The game design:
The game design was somewhat lacking, it didn't contain any experimental concepts, save it being half NOC. Except for that one change, It was a basic 2 village game. Because of this, I admit I probably should have tried to do this as a Beginner game. Well, we learn by making mistakes :)
The only problem with this game was that Microsoft had an unbalanced advantage. I told people it was 10v10v5 and it was, which would cause paranoia around a wolf, which didn't exist, save Spiffy which I will get into later. Now, each faction probably should've gotten a vig, because it was impossible for a member of Microsoft to die from any means other than lynching.
The game had it's fair share of flaws. Most of them were small, and didn't make a difference in the long run, like forgetting to move someone into a different room but them doing it as soon as the person contacted me.
My only big mistake revolves around Quagsires and Veedrock:
You see, my original idea was that quag could once per game NOC kidnap someone until Quag died. Well, when i gave it to mekkah, it said "Once per night... until dead" Mekkah must've thought it was once per night for a cycle, and missed the until dead part, so he approved of it. when i gave it to quagsires, he realized he could use it every night and they would be gone until dead. So I talked to mekkah, and he didn't approve of a multi cycle NOC, so we made it not NOC. That's the controversy around Veedrock and Quagsires.
How the mafia killed:
The mafia killed due to something called the power state. There was a power state s and a power state n. Each one could kill a faction. Eo was a mole who could teleport, transferring the power state from person to person. He never ended up doing this; the kills were always in the hand of nachos and Quagsires.
Roles:
Microsoft
Quagsires: He did great, and was a candidate for MVP. I already explained the controversy around the role, but as a player he was great, made some good calls, and managed to lead his faction for most of the game. Nice job :D
Eo: Great player. Honestly, if mafia were more strategy and less politics, and people would've really thought it through, they would've lynched Fwee, and after finding out that he was an inspector, Eo would be clean. Unfortunately, everyone was paranoid that Eo was a mole (which he was) and didn't think straight, so they lynched him, which ended up being a great call. Back to Eo, this guy is great with strategy and logical thinking, and was one of the better players.
Nachos: Nachos has the amazing ability to stunt logical thinking, aka make everyone around him stupid. FInn said that both him and toothache we role checkers, along with him. THat should give away that one of them is mafia. Somehow, he managed to survive even after having killed 12 people, and he deserves MVP for that.
Capefeather: Did well towards the beginning of the game; got lynched early though.
Slim Guldo: Not much to say here. Got lynched pretty early on
Those are the only role PMs that you haven't seen in full; for the rest, I will just state what they were:
Nintendo
Aura Guardian ~ Attacked by soldiers N3 ~ Nintendo Bodyguard
Aura Guardian: Not much to say here; got randed and was a bg :( died early game
Coolking ~ Lynched D4 ~ Nintendo Self-Watcher
Coolking: Did well, but got lynched after Nachos claimed alliance inspect, and toothache wasn't there to counter claim, Afroninja claimed rogue, Nachos said he confirmed that afro was rogue, and then there was kharozz, Aura, and Undiputed. All that left was Coolking to be lynched
Undisputed ~ Attacked by Soldiers N4 ~ Nintendo Redirector
Updisputed: This guy did well. He was really intense but was a good village leader. Again, he died pretty early on, so I can't say I know too much about him. He was the first leader of Nintendo, and did well to begin uniting them.
Assassinfred ~ Attacked by Soldiers N6 ~ Nintendo Silencer
Assassinfred: The second leader of Nintendo, he really managed to get people together. He didn't put his role to much use, as towards the beginning of the game there was no one he wanted silenced. But he did well to pick up in Undisputed's footsteps.
Fwee ~ Attacked by Soldiers N7 ~ Nintendo Alliance checker
HD/Fwee: HD wasn't inactive enough to sub out, but not really all that much active. That caused a problem for Nintendo, and Fwee had to enter the game about to be lynched. Fwee barely managed to survive that day, only to be killed the next night.
Spiffy ~ Attacked by Soldiers N8 ~ Nintendo Twin
Manav/Spiffy: I have no comment on Manav. Did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Then spiffy got the role. Once his twin died, his WC changed to "You are allied with yourself. You win if Microsoft is defeated". So when Sony was trying to get rid of the Wii so that PSM would gain powers, well :P
Spiffy was so well moled into Sony that Undisputed doubted his claim as Wii, but no one doubted his claim as a "hook-blocker"
Daletterel ~ Attacked by soldiers N9 ~ Nintendo Mayor
Kharozz/Daletterel: People get subbed into this game moments before dying. Blame that on Nachos.
Polelover ~ Attacked by soldiers N11 ~ Nintendo Safeguard
Polelover: was active; not much to say here.
Endgame Survivers
Afroninja: Didn't really do all that much, but then again, who am i to talk, i didn't talk to him
Toothache: Did well, i guess. If he was there, he could've counter claimed nachos in the courtyard and gotten him lynched. When FinnRagetti said that Nachos and toothache were role check, and then Finn died as Sony role check, you should've assumed that Nachos was Microsoft. O well, you still did quite good :)
Sony
Destiny Warrior ~ Lynched D1 ~ Sony Hooker
Destiny Warrior: Next player please
theangryscientist ~ Ran out of business N2 ~ Sony Bodyguard
theangryscientist: Finn gave away his identity to Micro, got killed early
vonFiedler ~ Ran out of business N4 ~ Sony Posting Restriction
vonFiedler: THis guy did great. Quag gave an obviously faulty claim to him, so he made a posting restriction on quag. If quag were to post, he would have to include his obviously fake role pm and all of the flaws in it. That same night, Fatecrashers tracked him, and lynched Quagsires, who couldn't respond without getting outed.
Fatecrashers ~ Attacked by Soldiers N6 ~ Sony Tracker/Watcher
Dogfish/Fatecrasher: not much to say on Dogfish; Fatecrahsers targeted 2 mafioso in 2 nights. If Nachos hadn't of killed him the night that he did, Fatecrashers would've figured out he was mafia because of his track
Upside ~ Attacked by soldiers N7 ~ Sony Persuder
Upside: tried to survive till the end when his role would be good. He survived 7 cycles.
King Emerald ~ God killed D8 ~ Sony Twin
King Emerald: Lol. throughout most of the game he had Finnragetti and spiffy looking for Wii. Sony focused on trying to get his powers, even though they wouldn't of ended up helping them
FinnRagetti ~ Attacked by Soldiers N8 ~ Sony Ability inspector
FinnRaggeti: Did great. A solid player that always turned in night actions. Sorry again for shortening deadlines; all the way till the end of the game I never got every night action by deadline, I just wanted to force people to do stuff. Candidate for MVP
Veedrock ~ Lynched D9 ~ Sony Alliance Inspector
Veedrock: Sorry dude; you did great throughout
Insomniac ~ Lynched D10 ~ Sony Safeguard
Insomniac: Turned in night action, as far as I know didn't do much more.
Endgame Survivers
Team Aether: He was never active enough to make for a good player, but he responded to my activity prods and turned in a few actions; we wan't bad enough to sub out

