Thesp - Danny the Strongman
Save The Dragons - Johnny the Mayor
Klebian - Rasheed the Politician
Relyte - President of the Happy Friends Club
StallingChamp - Rob the Self-watcher

The Dead (6)
PlaysWithSquirrels - Tom the Watcher (Protown)
Maximus - Colin the Roleblocker (Mafia)
Willows_weep - Bethany the Lover (Mafia)
Cogito Ergo Sum - Maude the Tracker (SK)
Eon - Angry Stu the Bomb (Protown)
Zindaras (replacing IxnayontheHombre) - Jane the invisible woman (Mafia)

N1=pg 1
N2=pg 4
Endgame=pg13

Open Setup – everyone received the pm given below.

Cogito Ergo Sum

You are Maude. You are curious. You like to follow people at night. They don’t like it.
You don’t care.

Each night, you may select one person to follow, to determine who they are targeting.


PlayswithSquirrels

You are Tom. You look through peoples’ windows at night.
You often see interesting things.

Each night, you may select one person to watch, and I will tell you everyone who targeted them that night.


Maximus

You are Colin. You like trains. You could talk about trains for hours. You do talk about trains for hours.
Every night.

Each night, you may target one person to talk obsessively to about trains; you will bore them so much that they suffer amnesia, and don’t even recall the fact that they never did what they’d planned to do…


Eon

You are Angry Stu. You are angry. If anyone kills you, that’ll piss you off something awful.
Rarr!

If you are killed, the person to cause your death – the last voter or the person who made the nightchoice – will die too.


Kelly Chen

You are Zoe. You sense things from dead people. Dead people are so much easier.
Live people suck.

Each night, you figure out all the people who ever night-targeted the person who just got lynched.


Thesp

You are Danny. You never get colds. You are tough and strong because you always eat your greens!
Except cabbage. Yuk.

You have 2 lives – first time you die, you… won’t. Just one of those things.


Save the Dragons

You are Johnny. You are a pacifist. You like to stop fights. You are a very nice person.
Everyone likes you!

If someone gets half the votes (so is “lynched”) you can still pardon them (you have 48 hours to do so, which I guarantee twilight won’t last less than). You can do it max once per day, and you can’t pardon yourself. You can’t vote again in a day after pardoning someone and even if you pardon them, if they go on to get a two-thirds majority, they’ll still die.


Klebian

You are Rasheed. You can shout really loud. People listen to you once and then again to the echo!

You are a double-voter. Every vote you place counts double, whether you want it to or not.


Willows_weep

You are Bethany. You really like someone and know in your heart they are good. You just haven’t decided who yet.

On night 3 you will receive the name of a cast-iron guaranteed pro-town player.


Ixnayonthehombre

You are Jane. Nobody notices you. That makes you sad. The killers notice you though.
That makes you sad too.

You are immune to all non-NK nightchoices.


Relyte

You are Elwood. You like people. Each night you can make a friend.
Yay!

Each night you can recruit one player into the Happy Friends Club, and members of the Happy Friends Club can speak to each other at night (a masonry without alignment assurance).


StallingChamp

You are Rob. You are awesome! Each night you look at yourself.
Time well spent!

Each night you watch yourself and detect all people targeting you


Following
these role descriptors, people got one of the following alignment add-ons:
By-the-by, you’re lovely, and just want the nasty people to go away. You win with the town (pro-town; 8 people got this)

By-the-by, you’re quite wicked, along with X and Y. Each night, one of the three of you can kill someone instead of your usual nightchoice. You may speak with one another at night. You win when only mafia members remain. (mafia; 3 people got this)

By-the-by, you’re the Serial Killer. You may choose one person to kill each night (in addition to your usual nightchoice), and win when you are the last living townmember. You are dead quick and sneaky, so even if people are watching, they’ll only see your primary nightchoice action, not your nightkill. (Serial Killer; 1 person got this)

Finally, people got a tag at the end asking them to pm me a confirm or a nightchoice – these varied slightly on the basis of the order I sent them; not alignment.

