It was a hot summer night and the town was bored. The public pool had sprouted a strange algae and no matter how many times they cleaned it and treated it with chemicals, it just wasn't going away. The playground equipment at the local park had developed a nasty termite infestation, making everyone wonder why they had ever thought the rustic wooden playground equipment was 'quaint and unique'. And to make things even worse, a local gang of rowdy teens had stolen every ball in town. The soccer and baseball fields stand empty and coach's are on the warpath. Suffice it to say that every mother in town is near to pulling her hair out.
BUT....Relief is at hand! Everyone stands and watches in awe as the convoy of brightly colored trucks, tents and equipment pull into the now empty parking lot near the old mall.
THE CARNIVAL IS IN TOWN!
Everyone will be attending the opening night of the carnival, because frankly...what else is there to do in town? But you don't just have to roleplay townspeople. You could be a carnie! Or part of the side show!
The Rules
Spoiler
Here are the rules of the game. The game will proceed like most any other game, except that we are not going to provide a list of roles that ARE in the game. We are only going to provide a list of roles that MAY be in the game. The only person that would know, for example, if there is a seer in the game or not is the person who gets assigned that role. It will be up to them to figure out who they want to tell and how much they want to tell.
The list of roles that may appear are as follows...
Good Roles
Spoiler
Townperson (villager..duh) - regular schmoe, wants to eliminate the wolves by lynching each day
Working Mom (Baner) - She takes care of kids at night. She can choose each night to protect someone from an attack
Soccer Mom (Careless Baner) - Always worried about everybody else. She can choose each night to protect someone, other than themself, from attack
Stay-at-Home Mom (Day Baner) - She takes care of the kids during the day. She can protect someone each day phase from being lynched
(The PTA) (Masons) - this group of parents knows one another before the start of game
Fortune Teller (Seer) - can scry one person each night to learn their role. She'll even tell you your role.....for a price.
Self-taught Enthusiast (Fool) - He bought a bargain bin tarot deck and now thinks he is the 'seer', can scry on person each night and learn a role, which may or may not be correct
Strongman (Beast) - when killed, be it by lynching or night attack, will take one of his killers with him
Clown (Disguiser) - With his trusty make up kit and bin of funny hats, the clown can make someone appear as whatever role they wish each night phase
Side-Show Freak (Llumblebee) - If someone chooses to look at the sideshow freak at night, they're so horrified by what they've seen that they find themselves unable to look at anyone else. In other words, If the freak is targeted with a night action, the next night the action of the person who targeted them will no longer work.
Cotton Candy Vendor (Voider) - Can target a player each night phase, if that person has a night action, the action is blocked by sticky, sugary goodness.
Agent (Assassin) - works for an undercover agency, every third night is able to call in a target that he thinks is a wolf to be 'taken out'
Feuders - these players win if they outlive the other
Lovers - these players are tied to one another, if one dies, so does the other. When pointing at the same target, their vote counts as 3
Bad Roles
Spoiler
Alpha - the leader of the wolf team, if present, will scry as a villager, but will not get to select his or her team
Devil - member of the wolf team, can scry one person each night and learn their role
Killer - member of the wolf team, can kill one person each night, if the killer is lynched, the wolves (or Alpha if there is one) will elect a new one.
Recruiter - Member of the wolf team, can recruit someone every third night, recruitment is refuseable.
Wolves - the bad guys, intent on causing havoc, each night they will try to kill one of the townspeople.
Gang of Rowdy Teens (Cult) - They need more people to help them cause mayhem throughout the town. Starts with only the cult leader, and can recruit someone each night into the cult, recruitment is refuseable
Near the end of the day, a few of the guests decide that the best time of day to gawk at the strange things in the House Of Oddities is after dark. This is when it's the scariest, right? Most of the normal stuff is there, the world's tallest midget and the world's shortest giant, there's even supposed to be a bearded lady in there. Emphasis on "supposed to be". When the small crowd gets to her display, it's empty. Zeb, the bearded lady, is missing. The room is in shambles, her stuff strewn hither and yon. Clearly she didn't leave peacefully. What on earth is going on here? Looks like it's time to gather everyone and piece together the mystery.
An angsty-looking teenage boy, complete with dyed black hair with brown roots, a Slipknot t-shirt, and baggy black jeans, strolls through the fairgrounds. Loads of too much black eyeliner make his skin seem paler than it should be.
Look at this crappy get-up. My little sister could build something that looked less rickety than this.
Glancing down, he spots some small stones by his feet. He grins, picks one up, and chucks it at the side of the House of Oddities.
Hey freaks, come out and play! Unless you're still getting into your fake costumes and stuff.
Laughing, he grabs another rock and throws it at Mountain Faerie.
*In the petting zoo, the friendly points a hoof at the evil fox that is also in the petting zoo. Exachix looks like he is about to steal a kid's comic book and must be stopped.*

