It was a Vig. Scum would not try to kill the SK. He would know that there is a high probability Lyner would get lynched today...taking the heat off him and letting him live another day. Since everyone else has role claimed and I am not a Vig and kilgor doesnt seem to know, I am guessing it was Muted Faith.

It was either MutedFaith, or, EM may have had a hidden ability that kills his killer if he gets night killed, which got negated by Lyners night kill immunity. It would not be unheard of for such an ability to exist. 

 

Lets just kill Lyner and be done with it.

Also in case there was any doubt left, I touched Commander Shepard last night knowing that the Serial killer would be among those who interacted with him. The result I received was Helix and Lyner, Shepard killed Helix as I already knew from touching Helix, which means that Lyner is the SK.

 

So lets take this win to the bank.

Lyner: 3 (Chaplin of death, killgor, Imran)

 

 

Chaplin of death tied a noose around Anita’s neck, killgor strung the noose over the rafters and Imran kicked the chair out from under Anita. Anita struggled for a moment before going limp, a knife falling from his hand. Wait his hand? John searches Anita and finds an essay, along with a rejection letter.

 

Lyner - Anita, aka Nicholas Barton –serial killer – third party – Each night you must select one player to kill. You are bulletproof and scan as town. (If you target the psychiatrist you will be converted to a vanilla town member instead of killing her) – You win when all other scum is dead and there are no town members left. (And Rebecca is dead)

Chaplin of death and Imran were celebrating when killgor and MutedFaith stepped up behind them guns drawn. they each fired 2 shots to the back of there heads.

 

Chaplin of death - John Smith – Psychic – Town - Each night you can touch a player and get a vision of what there last action was. (If you touch a dead body you get a vision showing all the players that person interacted with.  The list of players will be in a random order. After JJ dies you will have a scripted event for your next night action in which you touch his dead body, if he was lynched you will learn the role of the player that hammered him, if he was killed then it will be the same as any other dead body. This also
unlocks the ability to touch other dead bodies in the future)

 

per usual text in () was hidden from the player, however once JJ was killed this information was revealed.

 

Imran - Deputy Roscoe – backup cop – Town – when the cop dies you take over there ability.

 

MF turned to killgor. "i told you i would bring you to the top" killgor stopped smiling then. "i am not the puppet you think i am". with that killgor shot MF.

 

MF - Malcolm Janus –Bus Driver, Usurper – Mafia - You are a major power broker. Your reach extends so far as to manipulate the outcome of events. Each night you may select 2 players, any actions performed on a selected player will occur to the other selected player instead. - You win when you have majority, any 3rd party players area dead and the Godfather is dead.

 

killgor:
 

Greg Stillson - -Godfather – Mafia – Each night you may send a member of your mafia out to kill someone. You scan as town aligned and are bullet proof. – You win when you have
majority and all 3rd party players area dead.

Name – Role –
alignment - ability – description – win condition



John Smith –
Psychic – Town - Each night you can touch a player and get a vision of what
there last action was. (If you touch a dead body you get a vision showing all
the players that person interacted with. 
The list of players will be in a random order. After JJ dies you will
have a scripted event for your next night action in which you touch his dead
body, if he was lynched you will learn the role of the player that hammered
him, if he was killed then it will be the same as any other dead body. This also
unlocks the ability to touch other dead bodies in the future) - A retired
school teacher who, as a result of a car accident, has developed psychic abilities. An encounter with a
carnival trickster in the first episode (before the car accident) makes it
clear Johnny already has some psychic abilities. However, after the coma, their
nature changes from intuition
to visions, the latter requiring urgent action, even when personally
inconvenient, whereas earlier Johnny only uses his ability on a carnival
trickster to amuse his fiancée Sarah. Whenever he undergoes one of his visions,
Johnny has shown to be capable of manipulating the time localized around the
vision, allowing him to stop, slow, reverse, or forward the time relative to
himself within the vision, leaving him as the only one aware of his temporal
alterations within it and thus allowing him to further examine the details from
the past, future, and occasionally the present. – You win when all non town
players are dead.



