By the way, how did **Cookies** ’ role really work? And what was the Trickster, a redirector?

Can anyone help me set up my Wiki? I heard it was giving us malware lately. Has that been fixed?

Uh, if you know a game I was in that I forgot, please let me know. 🙂

My win/loss records is:

\*\*Colorless: Lost as Town(vanilla)

Random: Won as Scum

Evil Dead II: Won as Town(census taker)

Halloween Mafia Extravaganza: Won as Town(weak doctor)\*\*

**Malazan: Lost as……well, most of us lost(this was not a regular mafia game).**

The trickster’s powers were as follows:

> POWERS:
> 
> 1. You may meet with your fellow Deadites at the URL given above, and may talk there about any subject by Day or by Night.
> 
> 2. If you wish, you may execute the Scum kill on any given Night during which you do not use any of your special powers (see below).
> 
> 3. You have a number of powers designed to confuse, frustrate, and deceive your enemies. Below is a list of the powers from which you may choose, each of which may be used only once.

Of all of these interesting powers, I used one. I sent a message to Telcontar giving him two non-scum targets to choose from so he could join our team. His kill attempt on Normal Phase killed Chipacabra instead, but it didn’t truly matter… he joined us without killing one of us in the process.

One question I had was, what good is Confusion? Tons of folks would immediately catch the dummy votes, and I don’t think they’d sway anyone’s mind.

1. Townie thinks vote-charge target is scum. The townie would be convinced it’s a play to make his target look more innocent (that is, the victim of a conspiracy) and use it as evidence of their guilt.
2. Townie thinks vote-charge target is town. Clearly, he’s the victim of a scum ploy to get the target lynched, and they’d use it as evidence of the target’s innocence.

In both cases, people aren’t swayed. So what good is this power? Am I right that folks wouldn’t be swayed, or would that be cicumstantial evidence that would get you to change your mind? I just can’t see the point of that power.

Cookies role was essentially as i reported, apart from only one spawn could be implanted at a time. once all 3 spawn had been implanted and died (due to host death) Cookies was toast.

Night 1 was a mandatory host selection at which point I selected Stan. At the time, I thought perhaps he was a Mason with NAF, because he supported NAF’s idea to keep the book, which seemed possible PIS-based trust to me. Night 2, I killed Omi. Night 3, I tried to kill Ed. Night 4, I again went after Ed. Night 5, I did nothing.

Wow! Suddenly it’s all over.

Sorry about your troubles, Nanook. Hope everything smooths out for you.

Yeah, a lucky game for town there. Can’t give enough credit to Tom for the win, which must be a little galling for him.

Off to read the spoiler boards and see how bad my assumptions about Normal’s role were. It was good having you as a fellow Mason, I’m just sorry I jumped the gun on the reveal.

Thanks.

I need to add the brillian Inblorious Gasterds game, another one that was difficult to win.

Maybe you need to register for an account first? It works for me, but I already had one, from Malazan.

You didn’t really, I was teetering on the edge of revealing anyway due to my misunderstanding of _your_ role (and the Mahaloth thing, which revealed me as some sort of investigator regardless). And then all the claims started coming and I needed your numbers anyway.

Amazing the two third parties hit scum so much. Including the double kill and the aborted night three, you collectively targeted scum five times and town only once. Actual death toll was two scum, one town.
