It was pretty fun before...what gives decon?

Yeah, for example you know who shouldn't get a Veteran Vengeful Townie. + Show Spoiler +

Electric is not very effective against Ground
Ground is not very effective against Flying
Fighting and Normal are not very effective against Ghost
Additional Information:
All damage this game is persistent. This means that .5 KP damage will stay with you throughout the game. Things will be rounded up if they get weird.
Also the Mafia are required to select a player(s) to carry out their Night Kill(s). This KP Will be effected by type effectiveness.

Those are all real clauses in competitive pokemon by the way

Let's say I am told that I'm choosing for a fire style pokemon and I don't like the guy. Could I, hypothecially speaking, give him some garbage role that has nothing to do with his specials? :p
I guess that's a little exaggerated but do I have to choose KP roles if their ability is being good at KP roles? Edit: Oh nevermind about the "if I get someone I don't like", it's anonymous but the question's still the same.

I'm also still excited about thinking of a power for someone
It honestly depends on the type of power given. It will be a good thing nonetheless
Someone needs to make the "ultimate dt" reveals full role and alignment of the target, as well as who he targeted at night and who targeted him and how many uses of any limited use power are left. . Make the hosts *work* for the exta info! :-P

Think about if you had, say, Hitmonlee as the player you have to give your powers. Give him Endure, Hi Jump Kick, Foresight and Meditate.
Endure makes him survive ANY amount of KP regardless of the source for the night, leaving with 0.1KP of life in case he would die, but make him no able to be targeted for the next night Hi Jump Kick causes 1.5KP, but if the target is protected/avoids it somehow, user takes 0.5KP instead. Foresight makes target unable to be protected/avoid attacks for the next night Meditate adds an Attack and a Defense boost to Hitmonlee, boosting HJK by 0.15kp and reducing incoming KP by 0.15. You can only use one ability per night.
Like, I made this just right now. It's not incredibly strong since there is a drawback for every ability, and it's incredibly interesting.
Hopefully players in this game like Pokemon as much as I do to create interesting roles like that. Hopefully, everyone has 4 abilities LOL :D

Like a charmander with flamethrower that does a bunch of damage. Giving 4 abilities would be way too much, unless of course it's 4 posting-restrictions.
Who wants to get the Bill Murray role? I think I can make that pokemon-ish as well.
There are things called Jacks of All Trades... also, this is PTP. You've played before, come on!

I have never played PTP before, that's why I was hoping to join one :p
Wait, really?! I thought you've played before! As long the role is "balanced" it is good.

Yeah that's fine, just give him a quick rundown of how the setup works
