mafia can no longer be lynched.
The Vice President
– You are tired of sitting back and doing nothing, as everyone tells you a good little Vice President is supposed to do. You are sick of putting up with your milquetoast superior, the insipid President, and you are determined to usurp him, one way or another. You have your methods of achieving political office, and your newest office grants you the best power of all: you control the counting of votes for the Electoral College. What better way to be elected President? If someone opposes you, you can do something about it – and the best thing about it is that no one will ever suspect you.
Due to your false inflation of ballots, you have a reduced lynch threshold. You will be lynched with one under the lynch threshold at all points in the game. For example, if it is 7 to lynch, you will be lynched with 6 votes.
You have a one-time power to cast a secret vote and may do so by PMing the moderator at any time to Cast Shadow Ballot on Player X. Your secret vote will show up on the vote count as “Shadow Ballot.” Both your vote as your player and your secret vote count towards the lynch of your target. You may place both of your votes on separate players, if you choose.
You are investigation immune.
You can talk with your partners, X and Y, here, during the nights and pre-game: QT LINK
The paraphrase of your role is “1-Shot Secret Voter Hated Godfather.”
You win when mafia-aligned votes are the majority of the votes during the day and mafia can no longer be lynched.
Secretary of the Interior
– Though you are in the President’s cabinet, you think the Vice President (Player X) would make a much better leader. You have pledged to support him whenever you can, as long as it is covert. You oversee administrations such as the Federal Aviation Administration and the Federal Highway Administration. All the trains, planes, and busses in the country are ostensibly under your care. Once a night, you can use your influence to ferret someone away under the cover of darkness, like one of your fellow VP supporters (Y, for example). In the morning, (s)he’ll be back in his or her place like nothing ever happened.
You may forcibly commute someone each night, making him/her untargettable for any actions, as well as making any actions (s)he may take fail. Do this by posting in bold in the QT or by PMing the moderator the following command: Commute: Player X. You may target yourself or your teammates, but it is not required. Unless you are the last remaining player on the scumteam, you may not commute anyone if you choose to make the factional kill, just as your teammate cannot perform the factional kill if you choose to commute him or her.

The paraphrase of your role is “Modified Jailkeeper.”
You win when mafia-aligned votes are the majority of the votes during the day and mafia can no longer be lynched.
Dick McSchlong
– You are a congressman who owes the Vice President (Player X) for constantly covering up your scandals as a consequence of sending pictures of your dick to people. You decide if you’re going to send pictures of your dick, you might as well send them to strategic persons. Once you embroil someone in a scandal, they are subpoenaed and you learn information about them that you then report to the Vice President. Make sure you never let the wrong person find out about this, though, or you could lose your job.
Each night, you may send a dicktext to one player by posting in bold in the QT or PMing the moderator Dicktext: Player X. Your target will be notified that (s)he received a dicktext. You will then learn the role name and paraphrase of his or her role. You may still perform the factional kill even if you send a dicktext.
You can talk with your partners, X and Y, here, during the nights and pre-game: QT LINK
The paraphrase of your role is “Modified Role Cop.”
You win when mafia-aligned votes are the majority of the votes during the day and mafia can no longer be lynched.
Mod Note:
If Dick McSchlong sends a dicktext to the President, he loses his role cop ability and becomes a mafia goon.
