He sold out Aura Guardian the cycle when he was gonna get lynched, he was asking for wolf contact, so I made a fake for Coronis and told him to go for it, and to post everything I told him and inform me everything Lord Jesseus said. Eventually, Lord Jesseus believed my not-so-good wolf fake, and he told Coronis his partner would contact him. I didnt want a "tomorrow" so I told Coronis to put pressure on him, and he told us "Its Aura Guardian", and even though I wanted his role PM to be 100% sure, he didnt, so we only were half sure, and after his "Veedrock typo" we were completely sure he was bad.
Vote Aura Guardian. P1 again, yeah!
Cycle 7 is over.
"Let's get Aura_Guardian!" the crowd says, euphoric to at last end this conflict. "Fuck-off-dickwhads-I-am-Jane." responds the lynch target, and he pulls out a sawed-off shotgun. However, before he can fire, Exarius takes the form of a paperclip, and with one quick "it looks like you are trying to kill us all!" he dismantles the shotgun and the robot carrying it. Hasta la vista, baby.
After a quick body count, you determine this must have been the last evil guy. You are glad to have survived, and return to your home to enjoy the internet once more.
Game Over. The Things You Find on the Internet win!

I forget what, but rey's fake claim for Coronis had typos in it. LJ was fooled, but I was not. I would not have made contact if LJ hadn'tgiven out my name.
EDIT: Also, I would not have phrased it that way... I'm not one for profanities.
EDIT 2: I really did typo Veedrock! I still am not sure how, but I really did typo it.

The monsters would not have fallen for it. By the way, shade, I suggested that LJ ask for wolf contact. What I did not do is ask him to give my name out.
good game, everybody.
Good game.
Good game.
reason you should have: I would not have killed you.
that was a great game. My role effectively killed Gmax, which was fun knowing that I contributed. :D
This was my role PM. I did little of distinction this game, other than cleaning moot on Cycle 1 by confirming him as having high priority. But by consistently giving rey results that matched other inspections, I gained his trust.
The Unicycle feature turned out very well. It kept the game from being drawn out too long (unlike Maximum Duration Mafia) but still allowed enough time to deliberate. Also, it kept there from being a day that rushes by so quickly that one could completely miss it. I'm looking forward to other Unicycle mafias in the future.
what? awful. though to be fair i only trusted you because it was my only chance to have the Monsters win!
When Coronis contacted me, I was not thinking at 100% then, and I told him to prove his role by killing Veedrock, which Amelia then did. So, I trusted him shouldn't have: I forgot the typos in his fake claim, and the slip up was before the accidental proof, I think. Sorry.
Postgame
I actually don't have a whole lot to say. I think it's pretty clear how the game went: reyscarface got a bunch of claims, and all the bad guys died to crossfire or lynch, with the only mislynch happening Cycle 1. But before I get to the individual roles and performances, I'd just like to say I was very satisfied with the way the Unicycle system worked. Nobody seemed to have a problem getting a lynch or an action target in. I think this is because of how used everyone is to Smogon Mafia. Normally, you need that day cycle to talk about lynch targets, but in Smogon Mafia the day is generally just a bandwagon vote, and most of the time you are just waiting until you can send in your Night PM.

Master Sheet - Where I kept track of everything.
Things You Find on the Internet
I had five power roles on this village (inspector, bodyguard, hooker, vigilanté and lynch hijack), and everything else ranged from okay to useless. Most of them just claimed to Reyscarface and bandwagoned to victory. I expected the village to have a very hard time with the Unicycle system, considering the unusually low time to receive, pass and progress information, but it really didn't end up the way I expected it to.
10. billymills - Khaled Mardam-Bey - Inspector
Role: Standard inspector, except the command is really long because I'm an asshole.
Player: Obviously a very central role. Smartly claimed inspector to rey pretty early, but martyr to other people so they'd leave him alone. It was found out that he was inspector though, but it wasn't before he cleaned polelover and busted Gmax and shade that he was kidnapped, then offed the next Cycle.
-----
11. RB Golbat - Mushu - Bodyguard
Role: Standard bodyguard.
