Jenya ~ Protector
Your special role is being the Protector. At Imprisonment or Exile, you have the ability to insure one person stays safe.
At the start of each Episode I will start a new topic in your confessional. I will then tell you whether you are making someone Immune from Imprisonment or Exile. Recall the definition of Immune from ______:
Immune from Imprisonment - If someone has been awarded the status "Immune from Imprisonment," then this is what will happen: the Spies are not allowed to select that person for Imprisonment. They must select another person to be Imprisoned.
Your Imprisonment Immunities will be announced to the Spies, your Exile Immunities will be announced in the Burg. You can only pick yourself once total, there are no restrictions on your other choices.
As the Protector you have a crucial ability to keep people safe when they need it the most... how can you use your ability to its maximum advantage?
If you have any questions; ask.

Khaled ~ Watcher
You have a role. You are the Watcher. Every night, you select someone to watch very carefully. Should you survive the night, you will be given a report. The report answers the question: "Was a role action performed on this person?" I will answer either yes or no.
If I answer yes, it means another player targeted them for some role or role action during the night. They may have been targeted by a Citizen or a Spy with a role. Imprisonment choices by the Spies will not be included in this answer and for the purposes of your role are irrelevant.
Before every Imprisonment, please create a new thread in your confessional called "Episode X Watcher" or something similar. In it tell me who you wish to watch that night.
What does it mean when someone was selected? Could you use this new information to prove or disprove what others are saying? Think carefully on how to use this power, for it may be far more powerful than you imagine.

Jason ~ Spy Destiny Deflector
A role has been given to you. You are the Destiny Deflector. You pick one person's destiny and deflect it to someone else! Let's say you choose to deflect person A's fate onto person B. Anything that happens TO Person A will instead happen TO Person B.
It only affects actions done TO Person A. This does not affect actions Person A does to other people, unless Person A does it to themselves. All actions that happen to Person A will instead happen to Person B. All actions except Imprisonment, this does not affect Imprisonment decisions.
You will make a new choice every Episode before Imprisonment. Post a new thread inside your confessional called something like "Episode X Destiny Deflection" and make sure you tell me who you want to deflect away from and who you want to deflect to. In the event you are Imprisoned your choice will not take place. That choice will only be in effect until the next Exile, afterwards it is discarded.
If you have any questions please ask.

Donald ~ Spy Jailer
You have a special power. Your role is the Jailor. Every Episode you will lock a person of your choice up and send em away. Bye bye bitches!
Sometimes you'll be able to block them entirely from the game for one Episode, other times you may just frustrate them by taking away aspects of the game from them. At the start of each Episode I will create a new topic in your confessional detailing which aspect of the game you can remove from somebody. Respond to that topic who you would like to lock up before that Episode's Imprisonment story begins. If you wish to choose no one please post that. The 'lockups' will start off small, but as the game continues will ramp up in scope. For example, for the first Episode you will be able to ban someone from using PM's. They will not be able to send or receive private messages on the board.
You may choose not to use your ability for an Episode. Once you choose someone you have to wait two additional Episodes before choosing them again.
It's up to you to figure out how to take away the right people's powers and use it to your advantage. Good luck!

Mei Yun = Astrologer You have a special role. You are the Astrologer. Should you be able to read the pattern of the stars and predict the future, you will be able to save one person (like a doctor) on the following night. Every Episode you will play a game. I like to call the game: "Betcha I'm right!" Live at Exile, after someone has been chosen to be Exiled but before I reveal their Spy/Citizen Alignment, you will make a guess. Create a new topic in your confessional called something like "Episode X Astrologer guess" and guess whether the person Exiled is a Citizen or a Spy. You must post your guess before I reveal it! For this to work you would need to attend live Exile each time so you can post your guess in the few minutes while I am telling a short story reveal. I will give you at least 2 minutes to post your guess in your confessional, however it may be longer. Regardless, if I reveal that person's Alignment before you lock in your decision you will not receive a guess that Episode. In the event you know or are unsure that you will be able to make Exile you can make a guess beforehand. Just post a list of everyone in the game in your confessional and guess whether they are a Citizen or a Spy. If you are not there I will go by your pre-posted list for that Episode. I'm not going to use old lists though if you don't make 2 or more Exiles in a row so post a new topic with your list for each Episode you think you aren't going to be there! -------- Okay so we know that each Exile you're going to play a game where you guess whether the Exiled person is a Spy or a Citizen before I reveal it. If you are right, you receive Saves which you use at the next Imprisonment on people. If the Spies select someone you Saved to be Imprisoned, instead nobody is Imprisoned. If you are wrong, you receive no saves to use for the next Episode. Two more details: 1) Good news: Each time you successfully answer the question correctly, the # of Saves you get on the next successful answer increases by 1. So the first time you get it right you get 1 save. If the next time you get it right you get 2 saves. Let's pretend now you get the answer wrong, so you get 0 saves. But after that you get it right again, so now you are back up to 3 saves, etc. 2) Bad news: Should you successfully Save someone from Exile, you can't Save anyone else in the game. This aspect of your role concludes and a new, interesting aspect of your role takes place. I will tell you more about that when the time comes. You have a lot to gamble on my friend. Let's hope you can guess not just players Alignments but who the Spies are targeting. Good luck!

