"I’m scared to die; I have to leave this country quickly!" The moon’s full of scratches; the rabbit jumps off!"
The Usagi absolutely hate the human race. They have a reason to do so, too, for the humans placed their flag on the moon, stepping on the Usagi homeland as if they owned it and basically 'claiming it' as their own. Maybe they don't know about the existence of the Usagi race. That does not matter for the Usagi, though.
While Usagi tend to kill humans, there are criminals among them too. And this is the story of a criminal Usagi. For their (not accidental or forced) crimes, they were supposed to be executed. However, they jumped off the moon, running off to earth and breaking through the ceiling of Misuterii High's courtyard minutes before the clock struck 6PM. They landed on the courtyard's grass, only to be spotted by a teacher. Of course, they couldn't just let the teacher reveal their location. And so, gunshots were heard coming from the courtyard. Clearly, the criminal Usagi had shot the teacher to death, making a mad dash to wash away the evidence afterwards.
. . .
And then, the lockdown happened. The criminal Usagi disguised themselves as a student, planning to kill everyone included in the lockdown. Even if an Executioner had followed the criminal Usagi, the students were still doomed. After all, this executioner hated humans as well. The students' only hope was a hidden Usagi who had ran away from the moon for the same reason as the criminal long ago, and has been living under the disguise of a normal student. But would he choose to save the students?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are the Criminal Usagi!
You are an Usagi, a half-human, half-rabbit that lived on the moon. Usagi generally hate humans due to them placing their flag on the moon as if it was theirs. You have killed many of your fellow Usagi and because of that you were to be executed. However, you ran away from the moon, escaping to this school through its courtyard's glass ceiling. Unfortunately, a teacher spotted you when you did so, resulting in you killing them and removing the evidence, disguising yourself as a student in the meantime. You're sure you felt somebody following you, so there's probably an executioner Usagi who followed you and is trying to kill you. Your only goal at the moment is to survive, one way or another.
You are the Executioner Usagi!
You are an Usagi, a half-human, half-rabbit that lives on the moon. Usagi generally hate humans due to them placing their flag on the moon as if it was theirs. In addition, you are a member of the Usagi police, which allows you to kill any human that you believe is actually a criminal Usagi in disguise.
You have followed a criminal Usagi who was supposed to be executed for murdering other Usagi, but managed to run away. Eventually, they dropped into this school through the glass ceiling, killed a teacher and ran off with any evidence that could point to them.
You have decided to enter the school and disguise yourself as a student to find and eliminate the criminal Usagi.
You are the Runaway Usagi!
You are an Usagi, a half-human, half-rabbit that lived on the moon. Usagi generally hate humans due to them placing their flag on the moon as if it was theirs. However, you are a criminal Usagi that ran away long ago, as you would have been executed otherwise. You have been living as an ordinary student for a while now, which also caused your hatred of humans to subside.
Since you are trying to act as a normal student, revealing yourself to just anyone is probably not a good idea. Aside from that, though, you're free to do as you please.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: The criminal usagi's crimes were not accidental, do not RP them like that. They weren't forced, either. Also, the runaway Usagi has the lowest health out of every role and the only role who has no special weapon. Do not fret, however! I, the great Ayano, have given the runaway Usagi a strength and defense boost. The runaway usagi is completely neutral. The executioner usagi is allowed to team with the runaway and so is the criminal. Credits to Zantus for tons and tons of help!!! Otherwise this mode would've never been completed. Also thanks to Sol who created new role descriptions. Download link: www.sendspace.com/file/9n1ujw

I sincerely question the point of these kinds of modes.
You make three roles with justification to mass murder, and then make them insanely overpowered. Worse yet, you give them really shallow reasons to mass murder.
How is this any different than government intervention with both soldiers just also aiming to kill each other?