 



Sarah
Bannerman – Mother – Town – You cannot be lynched. -  Johnny's former fiancée, and the mother of his
son, J.J. Sarah married Walt Bannerman during Johnny's coma, and the two raised
J.J. together. Sarah knew Johnny when they were children, and later taught at
the same school as him.  - You win when
all non town players are dead.



Sheriff Walt
Bannerman – Sheriff – Town – Each night you may pick 1 player to scan, you will
be told that players alignment. If you are killed at night you will shoot at
your killer
(this ability will not be inherited by the backup cop) - The
relationship between Johnny and Walt is initially very rocky, as Johnny often
feels that Walt stole Sarah from him. However, since then as Johnny displays
his powers more and more often in law enforcement situations, Johnny becomes an
asset to Walt, and the two become friends. - You win when all non town players
are dead.



Bruce Lewis
– Sidekick – Town – You are the ultimate sidekick and can do a little bit of
everything. You have 1 shot uses of the following abilities: scan for
alignment, protect, role block, kill, track and watch. You may use 2 abilities
the same night but you will be unable to use any ability the following night
should you do so. - A physiotherapist who helps Johnny regain his strength
after his coma. Bruce is an open-minded spiritual junkie as a result of a
religious upbringing by his pastor father. He is Johnny's best friend and frequently his voice of reason.
- You win when all non town players are dead.



Reverend
Eugene ‘Gene’ Purdy – Reverend – Town (miller) – You are a respected leader in
the community, as such you have enough sway to stop 1 lynch, except against
yourself.  As a man of God you cannot
cast the final lynch vote. You are a strong motivational speaker, once during
the game you may select a player during the night phase. That player will be
given a second night action the following night. - Another original character
in the series, a religious leader and head of a prestigious university and
foundations funded by Vera Smith, Johnny's mother. Johnny always speculated
that Purdy's interest in Vera was for financial gain; however, his powers
allowed him to discover that Purdy had been in love with Vera for more than 35
years. Upon Vera's suicide over the grief of the loss of her
son, Purdy covered up the incident and made everyone believe she died of a heart attack, thus preserving her dignity in the
public eye. Purdy has long been involved with somewhat shady dealings, but is
always in the constant service of God.
His devotion sometimes clouds his judgment, and he has even gone as far as to
cover up a murder to protect better interests. - You win when all non town
players are dead.



JJ Bannerman
– Beloved Child – Town – If you are killed lynched the following day
phase is skipped. (If Walt is killed at night you will receive a bad feeling
about him that night. This will trigger your visions and each following night
you will be able to select 1 player to touch. You will see a randomized action
that player has performed or had performed on them.) - You win when all non
town players are dead.



Dr. Janet
Gibson – Doctor – Town – Each night you may select a player, that player will
be protected from death that night. You may not select the same player
consecutive nights.  – You are one of the
Doctors who have examined Johnny after he got his powers. - You win when all
non town players are dead.



Dr. Tran –
Backup Doctor - Town – when the doctor dies you take over there ability – You
are one of the Doctors who have examined Johnny after he got his powers. - You
win when all non town players are dead.



Rebecca
Caldwell – child psychiatrist – Town – Each night you may select
one player for a therapy session, if the selected player is a serial killer the
session will work and they will be converted to a vanilla town member. - You
win when all non town players are dead.



Alex
Sinclair – psychic to the dead – Town – Each night you may select a dead player
to communicate with. They will tell you what night actions they have performed.
- A female psychic who discovered her "dead zone" when she was stung
by a swarm of bees (presumably "
killer bees") as a child and became
hyper-allergic to bee stings and products. Alex first appears in the fourth
season episode "Double Vision" where she and Johnny track down a
sniper together. At the end of the episode, it's clear that she and Johnny have
developed feelings for each other, but she decides that she's not ready to
pursue the relationship. Alex does later appear in the fourth season
Christmas episode "A Very Dead Zone
Christmas" where the idea of her and Johnny getting together is further
explored. - You win when all non town players are dead.