Player: One of the last villagers to claim to reyscarface, I think. He would've saved billymills from dying to the Well-Armed Men once, but that was during the cycle where their only possible executor was Lord Jesseus, who got lynched. Pretty much got randkilled.
-----
12. Engineer Pikachu - Kanye West - Lynch Hi-Jack
Role: Just had to put Kanye West's meme in this game. This role is pretty damn powerful, as when optimally used it can clean two people (himself and user1) and kill a third, which is obviously why it's a one-timer.
Player: Another late claimer, rey told me he was actually scheduled for the chopping block, but some time later his claim appeared on the sheet. He was a welcome solution to the "Gmax problem" rey had: billy had inspected him, but he and rey knew Gmax would just use his ability the moment it became clear he'd get lynched. Instead of giving Gmax time to contact neutrals and other mafia, they used this one-timer on him, cleaning the Engineer and getting rid of the Chupacabra all in one. Definitely didn't expect that to happen.
-----
13. evan/Exarius - Office Assistant - Hooker
Role: A hooker with some twists. Earlygame, a normal hooker can't randhook without ruining an ally's plan. Later, if a hooker is left in the dark (bad or no village leader), he has the same problem. In such a case, this role can randhook the kill preventing version, and as long as he doesn't hit a busy vigilanté all is okay. The non-kill version can be used on suspect mafioso, especially those who claimed to have no night role, or just to charge the main village vigilanté.
Player: evan claimed and didn't really do a whole lot...I guess his mafia instincts only really work when he is evil! Exarius subbed in when the show was almost over. None of the actions taken really made a difference. He did rack up +1 target on the vigilanté, but the kill that came out of that never saw the daylight due to the higher priority of mafia kills.
-----
14. Veedrock - Kesuke Miyag - Vigilanté
Role: A self-watcher that gains a limited killing ability if he's targeted often enough. There was plenty of roles in the game that could be used to charge him without sacrificing efficiency, such as the Dementor, Mushu and Roadrunner.
Player: Played pretty aggressively in Cycle 1, demanding a lynch over no lynch. He was quite sure that Aura_Guardian was clean, which was funny to watch, though he didn't publicize the fact that he could kill to anyone but reyscarface. He was going to kill Mr378, but he had lower priority than the mafia kills. This game had quite a lot of prevented and failed kills, and this was just one of them.
-----
15. Staraptor Call - Roadrunner - Priority Check
Role: One of those roles who can't do much except charge the vigilanté. Five was the priority the mafia kills had, but good luck figuring that out, or doing anything meaningful with it.
Player: I might as well stop saying "claimed" because everyone did that...rey for some reason thought he could clean people by having their speed measured. The people he did mark as clean because of it were always clean, so he got away with it, but that definitely could have backfired...
-----
16. Coronis - Yoda - Word Inserter
Role: porygon3's false claim from Double Alias. A joke role with no real use.
Player: While his role was worthless, he did actually make a large difference. He was sent by rey to claim wolf and talk to the confirmed mafioso to "collaborate kills". He got Lord Jesseus to tell him Aura Guardian was his last partner, which ruined the tiny little bit of hope I had for the Well-Armed Men. Well done.
-----
17. polelover44 - Shiro Emiya - Forensics Man
Role: Pretty useless role, mostly intended to maybe allow some guesses on what roles are on what team, but otherwise just a village vote.
Player: Found that a mysterious third party killed both of his targets (Bass and Altair), then died to said mysterious third party.
-----
18. moot - Gosalyn Mallard - Night PM Checker / Wolf Safeclaim
Role: A seemingly useless role, the main purpose was to allow the wolf a great safeclaim. The flavor heavily implies Darkwing Duck is in the game, though doesn't outright state this, nor does it say he's aligned with the Internet.
Player: Revealed his entire role at the first opportunity, making it even more useless than it was, and then killed by the wolf.
-----
19. Fishy - Rolf - Back-Up Apprentice
Role: The Back-Up Guy from IRC, except he could only inherit five roles, and she'd get nerfed versions.