Moving on to real criticisms, despite the downloaded files including what appear to be overlays/icons for the 'revolvers', they're not called for in the weapon-creation lines. set_RPgender doesn't work that way and ends in males using 'her' pronouns for automatically generated lines. The real names are.. Very clearly not serious, and they're visible. The formatting of both the role texts and the actual code itself is god-awful(I blame Zantus). Basically a single db + shot will kill someone(More accurately, it reduces them to 3% in the case of the first two roles, and 15% with the runaway rabbit), making 'combat' not a real thing. Just point and click instamurder.
Bringing up the discrepancy between the first two roles and the runaway, despite having 135% damage, their revolver does 25 instead of 35 - this leads to them always being weaker in a straight up fight, regardless of the role text's insinuations. It also makes me have to question two things. First, why bother giving the rabbits 200% on top of defense buffs? Why bother giving them an extra 10% damage? Why bother giving the runaway rabbit a higher defense value instead of giving them just.. Less health than the others?
Oh, and the end file's broken and not properly done either - If only one person is left alive, and the 'killer' is dead, it says only the killer is alive and wins, while if they're alive, it says only they died.
How is this mode supposed to function, and why would anyone who isn't already some kind of obscene fan of government intervention play it? What's an example round supposed to be like? What do you think should, would, and will happen?

That made you sound like a dick, somewhat. It IS different than government intervention. I set the real names mostly for testing purposes though one of the real names is actually serious. I'll remove the gender thing, though. The runaway Usagi's revolver is supposed to do 25 damage. Also, I already fixed the names and tested them myself, and they weren't visible to the public. You're exaggerating by saying 'instamurder' since the revolvers aren't as good as the burst rifles. Why do you even care about the actual code? It's not like it should bother you. By your logic, why have Rabbit's Doubt if there's Nanaya mode? Simple, because they're two modes with (nearly) similar objectives but different stuff. Glitch also has overpowered roles, and so do most of zantus's modes. The weapon coding was made by zantus but changed a bit by me and I didn't want to mess with it much anymore so I didn't mind it. And to be honest, a student is able to kill an Usagi as long as they're good (...and use stairs). The boosts themselves are to give the Criminal Usagi courage to actually kill and for the Executioner Usagi to be able to handle the Criminal Usagi (since they're exactly the same for those roles). Now, the coding stuff criticism was stupid (referring to when you said it's god-awful) because it shouldn't bother you or anyone in that case, as I said before. Thanks for the criticism, though i'd rather it if you said stuff like that in a way which didn't make you seem like a complete dick next time. I will boost the runaway Usagi's revolver so it's the same as the other roles'. I'll fix the other stuff too.

I am a complete dick, so it's not that surprising.
You say the names weren't visible publically, but they were called via the end-round script as well as, obviously, being visible to the roles themselves.
I'm also not exaggerating by saying instamurder - Being droppd to 3%without frail from a single hit is equal to insta-murder. It's impossible to fight back when you're at 3%, and saying 'oh it's fine if people abuse a very specific mechanic properly' is.. A really bad thing. Especially when abusing it is generally considered extremely scummy and will make people hate you. If someone does have frail, they die instantly, or if the raving rabbids have something to boost damage(Assault Slash, Critical Hit), people still die instantly. Due to being a custom weapon, it's impossible to steal the revolvers if they have them equipped, and the revolvers take 0 energy to use. It's near impossible to just knock them out to take them, and non-lethal assault is meaningless regardless.
Nanaya and Rabbit Doubt are actually drastically different modes, and comparing them is.. Rather silly. Nanaya is a death match where everyone has superpowers and is supposed to be a mostly RK mode from Mitadake - Rabbit Doubt is a fully RP-based mode where everyone has to kill one person, and one person only, to survive. It's supposed to be tense and dramatic, with lots of conflict, doubt, and hesitation, as well as on-the-fly formed groups, and seeing how long it takes for the group dynamic to break down as people get desperate. They are entirely different with radically different goals.