Roles:
Microsoft
Dear <Users>,
You are a part of Team Microsoft (the mafia), and your goal is to eliminate all of the members of Nintendo and Sony that didn’t invite you to the conference. The members of the team:
Nachos Ability Checker (Garden) (Fable III)
Quagsires Bonder (Main Room) (Kinect)
Capefeather Hooker (Basement) (Gears of War 3)
Slim Guldo Silencer (Roof) (Call of Duty: Black Ops)
Eo Ut Mortus Teleporter / Mole (Moving) (Halo Reach)
You’ll notice that each member of Team Microsoft is assigned a room (with the exception of Halo Reach). You may only kill in the room assigned to you, and if you are in “Power State S” or “Power State N”.
Halo Reach’s Job is to move around, taking “Power State” from some of you so that he can give It to others.
Example Night round:
Kinect and Fable III have Power states. Halo Reach is currently in the Main Room. Kinect kills a target. Fable III kills a target. Halo Reach takes the “Power State” off of Kinect. At the end of the night, when the unit’s can move, Kinect moves to the roof. Next round, Halo Reach will give the Power State to Call of Duty: Black Ops, and he can kill that same night.
Your leader is Kinect. Kinect and Fable III start out with Power States. Kinect has Power State S and Fable III has Power State N. The rest of you don’t start out with it. You may IRC and PM each other even though you’re in different rooms. You may only kill targets on the same floor as you, if you are in power state, and if you have power state N, you may only kill a member of team Nintendo. Targeting a member of Team Sony will cause your night action to fail. Power state S can only target members of Sony. Should a neutral, if they exist in this game, be targeted, they will be affected by either power state.
You win if Team Microsoft defeats all opposing factions.

