Its all so obvious now said the Heir, ... its been you this whole time!

No! I would never this is a mistake! responded the Videographer.

Its time for this to end. said the Racer. I cant believe all of those people!

No I NO!

The Videographer was quickly overtaken by the three others. Within moments, he was dead.

... And then there were three.

... Thats it, huh? said the Heir.

Yeah I didnt think it would be so easy. said the Painter.

Easy? We almost all died. replied the Racer.

Yes but dont you see? Were alive. And instead of splitting the Dignitarys fortune twenty-two ways we get to split it three.

Thats uh a little morose, dont you think? said the Heir.

Well, the plan was always to split it five ways. Three is much better, dont you think?

As the realization hit the Racer, their mouth opened wide, a look of terror crossing their face. You how could you?!

Hmm good point. The painter pulled a gun from his jacket and the Heir only had time to scream before he pulled the trigger. As the (OTHER TOWN)s body fell to the floor, he continued speaking. ... two ways is much better than three. Dont you agree?

... This whole time it was you? said the Heir.

Of course. And might I say you all did a terrible job. But no matter Im out of bullets, and theres only two of us. And were both making more than ten times more than we were going to originally.

But but why? the Heir fell to their knees.

... Maybe its just an addiction. After all, my first fortune was made with foul play a bullet in the back of my employer. Another in the stomach of the man who had come to confront him. An easily staged murder-suicide. Nobody was the wiser. He had just fired most of his staff, and had no family so easy inheritance.

But here?

Right, I wanted more. And a measly cut of the Dignitarys fortune wasnt enough for me. So I gathered those I knew were greedy the Actress, the Heiress, the Teacher. The Reporter lucked in to finding out, but agreed to help for his own share. This could have gone swimmingly but they had to include the Oaf. Serves them right. Now theyre dead, and Im richer.

The Heir looked up. They got to their feet, and charged at the Painter.

One gunshot rang out.

As the Heir fell to the floor, the Painter laughed. Did you really think I was out of bullets? Fool. And here I was, offering to split it all.

The Heir clutched their stomach as they bled out.

Lopen has been lynched! He was
The size and gray color of an elephant, with the truculent stance of a rhino. The horns above each eye curved five feet into the air, looking almost like inverted elephant tusks. A third, rhino-like born was located near the nose. And they had the beaky snout of a rhino.

You are a triceratops (Jurassic Park), TOWN Villager. Brought back through cloning experiments by John Hammonds company InGen, you are planned to live out your life on Isla Nublar where you will be one of the attractions at the new resort Jurassic Park. Along with other dinosaurs, you will awaken the imagination and delight of visitors from all over the world. Im sure theres no way this can go wrong!

As a TOWN Villager, you have no additional powers.


puns has died in endgame! He was
American writer noted for her examination of black experience (particularly black female experience) within the black community. She received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993.
~~~
You are Toni Morrison, TOWN Villager. A prominent voice for black women, you are best known for your novel, Beloved. Nowadays, you are a professor emeritus at Princeton and continue to be an essayist concerning modern affairs.

As a TOWN Villager, you have no additional powers.


SBell has died in endgame! He was
Jim had a hair-ball as big as your fist, which had been took out of the fourth stomach of an ox, and he used to do magic with it. He said there was a spirit inside of it, and it knowed everything.
~~~

You are Jim (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn), TOWN Villager. Despite your poor lot in life, you have a good heart and a practical maturity. Though a little superstitious, theres not much you wont do for the sake of your friends.

As a TOWN Villager, you have no additional powers.


As the Painter walked to the hidden speedboat, he smirked. He had the will in his hands, and with it, the ways to access the vast fortune. And the best part is, he didnt have to share it with anyone.

Ulti has won! He was...
The gardener, the last one of Gatsbys former servants, came to the foot of the steps.

Im going to drain the pool to-day, Mr. Gatsby. Leavesll start falling pretty soon, and then theres always trouble with the pipes.
```
It was after we started with Gatsby toward the house that the gardener saw Wilsons body a little way off in the grass, and the holocaust was complete.

~~~
You are the Gardener (The Great Gatsby), MAFIA Godfather. Despite what basic literary analysis would tell you, the avid reader knows youre the one who killed Gatsby. An elegant ploy, orchestrated to frame the husband of his mistress and remove all doubt from the equation or at least, thats what 10th grade me liked to say.

During the game, you scan as TOWN to any scanning roles. After all, who would suspect the gardener?

Your victory is accomplished when the MAFIA acquires the numbers to make winning inevitable.


MAFIA win!
UltimaterializerX has won!
Red13n has won!
Luis_Sera has won!
HtaeD has won!
Pezloco has won!

Thank you all for playing!

Let me just say.

I have never seen Town absolutely destroy Scum as hard as they did this game.

Every single Scum was scanned or lynched before day 3.

I felt really bad.

I LOVED the idea of the setup without Ben being cop. Everything else relied on reads. Three different protection roles for scum to try to get around. But luckily for us, while town power did awesome at night they failed to lead the game during the day.

Yeah, We scanned Lolo as Lily and guessed BG. I tried to scan Corrik and Tom redirected me to himself. With both of those facts we deduced Taunter, thanks Luis. Then the scans didn't matter as much.

Got1 was worse

Death shot day 1
Tange lynched day 1
Kill blocked night 1
Ulti lynched day 2
Dels lynched day 3 (scanned)
Vamp lynched day 4

5 scum dead in 4 days and only 2 dead towns. There was never a greater town win imho. And only one of those guys got scanned.

i feel like my one frustration is, when you hit endgame and you know it's 5 scum in 20, then you know last scum is godfather and all scans are meaningless.

meanwhile ulti is just super "there" forever.

also no no lynch makes me shrug.

Anyway at least my vote was on the right guy in the end. Moral victory. I mean it was only down to Ulti and SBell so 50/50, but realistically I had ruled out Puns even before hammering because it would have been too easy for him to just win by killing SBell, or even Ulti, into final 3. Going no kill is just overcomplicating.

And I know you guys won't actually believe this but the main reason I voted SBell early that last day was to see how Ulti would react to the vote. I didn't have a ton of conviction in that at any point, but I wanted to see if Ulti would pretend to humor not wanting me to die or if he'd still vote me early-- may have been a misplay though as putting SBell on the defensive may have made him irrational, but whatever-- I wasn't sure he wasn't the scum either, you know? I don't think anyone suspecting Puns made much sense so Ulti being skittish with his vote didn't seem to make sense as town.

I want to explain the night actions. Particularly to Corrik who accused us of bad night kills and that we shouldn't rely on killing the best players but hunt for power.

I think every single one of our kills was a must kill with the exception of Scare. You can debate the order of course. But Chris was confirmed town with how he killed Luis and we killed him n2 not n1. Dowolf confirmed town. Tom, Corrik, Lolo, Ben, and 5tar all power roles. Corrik more or less confirmed himself so he had to die even though he didn't prevent death. Ben and 5tar while useless as scanners when they were killed were again confirmed town and needed to die before the end of the game. Tom had to die because he effectively became a scanner the night that we killed him. The only death that didn't have to happen was Scare. But if we had killed someone else, it probably wouldn't have been Ben or 5tar. I don't think either of them telegraphed their power. So maybe we take a lucky shot at Lolo? We did scan him. That would've been better. But that would've been luck not skill.

The only kill I regret, I wish we had killed Corrik before Lolo.
