The Circle Document by AdventTutly

Chapter One: On Being Advent

qowjgns2--"who is advent?"

Balthiers--"a double edged sword, maybe triple edged."

ileee--"only the greatest mind gamer ever known to mankind"

ToxicKiss--"people would report him for trolling but we love him for it."

ileee--"that's bc people don't understand his level."

qowjgns2--"how does he have 6 wins if he trolls?"

???--"he's playing this game from the clouds, bro"

Best Will: AdventTutly, the killer, has been slain. "I like to eat brains-with knives, of course. What do you take me for? A zombie?"

So you've stopped by to learn some juicy details about yours truly? But guess what? Plans change! You will learn nothing about me because this was a trap. You're actually reading this from the graveyard. The metamorphosis has already begun. I'm starting to become you. I am you. Guisers gonna guise. You know, I once guised a chick and a depressed kid, so don't be too hard on yourself. It's not that you're bad at the game, it's just that I'm good at it.

On a more serious note, I'm incredibly unlucky. I always find myself in the worst of situations. Whether this is due to random chance or forces in the universe conspiring against me is unknown at this time. However, it's not what happens, but how we take it that makes us who we are. Which brings us to the next part in our adventure. See what I did there? Advent? Adventure? Fine. Don't laugh. Tough crowd. Back on topic, so I was feeling all down and miserable and then decided to let other people feel what that's like. Thus, I discovered my inner troll and started to channel it. It isn't funny when you're the punchline, now is it? My trolldom cannot be stopped, for I am the chosen one, the prophesied troll of trolls that would envelop the world in a massive troll so great that it would cause every troll to mass suicide. FEAR ME, TROLLS. I AM ANTI-TROLL. >:)

The world needs more playfulness; it's already a sucky place. Besides playing on here, I'd like to contribute something before my time is up. I've made a few roles and some setups. Check them out down below. Seriously. Do it. You won't regret it. And if you want to play together, you'll find that I frequent the training and sandbox lobbies.

Chapter Two: The Master Race

SlyEd--"I support circle master race theory!"

AdventTutly--"Absolutely! All hail circle!"

Best Will: AdventTutly, the virgin, was found hanging from a tree. "Don't believe the lies! It's not true! I am not, I repeat, I am not a virgin!"

In an unlikely turn of events, I have become something of a leader. It started out with me under the impression that I was alone as a singular circle in this dirty, run down place of epic mafia called Sandbox. There I discovered my brethren; Bob, Sly, and even Cynic, among countless others. Proclaiming myself Circle Overlord, I knew our interests weren't being protected, our circle interests, so I had to intervene, rallying more to the cause and defending against the filth of other races. Defeat is not an avenue we can afford to go down. We must conquer all who oppose us. Doges and cats will be spayed and neutered. Cubes will be boxed and shipped away. And the Anime People will commit seppuku. This, I swear.

It is a sorry state of affairs that this must be done. Genocide. Subjugation. Cruelty. They will do their best to portray as us vile and wicked. But consider how needful these other races are. They require the fruit of life, and the pestilence of death. But the circle is whole, all others are not. They take from the world and give nothing in return. Their destructive ways have continually brought us to the brink of annihilation, yet they limp on and toil away on their next monumental catastrophe. It goes without saying that we must return to form, we must return to purity, we must return to the circle. All have descended from the circle. It is imperative - no, it is our racial right, to take back that which is ours. Everything in existence owes patronage to the circle.

There have been a slew off-shoots calling themselves the master race, but rest assured, there is only one master race - the circle race. We must go forth with boldness and determination to topple these imitators. They will fall. Their genetics are meager in comparison to our own. The circle is a thousand times stronger, smarter, and more capable! It's a scientific fact that's been proven by the Department of Circle Advancement Sciences!

Chapter Three: Best Player/Host/Roles

josieeych--"WAHT EHF CUKC"

josieeych--"ALSO YOU ARE MY IDOL"

dowtie--"you win best host award"

dowtie--"the other two games have been dominated"

AdventTutly--"Hmm?"

dowtie--"theres 2 other games created before this"

dowtie--"but yours is filling"

AdventTutly--"I won best host because there was no competition by default."

AdventTutly--"People are starting to know my face. They know which host to depend on."

