December 1, 2015: News from Nadège

Day Zero Afternoon

(All spoken parts in green are in Japanese and red are in English.)

It's a beautiful day, and many people are travelling somewhere for the holidays.  Yuugi, Yami, Mokuba, Ryou, Amane, Pegasus, Gekkou, Keith, Kotsuzuka, Otogi, Yami Marik, Rishid, Dartz, Valon, Timaeus, Shada, Isis, Shou, Edo, and Yuusuke have decided to board a train in the direction of the airport.  They're going to London, England to spend the holidays.

"This is going to be awesome, Ryou!  Our friends are coming with us to visit our country!" exclaims Amane excitedly.

Ryou gives her a smile and says, "It sure is wonderful."  He's relieved that the demon from the Millennium Ring hasn't been bothering him lately, which is letting him enjoy his vacation.

"I'm also from England, specifically London.  It's nice to meet some fellow Britons," says Edo with a grin.

"Except I'm not entirely sure why I agreed to come on this damn trip, especially since Cyclops is here..." mumbles Keith in a corner, referring to Pegasus.

"I heard that, Keith," says Pegasus.

"Oh, stop being such a Scrooge, Keith!  This is gonna be fun!" says Mokuba.

However, at the mention of Scrooge's name, something unexpected happens!  A portal appears from another dimension, which consumes the train as it passes through it!  The modern, diesel train comes out through another portal looking like an old, steam train.  There are no signs anywhere that indicate where the airport is.  It's as if airplanes don't even exist...

"What the hell happened?!" asks Yami Marik with a grunt.

"I was about to ask the same thing.  Something doesn't look right.  The interior of the train doesn't even look the same.  It looks...old fashioned," says Yuusuke as he observes their new surroundings.

"Look, mates!  The signs outside are written in English instead of Japanese!" says Valon in surprise.

Edo becomes even more confused when he notices some coins on the floor and picks them up.  He stares at them and says, "That's not the only thing.  These coins are shillings and farthings, which were part of England's money back in the 1800s!"

"If there are no more of those horrid machines from the future, that's a good thing.  I won't have to smash them," says Isis.  Rishid sighs as he reluctantly recalls all the modern, electrical appliances that Isis has broken in their home.

Another ancient Egyptian, Shada, thinks about how not too long ago, he arrived in Japan in a foreign time period, so he figures they might have time travelled again.

Shortly afterwards, two men show up at the front of the train.  One is a cold hearted, grouchy, old man dressed in a black suit and a top hat.  The other is his abused, overworked, and underpaid clerk.  The old man, whose name is Ebenezer Scrooge, goes up to Edo and greedily snatches the coins that Edo found.  Then he looks at the crowd of people and says, "Well, it looks like I've captured the Korean mob of Christmas lovers.  Tell me, Mr. Cratchit, are they from North or South Korea?  I can never tell the difference."


"Actually, sir, these are Japanese people.  This is the mafia for Japan," replies the clerk, Robert (Bob) Cratchit.

"Eh, close enough.  We're still right on schedule for an Asian mafia, although some of them don't look Asian," replies Scrooge as he stares at Keith, Dartz, Isis, and several others.

"Hmm, it could be because some foreigners moved to Japan?  Or maybe they're friends who are travelling together.  Those could be likely reasons," says Mr. Cratchit.

However, Yuugi, Yami Marik, Rishid, Timaeus, Shada, and Isis stare at the two men in confusion because they can't understand what they're saying.  Only some people can understand everything the men are saying.

"Um, I'm sorry, but I don't really speak English that well..." says Yuugi.

Scrooge rolls his eyes and replies in British English, "Fools!  As if I'd waste time learning your language."  He turns his head to look at the man next to him and says, "Mr. Cratchit, you already know everything I'm going to tell them.  Make sure you translate everything in Japanese!  You did learn that language like I instructed you, correct?"