Sheriff Anna
Turner – Jailor – Town – Each night you may arrest someone and make them spend
the night in jail. They will not be able to perform a night action or be killed
that night. The targeted player will be informed they have been jailed. You may
not select yourself and you may not select the same player consecutive nights -
The "sheriff pro tem" of Penobscot County, Anna investigated
the final unofficial case of the recently-deceased Sheriff Walt Bannerman. -
You win when all non town players are dead.



Deputy
Roscoe – backup cop – Town – when the cop dies you take over there ability. - A
deputy who works for Walt. Roscoe is usually first on the scene and very
dependable. - You win when all non town players are dead.



Dana Bright –
reporter – Town – each night you may pick a player to stake out looking for a
story. You will learn who visited them that night. - A journalist for the Bangor Daily News. Dana covered much of Johnny's early
work, and later became romantically linked with him; she was also in a
relationship with Gene Purdy. She left the show for some time, and her absence
was not explained until the season 5 episode "Articles of Faith."
Because of her coverage of Johnny, Dana was able to move on up to reporting for
a Boston television station, choosing her
career ambitions above her increasingly complex relationship with Johnny. At
the end of that episode when she leaves, it is shown that both harbor, to some
degree, feelings for each other. - You win when all non town players are dead.

some key notes:

 

scum board http://w11.zetaboards.com/Stillson_campagn/index/

 

to Lyner: EM did not break your scan protection, you got unlucky when MF bused you and d3mon. you almost got away with it since that happened the same night JJ died meaning there was a second chance for EM to be killed before he got a chance to talk. you also were hurt by the limited attempt to usurp by MF.

 

MF: you got hurt bad when you bussed Ogaden with Commander Shepard since Lyner tried to kill Ogaden that night. to make matters worse Shepard was the strong man and your best bet for usurping killgor/Shadow. all you had to do was wait until Shepard was sent to make a kill using his unstoppable power and then tell the rest of the mafia you were busing whatever but actually bus there intended target and killgor/Shadow

 

town: you guys got unlucky with the doc being killed night 1 and the therapist being killed night 2. not to mention Mango being killed night 1 and never getting to use his motivate power. you guys also were hurt by MF being very subtle in his attempt to usurp. he called out/voted Shadow at one point but it never picked up steam. also Walt was killed very late in the game, after JJ was already dead. this meant that JJ was never able to unlock his ability.

 

 

MVP: EM in his second role as Sheriff Walt Bannerman. he took over before night 2 knowing only that Zacch had tried to scan Iron Helix night 1, and that he had been unable to find him. this was because Iron Helix was jailed night 1. he proceeded to scan d3mon night 3 and changed from Shadow(who would have scanned as town and totally changed the outcome of the game) to Lyner no night 4. this almost cleared Lyner since he scanned town but he had been bussed with d3mon. then he investigated MF night 5 but was killed before he could revile his scan.

We're actually really lucky we won, if Odagen was online and voted KevinH on the last day of Day 2, I'm pretty sure it was straight downhill from there for the mafia.

Town could never have won by lynching alone with the way it had played out.  Town had to win the 'night' game too.  There were 16 players to start, 5 mafia, 1 sk, 10 town.  Town was facing a 6:10 ratio from the start. Day 2 that became a 6:8 ratio.

 

If kevin had been lynched day 2, then day 3 (assuming the same people had been NK'ed) would have looked like this:

 

Scum:

1 MF
2 Commander Shepard
3 d3mon
4 Shadow
 
5 Lyner
 
Town:
6 Iron Helix
7 Imran
8 Chaplain of death
9 Zacch Electric Mango
10 iSocialism
11 Ogaden

 

Day 3 would have been a 5:6 ratio. Meaning on day 3, town would have required 100% of town and the SK to lynch mafia (if mafia didn't bus). MF was the best option to bus the rest of the mafia, which he did on the real day 3 when Kevin was actually lynched, so if MF had continued to bus, it might have been ok for the time being. Then again it might have been MF that was lynched on the hypothetical day 3.  

