That'll be the Treestump role's cause. The Treestump isn't counted among the living town players when deciding if town has the numbers to win a game--since it can't vote and all.

You just have less to compare it to is all.

This game definitely doesn't top CYOR I, but it's a good lesson for everyone. I still don't know why almost everyone went for the roleblocker abilities, but I do need to learn to not be afraid to push back start dates when more balancing is needed. I suppose having this game on the backburner since December didn't help in that regard.

Welcome back, Commander.

You might recognize him better as iLiketoTellScum, as Vertigo put it in one of the google docs a few games back.

Marvel might be preferable though because INFINITY WAR HYPE!

Ditto, but I'll still play both.

I’m in. Also, @iLikeToSnipe, you’re up!

The only official scum role I'm aware of that can do it is the Yakuza. The mechanic is that the Yakuza chooses a player and dies, and the target becomes a Vanilla Mafia.

Definitely go for it, I'd say. I know a certain someone who will most likely join it.

Shade didn't know that.

I've asked around and haven't heard anything, although I do know a few of us can host Basics games until the next "big" one.

Hey, I offered role request advice at the end of the trainwreck that was CYOR II. Only a few took it.

Actually, you guys managed to create it. When CYOR IV comes around I'm not going to ask for actions, only characters and bios and preferred alignment and role type. True but he never cooked it!

Yup.

That was to make you guys seem more powerful than you actually were, since there was no alignment cop in the game.

GAME END Due to the outcomes listed above, it would be a waste of time to prolong the inevitable. Neither Nodlied nor Retaliation's bulletproof abilities could prevent a scum win in the end, and so Outcome 1 was used. CYOR III Data Sheet CYOR III Scumdoc CYOR III Abomination Doc CYOR III Masonry Doc (OrangeP47 & Killing_You N1) As I stated in the Abomination Doc, the real problem with this game is my failure to see the issues with the treestump role and third party win condition. Treestump meant shorter game length, while Frankenstein's win condition really only worked for a longer game. This is a result of ChopBam requesting his role close to the last minute (I believe). Still, I don't blame him for choosing a treestump. It's a valuable role for town when used correctly. Another problem town had is too many roleblocker requests. I had to say no to a few initial requests. In the future, I will likely just ask for a character name and background, which will allow me to select roles the characters would fit best and also bring the proper balancing roles into the setup (aka "where was the doctor in CYOR III?") Second, wow you all let Shade939 distract you for too long. This coupled with the Treestump meant scum victory was certain by the end of Day 2. Shade939 gets an honorary scum award for that performance.

Update to the above in Night 4 possible outcomes.

Night 3 Outcome: Killing_You has died, and TheIrishMan's corpse is missing. Current Vote Count Category 5 Hurricane voted no one ChopBam voted [BLOCKED] Nodlied voted no one OrangeP47 voted no one Retaliation voted no one Sunflower voted no one Determining possible outcomes: Living players Category 5 Hurricane/Retaliation/Nodlied ChopBam [BLOCKED] OrangeP47 Sunflower Night 4 Possible Outcome: Since the Abomination would logically go for their win condition, as town cannot win, Outcome 1 will be used. GAME END POST COMING SOON.

@TheIrishman

Still calculating. Meanwhile, as a hint, TheIrishMan be like:

Edit: I am double checking resolutions and still working. Stay tuned for updates.

Due to the targets chosen in the night actions for Night 3, I have determined that there is no possible way for town to prevent a loss during Day 4. The game will therefore end after I send all resolutions for existing night actions (the missing actions aren't necessary). I will then make the game-end post and publish all docs.

Since it's the weekend and I presume everyone would prefer more time today, I can start the day phase earlier than the usual if I receive one more night action and one confirmation of a night action. Once I receive these, I'll resolve ASAP and start the next day phase.