"Uhhh I kind of did.  I'm not a beginner anymore, but I'm not an expert yet..." replies Mr. Cratchit with a sheepish smile.

Scrooge sighs.  "You're lucky I don't fire you.  You better learn Russian too because the idiots in Russia deserve to be thrown in a mafia.  And you ought to learn Arabic because I plan on conducting a mafia in Lebanon.  Those people make me sick with their festivities for Christmas."

"Actually, sir, I don't think people in the Middle East celebrate Christmas..."

"Of course there's Christmas there!  Lebanon has the highest rate of Christians in the Middle East!  Mr. Cratchit, I expect you to know these things," Scrooge snaps back.

"Y-Yes, sir.  Sorry, sir."

"We're going to extinguish Christmas in the entire world!  After the Middle East, we'll do a mafia in Brazil, so add Portuguese to your list of languages to learn.  And of course, then we'll--"

"E-Excuse, sir, I don't mean to interrupt, but there's no way I can learn all these languages.  I'm not a polyglot...  In order for us to do all these mafias in the world, it would be better to hire more employees..." says Mr. Cratchit, looking terribly sorry for interrupting his boss.

Pegasus and Dartz both know many languages, but they are not willing to offer their services because the word "mafia" sounds quite suspicious.

Scrooge glares at his clerk and blurts out, "Bah, humbug!  I can't employ more people!  You know very well I'd be required to pay every extra employee, which would mean I'd lose money.  I already pay you well enough, so I expect you to do as I say.  You should be thanking me for my generosity for paying you half a crown just for today's translations."

Mr. Cratchit sighs, realising that his boss isn't going to change his mind any time soon.  He looks down and reluctantly replies, "Yes, sir, that's very kind of you.  I'll get to work on studying Russian tonight."  He then turns to the rest of the group to speak in an intermediate level Japanese with a pretty strong accent.  However, since he's not advanced yet, he occasionally speaks in his native language and accidentally adds random languages in between, implying that Scrooge has been forcing the poor man to learn as many languages as possible.

(All spoken parts in green are in Japanese, red are in English, light blue are in Spanish, gray are in German, and black are in Mandarin Chinese.)

"Greetings, I'm Bob Cratchit, and I work for Mr. Scrooge as his clerk.  For those of you who can't understand English, I'll do my best to translate.  I really apologise that you all have to go through this.  It wasn't my idea, but I don't have much of a choice...  I need the money that Mr. Scrooge pays me..."

Scrooge interrupts to say, "I should probably introduce myself as well.  I'm Ebenezer Scrooge, one of the most successful businessmen in all of England.  You've most likely heard of me in A Christmas Carol, but that was just a pathetic story written by Charles Dickens who was desperate for money and fame.  He lied about my life by claiming that I was changed into a goody two shoes after the visits of four ghosts on Christmas Eve, including the ghost of my former business partner, Jacob Marley, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come.  But I'm here to tell you that none of that actually happened!  It was all fake!  Humbug!  I'm outraged that billions of people across the world actually believe that I would be swayed from my usual ways of life so quickly!  Do you fools really think the average person can change overnight like that?  You really are living in a land of fairy tales.  I'm still the same bitter, old man who loves money and hates the holiday spirit.  Nobody has heard of what really happened...that is, until today.  During this journey, you'll discover what truly happened in my life, with those three ghosts, and more."  Then Scrooge looks at his clerk and says, "Mr. Cratchit, make haste and tell them the rules of the mafia."

"Alright.  Ladies and gentlemen, you're no longer in the year you knew.  We are in 1843 when Mr. Scrooge and I are from.  To reflect this era, your belongings have been replaced.  Writing utensils have become quill pens and ink bottles.  Lightbulbs have become gas lights, candles, and oil lamps.  Duel disks, laptops, televisions, phones, the Internet, and all those other things from your time have disappeared because they don't exist yet.  Even the train itself is from our time, so it's a steam locomotive.  You're on a journey that will take place in this train from Domino to London, which is where Mr. Scrooge and I live.  Airplanes don't exist yet since the first airplane will be made in 1903.  Only some windows are open a little to let in air, but there's no way for any of you to break open the windows, or to throw yourselves off the train."