This mode, on the other hand, has two roles designed for, and given the goal of, killing everyone in the building. It's little different than government intervention, other than soldier A and gunman B are put on different sides, and someone else also brought a gun to school. The damages are high enough that there's no difference, practically, from a burst rifle, and the roles even have the same health. In fact, the raving rabbids have higher damage and defense, making them even more overpowered.
For the record, 'But Zantus has overpowered roles!' is kind of a really, really pointless defense of anything ever. Sure do! They're also generally not that great, have very forced and railroaded RP, and are incredibly prone to breaking. I've had to personally fix several of them when I tried to use them during my near two years of hosting, now. Worse still, when they inevitably need to be changed, the code is a solid wall of text that makes it a pain to slog through looking for the single part that was messed up. It's a side-effect of using something like notepad of all things for coding. It's a favor to yourself to find something else to use and breaking things up, because then it's a lot easier to go back and change things for yourself. I'll admit it's mostly personal preference, though.
Unless you were aiming for a super overpowered role show-off where everyone gets massacred to be DARK and EDGY like government intervention or half of Zantus' other modes, fine. You did well enough, just slapped a couple barely-modified machine guns onto some OP soldiers and called it a day.
If you were trying to make an actual mode that fits and belongs in a murder-mystery themed game, you have a hell of a lot of work to do on the roles and motivations.

Right, so i'm not going to be nice to you anymore. Here's the thing: just because you can't lol1v1 a role with your godly combat skills doesn't mean the role or the mode itself is bad. The roles themselves aren't supposed to be 1v1ed and rounds aren't supposed to be ruined by people like you who attack for the lowest reason. You are a complete dick, yes. I would've said that from the start if it wasn't for me trying to be nice. By names being visible, of course they're going to be visible at the end results, DUH. Nanaya and rabbit's doubt are killspree modes; i've seen people in rabbit's doubt killing above 1 and not getting punished -at all-, so Nanaya and Rabbit's doubt are the same, except that rabbit's doubt is good because it allows RP.
I changed the damage to the revolvers like long ago, I even updated it, so you're talking about the first time I put up the download link. Clearly, from that, I realized you're not talking about the right thing. I did not use zantus's modes as a defence either. In fact, talking about killing reasons for roles. Look at the normal mode killer. "kill 15 students to get away with it or they'll catch you and you go to jail xddd" does that make any sense at all? The police would clearly find out it was you. Same for death note, why does Kira have to kill everyone? Umineko, why did the witch start the game with the mediator? There's no reason in the role for it, after all.
Find another person to argue with, please. I'm wasting my time writing paragraphs for you. It's not my problem if you want to be able to fight and kill all the roles as a normal student with a normal weapon solo and ruin the round in the process.
Edit: by the way, the roles health which are similar to GI weren't intentional.

Also, as a matter of fact, I always use stairs trick when faced against more powerful opponents or more than one person and no one's hated me for it yet.

The roles themselves aren't supposed to be 1v1ed and rounds aren't supposed to be ruined by people like you who attack for the lowest reason.
I don't even kill people in rounds. Even as the killer, there's a good 95% chance I won't kill anyone. If you can't handle criticism and feedback on your mode, don't post it on the forum. I'm bringing up damage and instakills in the interest of game balance - It's an angle I generally share with Aquan. If there's no reason for the killer role(s) to be careful, there's no mystery, and considering people in this game instantly abuse any modicum of power they're given(See: Death Note) to try and mass murder, enabling them will just further reduce it to no RP involved. This is especially true when you explicitly encourage this supposed 'lowest reason' attacking. Your mode is designed for mass near-instant butchery because any of the roles can instagib whoever they want, and if it's another role, they've dropped them to half health and have a massive advantage.
By names being visible, of course they're going to be visible at the end results, DUH.
Also, I already fixed the names and tested them myself, and they weren't visible to the public.
? Why even bother contradicting yourself here?