SLTFATF--"4 open games"

AdventTutly--"This is what happens when there is no designated host."

Eddyward--"REALLY"

Eddyward--"4 GAMES WITH 1 PERSON IN"

Eddyward--"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE"

gardenfulloflies--"5 games actually"

gardenfulloflies--"and i was the first to open yet no one joined mine smh"

SLTFATF--"Advent is best host"

AdventTutly--"Pretty much true."

AdventTutly--"If I say so myself."

SLTFATF--":P"

nightmarePhantom--"Will you share 2face?"

AdventTutly--"Maybe."

heartache--"twofaced cop is best"

heartache--"role"

heartache--"ever"

???--"don't share any of your roles. they're too good. they're better than the official roles. keep them until people are begging you to release them."

Best Will: No one knows what AdventTutly, the anarchist, was doing in that part of town. "I WANT 1 BILLION DOLLARS OR A BOMB GOES OFF. OH WAIT, I DON'T CARE ABOUT MONEY. HA!"

You know you've hit it big when you've got people who know you are and you have nicknames for each and every one of them; Veerat = V-head, Christopherzilla = R-tardzilla, Rawrarrior = The Rawrness, Smishly = Smish'ems, SuperChimpy = SuperChimpu, detoxfire = hat pic, Platypops = Platyface, Valdis272 = Uber-Cranky, Breadfuls = Breadoshock Infinite: Breadful at Sea Episode Bread - I could go on, but I think you get the picture. Hosting lets you see and be seen; everyone knows the greatness that is me, which usually lands me getting host killed night one, but to be honest, I'm not the smartest, quickest, or even the most hospitable, but I am willing to do what all the others are not. And that's why I'll always come through in the long run.

You're probably wondering how the heck do I be like the best? Well, well, hold the phone. I didn't suddenly switch on God-Mode and started making people my bitches left and right. Like the old adage goes "Practice makes perfect", you got to play the game, and then shake it up. One of the worst things you can do is to try the same thing every time. I remember when someone and me were mafia and the other person wanted to murder their friend, which is what they usually do. We hit them and their friend turned out to be the ghoul, targeting the person who pushed for the mafia attack, effectively killing my mafia partner. It's why I evaluate a situation and adjust accordingly. Even with the odds stacked against you - partners dead, town has great detection roles, you couldn't claim without causing a stir- you can still pull through and go for the win. It's pretty freaking hard, but doable. Making it look easy is the trick.

It wasn't that long ago when someone was reciting the description to one of my roles way better than I could. It's not all that astonishing to me, because I've always striven to make roles that would leave a lasting impression and could be used in more than one way, and if all else failed, they were actually fun to have around. I'd often lose sleep over my roles, not being able to wrap my head around about how I'm going to make them different, fun, and practical. I stress practical the utmost. There are a ton of custom roles out there, but they always come across as if the creator had an inspirational moment of "Let's do this for giggles" and made a role without thinking it through, leaving the role as either a hollowed out, useless background role or an overpowered role, both of which I personally wouldn't want to play with in any setup.

To help you show you what goes into my creative mad science, most of my roles are rarely what they started off as originally. Meaning, I take my roles through a rigorous trial and error, testing with feedback I get from actual players compared to just leaving a role as is. And sometimes, the role might not work as intended or people will find new, unexpected ways of messing it up, which is nice; that's the whole point of testing. I usually have to accept that it failed in some regards, and then go back to the concept and branch off in other ways from there. It's all for the best. And that's probably all just boring developer nonsense to the casual observer, but fear not, I know what you're really here for: the role icons. Even they had to go through starting off as something else, applying the same trial and error. A player said they thought the original dominatrix icon looked like a wizard. I promptly got to working on fixing it up, now the icon really outshines the previous one, quite literally, and isn't a woman who is putting their breasts on display like the nurse or hooker, which was my intent of doing a girl role that didn't have to be overly sexual or demeaning. I'm also open to doing icons for others. For example, I made an icon for Lady Nemesis (https://epicmafia.com/role/8886). I'll look at just about any request. To close things off, more than anything, when I'm at the height of my triumphs, I like to recall the times when I wasn't the centerpiece, because without without those moments, I would not have improved.

Chapter Zero: Worst Player/Host/Roles

AdventTutly--"I did you what you people asked."