The nerfs were:
Inspector -> Role Name Inspector
Bodyguard -> Kill delayer (by 1 Cycle, gets to know he delayed a kill)
Lynch HJ (unused) -> Additional lynch death without the village check (so basically, the lynch target and his own target die no matter what). Wouldn't work if the LHJ was used.
Hooker -> Martyr
Vigilante -> same role, but can only get one kill
Player: Got three of the above, but didn't really do anything. Until the tail end Fishy was extremely inactive, and while she claimed to Rey initially, she could have helped so much more. Oh well, village didn't need too much help with the luck and proper leadership they were getting.
-----
20. IRON KENYAN - Bob Ross - Artist / Unsilencable
Role: Comedic relief. This was cyzir's false claim way back from YCI mafia (we were both Milkmen...good times). Jackal can attest how believable this role is - he actually believed cyzir was neutral! Once he had three or more positive reviews, he'd gain immunity to all sorts of vote altering/preventing roles. In this game, that'd be John McClane (vote negator) and Yeti (kidnapper).
Player: I loved seeing him at work. His lynch vote pictures were absolutely hilarious, and he always made it clear who he was going for with a PM even though I never asked for it. He made a big deal out of his potential new powers before he knew what they were, constantly asking questions about what does and does not count as a positive or negative review. He said he wasn't even disappointed in the least when he learned what they were.
-----
21. Flamestrike - Man Goat - Mason / Mayor
Role: The first half of the Mason/Mayor duo. A good start for a village unison, and no real loss if one of them dies.
Player: Never got to do anything until the very end because Rey kept him hidden. Which helped a lot because it meant the mafia had to essentially randkill. In the end he seemed hesitant on getting Aura Guardian (despite CAPITALIZED orders to do so being in the spreadsheet), which caused much frustration to the dead rey, but he ended up following his plan anyway.
-----
22. Reyscarface - Usher - Mason / Mayor
Role: Second half of said duo.
Player: Easily best player on the Things You Find on the Internet. Gathered claims from all over the place, caught all but the best fakes (hi Amelia)...really, his only mistake was trusting Aura Guardian. I never had much hope for Aura because after Cycle 3 it was pretty much him versus the world, but if it hadn't been for Lord Jesseus' idiocy, I bet the game would have lasted a lot longer.
-----
23. Fishin - RB Golbat - Informative Man
Role: RBG the Wikipedia moderator/admin. This was originally going to be just "Wikipedia" but I thought that'd be boring. Anyway, I've used this type in an RTM once, it was quite funny. The facts he'd receive are:
1. The village has access to a limited number of kills, and they require cooperation.
2. There are 15 players aligned with the Things You Find on the Internet.
3. At the start of the game, there were five players aligned with the Things You Find on the Internet with no night action to send in.
4. There is a role in the game that compares someone's "speed" to a certain number. This number is the kill priority of the two evil factions.
5. If someone has been successfully inspected, the result can always be trusted.
6. There are no harmless neutrals in this game.
7. Both the Things You Find on the Internet and one of the evil factions have a role that prevents an inspection from happening.
Granted, I didn't expect him to last seven Cycles, but I had to make up stuff here!
Player: He got all of two fun facts before getting killed by the Monsters. :(
-----
24. porygon3 - Dementor - Inspection Steal - Lynched Day 1
Role: A powerful role, but very untrustable. Ideally, he would have been inspected, and either sacrificed a village inspection to gain a kill, or block a mafia inspection. Hard to do that if he isn't inspected himself, though.
Player: Poor ygon3 always gets left out of the loop in mafia, so he wanted to lead for a change...too bad his role wasn't fit to lead at all. :( He tried his best Day 1, but billymills and Veedrock were both suspicious for him, and he was voted off on a day I expected to see a No Lynch.
-----
Neutrals
1. Amelia - NegaDuck - Wolf
Role: At the risk of sounding arrogant, I think this is one of my favourite wolves I have ever seen in action. Nothing too crazy about his night powers: a kill every night, some kind of investigative ability, and the insurance that he wouldn't die to the mafia's first kill. But that really gives him a shot at winning without relying on falsifying inspection results is the Darkwing Duck safe claim connected to a villager.
