Also I bet you my role is gay-er :( so if you don't mind I'll run your neighbourhood!

Leaving this for people to see before I hammer. SS is likely the mason/neighbour/QT partner/whatever people here want to classify as from this statement.

Tomorrow, if PP flips scum, I say we get some new leads and continue with the ones we had before. If not, Robin gets lynched and we look into SS.
@Celever, just in case you don't see it right away.
 
I was looking back at everything one last time and noticed the wording on what Robin posted seemed a bit off.

Drama is a stereotypically “gay” activity, and though stereotypes are usually totally wrong, in this case you really are fabulous. Being gay in school is a minefield, and you’ve been separated from the only other gay in school! Every night, including night 0, until you find your partner, please PM Celever “Night X -- Ask [user1] if they’re gay”. If you correctly identify your partner, a mason chat will be initiated between you. Your partner will be part of the mafia team.

The end part doesn't feel like something Celever would say in a role PM. "Your partner will be part of the mafia team." This just feels abrupt, and if Celever had written this (which I doubt he did), he likely would have left the "however" part on. Besides, why would the host confirm your mason/neighbour is scum?!

This has mostly the same wording, but it feels a lot more like something Celever would say. I'm comparing it to my own role PM to check for sentence flow and style of speech, and the way of speech in the end part feels a lot more natural compared to what Robin posted. It also does what any good host would do, and ICNCNDs the mafia team part.
 
Noticed the Drama/performing arts difference in the two abilities, looks like they belong to two different roles after all? I don't see why Robin would change the subject.

That brings us back to the point that someone's ability says that the other person with the ability Gaydar (PP) is part of the scum team. Of course, unless Robin forged the ability, which is why we'll go after him tomorrow if PP doesn't flip scum.

If it were 2 different abilities that are similar to each other, shouldn't they have at least the same wording for the functional part of the ability?
 
I don't think it's that illogical. The wording is fine if both Gay players are scum or one is scum and the other town. I'm not screwing with anything. Palutena even confirmed it at first. I guess this could've been a mistake on his part. But to me it just looks like he was trying to control the damage when people understand that it's likely a scum ability.

The way this is worded makes it seem that once the chat is started that, the other player will become part of the mafia team. Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but would that mean if PP is town that he would change alignments and become mafia once the chat was started? So, whoever this role belongs to is like a mafia recruiter or something.
I think there are three possibilities here.
1. PP is scum and this is his role. Robin has an ability were he receives a message containing random abilities each night. I'm not sure if that kind of role leans more town or scum though
2. PP is town and Robin is scum. This is Robin's own ability, but is fake claiming another role to avoid suspicion
3. Both PP and Robin are town. This role belongs to a third party who will try and recruit PP tonight.
Any of these ways, it seems as though PP either is scum or will become scum soon.
I won't vote yet, because I'm not sure how close PP is to being lynched.
 
I was also considering it being a recruiter, but the wording seems very awkward if that's what it means. There's also nothing else in the ability that hints at it being a recruiter. Plus, why would you be put in a mason chat if you became part of the mafia team?
 
On mobile right now.

I'm thinking if it is a recruiter role, it's something similar to what Sakura had in the last game, where she could convert Benjamin from town to indie. I'm thinking that's possibly the case.

Going to replace my vote now, since the day ends very soon and I probably won't be around for when it ends.

All vote manipulation is showed in the little vote tallies next to each player's name. You can still confirm that I haven't failed at adding up if you want, but just because there's x names and y tally, doesn't mean it's wrong :p

"Celever," the e-mail from his Head of Year titled, "I'm writing to you about your request to drop Performing Arts." Celever had been waiting for this moment. In his game, all of the other subjects ganged up on the poor thespian, and the pressure got to such a boiling point that Performing Arts even voted for themselves! "Given its current suicidal mindset, I see no reason why you shouldn't be allowed to drop the subject and have it as a free." However, when Celever got around to checking the role card he sent out to Professor Palutena, he was met with a shock.
You are Performing Arts.

I’ve heard that theatre and the performing arts are actually a decently big thing in America -- most kids are either pressured into being a thespian or a jocke from a young age, whereas over here in the UK it’s only really the latter. And, naturally, this is unacceptable, because theatre is amazing and everyone should visit them instead of cinemas.

Active: Audience Participation
Audience participation is so common nowadays that people who are sitting near the front end up preparing for it well in advance. It used to be an actual surprise, but now people are either just slouched in their seats petrified for the entire show, or they’re too busy trying to catch the attention of everyone on stage to actually enjoy the show they’ve paid to see. At night, please PM Celever “Night X -- Invite [user1] and [user2] onto the stage”. You will instruct user1 and user2 to target each other during that night period, and either out of fear or absolutely over-enthusiasm, they will listen to you for really no good reason! This, however, does not redirect the kill.

Win Condition: Eliminate all subjects which endeavour to prevent Celever from getting back into 6th form.
"Well, that's unfortunate, yet expected..." Celever sighed, realising that he was that much closer to having to drop out of school. "Go out there and fight, As, use whatever talents and skills you have tonight to keep me learning!"

Night 1 will end on Friday at 22:00 BST, or roughly 48.5 hours from this post in your own timezone.

There will be a 24 hour extension. I forgot to do something I really should've done at the start of the night. Sorry for the inconvenience. >_>
 
"Celever, as I understand it you now want to drop another subject? Why?" Celever's Head of Year was confused, and understandably so. Usually people don't drop more than 1 subject, and even then it can be kinda rare. "Well, y'see," Celever had been prepared for questions, but this still sounded weirder than he had intended, "I've got some friends playing a game online about my school subjects, and the members of the mafia team decided that I should drop the subject bbninjas represents, another player in the game..." After a blank look, the teacher muttered something about my future being utterly wasted before sending off an e-mail. Thus, bbninjas was dead.

Wait, what did I drop again? I don't seem to be able to remember, and... oh no! The role card has disappeared from the Google Document! Damnit guys, sorry... :(

Day 2 will be 4 days, sans just under 2 hours. Here's a timer.

Majority to lynch is 8. Go wild everyone!
 
Looks like BB was janitored. He could've grabbed the role card from the role PM, and wouldn't need to rely on Docs due to that.
