Welcome to Advance Wars: Mafia Rising, FEMM the Attorney! You are Max, the ball-busting, tank loving CO of Orange Star. Your preferred combat style is to shoot first, ask questions never. After all, if the enemy is lying flat on their face eating the dirt, who needs to talk about it, right? According to many of your other CO's, wrong. They will try and tell you about caution and investigation and strategy and such. They also do not know what they are talking about. You're going to take the fight straight to the enemy and show them what happens when they mess with you before anyone else even gets there!
Activated Abilities:
CO Power: Max Force -
You let out a large bellow, swing your fists, and knock the enemy flat on the ground. Screw talking, this will teacm 'em not to mess with you! {For the next 4 days, you gain 1 additional vote.}
Super CO Power: Max Blast -
All this sitting around and doing nothing is making me tired! You let out a mighty roar and introduce the enemy to your two best friends: fist one and fist two. {The lynch cooldown period is reduced by 5 days. For the next 7 days, you gain 1 additional votes and take 1 additional vote to lynch.}
Static Abilities:
Hit 'em Hard -
You prefer to solve problems with brute force rather than negotiations. Ranged weapons are for sissies. {You have 1 additional vote.}
You are aligned with the Allied Nations and win when all other factions have been eliminated.

Welcome to Advance Wars: Mafia Rising, jelly jiggler! You are Sensei, the old-school paratrooping CO of Yellow Comet. You're getting waaaay too old for this; in fact, every single day you promise yourself you're going to retire "when this is all over." The battles, however, never seem to end. Just because you're old, however, doesn't make you useless - in addition to passing on your immense knowledge to the new breed of CO's, you have so much battle experience that your enemies often tremble in your wake!
Activated Abilities:
CO Power: Copter Command -
As a paratrooper, you're a master of dropping in unexpectedly. This is dangerous activity, however; if your target has anti-aircraft guns on standby, you will be quickly annihilated. Better to let your allies know you're coming first. {I will send a PM to target player informing them that you are aligned with the Allied Nations.}
Super CO Power: Airborne Assault -
You may be too old to walk, but you're never too old to fly! You commandeer a chopper and swoop in to aide a friendly target. Just watch out for enemy missiles! {If target player is aligned with the Allied Nations, a quicktopic will be opened and you may converse with that player at any time during the game. If target player is not, you will be killed and your quicktopic, if open, closed.}
Static Abilities:
Getting too old for this -
Battling for as long as you have can take a lot out of a person. While your mind is still fully about you, you are not quite as physically able as you used to be. {You take 1 less vote to lynch.}

You're an all-around great guy, and with your wrench in you're back pocket, you're ready for anything! You hate people who try and threaten your friends, and you're going to do whatever you can to stop them. Many of the other CO's think you aren't ready for combat, but you'll show them how useful you can be - they'll thank you later after you've saved their lives!
Activated Abilities:
CO Power: Hyper Repair -
You put your mechanic skills to use and grease someone up so they don't fall apart on the road. {For the next 4 days, target player takes an additional 2 votes to lynch.}

You pull out your handy wrench and work your mechanical magic to not only fix all the problems, but prevent some that were never even there from becoming an issue! {For the next 7 days, target player is invincible and cannot be killed by any method, including voting. You may not target yourself with this ability.}

Everybody else is always so damn busy getting worked up over this lynchin' business...you'd prefer to take things nice and slow. Think about things in a calm, cool, and collected manner. Stop and smell the roses, you know? You also despise confrontation and prefer to deal with issues from a distance. You're an expert marksman and have carried a revolver for as long as you can remember to deal with people who get in your face. Because of this, people usually don't mess with you. Unfortunately, it looks like the peace and relaxation you enjoy so much are about to end. Guess you better meander on down and see what's cookin...

Some of the other CO's will probably try and tell you to slow down and look at some intel or something, but real warriors don't need technology to be victorious - they need strength!

You also do everything you can to keep him from self-imploding and turning into a raging maniac.

