Sunlight gleams off the jewels in
Lucretia's Comb
as the group decides who is best entrusted with the ornament. Someone with a flare for pyrotechnics, perhaps?

A decision made, Trailer drops the comb in front of Lady Lambdadelta. With it concealed in her bag, the remaining people must consider it out of sight, out of mind. Its powers for for her and her alone to know.

All of this still leaves the matter of the Bronzings to resolve. In the absence of a confession, the gathered attendees must begin tracking down the culprits themselves. Perhaps if they put people in the Bronzer? Marcus Diamond couldn't have been walking around with his own face without leaving a trail of angry people behind him. Without the ability to unBronze, it is a rather...final...method of deducing who is being less than honest with the others, but it very well may prove to be effective. Worth a try!

With the sun past its zenith, voices raise with accusations once more. But this time? There will be
blood
metal.

A placeholder post from Cabd was deleted by the mod because it was < 20 posts after the most recent vote count, in case anyone noticed the resulting discrepancy.

In post 3497, Battle Mage wrote:Mod - can you please confirm if it is mechanically possible for artifacts to be transferred outside of the night phase/morning vote mechanic?
The rules contained in the first post of the game are all we will comment on this matter:

In post 1, penguin_alien wrote:
Game-Specific Rules and Information

1) There is only one anti-town faction in play for this game (Mafia). There are four Mafia-aligned players.
2) This game uses a Night phase and a Day phase. The Day phase is split up into two sections: Morning and Afternoon. Morning will have a 48 hour deadline and Afternoon will have a 192 hour (eight day) deadline. Night will be 48 hours.
3) There will be a Night 0 in this game. It will last 48 hours. No factional kill will be available to the Mafia team for this Night phase only.
4) A significant mechanic in this game is the distribution of Artifacts. The abilities they grant are all one-shot and work by the following rules:
Each Artifact has a flavor name taken from the source material, an action (Power) it provides, and a Negative Effect that will activate upon use. Before distribution, the default state of information on all Artifacts is flavor name only. Upon receipt, the recipient(s) will be told its Power and its Negative Effect. At this point a general Power description will also be attached to the flavor name for ease of comprehension, but the description of the Power is the final authority on how it works mechanically. All Powers in the game are non-refundable.

Upon receipt, a player may choose to interact with one Artifact in their possession per game phase. They may either use it or transfer the selected Artifact to another player rather than using it. This counts as the player's Artifact interaction for the night. Transfers may only be performed during the Night phase. If transferred, the recipient will be informed of the Artifact's Power and Negative Effect. They may also use any non-Artifact actions they have from their role, including the factional kill if Mafia. There is a limit of one non-factional kill role action used per player per phase.

Two Artifacts are presented to the Mafia at the start of the Night phase. They pick one to keep by the end of the Night phase (along with a recipient for it, among their faction or elsewhere) and one that will go to the game thread at the start of the Morning, where the living players will vote on the recipient of that Artifact decided by plurality. The Morning will end if a majority vote is reached for the Artifact recipient.

Other Artifact distribution mechanics may be in play throughout the game. A set number of Artifacts were designed prior to game start. If the Warehouse is unable to distribute enough Artifacts during the game for a given phase at any point, a priority list has been designated by the mod for the distribution of remaining Artifacts. Once there are no more Artifacts to distribute, no new ones will be generated and the game will continue without that mechanic in play

5) Elimination in this game will be referred to as Bronzing by the mods and for the purposes of all role- and Artifact-related information. Bronzing is decided by majority vote, defined as (50% + 1) rounded down of living players.
6) There may be mechanics that change the number of votes required to Bronze; these will always be known to the affected players.
7) The page count limit for each Day phase will be equal to 5 x # of living players (mod posts subtracted from the count). After that point, each living player may make a single post that must contain a vote for the remainder of the Day phase. Posting beyond that will result in a mod kill (Canceled by SyFy). This count includes Morning and Afternoon phases combined.
8) Vote counts are intended to be posted at least every 24 hours, more frequently as judged necessary by the mods. Requests for vote counts made in the game thread will not be honored; please PM the mod or post in a factional PT if requesting a vote count.
9) Please note the win conditions specified in the sample Role PMs. They may be slightly different from what is normally seen.
10) If you've actually read all this so far, you now know that the Role PM confirmation phrase is 'Endless Wonder' because I'm corny that way.
11) Day talk will be enabled.
12) In the event abilities used by a Town player and a Mafia player 'clash,' the Mafia player's action will take priority.
13) All flips will be Character Name, aligned with {Town, Mafia}, Town/Mafia [role name], in possession of (Artifact inventory with flavor names only listed) has been Bronzed.

I want to state that the mod household felt this was about 55-45 balanced in favor of scum.

Subscores:

Penguin-human: 60-40 Scum-Town
Cabd-human: 50-50 Scum-Town
Sproglet-human: "Oh look a shiny thing, let me chew on it"
Percy-cat: Feigned indifference
Selene-cat: Real indifference