Player: Amelia played pretty much how I intended the role: make a Darkwing Duck claim with the Night Command inspect in it, find Gosalyn, and sit back as you're marked down as trusted. Initially he was going to claim to have or receive vigilante powers which he'd lose if he ever killed a villager, but he ended up not doing that, which I thought was a better idea. He was targeted for kills by both mafia factions - once by the Monsters on Cycle 2, when he was still bulletproof, and the fatal time on Cycle 5 by the Well-Armed Men. Some people say he should have contacted the mafia, but to be honest the mafia would have killed him off or sold him out later anyway, at best getting to some sort of Viva-endgame-like-tie. The way he did it now, he just needed to not get hit by mafia randkills. I think I wouldn't have killed Gosalyn though, as this spouted all kinds of twin rumors.
-----
Monsters Which May or May Not Exist
Global Monster PM:
Role: Heh, monsters. Pretty much my standard way of a mafia role PM: a shared part and a personal part. The safeclaims are much less mighty than those in Double Alias, but I still thought they could be useful. I also put some completely useless roles on the village side and told both mafia sides they could just claim that as well, but they all insisted on claiming things like yes/no asker and a BPV that can shoot back. :( The 10 role name list was a good idea, I think, as it allowed me to give them name claims without busting or confirming others. The hook preventor safe claim might not look like much, but if anything they could just use it on themselves for once...and of course, porygon3's role wasn't very village-like either, so I thought hook preventor wasn't too far out of the field. They never really used any of these claims or the list though.
Role: I like this combination of the kidnapper and announcer roles, it's pretty fresh. You can excommunicate people like village leaders and inspectors, prevent someone's role for a cycle, or kidnap one of your own dudes to keep him safe and give him an announcement. I really wanted NOC in because usually all kidnappers and silencers accomplish is preventing someone from voting, but the targets tend to force someone to copypaste their IRC logs, which completely defeats the point.
Player: Genny played very well for a newcomer. With Gmax busy and Altair dead, he had his work cut out for him. Very active, and considering how early most Monsters went, he did most of the role execution as well. Claiming alonketchum13 was a good idea, claiming yes/no asker was not. Though rey insists yes/no askers are generally more restricted, I assure you there's been plenty of times they weren't...but they are essentially inspectors and you can easily be caught lying, plus you risk running into one aligned with the village.
-----
3. Altair - Ho-oh - Inspector (full) - Killed Cycle 1
Role: Standard mafia inspector. Rainbow turkeys rule.
Player: Altair didn't seem to be under much suspicion, but he was the first of the wolf's unfortunate randtargets, robbing the Monsters from getting inspections for the entire game. However, even beyond death he kept leading the Monsters, which was much appreciated by Genny who at times might as well have been on his own otherwise.
-----
Role: A new role. I wanted to put in something to stop crossfire to an extent, and after some deliberation with Earthworm I made this. Even if it doesn't prevent anything, it should theoretically provide you with some info, such as someone from the other mafia who you can then contact to collab kills with.
Player: 378 claimed some powerful 50 cent BPV+vigilante role that wasn't believed at all. He wasn't very active, and his role never worked because only Amelia actually killed mafioso at night. :(
-----
5. Gmax - El Chupacabra - Lynch Preventor
Role: LOOK AT THE DOGGIE! Gave this to Gmax because we both enjoy CHUPACABRA FIGHT (and obviously because he requested to be mafia since he sucks as everything else! HEh).
Player: Was pretty busy apparently, and got inspected by billy very early, and offed Kanye West style by surprise. So basically, didn't do much, couldn't do much. Better next time.
-----
Well-Armed Men With Something To Protect
Global Armed Men PM:
Role: Nothing to say that I haven't already...probably slightly better false claims than the Monsters, but worse roles (vote negator is overall worse than kidnapper, and the Terminator doesn't get entire role PMs like Ho-oh does).
