Each phase Saidan can privately send the moderator his real vote, which will be secretly counted but not shown in the public vote tally. The votes Saidan casts in the thread will appear in the vote tally, but won't actually count.

[Passive - The Lady Bancroft] - Demetria infiltrated Light's Hope Chapel disguised as the highborn priestess Lady Bancroft, allowing her to communicate with the Knights of the Silver Hand outside the thread. When Demetria dies the Crusade will hide her body to dispose of the evidence, protecting Demetria's corpse against necromancy and causing Demetria to appear as the fake role Lady Bancroft.

[Active - Let Them Eat Cake] - Onyxia schemes to ruin Azeroth by siphoning resources away from the peasants. Each night Onyxia will lower the available amount of votes, permanently forcing 2 players to share 1 vote. If those players cannot agree on how to use their vote, their vote does not count. When Onyxia dies her enemies will raid her lair, retrieving the lost votes.

[Active - Chaos is a Ladder] - Onyxia employs an impressive network of spies and gossips, which she uses to spread fear and suspicion throughout Azeroth. At the end of the night, Onyxia will reveal 1 line of gossip from each private chat in the game. Onyxia can also add 1 fake line of her creation.

Here is her fake role, Anduin Wrynn:

Make sure to check out your faction bonus here. Let me know if you have any questions. The game starts August 7th.
 
Yes, yours was not a survivor wincon, your wincon was just to make sure that town didn't have a complete victory. Admittedly it's a technical victory more than an earned one, but a victory nonetheless.

aha ok.

Being in Scotland and travelling kinda fucked me this game. Plus I didn't think there were 5 night voters and didn't bother to check and stop the lynch - which would have bought me one measly day.

Anyway, thanks for the game.

MVPs and announcements
Reflections

I don't have too much to say because I'm happy with how the game turned out. The town won through hard-earned scumhunting, and the hostile players lost based on their own decisions, not because of any imbalanced or unfair mechanics. I don't feel like the setup needs any changes, although I am interested to hear @Dragon D. Luffy's opinion now that the roles are all out.

As most of you know, I took a year off from mafia, and this was a challenging game to host after being gone for so long. I'm sorry to those of you who experienced mistakes with action processing, like @Katsuargi. Things got back on track after the first cycle, but it was rough going at first, especially due to an an unexpected surge of day abilities - I certainly did not anticipate three one shots being used on day one! I will apply the lessons from this game to future games to ensure they run more smoothly.

Town MVP: Melodie (Mahar Ba)

From my perspective, I thought the Scarlet Crusade would win after day 2. They were the only faction who hadn't lost someone, their cultist enemy was already dead, and Mograine was ready to start his killing spree. Melodie was only going to get the chance to use her 4-person roleblock once, maybe twice the entire game, and she turned the game around by deciding to use it that night and by using it accurately. The town got off to a disastrous start, and Melodie dug them out of it with one excellent decision after another. I have known that Melodie is very good with ability targeting since she won my League of Legends game 3 years ago, but she truly outdid herself here. Given how little information Melodie had to work with on night 2, I doubt there are many other players here that could have played with the decisiveness and accuracy she did. She stuck the landing too, because her followup in the thread over the next 2 days was just as effective as her roleblock. Every step of the way, Melodie had no sense of hesitation. She used her mass roleblock as soon as it as available instead of saving it, hit multiple scum despite it only being night 2, and afterward did not allow herself to be dissuaded from lynching her targets. Sure she loses some style points for becoming belligerent at the end, but she'd already won by then anyway.

Scum MVP: Novaselinenever (Saidan Dathrohan)

Alas, poor Nova. There isn't much to say here: Nova certainly tried harder than any other guilty player, but things fell apart around him. Nova lost from a combination of being outplayed and being the victim of bad luck, but he did not lose for lack of effort, and I appreciate him fighting to his dying breath.

Thanks for playing!

I created this game to commemorate the upcoming re-release of World of Warcraft: Classic on August 27th. Some of us mafia players are starting an Alliance-side guild on the Grobbulus server in North America. If you're interested in joining us, just let me know and we'd be happy to have you.

Announcements

1. Particularly after this game, I figure I must be pretty infamous for death millers and quote mechanics now, so I am officially retiring both types of mechanics from my games for the rest of this year and 2020. You will not see a death miller or abilities that trigger by being quoted in any of my games for the foreseeable future. I feel these mechanics work best as surprises, and no longer serve their purpose now that they are expected from me. I'm hosting Manga Mashup on here next year, so keep this in mind.

2. The next game I host is going to be my fifth Holy Shounen Trinity game in November. However, it will be on a new website called Thriller Bark. If you're interested in playing, expect signups to go up on TB around September/October. My userrname there is Robin.
 
Melodie can be a really good town player just is super lazy in like 95% of games to show it. Part of the jaded crew, like me. It's more surprise at the effort but Shizune games tend to bring out the best in people.

Giiirl Melodie deserves to be jaded

I'm still upset on her behalf from League of Legends 2 when she truthfully claimed survivor day 1 and got lynched for it

If I were her I wouldn't even admit I know y'all anymore!
 
Can you elaborate on what you mean?
In Favorites games you can get away with more not only due to there being a higher amount of scum than other role-madness games, with a higher power scale, but also due to the town not knowing who even made it into the game or what faction each character belongs to. They can attack/out each other without it being as devastating, and due to the power scale the chance that they can kill/investigate each other successfully are lower.

Scum screwing over other scum is less likely and less impactful on average in Favorites is the gist of it.