Dear Quagsires,
You are Kinect
You are the revolutionary controllerless game system. You were undercover over many years under the codename of “Project Natal”. You were a top secret project that combines all of the current and future technology into one giant gaming system. But you were controversial. And you won’t stop at revolutionary.
Once per night, you can PM Jigglypuffers42 and Mekkah with “Night X - Technology Needs to Advance! Copy <User>”. You will observe the user and evolve, gaining its abilities. But you can’t just evolve, you must destroy your competition. So you must imprison the unit that you copy. The unit will only be released after you die.
Additionally, if you are in the “Power State”, once per night you may PM Jigglypuffers42 and Mekkah with “Night X – Run <Unit> out of business” You will run <Unit> out of business, killing them.
You start out in the “Power State S”.
You are allied will Team Microsoft (The Mafia). You win if Team Microsoft defeats all opposing factions.

Dear Eo,
You are Halo Reach
You are the final game in the million-selling series, Halo.
The rules that apply to normal video games don’t apply to you. You can teleport, meaning that when you move rooms, you don’t need to go to an adjacent room.
Under an alliance check, you will appear as whatever alliance the checker is a part of. Under an Ability check, your ability will be shown as: “You can teleport, meaning that when you move rooms, you don’t need to go to an adjacent room”
At any time, you can PM Jigglypuffers42 and Mekkah with “Absorb <User>’s Power State”. The Unit will no longer be in “Power State”, and you will gain “Power State”.
In addition, you can PM Jigglypuffers42 and Mekkah with “Give Power State to <User>”. The user will gain “Power State” and you will use it.
Mafia members need to be in “Power State” to be able to kill.

Dear Nachos,
You are Fable III
You travel from poverty to royalty. You can become whomever you wish—a just ruler that leads your kingdom to peace, or an evil tyrant.
When you come from poverty, you learn all of the secrets of the streets. Using those secrets, you can, once per night, PM Jigglypuffers42 and Mekkah with “Night X – Spy on <User>”. You will spy on <User>, and will be told their ability, but not their alliance.
Additionally, if you are in the “Power State”, once per night, you may PM Jigglypuffers42 and Mekkah with “Night X – Send Royal Knights to kill <Unit>” Your royal knights will attack and kill <Unit>.
You start out in the “Power State N”.

Dear Capefeather,
You are Gears of War III.
You are a blood shedding, mass murdering, gun firing video game.
Once per night, you can PM Jigglypuffers42 and Mekkah with “Night X – Shoot <User>”. You lack any aim whatsoever, but the user will be so scared from the sound of a gun firing and ricocheting bullets, that he will go and hide, and will not use his/her night action.
Additionally, if you ware in the “Power State”, once per night, you can PM Jigglypuffers42 and Mekkah with “Night X – Snipe <User>”. The “Power State” will give you aim, and you will take out your machine gun and overkill the user.

Capefeather: Did well towards the beginning of the game; got lynched early though.
Dear Slim Guldo,
You are Call of Duty: Black Ops.
You are just another member of an extensive series of first person shooters, but you will stand out in a crowd, but making your name infamous.