-----
Role: Silencer, except without the "you can't post at all" part, since that doesn't work either for reasons outlined in the Yeti role explanation.
Player: Well, he got on IRC, I guess that's something. Too bad he also told Coronis that Aura Guardian was his last team mate, then didnt't tell his team about this...and also outed himself as mafia to a complete bluff by Rey.
-----
Role: Inspector with somewhat limited data. I liked that idea, it used to be pretty standard...my Apocalypse Mafia inspections never got full role PMs.
Player: Absolutely hilarious. Clearly excited about the game in general, he posted and posted and posted in the thread until everyone was sick of it. Veedrock instantly believed he was a villager, which gave him a close connection to the village. He claimed Jane, a limited inspector that only gets role name and alliance...nobody had a clue about Jane beyond what he told us she was, though. He sat in the channel with shade coming up with new ridiculous ideas every five minutes like a hyperactive child, with shade telling him to sit down and take a deep breath every time until he had an actual sane plan ready. If it weren't for Lord Jesseus, who knows how long he could have gone on...
-----
8. Bass - Tommy Vercetti - Crossfire Preventor
Role: Same as Mr378.
Player: Well, he thought up a good channel name for the Well-Armed Men then died to an Amelia randkill. :(
-----
9. shade - Andrew Schneider - Inspection Preventor
Role: Originally was going to be something stupid and obscure, but one time when we discussed Unicycle Mafia before it started someone brought up Unicycle Drive-By and that video was brought up, and I thought it was much cooler.
Player: I think shade was the best evil player overall with the possible exception of Amelia. He stayed active to help out Aura Guardian even though he died early, but despite all good effort there just wasn't enough left to work with.
-----
Awards
I think awards such as "serial killer" are largely pointless. All it proves is that you had a killing role and you lived long, but it doesn't exactly tell anyone if you played good or bad. So here's some sensible awards.
Hero In Town (Best Villager) - reyscarface
He didn't fuck around. He had the perfect role and situation to lead. He grabbed claims, bothered for results and night targets, and didn't do idiotic things like announcing the next day (cycle)'s plan to tie a lynch. Honorable mention to billymills who played the crucial role of inspector well.
The Real Atagonist (Best Evil Man) - Amelia
Amelia was the only evil person aside from Aura Guardian who 100% went under the radar. Amelia had more claim material to work with, of course, but he also had to do it all on his own.
Comedy Award - THE IRON KENYAN
Awesome lynch pictures. Honorable mention to the Aura Guardian because seeing him flail around was funny as well.
Best Role Execution - Kanye West
billymills (and rey) thought up the redirect-lynch-to-Gmax plan, Engineer Pikachu had the role to do it. Nice job.
Worst Luck - Amelia
Two mafia kills in the first two nights, and an avenging randkill to stop what was going to be a potential wolf-win. Sucks. This really affected all bad sides equally, though, but it all came from this guy.
Best Babysitter - shade
As promised. All those "I think I'll claim naive / neutral / wolf / other mafia / silenced / kidnapped" plans must have been extremely tiresome!
I actually don't have a whole lot to say. I think it's pretty clear how the game went: reyscarface got a bunch of claims, and all the bad guys died to crossfire or lynch, with the only mislynch happening Cycle 1. But before I get to the individual roles and performances, I'd just like to say I was very satisfied with the way the Unicycle system worked. Nobody seemed to have a problem getting a lynch or an action target in. I think this is because of how used everyone is to Smogon Mafia. Normally, you need that day cycle to talk about lynch targets, but in Smogon Mafia the day is generally just a bandwagon vote, and most of the time you are just waiting until you can send in your Night PM.

-----
11. RB Golbat - Mushu - Bodyguard

Player: One of the last villagers to claim to reyscarface, I think. He would've saved billymills from dying to the Well-Armed Men once, but that was during the cycle where their only possible executor was Lord Jesseus, who got lynched. Pretty much got randkilled.
-----
12. Engineer Pikachu - Kanye West - Lynch Hi-Jack
-----
Role: Just had to put Kanye West's meme in this game. This role is pretty damn powerful, as when optimally used it can clean two people (himself and user1) and kill a third, which is obviously why it's a one-timer.
