That was kinda Chara's invention since the original design has a locked game thread. Chara said that would be an excessively long night

Oh I see that Chara posted that

Yeah locking the thread without a different role PM would have been arguably bad modding because threads aren't usually locked during twilight (although that is usually because the mod isn't available, which is why I kind of had a mental fumble with it)

Could you explain this? This is with the "if the Raven is your scumpartner, the raven may only elect to affirm you as the elimination" clause in mind?

The Forgotten was very powerful, but was the most powerful role in the setup and other PRs and weak investigative effects throughout the rest of the setup were also removed to make room for it. I'm not saying it's not still too strong but I hope everyone is cognizant of that. In an expected run of the setup, two different people are supposed to hold the role, which should usually mean it doesn't shelter a town leader for a whole game, but this game has a scum isaac getting caught one and then apollyon getting shot which was 1/72 unusual

I mean, you could also have two town leaders and it could bounce between them. Idk

It's challenging to make a setup like this

It's if scum blitzes a town Eve.

Similar stuff happens with Vengeful in 3 way, it's a big issue with that role but Eve took that issue and cranked it up a notch. Granted in a closed mini theme blitzing might not be the best idea to begin with, but I think autoloss for it is super possible and ridiculously brutal/infuriating.

It was incredibly unlikely that townies would cast votes in 5p eLo without massclaiming. I didn't play super close attention but my understanding is that you criers massclaimed in -7p-