Name Of A Princess by CJSutcliffe

"This train is made up of the locomotive in the front and twelve railway carriages.  The locomotive and the first railway carriage are off limits to you because Mr. Scrooge and I will be staying in the first one, but all the other carriages are accessible to you.  They are connected by doors that you can open to go from one carriage to another.  The kitchen is in carriage 7 where you'll find food.  However, I would advise to share the rations among yourselves because that's all the food you'll have."


"There are normally 9576 kilometers/5950 miles from Domino to London.  However, Mr. Scrooge spent money to have many train tracks built that wind and twist in random patterns to elongate the journey.  The tracks even go through the ocean!  There are places where the tracks divide in two or more paths.  Right now we're currently on Path B.  Here is the map for today."

He pulls out a map and sticks it to the wall.


"The map is incomplete because today is Day Zero, but every day I'll add an extra part to show where we are travelling.  We're in the Tohoku region of Japan.  The rest of the day, we'll be going through the northern island of Japan called Hokkaido, then the Sea of Okhotsk, then an eastern island of Russia called Sakhalin, and finally Khabarovsk Krai in eastern Russia.  If we had been on Path A, we would've headed south of Japan and then towards Korea.  The tracks will divide again tomorrow, so be sure to vote today for Path C or Path D.  Sometimes you'll be able to vote for a track, but other times Mr. Scrooge will choose.  The tracks we choose will determine which countries we will travel through.  Some paths are dead ends or under construction, so they won't be an option.   The train will travel anywhere from 48 kilometers/30 miles to 88 kilometers/55 miles per hour depending on the length of the track for that particular day or night."

"Now this next part is what I really hate to talk about.  All of you have been assigned secret roles.  To find out what your roles are, please look at a piece of paper that has been placed somewhere on your clothes.  For most of you, you'll find this paper in your pockets.  However, ladies who don't have pockets will find this paper in their, ah..."

He doesn't know how to say the word for "bosoms" in Japanese, but he blushes and points to his chest.  Then he resumes saying, "The ink is only readable by the owner, so it won't work if you try peeking at your neighbor's piece of paper.  That means you can only read your own paper.  Before Mr. Scrooge and I leave today, I will provide a full list of all the roles and the teams...well, most of the roles.  There are three secret roles with unusual abilities.  Some of the roles are good, others are neutral, and the rest are bad.  The good people are called Santa's team, the neutral people are on the Neutral team, and the bad people form the Grinches' team.  I'm not really sure why Mr. Scrooge chose grinches for bad guys since we're still in the year 1843, but Dr. Seuss will be writing How the Grinch Stole Christmas! in 1957 in more than a century from now.  Normally the boss doesn't like accepting things from the future, but I assume he made an exception since the Grinch is so much like him.  Well, several of you have grinch roles, which means you are..."

He gulps nervously and then continues with, "...K-Killers.  Every night aboard this train, the grinches will target one victim to try to kill them.  All I can say is there are about three to four grinches, but I'm forbidden to say the exact amount.  Then the next day, you'll all have to vote on who you think is a grinch.  At the end of each day, the unlucky person who receives the most votes will get executed by one of the three Christmas ghosts.  Normally these ghosts play an important role in A Christmas Carol, but as explained earlier, the story written by Mr. Dickens wasn't entirely true.  Mr. Scrooge actually found a way to brainwash the ghosts to work for him.  I have no idea how he did it because he refused to tell me, although rumor has it that he paid a large amount of money to a witch who can speak to the dead...but please don't tell him I told you that, or I'll be heavily punished!"