Gabriela = Taskmaster = winner of the choose your own role contest
Congratulations! You are the winner of the Choose Your Own Role pre-game contest. As your reward you will receive your role.
You are the Taskmaster. Once in the game, you can move roles around.
Every Episode before Imprisonment, you have the option of selecting two people. You do not have to select people.
You cannot choose yourself. If you decide to select two people, and either or both of them have roles, they will switch roles.
If one has a role and the other doesn't, then the person with the role will lose their role forever. The other person will gain that role.
If both players have roles, then the two players will switch roles.
If neither has roles, then nothing happens.
If you successfully move a role around, you will NOT be told this. Despite your ignorance, you will then immediately lose all of your powers and become a regular Citizen. You can only successfully switch people's roles once. As soon as you actually change people's roles, you lose this power forever, though you will not be told that your future selections are pointless. Choose wisely, if you choose randomly you may hit someone.
Note: If you successfully have roles switched, those roles will still be in effect that Imprisonment for those people that previously had them. Example: Before Imprisonment you switch A and B. 'A' had a role and used their role, they still get to use it and get back responses for that episode. After they get it, then they switch for the next Imprisonment. i.e. you can't cancel someone's role action that Imprisonment by using it.
If a role is moved around, the person who receives this role will not receive information about its previous usage, however the role will remain intact as is.
Remember that both Citizens and Spies may have roles. If a role is transfered from a Citizen to a Spy or a Spy to a Citizen this will not change that person's alignment. It is not a problem that these roles change alignment, although small adjustments may be made.
If you wish to select people to switch roles, do so by creating a new thread titled "Episode X Taskmaster switch" and tell me which two players you wish to switch. You must create this thread before I start posting Imprisonment or it doesn't count. If you do not post a thread I will assume you are not using it, you don't have to post that you aren't using it.
Although you came up with this role, I am wondering if you have fully understood all of its possible applications. The ability to take someone's role away from them forever is a power yet before unseen and will certainly impact the game greatly. Will you be able to take a Spy role? Will you give a role to a Spy? Time will tell.

William = Eugenicist
You have a special role. You are the Eugenicist. You are an accomplished scientist that has developed many important advances in your career. However, your brilliance isn't limited to just technical matters. You believe your expertise extends to social ones as well. You see humanity as one living, breathing organism... and no organism survives without making priorities and leaving some parts behind. Specific others behind.
Your goal is to eliminate inactives.
Every time an inactive is voted out at Exile, you receive a powerful reward.
Your first reward is a citizen role investigation. You get to ask me the question: Does ____ have a Citizen role? I will answer yes or no.
So what qualifies as an "inactive"?
* Player fails to vote at Exile without excuse. * Player fails to post at least 2 conversations in a given episode. * Player is a citizen removed from the game by me.
If a player who is eliminated at Exile meets any of those criteria in the Episode they are eliminated them in, you receive your reward. Your reward will be given to you after the following Imprisonment.
You are not allowed to encourage anyone not to vote, not to post conversations, or not to participate in order to gain a reward. If you do so you will not receive the reward.
The rewards may get better as the game goes on. You will be told what your next reward is once you have received your previous one. You have several choices to make with regards to your role and how you play it. Good luck. If you have any questions, please post them here.

I want to know, what sort of things would my role have done had I survived until later in the game?

I think it's a shame that 1) the winner of the "Create your own role" contest was a past player (sorry Pauly, but I really really really wanted to see a newbie get that one) and 2) that the roleholder was imprisoned too early for him to use it.
