Avant-Garde Mafia

Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band

Kills every odd night.

      Captain Beefheart - Throws a fish at a player of his choice every night, preventing them from being recruited on the next attempt. (Secret: After there are no more unrecruited players, the fish randomly redirects the night power of the player it hits every night until Beefheart dies.)

      Drumbo - Feuds with his boss. As long as Captain Beefheart is alive, Drumbo receives all night actions that Beefheart is targeted with (except for nightkills). If Captain Beefheart dies, Drumbo becomes the new band leader and protects a band member of his choice from nightkills every night.

      Rockette Morton – Runs on laser beams. Survives the first two nightkill attempts against him by taking off into the wind.

      The Mascara Snake – Can use a role check every night to find out the role of any player.

      Zoot Horn Rollo – Can jam on his dissonant guitar each day that he is alive, shuffling up the day votes. Instead of the majority option winning, he may choose another option that wins instead. The option he chooses, however, must have three or more votes.

Mr. Bungle

Kills every odd night.

      Mike Patton - Impersonates any player he chooses every night, appearing as that player's role to any role checker during that time and copying their night power (if there is one) the following night. (Secret: When Mike Patton dies, he loses BTSC with his team but can continue to vote in secret for every day period.)

      Trey Spruance - Searches for the Techno Allah, a statue that is randomly re-assigned to a new player each night. If he finds the player who has it, he successfully kills them and gains one automatic night protection. Techno Allah is then randomly re-assigned to another player and the cycle continues.

      Trevor Dunn – Is pissed off that he wasn’t invited to play on the secret song and decides to search for it every night. If he finds the player who has it, the player currently in possession of the secret song has two decisions: they can either keep the song or give it to Trevor. If they decide to keep it, then Trevor becomes even more pissed and kills that player if he finds them with the song a second time. If they decide to give him the song, the player is recruited to Mr. Bungle’s team and joins their BTSC. If the player is already on another team, they retain their role and BTSC status with the other team, but the team is unaware of the player’s new treasonous alliance. Trevor can successfully recruit only once; afterward, this option no longer exists.

      Clinton McKinnon – Uses time alteration to mess with the game. Can choose one day period to stop early and can undo the results of one night post immediately after it has been posted. Both of these powers are to be used only once each in the entire game.

      Poo Monster – Swallows one player of its choice every night, removing them from this dimension.

Henry Cow

Kills every even night.

      Fred Frith - Conducts a march every night. One coin is flipped, plus one more for each living teammate. For each coin that flips heads, he can choose one player and influence that player's vote in the subsequent day's activities. (Secret: For every voting period that has a unanimous outcome, Fred Frith gains an automatic resurrection to be used on himself two nights after his death.)

           Chris Cutler - Throws his drumsticks every night at any two players of his choice in an attempt to role block them. A coin is flipped; if it flips heads, then both players are role blocked. If tails, nothing happens.

      Dagmar Krause – Uses her voice every night to attempt to create a force field around herself and her teammates. A coin is flipped; if it flips heads, then she protects everyone in Henry Cow from any nightkill attempts. If tails, nothing happens.

      Tim Hodgkinson – Tries to find a human heart to feed to his pet beast. He targets one player of his choice every night. Two coins are flipped; if both coins flip heads, then the player dies. Otherwise, nothing happens.

      Lindsay Cooper – Can use the epic power of her bassoon every night to attempt to reflect any night action targeted at her back at the sender. A coin is flipped; if it flips heads, then it is successful. If tails, nothing happens.

The Silencers

Kills every even night.

      John Cage - Silences one player of his choice every night, excluding them from the subsequent day's activities. (Secret: When John Cage is killed, he takes out a randomly selected individual from the team that killed him.)

·         Yoshida Tatsuya – Insanifies one individual of his choice every night, inflicting them with a negative vote (-1 instead of +1) in the subsequent day period. This also inflicts anyone who quotes any of the insanified individual’s posts the subsequent day with the same punishment.

·         John Zorn – Composes, mixes, edits, and produces a completely new CD full of avant-garde saxophone ramblings every night and gives it to a player of his choice. If the player decides to listen to it, then John Zorn can spy on that person’s night powers every night.

·         Toby Driver – Writes one message every night. He then gives that message to the host so that it can be transmitted to one player of his choice. The message will seem as though it is a direct message from the host.

·         Edgard Varese – Works in the laboratory to create a zombie. Every night, two dice are rolled. If doubles are rolled, he gains a resurrection to be used that night on any dead player of his choice.

The Residents

Curses every night.

      Blue Eyeball – Curses one player of its choice every night. The target dies anywhere from 1 to 6 nights later, depending on the roll of a die.

      Green Eyeball – Curses one player of its choice every night. The target dies anywhere from 1 to 6 nights later, depending on the roll of a die.

      Brown Eyeball – Curses one player of its choice every night. The target dies anywhere from 1 to 6 nights later, depending on the roll of a die.

      Mr. Skull – Selects one player of its choice every night. The target’s entire team (if they have one) is role blocked for the night.

Introduction

25 individuals were deposited into a new reality. They awakened in a completely empty dimension, nothing surrounding them except for white, empty space. They could see each other, but nothing else could be seen for miles. horsewithteeth11 felt something underneath his shoe and lifted his foot to find that he was stepping on a piece of paper. He picked up the parchment. He read it aloud to everyone.

As a group, you must decide your first collective occupation. You can take a journey into a completely unique reality depending on which option you choose. You can choose to work as a group of apprentices for the individual that awaits you at any respective location.

You have 24 hours to make your decision. Reality then will shift in accordance to collective preference.

You have 24 hours to vote for the location/option of your choice.

Hmmm... I'm just gonna go with Theater.