Mr. Cratchit sighs and then says, "Anyway, as I was saying, in order for Santa's team and the Neutral team to win, their members must be higher than on the Grinches' team.  And for the Grinches' team to win, their members must be higher than or equal to the members on the other two teams.  If the grinches lose, the train will end up in London, England, and this mafia will be over.  However, if the grinches win, then...I-I'm actually not quite sure what will happen, but I know it won't be good at all.  Please, I beg of you to do whatever you can to save yourselves and save Christmas!  You can't let Mr. Scrooge win!"

Scrooge stares at his clerk and says, "Tell me what you're saying about me, Mr. Cratchit!  I don't want these fools to know more than they should."

"I-I was simply saying that um, I'm not very comfortable with these mafias, but I'm still willing to follow your orders, sir..."

Scrooge rolls his eyes.  "Bah, humbug!  All of these fools are humbugs!  Just you wait until next morning when they'll all be lying about their roles to protect their own skins.  It'll be every man for himself.  You better heed my words."

"Y-Yes, sir!  Umm, there's one more thing I must do.  Here you go, everyone.  This is a full list of all the roles and the teams.  There's only one list, so you'll have to share it if you all want to read it.  It's written entirely in English.  I-I don't know how to write in Japanese yet..." says Mr. Cratchit as he places the list on a seat.

"Now let's go.  We've already wasted enough time here," says Scrooge as he pulls his clerk towards the door that leads to carriage 1.  Mr. Cratchit sadly looks at the crowd of people in the train before following his boss and locking the door behind him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

((IT HAS STARTEDDDDD~!!!! ;u; It's December 1 in my country, so I posted this now even though it's still November 30 for some of you~ :'D No character has died yet, but the first death will be announced tomorrow!  Here will be the schedule of events:

:bulletgreen: December 1: Day Zero Afternoon
:bulletgreen: December 2: Day Zero Evening, Night One, and Day One Morning
:bulletgreen: December 6: Day One Evening, Night Two, and Day Two Morning
:bulletgreen: December 9: Day Two Evening, Night Three, and Day Three Morning
:bulletgreen: December 12: Day Three Evening, Night Four, and Day Four Morning
:bulletgreen: December 15: Day Four Evening, Night Five, and Day Five Morning
:bulletgreen: December 18: Day Five Evening, Night Six, and Day Six Morning
:bulletgreen: December 21: Day Six Evening, Night Seven, and Day Seven Morning
:bulletgreen: December 24: Day Seven Evening, Night Eight, and Day Eight Morning
:bulletgreen: December 27: Day Eight Evening, Night Nine, and  Day Nine Morning
:bulletgreen: December 30: Day Nine Evening, Night Ten, and Day Ten Morning

Each Day in the game will be equal to three days in real life (about 72 hours).  However, Day One will be equal to four days in real life (about 96 hours) because I will be gone on December 5 to a gem show.

As the event progresses, Mr. Cratchit will learn more and more Japanese, which means more of his speaking parts will be in green. :)

The kitchen is in carriage 7 with food that people from England ate in the 1800s, so there are no modern Japanese dishes.  It includes many meats such as pork, bacon, sausages, ham, beef, mutton (sheep), chicken, duck, wild fowl, venison (deer), various fish, and seafood.  There are also some vegetables, some fruits, eggs, bread, many sauces, and butter.  Drinks include water, tea, milk, coffee, hot chocolate, and alcohol.

For each Day and Night that passes, an additional part of the map will be revealed!  Today is Day Zero, so only the part for Day Zero is visible.  The train tracks will divide again, so you can vote for Path C or Path D.  On the next update tomorrow, you'll see where the train will travel on Night One and Day One! :D

Votes for a path
:bulletgreen: Path C received 8 votes from Yuusuke Fujiwara, Yuugi Mutou, Yami Marik, Dartz, Mokuba Kaiba, Shou Marufuji, Ghost Kotsuzuka, Isis, and Keith Howard.
:bulletgreen: Path D received 8 votes from Edo Phoenix, Ryuuji Otogi, Valon, Ryou Bakura, Amane Bakura, Pegasus J. Crawford, Gekkou Tenma, Keith Howard, and Yuusuke Fujiwara.

