Anatomy of a Role
In this game, the role will consist of 3 parts. The alignment, the first name, and the last name. All town players have the same ability an all scum players have the same ability. At the outset of the game, scum players will know their own last names only, and town players will know their first names only. Upon death the alignment and both names will be revealed.

===============================================


Town Player Power Description:
1. During the night you may target a player for an alignment investigation. You should specify this to the moderator via PM before the end of the night. This investigation will only succeed if you have the same first and last name as the player being investigated, and you are the only person investigating that player that evening. Otherwise you will receive "No Results".


===============================================


Scum Team Power Description:
1. Each night you may select one team member to kill another player.
2. Each night you may select one team member to investigate another player. This investigation will only succeed if you have the same first and last name as the player being investigated, and you are the only person investigating that player that evening. Otherwise you will receive "No Results".
3. One time this game, a member of the scum team may kill a living player during the Day.

a. The targetted player's vote for that day will not count, but they will not die until the end of the day.
b. To use this power, the player who will do the killing must publicly post in the game thread " {Name of Player} from the heart of hell I stab at thee, {First Name of Player to die} {Last name of player to die}!". Note that the first and last name must be correct or the kill will not go through.
For example: If I was a scum player who wished to kill giraffe whose first name is 'Ab' and last name is 'Retread', I would post "Giraffe from the heart of hell I stab at thee, Ab Retread!"

4. You may use a private message board specified by the moderator to discuss strategy at any time.
===============================================


Additional note: The town investigation interferes with the scum investigation and vice versa.

Town wins when all scum are dead.

Scum wins when the number of living scum is greater than or equal to the number of living town.
