Btw. why is that Devlin? It's hard to make an educated decision within 24 hours when you have to coordinate between time zones. Feels like speed Mafia and I don't like it.
I thought about doing 48-hour days and nights, but I'm going on vacation for a week next Friday, and assumed (correctly, as it turns out) that I'd have to postpone the game for the holiday/my trip or prematurely end it because it would have gone on too long. So then I was going to do 24-hour days and nights, but I don't remember why my mind was changed on that one. I think I settled on 48-hour nights and 24-hour days because it always seems like a lot of the talking and planning goes on at "night" to plan for the lynches (or at least that's how it seemed in all the alliances I was in in prior games). On top of that, I figured voting would be similar to how it went in Roy's game where it essentially ceased almost a day early, and we just waited around to see what happened. I wanted to avoid that, especially as it is apparent that a lot of players have just lost interest or been preoccupied with other things. Plus I suppose thematically the crew is making hasty decisions in a time of chaos and paranoia.

seems like Seductress was jailed. Security officer, please report to Vrael who you jailed, so we know who to lynch. And hurry, we only have 24 hour days...
Btw. why is that Devlin? It's hard to make an educated decision within 24 hours when you have to coordinate between time zones. Feels like speed Mafia and I don't like it.
Yeah, I complained about the short voting cycles when the game started; it makes more sense to have the day longer than the night because of voting discussions.
I first read the night post to mean the Seductress wasn't jailed, but looking back:
Some of the familiar faces around the place weren't there that night. That was suspicious. I was hoping to see some eye candy, but I guess she was... occupied. [Laughing]
That does seem to be written ambiguously; I'm guessing Devlin was just trying to throw the Cylons a bone by not outright saying the Seductress was jailed.
Anyway, TiKels and Bio are the last two Cylons. Bio was jailed last night, making him the Seductress. TiKels was "confirmed" to be innocent on Night 3 because we jailed him based on his behavior, but the Hitman still killed someone and the Seductress still seduced someone on that night.
TiKels was "cleared" despite my suspicions, which is why I stopped pushing for his lynch. However, I've found it odd that nobody came forward as being seduced, so I confirmed it with DevliN: seduced victims don't get a notification PM. This means anyone "cleared" by the Security Officer may not actually be cleared at all, since a seduction on the Security Officer would prevent the jail from happening. I went back to the night TiKels was supposedly jailed. It reads as follows:
So there he was staring at someone else in the common room when that woman came up and started flirting. Actually flirting is putting it lightly. This was more like a welcomed sexual assault. [Laughing]
Note that on that night, there was no mention of someone getting jailed. "Staring at someone else" sounds like the seduced person had a night target, meaning they were either the Doctor, Vigilante, or Security Officer. Since Demon used Paranoia on this night, I think we can rule out Vigilante. I think based on the wording it is very likely that it was in fact the Security Officer who was seduced, meaning if TiKels were the Hitman his night action would have gone through. The Cylons didn't seem to know that they targeted the Security Officer, though, as they seem to be pairing up their Seductress and Hitman target for some reason in these recent cycles.
Fits like hand in glove. So we have:
Hitman:
TiKelsSeductress:
BiOAtKMole:
Fire_KameTraitor:
AristocratGame, set, match?
I vote TiKels.
Note: This is the order of night actions (not necessarily reflected in game posts):
- Vigilantes rig bombs for paranoia, if applicable.
- Security Officers imprison.
- Seductresses seduce/influence, Moles clear/frame.
- Doctors protect, Scientists investigate, Crewmembers dodge, Bulletproofs save. Quorum Members vote, if applicable.
- Hitmen stalk, Vigilantes stalk.
- Day.
It looks like Security Officers imprison before seduction. Does imprison go through even if the Security Officer uses imprison on a third party, even if he/she was seduced?
Anyways, I vote
TiKels.
Win by luck, lose by skill.

In terms of the Imprison/Seduction thing, I suppose I should have put them on the same line.
- The Security Officer can prevent a Seduce/Influence action if he or she targets the Seductress and the Seductress is not targeting the Security Officer.
- The Seductress can Seduce/Influence the Security Officer if the Officer is not targeting the Seductress.
- If the Security Officer and Seductress target each other, then the Security Officer's action takes precedent.

I don't believe so; the priority list has traditionally been used to confirm what happens when two or more conflicting actions occur. I'm pretty sure it's ordered like that to show that the Security Officer's ability will always beat the Seductress', so in the event that:
1) Security Officer jails Seductress
2) Seductress seduces Security Officer
3) Vigilante/Doctor/etc. targets Seductress
The Seductress will not be targeted by the third person because s/he is jailed.
Edit: Ah, Devlin answered it.