Roles and Alignments were randomly distributed
separately
– all roles have equal chances of being the various alignments.

Rules


How to Play:

[1] Day lasts until one of the following happens: a player has a majority of votes, no lynch has a majority of votes, or a deadline comes.
[2] Voting is required to be in the format
vote: Seol
. Quoting votes is not voting.
[3] Once a player or no lynch hits a majority, it is Twilight. No amount of unvoting will make any difference. You may continue to talk until I lock the thread. Once I have locked the thread, you may not post.
[4] If deadline passes and more votes are made before I post, those votes will be counted. There will be no Twilight - the game will go straight to Night when I return.
[5] It is not necessary to unvote, unless you wish to be voting for nobody. You're welcome to do so if you choose.
[6] Once I have locked the thread, it is Night. At this point, if your role allows it, you may talk to people via PM. I will declare the deadline for night-choice submissions when I lock the thread. If you do not declare your night-choice, I will choose it for you. I make no guarantees that you would like my choice. Please submit night-choices.
[7] Day will restart as soon after deadline as I am available, or earlier if I have received all choices.

What Will Get You Modkilled:

[8] Do not quote anything relevant to the game from outside the thread. That includes PMs or parts of PMS from me, PMs from people you can talk to at night, or random observations third parties make in General Discussion.
[9]Do not talk about this game outside the game, unless your role permits. If your role permits, you may only talk when it is Night.
[10] Do not be mean. It's not nice. Be civil while killing each other, or I'll get cross.
[11] Do not edit your posts. At all.
However
, if you do something like doublepost or make a tags error in a post, you can appeal to me and I'll edit it with a note under to comment that I did. Fair play's no justification for hanging brackets :P
[12] If you're not going to be available for more than 48 hours, let me know. If you're not going to be available for more than a week, I reserve the right to find a replacement.
[13] Post regularly. I
will
be merciless with my prods.
[14] Once you're dead, you're dead. You are entitled to a simple "Bah!" or "Go town/scum!" post. That's it. Any violations will result in instant modkill... um, I mean blacklisting and much hating.
[15] In this game,
self-voting is suicide
. Vote for yourself and you will automatically be the day's lynch.

What Will Help This Run Smoothly:

[16] If you have any questions, ask me. If you PM me a question, I will PM you an answer. If you ask in-thread, I will answer in-thread. Depending on the question, I may not give an answer, but I
will
acknowledge the question (seriously, guys, feel free to ask pretty much anything, especially about interaction mechanics; this game's
meant
to be open on those issues).

Worth remembering
;
[17] I reserve the right to change these at any time 8)

You wake up to
day 1
and look around. You see a dead body, right there in front of you like nobody's business. Yuk!

Speaking of what is and isn't peoples' business... it's not... oop, it really is. The one who's been done in is the local peeping tom.

Playswithsquirrels (AKA Tom The Watcher) dies, night 1. He was good.


11 living means 6 to lynch. Play on!

Who blocks a tracker?? Especially when (if he's pro-town) we're not likely to have him for long?

it's interesting that either sk or mafia didn't kill, or of course, they targeted thesp...

Anyway, another interesting thing that it'd be hard to decide for a rb who to block, since there are only like 4 people he could've chosen from to block.

However, I won't vote right now (random or not) since mine counts as double...

It could be that they both went for the watcher, or that CES attempted a kill and wasn't able to.

A blocker could reasonably block anyone expect Ixnay. He's trying to stop nightkills, not useful actions like tracking, watching, and mason-recruiting.

Not the double-vote, but an attempted kill by the double-voter sure could.

A (pro-town) blocker isn't trying to block people's abilities. He's trying to stop nightkills.

Peeping tom's dead!

I'm with Kelly. What's up with blocking the tracker?

Vote: Ixnay
pretty much based on his role.

A note to the SK: please kill eon tonight so you guys can go 'splode together or whatever.

