Had you done more than you did to reference the ongoing game, I would definitely have pulled some strings and gotten the game canceled with a draw.
I usually don't take the whole "getting lynched" thing too well.
Also, I really hope I don't have to change my catchphrase from "Never Scum" to "Never Scum Except In Invitational Games". I mean seriously what.

Some other notes while we're waiting...
Now that you know the alignments of both parties involved, please don't ever start the game like
this.
Everybody was kind enough to pretend this never happened, but all it did was needlessly annoy me and make the person in question look scummy.
Overall I think this setup favors Town, although this may be me coming from a scum standpoint. The scum -have- to kill Masons to avoid being boxed in by confirmed Townies at LyLo. What this means is that V. Townies who happen to be strong players or very Town-looking can most certainly survive to LyLo and the endgame, and there's not a thing scum can do about it - keeping someone in the game who is very unlikely to be scum is still better than keeping someone in the game who is impossible to be scum. The exception is if you-scum expect to crossvote with someone in 3P LyLo anyway. That's why Town-hunting actually makes this setup EASIER for Town as it goes on. Inversely, it's Town's game to lose by not looking Town enough.
Optimal play for Masons may be to simply coast, rather than leading the Town and making themselves good NKs by standard logic in addition to being required targets. Optimal play for V. Townies is probably to play a fairly quick game - "less chat, more splat" - at least until the Masons are compromised.
With that said, the kills and lynches in this game were pretty much all deserved when they came. charlatan was trying to be edgy and flopped spectacularly. xRx needs no mention. SerialClergyman gave up and
asked
to be lynched, and really was the only option available. DDD had a lot of positive things going for him, but drew undue suspicion onto himself by making it sound like it was all planned (even if it was, it sounded like scum crafting an alibi).
We thought Amished was a Mason for sure, and he was definitely one of the most pro-Town people D1. We were able to deduce the Masons with reasonable accuracy on N2 and definitely called them on N3; I'm not sure if I want to talk about how we found them out.
I feel like I'm lecturing and the game's not technically over besides, so I think that's all. Hopefully the mod will show up at his deadline.
Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.