1.???--"We know, Advent. Self vote."

AdventTutly--"Why? I still don't know how you were able to figure out I was mafia."

2.???--"it's called auto-win, scrub. learn 2 play."

Worst Will: AdventTutly, the treestump, needs someone to take care of their rabbit from now on. "You can chop me down, but you can never chop down my spirit!"

I'm kind of new to this, so be nice; everyone was new at one point or another. I really don't know what I'm doing. There are these roles and terms I don't understand. Like what's a Cthulhu? Why do people say auto-win? WTF is an n1? Well, not to worry. I'll just go do custom setups. Oh, what's this? I have to play ranked to unlocked setups? Brilliant. Looks like I'm going to have to do ranked.

I was reported due to a ranked game? What is this? I was trying to win, not lose. They said I threw the game when I didn't. This is so stupid.

Maybe I'll just go to this other lobby "Sandbox." Turns out it's not that bad. Maybe I'll make some of those custom roles. I'm quite clueless to this whole experience. I don't know how to do pixel art, play the game, or even navigate the site, but one day I'll be the best.

Chapter Infinity: A Brave New World

AdventTutly--"I burn brighter than all the stars combined."

As the world closes its walls, I break through them. There is no barrier that can't be broken, no record that can't copied. Who are we if we are nothing but something pre-determined? The Sandboxapocalyse showed that if you aren't good enough, you don't get to stay, but here's the Adventapocalypse: you don't know what you have until it's gone. You will always remember me long after I'm gone. My mind is nothing compared to the memories that are worth saving, which should be passed down from generation to generation. The future is in your hands. My roles are shared for everyone's use, but don't forget who gave you them.

Chapter Beyond Infinity: Have Fun

AdventTutly--"Sometimes you got to light a match to see a fire."

Everyone should find what's fun for them. It's easy to forget what you're about when you're acting like the end is always today, but when the end is always today, live it up and be as special as you can be, because that's all we really got.

Chapter Four: On Returning To The Epicness of Mafia

Coming back to the fold of playing, I got to say, the difficulty is just about the same, you learn the roles and you play them as straight as you can. The hunter seems to be my favorite role so far, along with that granny wrek.

Chapter Five: Being The Mafia

After winnning two ganes as mafia

AdventTutly-- "I remind myself of an inconspicuous dolphin with the maf hat. I do the dolphin smile while normally wearing up the black hat."

???-- "That's only because you watch animal planet."

Getting to be maf really boils down to three playstyles; cause as much commotion as possible and be vocally active, try passing it through and playing it silent, or the lie approach where you press the role claim.

Chapter Six: Being The Cop

After firing a gun as cop and ending the game day 2

???- "That was a game?!"

AdventTutly- "Ah, the toiled existence, I knew, but did not."

As a cop, I would say to out your reports day 1, and not risk it, I've played before where I didn't out my reports, and it usually helps to out on day 2 with two reports. It's fun to play as when it gets to be you, but very sucky when someone counter claims you.

Chapter Seven: Waiting In The Pre-Game Lobby

Aiyen-- "; - ;"

Aiyen-- "So bored""

Aiyen-- "The United Nations is planning to launch its first space mission in 2021."

AdventTutly-- "We'll all be on Mars."

Aiyen-- "The life span of tigers in the wild is thought to be about 10 years. Tigers in zoos live twice as long."

AdventTutly-- "We'll roar."

Aiyen-- "62% majority of Americans believe that JFK was killed in a conspiracy and that there was an official cover up."

AdventTutly-- "Magneto did not do it."

We'll see how well it goes before the game goes off, then we play. There happened to be a chance occurrence where someone displayed facts, and I answered. Not bad. Very good. Try to keep it clean.

Chapter Seven: Easiest Win As Cop

And so it became that I really won, and I random fired and saved us all the trouble and then.

Chapter Eight: My Experience On Epic Mafia

AdventTutly-- "I shot my girlfriend for the win. She just had to be mafia again."

Get to playing, and you might never know the experience you might have. I've enjoyed my time here, and I hope to be on more often than not, for me, it's about the times I've had and will have.

Chapter Nine: The Continuing Epic of Epic Mafia

Do that crazy, broke, and even illiterate, and you'll still be good.