Player: Another late claimer, rey told me he was actually scheduled for the chopping block, but some time later his claim appeared on the sheet. He was a welcome solution to the "Gmax problem" rey had: billy had inspected him, but he and rey knew Gmax would just use his ability the moment it became clear he'd get lynched. Instead of giving Gmax time to contact neutrals and other mafia, they used this one-timer on him, cleaning the Engineer and getting rid of the Chupacabra all in one. Definitely didn't expect that to happen.
-----
13. evan/Exarius - Office Assistant - Hooker
-----
Role: A hooker with some twists. Earlygame, a normal hooker can't randhook without ruining an ally's plan. Later, if a hooker is left in the dark (bad or no village leader), he has the same problem. In such a case, this role can randhook the kill preventing version, and as long as he doesn't hit a busy vigilanté all is okay. The non-kill version can be used on suspect mafioso, especially those who claimed to have no night role, or just to charge the main village vigilanté.
Player: evan claimed and didn't really do a whole lot...I guess his mafia instincts only really work when he is evil! Exarius subbed in when the show was almost over. None of the actions taken really made a difference. He did rack up +1 target on the vigilanté, but the kill that came out of that never saw the daylight due to the higher priority of mafia kills.
-----
14. Veedrock - Kesuke Miyag - Vigilanté
-----

Player: Played pretty aggressively in Cycle 1, demanding a lynch over no lynch. He was quite sure that Aura_Guardian was clean, which was funny to watch, though he didn't publicize the fact that he could kill to anyone but reyscarface. He was going to kill Mr378, but he had lower priority than the mafia kills. This game had quite a lot of prevented and failed kills, and this was just one of them.
-----
15. Staraptor Call - Roadrunner - Priority Check
-----
Role: One of those roles who can't do much except charge the vigilanté. Five was the priority the mafia kills had, but good luck figuring that out, or doing anything meaningful with it.
Player: I might as well stop saying "claimed" because everyone did that...rey for some reason thought he could clean people by having their speed measured. The people he did mark as clean because of it were always clean, so he got away with it, but that definitely could have backfired...
-----

Player: Found that a mysterious third party killed both of his targets (Bass and Altair), then died to said mysterious third party.
-----
18. moot - Gosalyn Mallard - Night PM Checker / Wolf Safeclaim
-----

23. Fishin - RB Golbat - Informative Man
----
Role: RBG the Wikipedia moderator/admin. This was originally going to be just "Wikipedia" but I thought that'd be boring. Anyway, I've used this type in an RTM once, it was quite funny. The facts he'd receive are:
1. The village has access to a limited number of kills, and they require cooperation.
2. There are 15 players aligned with the Things You Find on the Internet.
3. At the start of the game, there were five players aligned with the Things You Find on the Internet with no night action to send in.
4. There is a role in the game that compares someone's "speed" to a certain number. This number is the kill priority of the two evil factions.
5. If someone has been successfully inspected, the result can always be trusted.
6. There are no harmless neutrals in this game.
7. Both the Things You Find on the Internet and one of the evil factions have a role that prevents an inspection from happening.
Granted, I didn't expect him to last seven Cycles, but I had to make up stuff here!
Player: He got all of two fun facts before getting killed by the Monsters. :(

24. porygon3 - Dementor - Inspection Steal - Lynched Day 1
-----
Role: A powerful role, but very untrustable. Ideally, he would have been inspected, and either sacrificed a village inspection to gain a kill, or block a mafia inspection. Hard to do that if he isn't inspected himself, though.
Player: Poor ygon3 always gets left out of the loop in mafia, so he wanted to lead for a change...too bad his role wasn't fit to lead at all. :( He tried his best Day 1, but billymills and Veedrock were both suspicious for him, and he was voted off on a day I expected to see a No Lynch.
