I just realized I've done a pretty poor job of documenting this to this point, so at the beginning of D4, I'm doing so.
Each day is being called an episode for a reason. Within each episode, several things typically happen. Among them are:
1. Phineas tells Ferb he knows what they're going to do that day.
2. Ferb generally has the know-how to do said task.
3. Perry tries to foil Dr. Doofenshmirtz's latest scheme.
4. Dr. D is foiled, ending the episode with some action that would kill an ordinary person, as he screams, "Curse you Perry the Platypus."
So, the first 3 were worked into the game through GGRP roles. The last I tried to accomplish by having each BG die as Dr. Doofenshmirtz. I thought after a couple of BG deaths, somebody with theme knowledge coupled with the write-ups would make it easy enough to guess. I only named the other players for the purposes of keeping them straight here.
After 3 days with no BG deaths and limited people with theme knowledge remaining, I'm wondering if I out-thought things, though, and should have just gone with lesser characters (like the names I used) as BGs. Wouldn't mind thoughts on this from people, I guess. If nothing else for future endeavors.
You are Phineas Flynn, GGRP. Each night, beginning N0, you will select one task for you and your step-brother, Ferb, to undertake the next day. Ferb will be told which task you have selected, and he will determine how to execute it. Ferb will NOT have prior knowledge of the task list. You are not masoned with Ferb, but you do know his identity. Ferb is _________. The tasks you may execute are:
•Building Phinedroids and Ferbots (I, Brobot) - Once the Phinedroids and Ferbots have been created, the first of Phineas and Ferb to die will die as a Brobot. A random PJV WHO HAS NOT CLAIMED IN THREAD will then assume the vacated role.
• Discover Perry's hideout and become secret agents for the day. [Allows Ferb to mimic Perry's powers that night]
• Fix the museum's time machine. (It’s About Time) and use it to go forward in time (i.e., cancel night)
• Make a pirate ship out of Grandpa Clyde's dingy and use it to find Badbeard’s treasure. Two badbeards can be distributed that night and will hide their wearers from actions. (The Ballad of Badbeard)
• Serenade Perry. [Results will be unknown to the boys as long as Perry lives. When Perry dies, it will be revealed to them that they can use it within 1 day of his death to revive him (bring him home). If used while Perry is still alive, it can unite all 3 on a mason board (Oh, There You Are Perry)]
•Make X-Ray glasses. (No More Bunny Business) – Ferb can give this viewing item to anybody who is NOT Phineas or Ferb [to be passed until BGs use or holder is killed]
• Select a friend to help get a good grade by building them a portal to Mars. (Unfair Science Fair) - That player may use their portal to send someone else to Mars (effectively a vig).
•Form Phineas and the Ferbtones (Flop Starz) and become one-hit wonders, throw a diva tantrum, have your song played as elevator music, and then retire all in the same day. Your song will distract one RP from performing their action in a manner positive for each of you (which is beyond your control). [Will keep Candace’s search from taking place that day].
• Shrink yourselves and your friends down to play a game of hide and seek (Hide and Seek). Any shots taken at GGRP will miss them and instead hit some PJV.
• Build a giant ocean liner in your backyard, creating a romantic cruise for two players (link their fates as lovers).
You are Ferb Fletcher, GGRP. Each night, beginning N0, your step-brother Phineas will select one task for the two of you to undertake the next day. You will be told which task he has selected, and you will determine how to execute it. You are not masoned with Phineas, but you do know his identity. Phineas is _________.
[If one of Phineas or Ferb dies, the other will become a standard angel]
You are Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, GGRP. Every evening you will submit to the mod the name of one player in the game. You will ask them, “Watcha doin’?” They will respond with their role in the game.
You are Perry the Platypus, GGRP. Each day, in an effort to defeat your arch-nemesis Dr. Doofenshmirtz, you may select one player to kill. Each night you may select one player whose evil schemes you wish to foil. You will not be notified if you are successful.
You are Linda Flynn, GGRP. You are the mother of Phineas Flynn and Candace Flynn, stepmother to Ferb Fletcher. You are married to Lawrence Fletcher and are masoned with him.

You are Candace Flynn, Indy. You see everything that goes on in Danville, especially what your brothers do. Unfortunately, nobody believes you. So, every day you get 1 view, searching for your brothers in an effort to bust them. If you find both brothers and one of your parents, you can bust them. If one of the brothers dies, you need only find the remaining brother and bust him. You CAN NOT reveal your views to the village or you will be modkilled and I will make it my mission to make your WW/ilife for the foreseeable future miserable. If you are targeted for a kill, you will give up almost any of your views to save your own life (1 GGRP view or 2 PJV views) [Candace will give up her brothers and her parents only as a last resort. If she has a multitude of views, she will have the choice as to which ones she wishes to give up. Also, she can not be targeted on consecutive nights].
You are Dr. Doofenshmirtz, BGRP – Each night you may select one of your devices to use from the list below. This is in addition to the other actions your team may have. No other team member may perform your actions, and you may select each scheme only once.
• Age Accelerator-inator – Accelerates the age of things (A player dies of old age in a few days)
• The Slave-inator - The player this is used against must vote for whoever they’re told in-thread and may never mention their being manipulated during the course of the game. If asked why they are voting for the person, the only acceptable response will be no response or, "I'm not sure, I've just got a feeling about_______")
• Copy and Paste-inator (Creates copies of himself to do all of his waiting for him) - One of the lesser BGs will die in your place the first time you are targeted (i.e., you'll die as that player and they'll take your place. You must designate which player at the time you use this)
• Shrinkpheria - Machine that will make everything you hate shrink. An extra kill, basically.
• Make-up-your-mind-inator – Will cause the lynch to be determined at any point the Dr wishes.
• Giant Robotic Penguin Icy Freeze Your Socks Off Breath-inator Thingy - Will freeze the Tri-State Area, after which you will sell organic, yet highly-addictive Doof Brand hot chocolate for a million dollars. Will freeze a player at night, blocking any actions they may have.
• The Slow-Motion-inator - Delays an RP’s actions by a day
•Buoyancy Operated Acquatic Transport (Or Bo-at) – Will flood the city so everyone will have to buy one.
• Read my mind-inator – Can be used to determine any player’s role in the game.
• Turn Everything Evil-inator - A ray that can turn someone into your evil minion
• The Misbehave-inator – May be used to make another RP’s action malfunction.