 

Also, day 4 never came because of my negative utility role.  Lyner, who targeted town exclusively, only killed Shepard by accident, meaning if Shepard or MF had been lynched, that might not have happened. 

 

Day 5 might have been something like this (I assume d3mon gets killed by SK instead of Shepard -- best possible town scenario with town not winning night actions):

 

Scum:

1 MF
4 Shadow
 
5 Lyner
 
Town:
7 Imran
8 Chaplain of death

That is a 3:3 ratio. 
 
The next day (day 6) would have been 1 sk, 1 mafia and 2 town at best, but then again it might have been 1 sk, 1 mafia, and 1 town. Either way, lynching the last mafia would have meant a SK victory. Lynching the SK would have meant a mafia victory. Again, either way town loses. Meaning town could have known exactly who all the scum were on day 5, but would still have lost because all of town's chances at winning the 'night' game had died with Ogaden and iSoc (town's last chances were with Ogadens 1 shot vig or with iSoc' jailing ability). On day 2, town had to not only get 100% correct lynches, but had to lynch or lose, and had to additionally win at least some of the 'night' game enough to kill mafia or stop a kill from happening, which never happened once.

It was my initial idea to get people to vote for Kevinh on Day 3 as Day 2 showed the danger how almost everyone apart from the mafia was voting Kevinh,  it was just the rest of the scum was almost completely inactive so it could only really be MF or me voting him.

 

To be honest I think the main problem was that the SK and in part MF were not doing enough for them to win.

They were not playing a game where it might be up for grabs, instead by Day 4 I already sensed that the Mafia just about won. 

the game was actually tied until the last day because of MF's victory conditions. but he went inactive during the night. if he wanted to win, he would have bused Lyner and EM (lyner to kill me and em to scan someone else) then push for a lynch on me today. i decided to sacrifice him last night though since i was pretty sure he would have been discovered either today or tomorrow so i tried a kill on Lyner.

Well that was before you lynched d3mon.

a few things to consider. the SKer could have taken out more mafia, targeted the psychiatrist, or been targeted by the psychiatrist. any of those 3 things happening would have been major wins for the town. you either have another mafia killed at night, or have a serial killer converted to town. also the serial killer converted to town can tell who they killed.

 

the number of scan/watch town roles in play was very high. granted the backup cop never came into play and thus JJs scanning ability never got unlocked. i probably should have used plurality for lynching(highest vote getter without majority) but i have never used it in a game with day phases that last as long as this games did. i normally play 24 hour day/night phases with plurality.

 

all in all the balance could have been a bit better with 1 more player, town aligned who i was going to make backup doc, but even getting as many players as we did was difficult. town also never used there best weapon, a mass character claim. well there was a safe list it was not very good, with multiple outright bad claims.

 

also just going back over things the town got very unlucky night 3. Ogaden used his kill on Shadow but since Shadow was jailed that night it didn't happen. well Shadow would have survived the kill attempt he would have been an easy lynch the next day phase

The safe list is about what I expected it to be.  In a 16 player game, the only one I might have believed would have been Sarah Bannerman, but her claim that she's unlynchable makes the actual role ability itself suspicious.  I knew we had to get people to claim to win, which was why I called out kevin, but if I had suggested a mass role claim, I'd have been the primary person of suspicion if I started pointing out what was obvious scum... which as it turned out actually happened anyways with Chaplin of Death.  I don't know if anyone other than myself would have been able to distinguish good role claims from bad ones.  I know I could because I have a good understanding of the show, but I don't think anyone else watched the show and has that same understanding. 

 

I even pointed out that Greg Stillson and Malcom Janus were certain mafia villains, but town forgot that on the last day, thinking there were only 3 mafia.  All they had to do was go check the names of dead mafia and they would have seen that Stillson or Janus weren't there.

That was a fun game to play.  I enjoyed all the new faces we had around this time and Im317 modded a very interesting game.   I liked all of the different power roles everyone had.  Too bad the town got some tough breaks there but there's always tomorrow :D