-----
Neutrals
1. Amelia - NegaDuck - Wolf
-----
Role: At the risk of sounding arrogant, I think this is one of my favourite wolves I have ever seen in action. Nothing too crazy about his night powers: a kill every night, some kind of investigative ability, and the insurance that he wouldn't die to the mafia's first kill. But that really gives him a shot at winning without relying on falsifying inspection results is the Darkwing Duck safe claim connected to a villager.
Player: Amelia played pretty much how I intended the role: make a Darkwing Duck claim with the Night Command inspect in it, find Gosalyn, and sit back as you're marked down as trusted. Initially he was going to claim to have or receive vigilante powers which he'd lose if he ever killed a villager, but he ended up not doing that, which I thought was a better idea. He was targeted for kills by both mafia factions - once by the Monsters on Cycle 2, when he was still bulletproof, and the fatal time on Cycle 5 by the Well-Armed Men. Some people say he should have contacted the mafia, but to be honest the mafia would have killed him off or sold him out later anyway, at best getting to some sort of Viva-endgame-like-tie. The way he did it now, he just needed to not get hit by mafia randkills. I think I wouldn't have killed Gosalyn though, as this spouted all kinds of twin rumors.

Monsters Which May or May Not Exist
Global Monster PM:
-----
Role: Heh, monsters. Pretty much my standard way of a mafia role PM: a shared part and a personal part. The safeclaims are much less mighty than those in Double Alias, but I still thought they could be useful. I also put some completely useless roles on the village side and told both mafia sides they could just claim that as well, but they all insisted on claiming things like yes/no asker and a BPV that can shoot back. :( The 10 role name list was a good idea, I think, as it allowed me to give them name claims without busting or confirming others. The hook preventor safe claim might not look like much, but if anything they could just use it on themselves for once...and of course, porygon3's role wasn't very village-like either, so I thought hook preventor wasn't too far out of the field. They never really used any of these claims or the list though.
-----
Role: I like this combination of the kidnapper and announcer roles, it's pretty fresh. You can excommunicate people like village leaders and inspectors, prevent someone's role for a cycle, or kidnap one of your own dudes to keep him safe and give him an announcement. I really wanted NOC in because usually all kidnappers and silencers accomplish is preventing someone from voting, but the targets tend to force someone to copypaste their IRC logs, which completely defeats the point.
Player: Genny played very well for a newcomer. With Gmax busy and Altair dead, he had his work cut out for him. Very active, and considering how early most Monsters went, he did most of the role execution as well. Claiming alonketchum13 was a good idea, claiming yes/no asker was not. Though rey insists yes/no askers are generally more restricted, I assure you there's been plenty of times they weren't...but they are essentially inspectors and you can easily be caught lying, plus you risk running into one aligned with the village.
-----
3. Altair - Ho-oh - Inspector (full) - Killed Cycle 1
-----
Role: Standard mafia inspector. Rainbow turkeys rule.
Player: Altair didn't seem to be under much suspicion, but he was the first of the wolf's unfortunate randtargets, robbing the Monsters from getting inspections for the entire game. However, even beyond death he kept leading the Monsters, which was much appreciated by Genny who at times might as well have been on his own otherwise.
-----
-----
Role: A new role. I wanted to put in something to stop crossfire to an extent, and after some deliberation with Earthworm I made this. Even if it doesn't prevent anything, it should theoretically provide you with some info, such as someone from the other mafia who you can then contact to collab kills with.
Player: 378 claimed some powerful 50 cent BPV+vigilante role that wasn't believed at all. He wasn't very active, and his role never worked because only Amelia actually killed mafioso at night. :(
-----
5. Gmax - El Chupacabra - Lynch Preventor
-----
Role: LOOK AT THE DOGGIE! Gave this to Gmax because we both enjoy CHUPACABRA FIGHT (and obviously because he requested to be mafia since he sucks as everything else! HEh).
Player: Was pretty busy apparently, and got inspected by billy very early, and offed Kanye West style by surprise. So basically, didn't do much, couldn't do much. Better next time.
-----
Well-Armed Men With Something To Protect
Global Armed Men PM:
-----
Role: Nothing to say that I haven't already...probably slightly better false claims than the Monsters, but worse roles (vote negator is overall worse than kidnapper, and the Terminator doesn't get entire role PMs like Ho-oh does).