Also, since Scrooge the mastermind is from England, I tried using British English for this! :'D I'm more used to writing in American English since I spent years in the USA, so it's interesting to use a different dialect~))

The mafia will start soon!  But before we start, I want to ask the participants to vote for a path.  You can choose Path A or Path B.  I won't explain yet what this means, but it will affect what will happen on Day Zero in the mafia!  This is something new I came up with for this event, so this will be a surprise even for members who have participated in former mafias! ;) It's not required to vote for a path, but it's part of the mysterious fun~

Path A
Votes: 2

Path B
Votes: 4

In addition, let me know if your participating characters speak English!  There are some that I already know speak English in the manga/anime.  I also know the info about languages for my own characters, but let me know for your other characters!  This includes characters who will enter the mafia later.  All Japanese characters should normally have at least a beginner level in English because English classes are required at school for several years in Japanese schools.  This info will be relevant during this mafia, but I can't reveal why yet~ :)

November 18, 2015: News from Nadège

It's time to announce the event that we'll be having to celebrate the holidays!:iconchristmasla:It will be an event called Scrooge and Grinch Mafia Month that will take place from December 1-31!  We've had three mafias in the past, so this will be our fourth one. :) Each one has a different theme, and this one will be based on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss). :santa: Below are the rules.  Don't worry if you get confused by all this info.  I was also confused on some things when I was a beginner, but I learned how it worked by participating in a mafia game.  If you're interested, please sign up!  The more participants we have, the merrier it will be!  You can participate with your regular characters and/or side characters who don't have RPers.  There's no requirement to send applications for side characters.

:star: Rules :star:

:bulletred: There are three teams:
1) Santa's team (the good side)
2) Neutral team (the neutral side)
3) Grinches' team (the bad side)

:bulletred: We start the game with two to four grinches.  All characters have roles with special abilities.  (See the next section below called "Roles" for a detailed list of the roles.)  The grinches know who the other grinches are, but the good characters don't know who the grinches are.  I'll choose everyone's roles with http://www.random.org/, and then I'll send the participants their roles in notes.  Your character should NOT publicly reveal their role.  If your character wants to privately reveal their role in a private RP, they can tell up to two other characters, but no more than that.  Characters can lie about their roles to each other publicly and privately.  For example, if your character is a grinch, they can pretend to be an innocent character.

:bulletred: The game is divided into two phases: Day and Night.  We start at Day Zero.  Every Night, the grinches kill someone.  However, all the grinches need to send me a note at BrotherlyFluff with a victim's name.  If they can't agree, then I'll choose for them.  If only the grinch king/queen notes me, I'll take that kill.

:bulletred: Every Day, everyone votes on who to kill.  Santa's team and the neutral team try to execute all the grinches, which is how their sides win.  The grinches try to kill characters to get the amount of grinches equal to or above the members on the other two teams.  All the characters' discussions will be public on this journal, and you can jump in and out at any time.  That means if someone starts accusing your character of being a grinch, your character can jump in and defend himself/herself.  I'll keep track of who voted for who, and the character with the highest votes will usually get executed.  Your characters can change their votes as many times as they want before the voting deadline of each Day.  You vote by using deviantART's coding system :devusername: to get username or :iconusername: to get :iconusername:.  For example, to vote for Jounouchi, you'd write :devJounouchi--Katsuya: to get Jounouchi--Katsuya, or :iconJounouchi--Katsuya: to get :iconjounouchi--katsuya:.  If the majority can't decide, I'll either execute someone at random or an inactive character.  If your character doesn't vote three times, s/he will be executed.