Nanaya and rabbit's doubt are killspree modes; i've seen people in rabbit's doubt killing above 1 and not getting punished -at all-, so Nanaya and Rabbit's doubt are the same, except that rabbit's doubt is good because it allows RP.
Killing more than one person kills you at 5 A.M. in Rabbit's Doubt, unless you're the mastermind(killer) role. That's the entire premise of the round, no more, no less than one kill. It's a bad sign when you're criticizing and comparing without knowing the basic premise of the mode.
I changed the damage to the revolvers like long ago, I even updated it, so you're talking about the first time I put up the download link. Clearly, from that, I realized you're not talking about the right thing.
Actually, the damage to the revolvers was only reversed. Now the main two roles will drop someone to 31%(And kill with one use of assault slash) using DB, and the third role, now that it's even more incredibly overpowered, will instagib anyone and drop even other roles to half health in one shot with DB.
No, wait, I take that back. You somehow screwed the code up massively in regards to all that.
Lines 14 & 15 of clonestart.ms - 14. set_customattack(customrole1,150); 15. set_customdefense(50);
These are supposed to be modifying customrole2. Line 15 there locks up a server trying to load up the mode for a good few seconds, too. For the record, this is why I was advocating breaking up your code. You'd have probably noticed it if you'd split it up with spaces so each set of role modifications was self-contained in its own little grouping.
I did not use zantus's modes as a defence either.
Glitch also has overpowered roles, and so do most of zantus's modes.
Do I even need to say anything, here?
In fact, talking about killing reasons for roles. Look at the normal mode killer. "kill 15 students to get away with it or they'll catch you and you go to jail xddd" does that make any sense at all? The police would clearly find out it was you. Same for death note, why does Kira have to kill everyone? Umineko, why did the witch start the game with the mediator? There's no reason in the role for it, after all.
Normal mode's killer does have a chance of getting away. If there's no witnesses left, and the tapes and evidence are taken care of, nobody can prove they were stuck in the lockdown. It's flimsy, but due to the role not being overpowered, and assuming everyone else RPs not-awful, it ends up in a murder-mystery high-tension thriller situation. It's also not strictly enforced that the killer HAS to do that - It's a suggestion, with the role text not even saying you did it on purpose. In other words, it's a near-blank slate. As for Death Note? I've always said it was stupid. It's very well known that I think Death Note is stupid. I hate Death Note as a mode. Preaching to the choir, here. Umineko, it's obvious. The witch wants to play a game, they set up a game board, invited over a pal/love interest/rival/passerby to play. Granted, that's not super obvious if you've never read Umineko, but it's there.
If you want me to seriously get into the mode's roles and motivations, you've essentially fucked up Reisen's backstory super hard and misrepresented a ton of Touhou background lore to fit it into this idea. I have a hard time believing someone running away and seeking refuge would then immediately decide 'Oh yeah, I'm gonna slaughter these people with vastly superior military and weapon technology pointlessly, after I ran away due to being scared of death!'. No, they'd lay low. That's.. Kinda the point of running and hiding.
Find another person to argue with, please. I'm wasting my time writing paragraphs for you. It's not my problem if you want to be able to fight and kill all the roles as a normal student with a normal weapon solo and ruin the round in the process.
I'm sorry, your roles aren't anywhere near OP enough to stop me from killing them if I wanted to. Not by a longshot.
Now, even though you're totally not gonna waste time writing, you're gonna wast time reading, because I'm literally the only person trying to help you and offering feedback.
Why would anyone play this over, say, Government Intervention? Short of the thin flavor text, it fills the same niche. Super OP roles here to slaughter indiscriminately, only with even less avenues of RP open. It cuts out the (small) potential for angst, hesitation, doubt, you know, actual RP and characterization. I can't believe I'm saying positives about GI's design, but the way they have custom icons helps immensely, too. That way the normal students are wary and quick to band together in an 'us vs. them' way. Similarly, if people wanted a massive kill-fest by ultra-OP roles, Shrek mode exists. Even something like Reaper's Curse has equally unavoidable, if not even more unavoidable, death, yet has a ton of RP potential and fits the murder mystery scenario of the game.