Slim Guldo: Not much to say here. Got lynched pretty early on
Those are the only role PMs that you haven't seen in full; for the rest, I will just state what they were:
Nintendo
Aura Guardian ~ Attacked by soldiers N3 ~ Nintendo Bodyguard
Aura Guardian: Not much to say here; got randed and was a bg :( died early game
Coolking ~ Lynched D4 ~ Nintendo Self-Watcher
Coolking: Did well, but got lynched after Nachos claimed alliance inspect, and toothache wasn't there to counter claim, Afroninja claimed rogue, Nachos said he confirmed that afro was rogue, and then there was kharozz, Aura, and Undiputed. All that left was Coolking to be lynched
Undisputed ~ Attacked by Soldiers N4 ~ Nintendo Redirector
Updisputed: This guy did well. He was really intense but was a good village leader. Again, he died pretty early on, so I can't say I know too much about him. He was the first leader of Nintendo, and did well to begin uniting them.
Assassinfred ~ Attacked by Soldiers N6 ~ Nintendo Silencer
Assassinfred: The second leader of Nintendo, he really managed to get people together. He didn't put his role to much use, as towards the beginning of the game there was no one he wanted silenced. But he did well to pick up in Undisputed's footsteps.
Fwee ~ Attacked by Soldiers N7 ~ Nintendo Alliance checker
HD/Fwee: HD wasn't inactive enough to sub out, but not really all that much active. That caused a problem for Nintendo, and Fwee had to enter the game about to be lynched. Fwee barely managed to survive that day, only to be killed the next night.
Spiffy ~ Attacked by Soldiers N8 ~ Nintendo Twin
Manav/Spiffy: I have no comment on Manav. Did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Then spiffy got the role. Once his twin died, his WC changed to "You are allied with yourself. You win if Microsoft is defeated". So when Sony was trying to get rid of the Wii so that PSM would gain powers, well :P
Spiffy was so well moled into Sony that Undisputed doubted his claim as Wii, but no one doubted his claim as a "hook-blocker"
Daletterel ~ Attacked by soldiers N9 ~ Nintendo Mayor
Kharozz/Daletterel: People get subbed into this game moments before dying. Blame that on Nachos.
Polelover ~ Attacked by soldiers N11 ~ Nintendo Safeguard
Polelover: was active; not much to say here.
Endgame Survivers
Afroninja: Didn't really do all that much, but then again, who am i to talk, i didn't talk to him
Toothache: Did well, i guess. If he was there, he could've counter claimed nachos in the courtyard and gotten him lynched. When FinnRagetti said that Nachos and toothache were role check, and then Finn died as Sony role check, you should've assumed that Nachos was Microsoft. O well, you still did quite good :)
Sony
Destiny Warrior ~ Lynched D1 ~ Sony Hooker
Destiny Warrior: Next player please
theangryscientist ~ Ran out of business N2 ~ Sony Bodyguard
theangryscientist: Finn gave away his identity to Micro, got killed early
vonFiedler ~ Ran out of business N4 ~ Sony Posting Restriction
vonFiedler: THis guy did great. Quag gave an obviously faulty claim to him, so he made a posting restriction on quag. If quag were to post, he would have to include his obviously fake role pm and all of the flaws in it. That same night, Fatecrashers tracked him, and lynched Quagsires, who couldn't respond without getting outed.
Fatecrashers ~ Attacked by Soldiers N6 ~ Sony Tracker/Watcher
Dogfish/Fatecrasher: not much to say on Dogfish; Fatecrahsers targeted 2 mafioso in 2 nights. If Nachos hadn't of killed him the night that he did, Fatecrashers would've figured out he was mafia because of his track
Upside ~ Attacked by soldiers N7 ~ Sony Persuder
Upside: tried to survive till the end when his role would be good. He survived 7 cycles.
King Emerald ~ God killed D8 ~ Sony Twin
King Emerald: Lol. throughout most of the game he had Finnragetti and spiffy looking for Wii. Sony focused on trying to get his powers, even though they wouldn't of ended up helping them
FinnRagetti ~ Attacked by Soldiers N8 ~ Sony Ability inspector
FinnRaggeti: Did great. A solid player that always turned in night actions. Sorry again for shortening deadlines; all the way till the end of the game I never got every night action by deadline, I just wanted to force people to do stuff. Candidate for MVP
Veedrock ~ Lynched D9 ~ Sony Alliance Inspector
Veedrock: Sorry dude; you did great throughout
Insomniac ~ Lynched D10 ~ Sony Safeguard
Insomniac: Turned in night action, as far as I know didn't do much more.
Endgame Survivers
Team Aether: He was never active enough to make for a good player, but he responded to my activity prods and turned in a few actions; we wan't bad enough to sub out