:bulletred: If a character receives the most votes, there's an 80% chance they die, but a 20% chance they simply get thrown in prison.  If they die, I reveal their role by the next Day, and they become dead spirits and are unable to communicate with the living.  However, the dead can talk to each other in RPs.  These RPs are posted at the end of the event.  Dead characters can also speak to the partridge.  (See the next section below called "Roles" for more info on the partridge.)  Dead characters don't have any roles.  If they come back to life, there's a high chance they receive new roles.

:bulletred: If a character gets sent to prison, I still reveal their role the next Day.  Imprisoned characters can still communicate with the other living characters, but can't use any of their special powers unless they're a nutcracker.  The imprisoned and non-imprisoned characters also can't vote for each other.  There are three ways imprisoned characters can regain their freedom:
1) Another character can sacrifice themselves to liberate a jailed character.
2) A nutcracker can get them out.  A nutcracker is more likely to free someone who is on their side rather than the enemy side.
3) The imprisoned character can choose to commit suicide in jail.  If they're dead, maybe a caroler can sing a song of life to bring them back to life.  (See the next section below called "Roles" for more info on the caroler.)

:bulletred: Characters who die have a chance of coming back, such as if carolers use songs of life to bring them back to life.  If dead characters return, they won't necessarily have the same roles as before.  Therefore, if you want to bring back a fellow teammate, s/he might come back as with a role on a different team.

:bulletred: I'll be the game master in this game, so I'll post updates to show the events of each Night and Day.  In mafias, you control your characters most of the time.  However, mafias are like video games where sometimes the character you play is controlled in certain scenes by the game itself.  If you participate, you agree that the game master controls your characters during updates.  If I mess up on your characters' interpretations, please let me know and I'll fix it!

:bulletred: If you participated in the previous mafia Ten Nights at Freddy's Mafia Month, I will give your character(s) different roles than the last time to avoid repetition.  If http://www.random.org/ gives me the same type of role, I will regenerate a new number until I get a different role for your character.  There are different roles, including three secret roles, that have been added to make the game interesting!

:bulletred: The following characters cannot die from Day Zero to Day Three in Scrooge and Grinch Mafia Month because they were alive for less than ten days and nights in Ten Nights at Freddy's Mafia Month:
GameKing-Yuugi, Jounouchi--Katsuya, American--Badass, Tenma-Gekkou, Edo---Phoenix, Fujiwara-Yusuke

:bulletred: The following characters cannot die from Day Zero to Day Five because their RPers only have one participating character each:
Yami-Yugi--Pharaoh, Psychotic-Marik, Timaeus-The-Great

:bulletred: Characters can be OOC since this game can get quite silly with unexpected results.  Two lovers could form a crack pairing, characters who are normally enemies could work together to make their side win in a mafia, etc.

:star: Roles :star:

Most roles are only assigned once, but some can be assigned more than once.  The game starts with three to four grinches.  It's okay for characters to lie about their roles and about other characters' roles.  This can be expected because if your character has a role such as a wise man/woman or an angel, s/he'll be targeted by grinches.  And if your character is a grinch, s/he'll be targeted by Santa's team and the neutral team.  If your character gets the trust of the other members on Santa's team, and is truly on their side, then chances are they'll protect your character.  However, grinches are also capable of pretending to be on Santa's team to save themselves from being killed.

Santa's Team: These characters include Santa Claus/Mrs. Claus and Santa's helpers.  They have abilities benefiting the good side, and win if their numbers are higher than the grinches' side.

:thumb146176135: Santa Claus/Mrs. Claus: Can give a good role from Santa's team to someone who has a bad role on the Grinches' team.  However, if Santa Claus/Mrs. Claus accidentally chooses someone who already has a good or neutral role, then the ability is wasted, so choose wisely!  Santa Claus/Mrs. Claus doesn't know who the good characters are, so they can make a guess every night by sending me a note.