Yeah the problem with that role occurred to me. Without any kind of redirector, Eon is going to be unnk. If he's scum we will have to sacrifice somebody to lynch him. I guess we could have Thesp put the last vote on, but we don't know for sure that he still has two lives.

Listen dont worry about me Kelly, my role is definately good at this situation and you better believe at least i can be safe that Night is going to avoid me. I really hope you would believe in me =[ By the way...im lovely.

Vote: Ixnay pretty much based on his role.

Lucky me =] Well at least i will do something important.

Also no matter how scummy my role sounds, im not with bad side of town. If nobody believes me i suggest you to check me at night i have nothing to hide! [acts angry]
Also i'm thinking...if im on towns side mafia must have someone to eliminate me for example Danny. Darling can HAMMAH me and ressurect or try to kill me and ressurect. There is no possible way mafia could eliminate me without him, only with help of Danny. Soo i find it kind of weird...but anyway its very early to say for sure.

Also blocking watcher was really bad idea i guess today we could have some kind of info but nooo...

Also Jane has interesting role dont you think?

Correct. Role and alignment are entirely independant, and were allocated randomly. Every single role had the same chance of being pro-town (2/3) mafia (1/4) or SK (1/12) when the game started.

In case anyone's just
that
paranoid, I'll go through the procedure: list player names in column A of spreadsheet. put roles in C1-C12, put random numbers in B1-B12. Highlight B1-C12, press "A-Z" (sort ascending) button, move C1-C12 into column B. Roles are now allocated. Place alignment list in D1-D12, put new random numbers in C1-C12, sort ascending, move alignments into column C.
Trying to second-guess the mod here is entirely pointless; everything I decided, you all know.

A few comments

If you're SK checking you is pointless. Maybe you're the SK eh?
Also i'm thinking...if im on towns side mafia must have someone to eliminate me for example Danny. Darling can HAMMAH me and ressurect or try to kill me and ressurect.
You see a resurrector somewhere?
Also blocking watcher was really bad idea i guess today we could have some kind of info but nooo...
Good observation
Also Jane has interesting role dont you think?
Yes, but I'm not worried about it at all. With the watcher dead, it just means Jane can't be tracked, mason-recruited, or blocked. Without a watcher (almost as good as a doctor I'd say) how long are we even going to have a tracker and a blocker?


Another thing... My role is pretty unhelpful for finding scum. Nightkills aren't going to fail, and I only get info on lynchees. Unless we lynch someone that CES tracked with sinister intentions (???) I don't think I'll be learning much.


Mod
: If a nightkill fails due to the blocker, and then the intended target of the nightkill is lynched, does the psychic learn that the nightkiller tried to target this person?

Actually you don't have a role ability... Maybe you could actually be tracked if you're the SK.

You know i really didnt like that todays blocking thing. Important role was blocked, but this game has one interesting feature. Even that kind of role can end up being serial killer.

Well, that just turned out awkward. Cogito followed me while I roleblocked him. =/

It was pretty much between Cogito and Relyte because there was nobody else I could use my blocking ability on.

I didn't want to block PlaysWithSquirrels because his watching ability is more important than Cogito because of the degree of information he receives. Squirrels could target person X and if person Y (scum) and person Z (SK) targeted person X, then squirrels would get a result back saying "Person Y and person Z targeted person X". Day comes, and person X is dead, who is to blame? Voila! Anyone following this logic? If so, give me a l-o-g-i-c.

Cogito's role doesn't give us much information. For example, why in the world would he follow me? Just like he came out and asked why I blocked him, anyone can come out in the day and ask me the same question. Say tonight I block relyte, guess what's going to happen tomorrow? Relyte will come out and point out that I blocked the role.

I plan on blocking every single role BECAUSE one of them HAS to turn out to be either mafia or SK.

Who knows, Cogito could very well be either mafia or SK because we only had one death last night.


So, to turn the tables, Cogito, explain to me why we only had one night death last night.
