"My brethren, the time is now! We have been treated like dirt, ripped from our homes and families, humiliated, spit upon, oppressed by President Claus and all of his foolish followers! We will no longer stand for this! We must unite, all of us, for this one cause. This one, last battle against the Government. But I cannot do this alone. I need the help and support of each and every one of you. You all have talents and resources available that will help us, but we need the trust and support of everyone to achieve our goal. Who's with me?"

The crowd erupted into cheers. "GRINCH! GRINCH! GRINCH!" Applause shook the meeting hall, as everyone was eager to get this revolution started. However, one voice piped up from the crowd.

"What, do you expect us just to miraculously overthrow an all powerful government with no plan? I government which, might I add, has an army of elves and a plethora of magic on their side?"

Grinch scowled. He did not even feel the need to scan the crowd to know who piped up with such an idiotic remark.

"Cindy," Grinch began. "Your foolish, childish mind has seemed to forget that we too have elves on our side. Belle, Jingle, if you would?"

The two elves took the stage, as Buddy Hobbs watched on with a frown on his face.

"Belle and Jingle are two elves that have defected from the President's evil workshop. They do not expect your tolerance of them, only that you will trust them as they fight alongside all of us to take back what is rightfully ours; Christmas day."

Suddenly, a faint sound was heard from outside. The townspeople collectively rushed to the window to see what was there, but only found the desolate and destroyed city staring right back at them. There was nothing there...and then they heard it again. A soft little ringing in their ears that was surely coming from outside but...but where?

As if to answer their question, the sleigh burst through the window, sending shards of glass everywhere. The people screamed and cowered, some trying to run from the door which had been locked from the outside. They were all trapped, like lambs prepared for the slaughter. The Grinch roared in anger as the President himself stepped out of the sleigh. In front, leading the slay, the President's most loyal henchman gave a wink to Olive who quickly bared her teeth. Jangle locked eyes with his twin brother Jingle, a look of sadistic glee in his eyes. The President walked up to the stage and began speaking to the people.

"Tried to overthrow me, hm? I have eyes and ears all over this city. Next time, try to be a bit more secretive, I suppose. Now, you will all have to pay, of course, for this horrible crime of treason. But first, let's play a game."

With that, Nicholas snapped his fingers and the lights flicked off. After a few moments of terror, everything was back to normal except...except they all had different faces. Nobody knew who was who. The townspeople looked around in horror, trying to figure out who was their friend and who was their enemy. Now the fun begins.

With 22 alive, it takes 12 votes to lynch. Day One ends at 9:00pm on 12/31. Plurality is in effect.

While everyone was trying to figure out who was who, accusations ran wild. Suddenly, the doors began to shake and another figure burst through the door. "Hello guys. Sorry I'm late to the meeting, I noticed the doors were locked and...and what the hell happened here?" Everybody stared at this new figure. And everyone had the exact same thought.

Should they trust him?

GREENDAY HAS JOINED THE GAME

"HAHAHAHAHAHHA, NAWWW I'M NOT MAFIA! I'M THE DOCTOR! NAWWWW EVERYONE THIS ISN'T FAIR STOP LYNCHING ME!!! NO!!!!!" Vernon screamed around the room. Everyone stared at him with a blank expression. Apparently, this was normal around these parts. He went off on tyrants, insulting and cursing people while everyone began to circle him. This was a perfect Nicholas disguise, after all. Bringing so much attention to oneself? Only Nicholas would be so foolish. As the group collectively circled around him, Vernon smiled at all of them. "I AM GOD!!!!" He took a step back...only to realize that where there was once a window was now empty space. With one solid motion, Vernon fell from the tower where they were having their meeting. "NAWWWWWWWWWW-OOOOOOOOOO"
shouted Vernon as he began to change into his true form. The group looked below, making out the shape of...no...it couldn't be!

VERNON, AKA GRINCH, REBEL LEADER, HAS BEEN MODKILLED!


Name: Grinch

Description: A revolutionary, Grinch knows that President Claus will run the world to the ground. The only possible solution in Grinch's mind is to assemble a rebel force, big enough to outsmart and take down the president and his lackeys. Recruiting such a large rebellion will be no simple task, but Grinch is prepared for anything to go down. He will not stop until the President and everyone who supports him is dead.

Role: Every night, you must recruit another member to your cause. However, half of your rebellion must always accompany you. If you visit mafia, you and all visiting members will perish. You must always go to recruit.

Everyone looked around at each other, shocked. Grinch was the reason they were all here. He organized this rebellion! "His death will not be in vain." Someone said, and everyone nodded in agreement. The urge to hunt down the Government was now even stronger.
