I will pay for all of the travel expenses to the area. Below is directions and a phone number to call. My secretary B will answer for you and answer any questions that you have. I hope that you are able to make it here soon! I'm throwing a masked party as celebration. There's going to be food and a ton of entertainment! It's going to be a Game Frenzy!
Sincerely, Your Old Friend TheEyeofRed

Roles:
Spoiler:
Acrobat
Wherever you see bars, poles, tricky ledges, vines etc., you see opportunity. Winding through a jungle of obstacles with hardly any effort, no one can match your reflexes and reaction time. This amazing flexibility can also work in more ways than one in a situation like this. So the voting booth is over there, you say?
During the Voting Phase, your vote counts as two. PM the moderators to cast your second vote.
Once per game, during the Voting Phase, you may force execute someone of your choice.
The person you choose has to have lost a challenge and therefore be up for vote.
Coward
Everything started to go downhill when you received the invitation to come to this place. First you had to decide if you wanted to come or not, then there was the awkward plane ride, and now you realize it's all a trap. Well, you may be cowardly, but that won't stop you from topping these... admittingly scary people.
If you challenge someone who has won 2 or more cumulative challenges in that list than you, you will automatically win against them. This can be tampered with.
If you and your opponent are participating in other challenges for that phase, those challenges will not count towards your passive ability.
Anyone who doesn't give a coward like you a chance is a coward themselves. Whilst anyone may make a guess as to your role, no one may guess anyone as the Coward unless they DSG.
Dictator
You possess the most authority over everyone here. Ever since you were a child, you had dreams of power, the kind of power that no one could simply deny. After lots of political trial and error, you now rule over your country with an iron fist. Anyone who dares oppose your opposition shall be annihilated!
2 times per game during the Action Phase, you may choose to either cancel an ongoing challenge or force a denied challenge.
If you cancel an ongoing challenge, neither participant will be up for vote from said challenge and neither will receive a gift.
If you force a denied challenge, the challenge that was originally denied will still take place like a normal challenge.
DiD (Dissociative Identity Disorder)
Your psychologist always tells you that you suffer from some sort of split personality disorder, but you have no idea what he's talking about. I mean, you do have your 2 trusty friends who always have your back. One's a world-class boxer, the other a professional dancer, a ballerina. Funny that all three of you got an invitation to come here...
Each Dinner Phase you may choose between three of your personality disorders: Boxer, Ballerina and Paranoid.
As the Boxer, you are moved up to the top of the Strategy test and to the bottom of the Reaction test.
As the Ballerina, you are moved up to the top of the Reaction test and to the bottom of the Strategy test.
As the Paranoid, you take a neutral stance in the middle of both lists and are immune to the Sniper and the Poisoner.
Hacker
Your knowledge of the internet and how it works far exceeds that of all these modern day amateurs. You can bypass anything, be it passwords, firewalls, you name it. Under your mastery of the computer, no digital technology, not even this fancy game, is safe from your grasp.
Whenever someone is killed via non-execution you will hack your challenge positions and give yourself new ones at random.
Once per game, during the Voting Phase, you may cause the system to malfunction and skip the phase. This means that the current execution will not occur, no plate will be poisoned and anyone who hasn't yet received their gifts won't get them.
Key Holder
An expert locksmith, you successfully managed to get your hands on a bundle of all the keys in the area. There's just one problem, though; you don't know which key goes where. You would check all the doors for the right key, but the rules prevent you from doing that. Looks like you'll have to do things the hard way.
Every Action Phase, you may choose a player and a challenge list. By the beginning of the next Action Phase, you will know if the selected person is above or below you in the selected list.
Once per game you may use an anonymous key to try and guess as to someone's role. As this guess is anonymous, only you will be notified if it's incorrect. This does not consume a Free Guess (though you cannot use a public guess on top of this) and you will not die if you are incorrect. This guess can be made at anytime during the game.
Little does the Hacker know that you have some computing experiences yourself. Whenever the Hacker changes positions you will be notified of their new stance.
Mastermind
Your field of knowledge over others makes you a dangerous competitor for others. While not being entirely bright yourself, you know what it takes for others to prevail in their quarry. What's interesting about this "game" is most certainly the Strategy test... this is a chance to show others your vast knowledge and mind complex, and with luck, you may even triumph in the end.
