TOWN WINS

I thought both sides had the ability to win this game at different points in time. Wylted jumped the gun by claiming Tracker for no reason. There was no need to say that he visited Earth. Town was plagued with inactivity. I would’ve played on that and forced a mislynch late on JoeBob. I designed his role to be similar to Casey’s to intentionally cause disruption. Town also missed Lunatic’s big hint where he basically said who he would select at night if he night. His role made it very likely that Austin was town, but no one caught that. Luckily town had a mislynch to play with.

Scum had a great chance to win even after Wylted’s death. Austin messed up who he visited, which was stupid and gave scum a massive break allowing for Austin’s death and then NK on town power role of Watcher (Whiteflame)

DP4, I don’t know what Owen was thinking. His claim was stupid. He should’ve used his real claim and said he got it as town. Same with Wylted. I don’t see why he had to go claim Tracker when Dreaming God is a heavily town role. It just made no sense to me. Back to Owen. Owen, buddy, I get you’re a noob, but your job as scum is to sow doubt on the other town players. Earth, Savant, and JoeBob could’ve been scum. Your job is to lay out the case. Personally, a mislynch on Savant would’ve been easy because he didn’t properly read his PM. So he essentially lied about being confirmed when Whiteflame would die. You have to pick up on these by reading previous DPs, which you didn’t do. At the end of the day your claim and decision to agree to town read Owen and JoeBob sealed the deal.

Anyways, I thought the balance was pretty fair in the grand scheme of things, with there being a possibility of swinginess to either side. As always, I appreciate any feedback on setup and mod style in general. Thanks everyone for playing!

TOWN:


Casey - You are Perseus, the son of Zeus. Using a reflective shield given to you by the Goddess Athena, you were able to avert Medusa’s direct gaze, but at the same time, you were able to see her so that you could kill her. Therefore, you are the Town Reflector. Each night you may give someone a reflection shield, which will cause anyone targeting  the person you gave the shield to have their actions reflected back onto themselves. For example, if Player A targeted Player B and you gave the shield to Player B, Player A’s action will occur on Player A (themselves). The reflection shield lasts only one night (ie you must retarget each night) since you just used it basically once to help kill Medusa, and it cannot reflect the Mafia NK because you didn’t kill anyone with it. You win with the Town.


Whiteflame - You are Arataka Reigen. You are known for your sharp instincts, persuasive skills, and deep understanding of human nature. Your profession as a self-proclaimed psychic exorcist requires observing and analyzing people's behavior closely to effectively "detect" spirits and solve supernatural problems. Your knack for reading people and detecting subtle changes helps uncover suspicious activities. Therefore, you are the Town Watcher. Each night, you may select a person to watch. You will learn who visited them. You win with the Town.


Earth - You are Shulk from Xenoblade - In the game, your sword Monado grants visions of potential futures. These visions are not merely glimpses of what might happen but are detailed snapshots of different possible outcomes based on current actions and events. It sure helps you out in a sword fight because you can see your opponents move before it even happens. Therefore, you are the Town Dreamer. Each night you are not visited during the night, you will receive a vision containing three random players. At least one player in that vision will be a member of the mafia.  You win with the Town.


JoeBob - You are Iron Man. In the first Avengers movie, when Loki used the Tesseract to open a portal for the Chitauri, the world leaders ordered a nuclear strike in the area of the invasion — New York City. That nuke would have destroyed one of the largest cities in America. You however, redirected the nuke into the portal opening to destroy the Chitauri at their source with the full intention of becoming a martyr if necessary. Because of your heroics and commitment to protecting Earth and people, you are the Compulsive Interceptor. Each night, you must target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, any actions performed by that player will be redirected to you. You win with the Town.


Austin - You are Hans Niemann. You were accused of cheating by Magnus Carlsen and you filed a defamation lawsuit against him. A judge dismissed the case and everything went back to normal. There was no evidence of you cheating over the board, which means you won against Magnus fair and square. We shall see if you can defeat World Champion Magnus again. Because of your accomplishments and ability to predict your opponent's moves, you are the Chess Grandmaster. Each day and night, you must submit the name of a player you think will die in that phase. If you successfully predict the death of three players consecutively and are living at the end of the game, Town automatically wins. You must submit a name in the day phase within 24 hours of its start. You win with the Town.


Savant - You are Atticus Finch. You are the only white person who believes Tom Robinson is innocent. However, in 1930s Alabama, it is impossible to convince a jury that a black man could be telling the truth. Tom Robinson lost all hope and supposedly tried to escape prison. In doing so, he was shot 17 times. Atticus unfortunately had to deliver the bad news to his widow Helen. Even though Tom died, you delivered his last words and taught your children right vs wrong. Thus, you are the Town Probate Lawyer. Each night, you may visit a player. If that player dies at any point in the game, they will be allowed to leave a last message in the form of a last will. When you die, all last wills are published. You win with the Town.


Lunatic - You are Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones. As the last surviving heir of House Tarth, you had great marriage prospects. Instead you chose the path of men and learned to fight and become a swordsman. You were bullied as a child for not being a proper girl, but your bravery is renowned in Westeros. In a sexist society, you were able to become Lord Commander of the Kingsguard for Bran the Broken. Thus, you are the Brave Townie. Each night, you may select a player. If that player does NOT win with the town, you will be protected from all lethal actions. You win with the Town.



MAFIA:

Wylted - You are Julius Evola. You are an Italian philosopher, writer, and esotericist known for complex and controversial ideas. You are often associated with traditionalist and reactionary thought, promoting a return to pre-modern values and hierarchies. Your works cover a range of topics, including metaphysics, politics, and spirituality and have been influential among various far-right and alternative political movements. Thus, you are the Mafia Dreaming God. Each night, you may use one of the following abilities (see below). You may choose each ability only once, and must use it that night or forfeit it forever. You win with the Mafia. Here are your list of abilities:

Pagan Imperialism
The Doctrine of Awakening
The Metaphysics of Sex
The Yoga of Power
Ride the Tiger
The Myth of the Blood: The Philosophy of the Race
Introduction to Magic
Revolt Against the Modern World

Owen - You are Donald Trump’s Ear. At the Butler, PA rally, instead of a bullet hitting Trump’s head, God willed it to hit Trump’s ear because Trump shifted his head at the last second. Thank god for that, otherwise we would be in a mess right now. With God at Trump’s side, all we have to do is believe. Thus, you are the Mafia Divine Protector. Each night, you may target a player including yourself. Assuming no interference with your action, that player will be immune to actions from Town-aligned players. You win with the Mafia.

A big clue that the town didn't pick up on DP3: Lunatic's last message.

Before someone hammers, I am going to be thinking of savant tonight if wylted is innocent. I’ll be thinking of Austin tonight if Wylted is guilty.
Should have made it clear that Luna most likely visited Austin, meaning that he was most likely town. Combine that with the fact that Owen's supposed role PM didn't actually include the name of his role anywhere, which completely broke the format, and the town could have figured out that Owen was scum and won DP3. I understand why they ended up going for Austin, though, and at least they put it all together in the end. I was really worried the town was going to lose there for a moment. GG.

GG. I think Pie and Casey covered it. Honestly, even if I had remembered that Luna had mentioned visiting Austin, I probably would have still scumread him based on the last minute change in who he visited NP1, though it would have given me pause because my theory relied on scum somehow RBing JoeBob and manipulating Luna’s visit.

@Savant
Also, like Pie mentioned, be careful when you give your role claim that you’re accurate. I was scumreading you early in this last DP because it looked like you lied about your role, and while that wasn’t necessarily going to result in a lynch even if I was still in the game, it could very easily have swung the game against us.