Activated Abilities:
CO Power: Barter -
You use your long standing merchant connections to see what everyone else is buying, selling, and shipping. You can learn from their plans accordingly. {Copy the last CO Power that was activated. You will be informed of its effects, and may choose new targets for the copy.}
Super CO Power: Merchant Union -
You call upon your fellow merchants worldwide to completely redirect troop and supply shipping lanes to benefit you. Everyone but you ends up confused as hell about where everything is going. {Choose two target players. {For the next 7 days, if a player would target one of those players, that player targets the other player instead.

Welcome to Advance Wars: Mafia Rising, Zhero! You are Adder, the slippery and slimy CO of Black Hole. You have a head bigger than the planet and are a control freak. The idea of something gross and disgusting, like this mechanic-boy Andy, having any sort of power astounds you. These clowns should be bowing down and serving you, not commanding infantry and tanks. Then again, you shouldn't be issuing commands either - let some crony handle the dirty work. Unfortunately, in order for that to happen, you have to take over the world first. You suppose your associates, Hawke, played by SocioPath, and Lash, played by mallowgeno, can help you out with that.
Active Abilities:
CO Power: Sideslip -
One pesky feature of the Allied CO's is their ability to constantly interfere with your plans using their CO Powers. Better to slink around them altogether. {I will reveal to you what percentage of target player's CO Power Meter is full.}
Super CO Power: Sidewinder -
Sneaking is fun, but stalking is better. By blending in and moving quickly, you can tail an Allied CO and find out what silly business they are up to. {For the next 5 days, I will reveal to you who, if anyone, target player targets.}

The Graveyard (Dead Thread) -
http://www.quicktopic.com/44/H/U8V4UUEu5eUr
Individual CO Quicktopics can be found in the role PMs. However, all they have are charge levels, so they are not very interesting.
All CO Powers charged at a base rate of one "star" per day. Certain player powers could modify this rate (such as Eagle's Lightning Drive or Drake's Typhoon). The following modifiers were also applied (when relevant).
Whenever an Allied Nations player was lynched...
If two or more Black Hole players were alive, all Allied Nation meters charged at 175% their normal rate for 3 days.
If there was one Black Hole player alive, all Allied Nations meters charged at 125% their normal rate for 3 days.
Whenver a Black Hole player was lynched...
If two Black Hole players were alive, their meters charged at 175% their normal rate for 3 days.
If one Black Hole player was alive, his meter charged at 250% its normal rate for 3 days.
Whenever any lynch occurred...
Meteor Strike (the mafia kill) charged at 200% until it was completely filled.
The length of each CO Power meter (e.g., how many days it took to charge) is listed below.
Allied Nations
bv310 - Kanbei - Morale Boost (8 days), Samauri Spirit (21 days)
Col.Cathart - Grit - Snipe Attack (14 days), Super Snipe (18 days)
Fate - Hachi - Barter (8 days), Merchant Union (14 days)
FEMM the Attorney - Max - Max Force (8 days), Max Blast (21 days)
jelly jiggler - Sensei - Copter Command (8 days), Airborne Assault (21 days)

Black Hole
mallowgeno - Lash - Terrain Tactics (8 days), Prime Tactics (14 days)
SocioPath - Hawke - Black Wave (15 days), Black Storm (24 days)
Zhero - Adder - Sideslip (6 days), Sidewinder (8 days)
Sturm (NPC) - Meteor Strike (14 days)
First off, I very much appreciate all your kind words about this game as well as the nomination from xRECK. Thank you! Constructive criticism so I can improve in the future is also welcome. I would definitely like to shout out to all of you as well, though, for there being
zero
replacements and only three prods the ENTIRE GAME. That sort of dedication is rare, and I think it made the game a lot more fun. This game was also fun to mod because you were a very amusing player group ... reading the Mafia Quicktopic next to the game thread (during the formation of the CAPS LAWKE ALLIANCE, for example), had me laughing out loud for a good couple of minutes on multiple occasions. So thank you all for that.
And thanks again to everyone for playing!