:thumb412828295: Wise man/woman: This role is named after the three wise men in the Bible.  Once a night, this character can note me with a character's name.  I will then tell the wise man/woman whether or not that character is a grinch, and tell everyone else that, "The wise man/woman investigated someone during the night."  If the wise man/woman investigates someone with a role other than that of a grinch, they'll be told that the character isn't a grinch, but nothing more.  If the wise man/woman investigates a grinch in disguise, they'll be told that the character is a grinch even though grinches in disguise are actually on Santa's side.  If the wise man/woman investigates the grinch king/queen, there's a 50% chance that the grinch king/queen will appear to be an innocent member on Santa's side.

:thumb146905968: Elf: During the night, can build a toy to try to distract the grinches.  An elf's toy has a 25% chance of distracting the grinches, which can save the grinches' victim from getting killed.  However, there's also another 25% chance that the grinches could notice the elf instead, and kill the elf in place of their planned target.

Angel Emoticon by 7Soul1 Angel: They can protect any character, including themselves, from being killed during that night.  They can’t protect the same person twice in a row, though.

Santa's bodyguard: If attacked by grinches, will pull out a gun/sword/Winged Dragon of Ra/harpoon/whatever, and lash out in the dark, killing a random grinch.  However, they die in the process.

Objection Emote by heybass Santa's lawyer: Can select someone during the night, including themselves.  If the selected character receives the most votes the next day, they don't get executed thanks to the lawyer.  The lawyer can't protect the same character twice in a row, though.

:pat: Good boy/girl: Characters who have been good boys and girls all year long.  They're the opposites of naughty boys and naughty girls.  During the night, they can try to spy on the grinches as they plot to kill someone.  A good boy/girl has a 15% chance of identifying a grinch, a 15% chance of identifying someone else's role, a 15% chance of being killed in place of the grinches' planned target, and a 55% chance of seeing nothing.

Basic reindeer by AnneKo Reindeer: If there's a tie in the two highest votes, the reindeer becomes a scapegoat (or rather, scapereindeer!) who gets executed instead.  If this happens, the reindeer then chooses someone to have the only vote in the next day's execution.

:baffled: by CookiemagiK Secret role 1: ????

:baffled: by CookiemagiK Secret role 2: ????

:baffled: by CookiemagiK Secret role 3: ????

Neutral Team: These characters have abilities benefiting either side, but they only win if their numbers are higher than the grinches' side.  Therefore, it's in their benefit to work with Santa's team.

Emote - Jack Frost by LordBlackTiger666 Jack Frost/Jackie Frost: This role is named after the personification of frost, ice, snow, sleet, and freezing cold weather who can either be heroic or sinister.  A Jack Frost/Jackie Frost works independently from the rest, so they can fling icicles to kill any victim of their choice.  They have a limit of three icicles, meaning they can kill up to three victims in the game.  They're targeting to kill the grinches, but might accidentally kill members on Santa's team if they're not careful.

Christmas Carol Two by Momma--G Caroler: Can sing a jolly carol to bring someone back to life, or a murderous tune or have someone die.  Carolers can sing up to two songs throughout the whole event.

:cosplay: by ChaosEmeraldHunter Holiday cosplayer: A cosplayer who doesn't have a definite role.  This character must choose a new role every night by dressing up to fit that role.  They cannot dress up as the same role twice.  They also cannot dress up as a grinch king/queen or a grinch.  If they don't send me a note to tell me which role they choose every night, then I'll choose for them with http://www.random.org/.

A partridge in a pear by Nice-Spice Partridge: This role is named after the partridge in the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas".  This fat, little bird can fly to heaven to communicate with and interrogate dead characters every night.  However, once every two nights, the partridge has a choice between either speaking to the dead characters or to Jacob Marley, who is Scrooge's dead business partner in A Christmas Carol.  Marley's ghost is cursed forever to wander the Earth dragging heavy chains that were forged during his lifetime of greed and selfishness.  He feels bad for his sins, and tries to make up for them by giving hints to the partridge.  However, just like with the dead characters in heaven, Marley can refuse to give any advice if the partridge does not believe in him, and displays no desire to help humankind.  Since the characters are normally not supposed to reveal their roles, all RPs with the partridge are done through notes.  These RPs are posted at the end of the event.