Every Action Phase you will be notified of the intended winners of all the accepted Strategy tests.
3 times per game, you may change the winner of a Strategy test. You may use this ability once on yourself.
Mole
Most of the people here don't even know you exist. Your job is staying low, always being around, yet always out of sight. No one has ever been able to catch you, and that isn't about to start here. You have one task; stay low, collect information on others and eradicate them. So basically, do what you do best.
Your location does not appear on either of the challenge lists.
3 times per game during the Voting Phase, you may hijack a player's gift at random and turn it into whatever you want them to have.
Pacifist
How could these people do this? How could your so-called friend trick you with an invitation, lock you up inside with other old friends and then force you to play a game of life and death hosted by some psychopath? And they're all actually going along with it? No, you need to show these people the error in their ways and that killing is never the answer!
Every Dinner Phase, you may select a player to anonymously give a rose to.
That player will no longer be able to guess anyone as the Pacifist for the rest of the game.
Pick Pocket
People always say that the only way to be successful in life is to get a job and raise your fortune. Boy, did you prove them wrong. You've never worked a day in your life, and yet you're happy with everything you have. What's your strategy? Steal from the rich, obviously. It's not your fault that their wallets are practically asking to be stolen.
Every Dinner Phase you may swap up to 5 plates.
The swapping is secret, meaning it will not be revealed publicly whenever this ability is used.
If the Poisoner dies, you will become the new Poisoner.
Poisoner
Oh, how convenient that the hosts decided to leave a couple of bottles of beautiful concoctions laying around. They were so easy to take. Now, time to put these bad boys to use; this is a game where you need to kill to win, right? In that case, you're certain that the hosts wouldn't mind if you slipped a little bit of this into the other player's foods...
Every Voting Phase, you may poison somebody's plate. If they eat it, they will die, unless they eat a plate of Premium Food or are the Paranoid.
Serial Killer
Why is it that society always gives you the cold shoulder for doing the thing you love most? Is it your fault that the rush you get from driving a knife into someone's flesh is the most exhilarating feeling ever? Well, understandably, this is a game, and games have rules. As long as you get to kill every now and then, it can't hurt.
Every Dinner Phase you may stalk two players at once. Those players must participate in at least one challenge the following Challenge Phase, or you will kill them.
Only you and your targets will know about the stalking.
Sniper
Men quiver at the thought of your presence. Everyone knows you're there, watching, but they don't know where. Then, when they least expect it, they're on the floor, dead. All you need to kill a man is to rest your scope on them, and then it's night-night. You'd kill every one of these bastards if you could, but rules are rules.
Every Voting Phase, you may shoot a player. That player will not survive the shot unless they are the Paranoid.
You may only shoot losers of challenges.
The Snipe is silent, meaning it doesn't reveal your role.
Additionally, whenever you win a challenge, you gain a bullet, which you can use to shoot again. You can only use your ability if you have a bullet.
You may only store one bullet at a time.
You start off with one bullet.
Strategist
You plan everything ahead of time, so much ahead that you manage to find and fix every problem in your master plan. You've become so infamous with strategy that people have begun to fear your name, and hope to never cross you in battle. You've taken notice of this, and since you're trapped in this game, you may be able to use this to your advantage.
3 times per game during the Dinner Phase, you may intimidate a player.
That player will be unable to challenge anyone, however they must accept all challenges towards them.
The intimidation is silent, meaning only you and the target will know about it.
Tour Guide
Tell no one, but you stole a map from the hosts. Now you know what every building in this little area is, and you'll always know where to go... not that it really helps you. There's not much space to really move around. But hey, I guess you do have a slight advantage and know what to expect in those Reaction tests.
Every Action Phase, you will be notified of all the intended winners of all the accepted Reaction tests.
3 times per game, you may change the winner of a Reaction test. You may use this ability once on yourself.
???
Throughout your life you've been burdened with the ability to kill others and assume their identity. People have called you a monster... but in a game like this, it would be wise if everyone just stopped and thought for a moment: Who is the real monster, and who is the man?
Once per game, you may kill a player and take their role. This action will be preformed immediately, meaning that it can be used in the middle of the phase.
You will become their role, and assume the positions that they once had.
To use this ability, you must have won at least one challenge in the previous phase cycle.
You can be guessed correctly as ??? or the stolen role.
