HA!In post 4661, Prism wrote:At the end of the day there's a sliding scale for all 5 main candidates, where each of us represents a hypothetical godawful scumplan.
At the bottom is Titus. Titus didn't actually do anything stupid, but her team was a bunch of morons for trying to bus her Day 1.
I would have made a really bad unvote on Titus that cost the scumteam, and let Cakez get flipped when I was the one person in a position to force through something else.
MathBlade stupidly bussed Day 3 but at least he didn't do anything turbodumb Day 1.
BM AFK bussed all game, claimed miller as soon to be last scum, and somehow expected to win.
notscience replaced in and goes "NOW ALL Y'ALL WATCH THIS" and straight up javelin throws the game

i feel like if notscience is town, scum are quite happy to push there today and save me (a guaranteed mis-elim at some stage) for a later day. so the fact the biggest unknowns are pushing me instead, lends itself to notscience-scum.
seriously, taking a step back - with my claim being what it is, why would BM-scum even care about surviving 1 more day? wouldn't change anything if i was scum, but as town, I'd like to narrow the pool and try and contribute.Show2020 Stats - 31 completed games:

@BM- why does that not work in the inverse? I don’t ever make it to cylo this game. I don’t think scum need to kill me today.
The unknowns aren’t exclusively pushing you either. Math voted me then Titus. Titus voted you, yes, after saying she would vote me yesterday. I’m assuming she thinks she stands a better chance against me tomorrow instead of you (assuming in this instance you are town she is scum)
Prism doesn’t really give a shit who dies so I don’t count prism here
So like... I don’t really get what the point you’re trying to make here is. Like yeah, a Miller claim dooms you as scum in a longevity sense. But as prisms already stated scum is likely just fucking trolling anyways so it becomes which is the most plausible.ShowSTRIKE HARD

Red sky at night, Agents' delight? There isn't much delight here as the dimished group goes back and forth on who the next piece of statuary should be. Trailer circles, whining, but cannot interfere. The decision seems to come down to two distinguished older men. And then it's settled.
Daniel Dickinson is incensed. "Why am I even here? I never wanted anything to do with the Warehouses!" "You know there are multiple Warehouses?"
His look of fury changes into sly malice. "I've forgotten more about the Warehouses than you'll ever know. You think you can stop me? Better Agents than you have tried." He cackles at the threshold of the Bronzing machine. "Like this will stop me? Not for long!"
His rantings are cut off as the door closes. With the push of a button, he is rendered in Bronze, all but a single glint of silver tucked in his hand.
notscience, Paracelsus, aligned with Mafia,, in possession ofMafia Jack-Of-All-Trades, has been Bronzed!H.P. Lovecraft's Silver Key
In the shadows of dusk, the group seems to take a collective deep breath. "One more to go. Almost there."
They start to drift away from the Bronzing machine. But then, a quick scuffle of feet in the dust, and a cry of indignation. "You can't do this to me! I'm the senior Agent here! This wasn't the plan..." Myka Bering grapples with a shadowy figure, but is quickly overwhelmed by...Pete Lattimer? He shoves her into the Bronzing machine and slams the door. Before anyone can react, he pushes the button to Bronze someone who definitely isn't Myka.
As the door swings open to reveal a Bronzed man in a wheelchair, Pete just shrugs at the shocked crowd. "What? Don't tell me you never wanted to do that."
borkjerfkin, Walter Sykes, aligned with Mafia,, in possession of no Artifacts, has been Bronzed due to poison from Spiffeh!Mafia Multi-Artifact User
(to be clear, there was nothing in the game to keep borkjerfkin from dying at the end of Night 4, so I'm calling the game here rather than playing out Night 4; also, the Negative Effect of the Artifact Spiffeh used was to reveal him as the killer if his target was Bronzed by the poison, but his flavor wouldn't have been revealed if not for endgame taking place)
Eleven Bronze statues. Eight breathing Agents. And one dog. They wait, not sure what comes next. The invitation never specified.
And then the sky stops turning dark. It lightens, as though time itself is moving in reverse. The dusty plain fades into a sterile room with machines, medical equipment, and chairs scattered throughout. Ten Agents blink to find themselves restored to the present. Warehouse 15. Delhi, India.
"Welcome back. That's a wrap on this year's Deception Exercise." A short woman with a harried air and data pad looks up from her station. "If you hurry, those bottomless maws down in the conference room might not have finished all the refreshments yet. Unless you're feeling any ill effects from your VR time, feel free to head over there. You'll want something in your stomachs before you face the Regents' review panel." Techs around the room start powering down their stations and, moving in small groups, the newly awakened Agents leave the VR lab.
Until the next training exercise...or invitation.
The Town wins!

And that's a wrap! Sooner than expected, but somehow that's rather fitting given the show's ultimate fate.
Thanks to everyone for playing, especially those who were kind enough to replace in. Thank you also to the reviewers, cephrir and Syryana. Thanks to Cabd for back-up modding. And thanks to T-Bone for his quick response to issues that cropped up.
This was definitely interesting to watch as the mod with knowledge of the whole set-up. I wouldn't have thought to make the choices some players did (oh hi Prism giving away your starting Artifact Night 0) but they made the game interesting, and part of my point in designing this game was to see what people would do with the tools provided.
Having the groups working together was a primary goal here. That was a significant motivation in having a Night 0 for the Mafia to make decisions; it was intended to give them a chance to mesh before they were put on the defensive. Much like town/the playerbase had a chance to work together in handing out a one-shot power before eliminating anyone Day 1. The page count limit was intended to make replacements easier and keep the game from becoming unreadable. I did look at other Large Themes, both recent ones and ones from a few years past, to get a sense of how many posts were needed for a typical group Day 1 and then gave that plenty of padding. YMMV, but I believe that also ended up working out in town's favor.
The one-shot power roles pretty much worked as intended. I tried to keep in mind utility and balance depending on which faction received any given Artifact, but it was swingy. Negative effects were intended to be mostly minimal enough to not discourage the use of Artifacts entirely, and some could be used as advantages as well.
I'm sure folks have thoughts here, but I personally think Day 3 was where the game swung. If SirCakez had survived to detect/steal the poison from Spiffeh, that would have put another kill in Mafia hands and kept it from being used against them. His death cracked open the weirdness of Day 1 as well. A game where a townie was Bronzed then might have gone very differently.
Thanks again to everyone who made this game happen--it was in the works since 2014, so I'm glad I was able to run it. Posts with game info to follow, then I'll unlock the thread.- penguin_alien