Don't feuders usally know who each other are? It works like that in vampires I think. If I'm totally wrong it just means I have a random point. If you really think I'm mistaken I can cross it out and point at you again on the basis that the totally flawed logic is random.
Edit: Aww... man I think I am wrong... I guess I'll change it. Actually I'll just use invisable castle. Character name lamech, under notes it will say something about being for fun house.

From behind a tent, a pair of Vulpinians hid. Wrapped in light but long coats, they looked around nervously.
"Are you sure this is a good idea Andrew? I think we should have stayed in the forest."
"Sure I'm sure Jessica! How often does a carnival come this close to home for us? It's also the perfect disguise! Look around! There are costumed performers everywhere! This coat covers up most of our fur, and who's going to look twice at a tail when you have even weirder people wandering around."
"You're forgetting our faces Andrew."
"We'll say it's a really good mask. Now c'mon, I'll get you some cotton candy I've heard so much about."
Jessica looked questioningly at him, and he gave her a reassuring hug.
"C'mon, let's have some fun! You're not gonna let a little danger spoil this opportunity, are you?"
Jessica punched him lightly on the arm and pulled herself together.
"No, you're right. We can do this. C'mon, I'll race you to the rides!"
She dashed off, and Andrew was quick to follow close behind.

.....
I'm looking for Zebara. Anybody seen him?.... I mean her... I mean... Anybody seen Zebara?
Actually, I'm looking for everybody.
((I'm busy as hell. I just got even busier.
But I had an idea first.
I'm the Side-Show-Freak.
Scry me and you'll lose a scry tomorrow, so don't waste your time to verify. It's true.
If they kill me, they'll lose a kill tomorrow. I checked earlier via PM. So that's no good either.
Any targeting whatsoever against me loses their ability tomorrow. Anything.
Except lynching, but that would just be dumb.
So anyone that wants to contact me is free to.
I'll compile a list and give it to whoever I decide I trust the most just before nightfall.
If I get killed, there will be no kill tomorrow, you'll see that I'm not lying, and they'll have wasted two nights to kill one player.
It's win/win because I just got UBER-busy.
Offer is on the table.))

If he was made of SPIDERS.

Actually I did. But since you claimed to be a boring villager, I'll have to weigh whether I share it with you or not. 5 down - lots to go.

Very clever there, but I see you! I see your true form...

The aliens that put the chip in my head didn't count on me being able to see their forms because of it! Hahahahahahhahashah! *Collapse from lack of oxygen*
(Yeah, I'll wait 'till he figures something out)

A police officer (who may or may not have once been known as Corn Cob) wanders around the fairground, making sure that the carnival is safe and free of criminals who can't afford to bribe him. Suddenly he receives a message from his radio informing him of some trouble at the petting zoo. He hurries over looks at Mechafox and says "Get out of that cage kid." Then he turns and notices Atreyu pointing at an empty cage marked "Exachix". He picks up his radio and exclaims The Exachix is loose!"
He rushes out of the petting zoo and looks around. He thinks he sees Exachix for a moment, but it's just a couple of carnival goers dressed up as foxes (phantomfox) He quietly mutters to himself "Crazy kids must think this is a costume party... Where could that Exachix be hiding?"

A short bald figure dressed in hunting clothes and carrying a double barrelled shot-gun prances through the carnival.
He stops. Looks left. Looks right, swivveling the gun to cover the entire area.
Huwwo! Did anybody see a Foxy woxy go this way? I'm on the twail of a PhantomFox I am.
A nondescript man in a carnie uniform walks out of the warehouse and turns on his little cart.
Popcorn! Snowcones! And cotton-candy!
Come and get some!

"Hey kid, how 'bouts you be's ythe fishman fer today, an I'll throws rocks at youse. Sound fun? Fun fer me. Teehee."
The freakishly webbed hand of the Fish-man grabs Dirk Kris' shoulder. The tourquoise-scaled freak then guzzles some more of his beer. Seconds later the beer splashes out the gills slits on the sides of his bare chest, of course, but hey, it's the thought that counts. The fins on his head wobble as his head sways.