-----
-----
Role: Silencer, except without the "you can't post at all" part, since that doesn't work either for reasons outlined in the Yeti role explanation.
Player: Well, he got on IRC, I guess that's something. Too bad he also told Coronis that Aura Guardian was his last team mate, then didnt't tell his team about this...and also outed himself as mafia to a complete bluff by Rey.
-----
-----
Role: Inspector with somewhat limited data. I liked that idea, it used to be pretty standard...my Apocalypse Mafia inspections never got full role PMs.
Player: Absolutely hilarious. Clearly excited about the game in general, he posted and posted and posted in the thread until everyone was sick of it. Veedrock instantly believed he was a villager, which gave him a close connection to the village. He claimed Jane, a limited inspector that only gets role name and alliance...nobody had a clue about Jane beyond what he told us she was, though. He sat in the channel with shade coming up with new ridiculous ideas every five minutes like a hyperactive child, with shade telling him to sit down and take a deep breath every time until he had an actual sane plan ready. If it weren't for Lord Jesseus, who knows how long he could have gone on...
-----
8. Bass - Tommy Vercetti - Crossfire Preventor
-----
Role: Same as Mr378.
Player: Well, he thought up a good channel name for the Well-Armed Men then died to an Amelia randkill. :(
-----
9. shade - Andrew Schneider - Inspection Preventor
-----
Role: Originally was going to be something stupid and obscure, but one time when we discussed Unicycle Mafia before it started someone brought up Unicycle Drive-By and that video was brought up, and I thought it was much cooler.
Player: I think shade was the best evil player overall with the possible exception of Amelia. He stayed active to help out Aura Guardian even though he died early, but despite all good effort there just wasn't enough left to work with.
-----
Awards
I think awards such as "serial killer" are largely pointless. All it proves is that you had a killing role and you lived long, but it doesn't exactly tell anyone if you played good or bad. So here's some sensible awards.
Hero In Town (Best Villager) - reyscarface
He didn't fuck around. He had the perfect role and situation to lead. He grabbed claims, bothered for results and night targets, and didn't do idiotic things like announcing the next day (cycle)'s plan to tie a lynch. Honorable mention to billymills who played the crucial role of inspector well.
The Real Atagonist (Best Evil Man) - Amelia
Amelia was the only evil person aside from Aura Guardian who 100% went under the radar. Amelia had more claim material to work with, of course, but he also had to do it all on his own.
Comedy Award - THE IRON KENYAN
Awesome lynch pictures. Honorable mention to the Aura Guardian because seeing him flail around was funny as well.
Best Role Execution - Kanye West
billymills (and rey) thought up the redirect-lynch-to-Gmax plan, Engineer Pikachu had the role to do it. Nice job.
Worst Luck - Amelia
Two mafia kills in the first two nights, and an avenging randkill to stop what was going to be a potential wolf-win. Sucks. This really affected all bad sides equally, though, but it all came from this guy.
Best Babysitter - shade
As promised. All those "I think I'll claim naive / neutral / wolf / other mafia / silenced / kidnapped" plans must have been extremely tiresome!
Well as everyone has said, gg all, had a very fun time playing, and thanks for hosting Mekkah.
Also just saying, I love the Cycles, its a great idea.
And btw, billymills was the one who thought of the Engineer Pikachu plan, not me, I just got in contact with him and fixed a few things with it like the change of USER1 and the time to use it, so definitely give him props for that.
Oh and yes, Amelia would have probably won the game if he wasnt killed by mafia, because he was one of the few (read: myself, Flamestrike, billymills and Aura Guardian) that were 100% clean in my spreadsheet mainly because I doubted there was going to be another twin pair and that his claim matched really well with the situation.
Now Genny's claim was excellent, I mean the name claim, because the role was ._. at least in my opinion since I wouldnt think village had that many inspectors.
Mr378 made me laugh with his fake of Fifty Cent because that was such an overpowered role lol.