Nut Cracker by SirKoto51 Nutcracker: Can liberate a character who gets sent to prison, whether it's themselves or another character.  This ability can only be used once throughout the event.

Squishing Gingerbread Man Icon by Sugary-Stardust Gingerbread man/woman: Can cancel the effect of another character's ability each night.  The gingerbread man/woman can't cancel the same character's effect twice in a row, though.

He Noes No Love by BoffinBrain Grinch in disguise: If investigated by a wise man/woman, this character will appear to be a grinch.  However, they’re on the neutral side, and are not aware of who the grinches are.  Grinches in disguise get an extra role because their abilities are passive.

{ Free Icon } --  Mistletoe by Hardrockangel Mistletoe: Can make characters become lovers (see below) with up to three pairings.  If targeted for an execution, the mistletoe can pick a different character to fall helplessly in love with them, who commits suicide shortly after the mistletoe's death.
:iconladummydateplz:Lovers: These two characters are chosen to be secret lovers by either the mistletoe, or just randomly by me if there's no mistletoe.  They are both aware of each other and are close, so they can only win the game if they both survive to the end.  If one dies, the other does as well of a broken heart.  Lovers can still have other special roles or even be grinches, but their win condition is still to survive the game together.  They can consist of male x female, male x male, and female x female.  Since the characters are normally not supposed to reveal their roles, all RPs between lovers are done through notes.  These RPs are posted at the end of the event.
:icondummyhigh5plz:Siblings: These characters become brothers and sisters in the game even if they're not related in the manga/anime.  They are chosen randomly by me.  They are both aware of each other and are close, so they can only win the game if they both survive to the end.  If one dies, the other does as well of sadness.  Siblings can still have other special roles or even be grinches, but their win condition is still to survive the game together.  They can include male and female, male and male, and female and female.  Since the characters are normally not supposed to reveal their roles, all RPs between siblings are done through notes.  These RPs are posted at the end of the event.

Sword Fight by madb0y Competitors: The opposite of lovers, these two characters hate each other.  The only way for a competitor to win is if the other one is killed and for the remaining one to survive to the end of the game.  Since the characters are normally not supposed to reveal their roles, all RPs between competitors are done through notes.  These RPs are posted at the end of the event.

Grinches' Team: These characters include the grinch leader and his/her followers.  They have abilities benefiting the bad side, and win if their numbers are equal to or higher than the other two sides.

Grinch king/queen: The leader of the grinches.  If investigated by the wise man/woman, there's a 50% chance that they'll appear to be an innocent member on Santa's team because the grinch leader is more skilled at hiding their identity.

Grinches: Can kill one victim per night by working together.  They know the identities of all the other grinches.  They only win if they can make their numbers equal or greater than the number of non-grinches remaining.  However, they have to work together to kill during the night, so they can't go running around separately killing off more than one victim every night.  If only one grinch or only the grinch leader notes me, I'll take that kill.  If none note me, then I'll kill someone at random.  If two or three note me with different targets, I'll use http://www.random.org/ to decide.  Grinches can also give me a hunting order, which means they can give several names in advance, and then those targets are killed each night thereafter (or not, if a target was executed already).  Since the characters are normally not supposed to reveal their roles, all RPs between the grinches are done through notes.  These RPs are posted at the end of the event.

Fallen Angel by Maganius Unholy: If attacked, this character will secretly become a grinch.  If this happens, I'll simply tell the group that nobody died during the night, adding to the general confusion that is in this game.  Unholy characters get an extra role because their abilities are passive.

:stab: emote by robopigg Naughty boy/girl: Characters who have been bad boys and girls all year long.  They're the opposites of good boys and good girls.  If all the grinches are killed, the naughty boy/girl becomes one.  However, they don't know who the grinches are, so they can make a guess every night by sending me a note.