What it needs is to fill a niche other than 'Oh, another OP massacre mode.' My suggestion would be to drastically tone down the roles - Still give them something of an edge, of course, but not to this ridiculous extent - as well as retool who the killer role is, and goals.
Make the Executioner the killer. It makes sense based on role name alone, and they have absolutely no reason to care about retaliation, because they're leaving and only there to nab the criminal, and maybe they're willing to do whatever it takes, maybe they've got that weird human-hating thing going(Which honestly makes no sense, Lunarians live eternally, the moon thing happened a scant 50 years ago, and moon rabbits are engineered soldiers that don't give a fuck and have no loyalty but whatever), maybe they're just sadistic. They've still got a concrete goal which the current killer doesn't have.
Imply that the current killer role, that would now be custom role 1, is weird as fuck. They're a moon rabbit, after all, and would basically be alien. They wouldn't be used to earth tech or the impurities of the earth, or any of that. It's pretty much their only choice for staying alive, now, so it's not like they can be too blase about it. Someone who just escaped a rabbithunt to bring them to justice probably wouldn't IMMEDIATELY go out of their way to become a criminal in their literal last-choice destination.
The third role, the already extant bunnicula, can remain mostly unchanged. They'd still be a complete wildcard. If the executioner runs into them and finds out they're an ancient criminal, maybe they can offer a pardon of their crimes, commuted under 'time served in exile among the impure', in exchange for help. Maybe the third role bunny would be willing to help if their friends are spared, or specific enemies are wiped out too. Maybe the third bunny will decide both other bunnies are dangerous and need to be eliminated, only with much less wanton murder. Maybe they'd side with the escaped rabbid, deciding to help acclimate their fellow to Earth. This role, really, is by far the best because even now it offers choice and freedom to the RPer - It's just that with everything being so front loaded as to make any conflict end instantly and blatantly encouraging careless mass murder by multiple OP roles, they'd never get a chance to take advantage of it.
I'm just trying to help, because it's clear you didn't think too much when making a fairly simple mode, and it has potential. You're free to ignore it, of course, but don't be surprised when the person you're ignoring ends up literally the only person who ever cared even a modicum about your utterly ignored and never played mode.

Right, i'm not defending my mode/myself anymore. Maybe if you hadn't insulted it like hell from the start i'd have listened to you and took your advice, honestly, but now it's just: "xddd your mode sucks so now change it to my liking because it will never be played otherwise" I really don't feel like listening to your advice at all due to how you started, so that's that. You also didn't get what I was trying to say most of the time, though I confess I didn't get what you meant with the names thing until now. I did read the Umineko visual novel (and watched the anime), yes, but the witch's role does not say all that, by the way. By the way, if you're going to answer, at least type it in pager so I/you don't have to wait hours for an answer. I'm sure the 'not killing' thing was utter bull, though.
Edit: Also, I might change the criminal Usagi's stuff -a bit-, meaning that they're only going to want to kill people until they find the executioner usagi, same for the executioner. The teacher was there and spotted the usagi when they landed in the courtyard, though, so they're still going to be the killer.

Jeeeesus Tana. The amount of bullshit you've spat in one place is painful. Might want to chill out. I may be a certified fuccboi, but people play Government Intervention. I know. How could they play such a mode? It seems a lot of people enjoy it, on certain occasions. Either way. This mode isn't like GI in the way of massacre every person in existence. I can see it being up to the role. The executioner doesn't HAVE to kill the humans, they just have a very strong hate for them. So don't piss off the executioner. The criminal might as well be the "Killer" from normal mode. Anyway. Just a bit of "COMMON SENSE". You might want to give it a try before you go setting off the douchebag alarm. And work on those issues. Kay? Good. Bai.
