Everyone has five "powers". Scan, Scan Self, Slot-in, Snatch and Swap (individual Navi may have other powers as well). You can use SCAN, SNATCH and SWAP a total of three times each day in any combination, OR, you may use SCAN SELF. The powers can be used during day and night.

SCAN: Creates a battlechip for a weak power.
SCAN SELF: Creates a battlechip of your Navi.
SLOT-IN: Activates a battlechip. Remember to include a target if the chip needs one.
SNATCH: Try to steal a chip from someone else. Works about half the time.
SWAP: Give up one of your own chips to acquire one from someone else.

Example rolepost.

Normal Navi X

You're a Normal Navi. The non-customized thing that every average joe has. There's really nothing outstanding about you, but at least you're functional.

You win with the town.

Chips: Cannon (target someone to reduce the number of votes required to lynch him or her) Sword (Doublevote)
NaviChip: NorNaviX (Block someone from voting)


So the player who had Normal Navi X could use "SCAN" to get a Cannon chip or a sword chip up to three times, or SCAN SELF to get the Navichip.

SCAN and SCANSELF is done through PMs. There's no real syntax, so just tell me how many chips you want to make, and of which type. It isn't randomly decided which you get. If you have more than one chip to choose from then just PM me (I want two cannon and one sword chip) and you'll have them. You only get your own chips through scanning (the ones shown in your rolepm) and creating navichips costs three actions instead of just one. Chips last forever, but are lost when you are deleted. Swap and Snatch both work and cost actions even if your target has no chips. With snatch, you will get a notification that there were no chips to steal if you would have succeeded. If you swap, you lose your chip and get nothing in return.

SLOT-IN does not use any action. As long as you have a chip, you can slot-in. You can slot in multiple chips at a time too. Such as "SLOT IN Cannon Shotgun Sword. Target Kiradawea". And then I'd be hit with the effect of all three chips. Also, it should be noted that chips don't stack, unless specified otherwise.

SNATCH and SWAP uses an action of which you have three each day. You use those two actions to get powers you wouldn't have access to otherwise. For example getting a doctoring chip from the Navi capable of making those chips.

You can SCAN, SNATCH and SWAP anytime you want. However, no more than three times total each day.

So, if anyone uses daytime powers, we'll know. Not sure if anyone has enough knowledge of Megaman to definitely place powers. Though I suppose that's ultimately useless until we determine whether a certain sect of Megaman characters are Mafia or if it's not theme-related.

There's also the whole "getting another person's chip" and "randomly getting a weak version of someone's chip", which is how I interpret swap and scan. You'd have trouble definitively sorting out single power displays from that - you'd need repeated actions, or an ability to scan their specific Navi and get its battlechip (or even just the specs).

I just saw this. The way I read the rules you don't scan other Navi. You have your powers in your role PM, you scan or scanself to get a battlechip of those powers, you then slot in that battlechip to use the power. Snatch and Swap are the only abilities that let you take battlechips and you can only do that if someone has already used scan or scanself.

I might be wrong. Some full rules posted might be nice.