Clues
For the most part there were no real obvious clues in this game. I eventually added some vague ones here and there, but my intention was to leave it relatively clueless so you rely on the Scientist or behavior.
That said, here are the intended clues:
Night 1- The Cylon part of the evening was erased. This is the only time this happens in the game, because this is the night that Roy, one of the Traitors, was discovered.
Night 2- The "TC" is timecode. It reads as hours:minutes:seconds;frames. Nothing significant about it.
- The bit about lil-Inferno's report being removed from his dead body was supposed to imply that his killer, Aristocrat, was the person on the report and the report showed something he wouldn't want the crew to see: he's a Cylon.
Day 2- The "I didn't know what it meant at the time, but now it makes sense" was supposed to subtly imply that Aristocrat was smirking because he was a Cylon.
Night 3- The "too much to drink" concept could be loosely attributed to Stacy Keibler for all his wonderful drunken visits to SEN.
- The "sexual assault" bit could be attributed to BiOAtK's name, if you assume a sexual assault was an... attack... of some sort. Oh so witty.
- Observer12425's death was probably poison or some other biological agent. One could say he was attacked biologically, or a bio attack, if you will.
Night 4- Stacy Keibler is "hot".
Day 4- The guy smirking at OlimarandLouie was meant to imply that someone who voted for him was a Cylon, specifically Zycorax.
Night 5- The report is just meant to show that payne, Observer12425, and LoTu)S were all killed by the same person, implying the Cylons only have 1 Hitman. Also, no visible wounds so perhaps it was a bio attack.
- "They'll never see it coming" in the Cylon portion is related to Roy being a Traitor.
Day 5- The "minute late" part relates to the game sign-ups. Stacy Keibler signed up for the game at 12:27 PST and Zycorax signed up at 12:28 PST, a minute later. Of course the same could be said for Dem0n, OlimarandLouie, and payne, but by this time Dem0n was the only one alive of the three.
- The "authority" line can be attributed to moderation on SEN, implying Roy, Zycorax, and at one point in time, Stacy Keibler.
Night 6- I edited the post 15 times. 15 is Roy's player number in the game.
General Notes
I figured I'd field a few questions before they come up.
On Night 1, Roy was "unlocked" if you will despite being protected by NudeRaider. I designed this game's Traitor role to unlock any time the player gets targeted by a Cylon (the exception being an impossible visit if the target is imprisoned).
I only gave the Imprison PM to Aristocrat because his role specifically requires night results. There was a comment made via PM about Stacy Keibler not getting one, but the Cylon Hitman role doesn't have the same Stalk power.
Despite what it may seem, the role distribution really was random and I lucked out giving Aristocrat and Dem0n the Vigilante roles (lucked out in terms of conflict). I already knew one of them would be a Traitor, but I planned on having two ultimately given the low starting Cylon count. That number happened to be Roy.

And Nude
So wait, was Aristocrat a Cylon? We never framed him or anything. I'm surprised I missed the 15 edits on N6. I didn't really pick up any of the clues from N1 and N2, but I got one from N3, N4, D4, and assumed N5's "never see it coming" was referring to our verified town hub rather than me.
Sorry for all the lying, guys.
Apparently Nude was planning on getting Demon to kill me at one point.
Demon was the only potential hub that wasn't a Cylon. That series of coincidences that "verified" Stacy really put the Cylons at a significant advantage.
Good game!
Seems like a good game, except for one point: A Mafia game isn't supposed to end until only one team is capable of achieving victory.
A Doctor, Vigilante, and Security Officer could have easily won against a Hitman and Seductress (who were the only two Mafia roles capable of doing anything at night at this point).
The Vigilante could have killed the Hitman, Seductress is locked up by the Security Officer (which seemed like an extremely likely outcome since that's already who he was imprisoning previously), and the Doctor protects the Hitman's target. The next day, it's 3-to-3, and BioAtk hadn't been voting, which gave a potential win for the Town.
Speaking of which, the Cylons didn't even meet their own victory condition:
The Cylons win when their current votes outnumber the Crewmembers' max vote capability on any given day.
The Cylons current votes totaled 3. The Crewmembers' max vote capability totaled 4. 3 definitely doesn't outnumber 4.
The purpose of this is to take AFK Mafia into account in determining a potential Town victory (which, in this case, it would have).
That being said, aside from the victory being premature, it looks like the game was being largely controlled by the Mafia. I'd have been interested to see if the Town could have pulled together and figured it out in order to save themselves when it came down to the wire. I really think these games get a lot more interesting when it's clear the game is on the line; the more "guilty" people that die without the game ending, the more suspiciously the Town is forced to look at the people they trust.

The Cylons current votes totaled 3. The Crewmembers' max vote capability totaled 4. 3 definitely doesn't outnumber 4.
We were four pretty much all the way. Bio was active, but never voted for some reason.
That's irrelevant. There's no way to say "well Bio could have voted if he wanted to but he didn't even though it was required to win." The fact that the Mafia weren't keeping good enough track of the voting numbers to know all their votes were required to win is their own fault.
The Cylon victory condition was:
The Cylons win when their current votes outnumber the Crewmembers' max vote capability on any given day.
This never happened at any time.
If your entire team couldn't be bothered to vote in order to meet the victory condition, then they shouldn't have won.
The single victory condition was laid out pretty simply. There should have been one more full cycle.
Ah well, a victory is a victory ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Vigilante could have killed the Hitman, Seductress is locked up by the Security Officer (which seemed like an extremely likely outcome since that's already who he was imprisoning previously), and the Doctor protects the Hitman's target. The next day, it's 3-to-3, and BioAtk hadn't been voting, which gave a potential win for the Town.
BiOAtK didn't vote as part of the Day strategy (we were talking about this via PM; Devlin's been included in the list of recipients for all our PM discussions). Bio was active at the time. Besides, the Hitman would have hit the Doctor, and the Seductress would have influenced the Security Officer to the Vigilante, so the Doctor could not have been protected. It was a solved game and we met the victory condition implicitly, so Devlin ended it.
I wouldn't have complained with another cycle (we already organized the plan), but I'm fine with it ending on this one.

Well sure, since it changes the Town's non-zero chance of winning to zero
Post has been edited 2 time(s), last time on Dec 14 2012, 3:12 pm by Azrael.
So I was right in interpreting the comment that Vrael was legit as being false correctly, I just made the wrong implications from it.
Has anyone else noticed that in every game (save the first I played) when I act fishy I'm actually a townie?
Maybe you should remember that next time we play.
GG. Would play again.
I was planning on imprisoning Vrael the next night, since I was starting to suspect him. Next time I ought to be more skeptical about who's clear.
