It is the year 2060. Loopers are being killed. The Crime Syndicate isn’t closing loops — they’re being murdered in real time. Gangs tear the city apart looking for those responsible for the killings, but not a single shred of evidence turns up.
Until Loopers from the future start appearing. They claim to be from the year 2095. They say that have traveled back to this point in time to warn the Crime Syndicate of Rebel Loopers who want to destroy the entire system. The upper echelons of the Syndicate suspect that some of these future Loopers are rebels themselves, and they quietly order them killed until all of the rebels are rooted out.
It doesn’t matter if a few of loyal Loopers die in the process — there will always be another lost youth with loose morals ready to be corrupted with promises of unlimited drugs and wealth as long as they’re alive. (With the caveat that the length of their lives is to be decided by the Syndicate. Well, they know what they’re signing up for, don’t they?)
PAIRS AND PLAYERS BREAKDOWN
- 10 pairs – each pair has a 2060 counterpart (younger version) and 2095 counterpart (older version)
- All wolves are from 2095
- Town consists of 10 people from 2060 and 5 people from 2095
ROLES
- 13 Crime Syndicate Loopers, mix of Year 2060 and 2095 (Vanilla Town)
- 1 Crime Syndicate Gat Man (Town Detective) – Can identify the partner of target; will not know which of the pair is the younger/older counterpart. Will be replaced if dead within first two nights; results are given to successor. Can be from the Year 2060 or 2095. Cannot investigate themselves.
- 1 Crime Syndicate TK Expert (Town Jailkeeper) – Protects target and blocks target’s role. Cannot have the same target on successive nights. They can protect themselves. Can be from the Year 2060 or 2095.
- 4 (Year 2095) Rebel Loopers (Vanilla Wolves)
- 1 (Year 2095) Rebel Gat Man (Wolf Detective) – Can identify if the target is the younger/older counterpart; will not know the target’s partner. Will be replaced if dead within first two nights; results are given to successor.
OTHER RULES
- All the wolves have a one-shot protective power. They can protect themselves or others. If a wolf protects a specific target, another wolf can protect the same target the next night. If they’re blocked, their power will be considered used. Any number of wolves can use their power per night. This is a Night Action.
- All the younger (2060) counterparts have the ability to kill themselves during the night in an attempt to take their older (2095) counterparts down with them. Only one suicide per night; can only attempt it every other night. If more than one player decides to kill themselves per night, RNG will choose which of them is lucky enough to die.
- At the beginning of the game, people will know if they are the older (2095) or younger (2060) counterpart. They will not know who their partners are.
- The death of a younger counterpart will cause their older counterpart to cease to exist unless the latter is protected. Don’t think too hard about the logic of it.
- The wolves will share a QT.
- ADDITIONAL NOTE: I tried to balance the game to the best of my abilities, but I reserve to add extra powers if I fucked something up. This situation is unlikely, but I’m just throwing it out there.

DO NOT EDIT POSTS! DON’T QUOTE DIRECTLY FROM YOUR QT! Doing so may get you modkilled and end up hurting your team and the game overall.
The game mechanics are pretty complicated, so I’m happy to answer any questions you may have in your personal QT or on the game thread.
Attack arguments, not people. Everyone has a different play-style. Be accommodating to them.
Roleplay is encouraged but not required.
Have fun!
TWILIGHT IS ON THURSDAY (MARCH 8) AT 7:30PM PST/10:30PM EST
