Not Voting (1): Apayah

With 10 players alive, it takes 6 to lynch.
Deadline is

April 23rd, 6PM GMT-4

suspended upon finding a replacement.

Prodding: MacavityLock (almost 3 days)
Replacing: Apayah (10 days without posting is too much and is outside the replacement range.

V/LA:

[Amished]

lukepukeduke replaces Apayah effective immediately.

I don't have the ability to edit anything out, nor do I have access to Konowa's role PM's (but I do know the roles). I've given him what I know.

Also, since I found a replacement so quickly, the deadline will not move by more than a day depending on luke's catching up speed (which I doubt would take long to get through 14 pages at this point.)

tl; dr version: lukepukeduke is in for Apayah, no change to the deadline is expected, but might have one extra day.

It was kinda almost a weekend. I'll check later tonight when I'm not busy for a prodding.

I've got a hankering for some spankering!

Checking for activity tonight since I saw a lot of people post on Sunday. Play nice, kiddies.

[Amished]

V/LA until Sunday night. Play nice, if a lynch happens send any/all night actions in to me and NO POSTING.

I will not tolerate vote shenanigans during this period. If you even separate a "vote: xxxx" without bolding; I will count it. THIS IS YOUR OFFICIAL WARNING.

Deadline for the Night will be approximately 80 hours from the lynch (giving 8 hours for a "day" where I normally couldn't check the thread to lock it and 72 for the typical night deadline)

Happy Birthday Neto

[Amished]

Netopalis has been lynched, he was a vanilla townie

MacavityLock, StrangerCoug and DiamondCrash, the Mafia, have won

Setup:
Mafia:
StrangerCoug - Bulletproof
MacavityLock - Encryptor
DiamondCrash - Goon

Town:
maxwellhouse, Ophanim, Apayah, xvart, Dizzle - Vanilla (Ended up being Netopalis and lukepukeduke instead of maxwell and Apayah, respectively)
Sidekick - Jailkeeper (Ythan)
Cyberbob - Even-night Vig
Chevre - Watcher
dramonic - Miller

(backup) Mod thoughts:
After losing a goon early, I thought it was going to be hard for the scumteam to come back. SCoug and Macavity dodged enough suspicion and allowed the town to basically crumble on itself even though they had prevented 3 scum NK's in a row. I have no idea how they made so many mislynches happen, the replacements I think helped them since luke didn't post much and was an easy mislynch candidate. Dizzle's misspeak helped, and I think Cyberbob's 2nd kill was not thought out well at all as if Ythan hadn't jailed correctly the game would've been over right then and there.

I initially hadn't thought about the vig killing the miller, but it made sense in hindsight. I think this part hurt the town, but the scum wasn't terribly powerful anyways. The ability to daytalk I think kept them sane and moving forward. This allowed them to see where each other (SC/ML) were going and to not make rash decisions in thread in a state of panic. I think that part helped ML much moreso, especially coming up with the Cop fake-claim.

Additionally: that was the ballsiest scum gambit that I think I've ever seen, from a players perspective or a modding one. That easily was about the biggest thing that made them win the game.

Finally: Neto had the scumteam in his sights for most of the game. I think his V/LA and lack of a case or something was the towns biggest downfall after becoming so far ahead with the jailing. I hate to pick on one player like this, but I think that was the hardest thing for me to watch after seeing everybody but Neto going in the wrong direction and seeing a jailkeeper (my favorite role ever) play so well/get so lucky. Suspicion eventually turned to him and by then the scum had control of the game; much like Cyberbob said in D4.

Finally finally: I'm calling the game with the lynch without knowing the exact PM wording. I'm going with my own variation that the mafia wins when they achieve 50%. I know Cyberbob and ML could technically kill each other and force a "draw" but that feels contrived to me since every scum PM I get/make has the 50% clause in it.

[Amished]

If the mafia wish to post their QT, they may do so at their discretion.

Sorry for the lull in the middle of the game there, I hadn't realized Konowa flaked...

[Amished]

Other thoughts (since I was one of the main minds behind designing the setup):

I thought the vig would have about as much influence as it did, the miller helped the scumteam a bit since it was a mislynch waiting to happen (or so I thought, like I said, I didn't think about having the vig shoot the miller in the night.) Either way, it was a pro-town kill on somebody that was confirmed not-scum. I figured the Jailkeeper would only prevent one kill one way or another, and once he was outed I did not expect him to live past that night (since the chance of jailing the killer exactly is pretty low)

No cop or doc (really) was pro-scum, one player immune from a pro-town role (like cop+godfather, but without the confirmed townies floating around) and the ability to keep from making mistakes through panicking I think was pro-scum as well. (Also, if anybody was wondering, ML's role allowed them to daytalk. Had he been lynched, that ability would've been gone).

Overall it was a game of flexibility for both sides; which turned out to be more complex than even I expected (bulletproof prevention could make scum wonder if it was a jail on scum, a jail on the vig, the vig hitting bulletproof, etc..

One thing I didn't account for was how much a miller was a magnet, really. I never once considered that they'd be vigged but it still makes sense. This is my first game modding with a miller in the setup, and it helped me with overall game knowledge, I feel.

Finally, I really hope you all enjoyed yourself: if anybody has any questions, comments, concerns or praise, I'd be glad to listen to it.
