The Order of the White Lotus successfully liberates Ba Sing Se, while Sokka, Suki and Toph disable all of the Airships. Katara freezes and chains Azula down, causing her to have a psychotic breakdown, then uses her exceptionally strong healing abilities to revitalize a severely wounded Zuko. During their battle, Ozai inadvertently causes Aang to enter the Avatar State which enables Aang to easily overwhelm Ozai, but Aang is still unwilling to kill him. Using his knowledge from the lion-turtle, Aang invokes a new bending ability called energybending to permanently strip Ozai of his firebending abilities, defeating the Phoenix King without taking his life. Newly appointed Fire Lord Zuko declares the war over, and Aang and his friends celebrate together at Iroh's tea shop in Ba Sing Se. Zuko and Mai reconcile and Zuko confronts his father, angrily demands Ozai tell him where his mother, Ursa, is being kept. Aang and Katara share a loving hug and kiss passionately.
And the cabbage merchant takes his cart happily into the market, able to sell his cabbage without fear of hooligans ruining it at last.
FM Rumpel was lynched. He was Qin Lee, a Kidnapper, Framer, and Chauffeur.
The Gaang and The Cabbage Merchant have won!

-Last Wills-
I was a Citizen. Since I am dead, I want to tell you all the I believe Philie, Goonswarm, Monster, and Severn are probably scum, and would look closely at them. Also, possibly Northstar.
Good luck town.
In favor of keeping direction My LW today is focused on what I think the D4 lynch should be as opposed to giant read walls on everyone. My other reads are kind of vague anyways.
Spy 100% team scum. You have to really look hard to find to find any original contribution or any effort at all to scum hunt. Plenty of bussing Ganon and more than enough for everyone to agree on this guy for the lynch.
5 posts. Only real post he just voiced what others were already saying. Dirty lurker right here with soft attempts to look town
20:44#10 (Fluff)
20:44#11 (Toh post)
10:40#229 (Fluff)
12:14#236 (Soft Fos me/Anti Lynch)
01:17#251 (Mechanics Fluff) So he knows his mechanics..
For D2 his actions could be summed up as a slight push on Ganon, Then jumping over to the Narks train without pushing on narks, Then jumping to Raiden and pushing on him, Then sheeping the monster train. Inbetween there was a soft poke on alpha (After he claimed neutral) with a bunch of fluff and mechanics talk.
I read it as bussing Ganon with zero real scum hunting. Plenty of soft attempts to gain town cred in there.
20:10#3 (Questioning the vig kill on Claw) Fluff
16:18#5 (More on vig kill) Fluff
20:57#12 (Justification) Jumps out of chat quick
11:48#283 (Votes Ganondorf)
11:50#286 (Justifys vote) No questions but adding pressure? Are you lazy or bussing?
04:42#350 (Logic/Fluff)
19:37#429 (Logic/Fluff)
19:41#430 From #250 (Orginizational/Fluff) Zero value at all. Just helping someone find useless information
19:42#431 (Justifies vote) Pushing on Ganon calling his claim reflexive.
08:52#702 (Bussing Ganon but pushing Narks) Strong potential for bussing there. He softly pushed him earlier and jumped over to narks when the lynch got real
08:57#706 (Voteing Narks) Insinuating he may be inclined to switch his vote back. Backtracking?
10:22#730 (Votes on Raiden)
10:54#745 (Pushing on Raiden)
11:01#750 (Calling alpha Hama)
11:08#755 (Logic on Alpha Push)
11:22#759 (Withdraws alpha push)
12:30#794 (Mechanics logic)
12:35#799 (Mechanics Logic)
13:52#847 (Desire to not lynch Ganondorf)
14:26#907 (Votes Narks)
14:38#925 (Pushes on narks) Desire to make him look scummy? Jumped to the conclusion his actions were a lie as opposed to ignorance. Twisting information or tunnel vision?
14:44#929 (Explaining Raiden lynch)
06:49#1092 (Votes Monster)
No real desire to lynch Ganon in there and plenty of keeping ‘other options’ open. As in the last 2 days there’s pretty much no scum hunting or substance in his posts and his only original contributions seem to be mechanics related
20:01#2 (Toph Post) With Toph dead? Post 7 suggests late realization of the grave yard.
20:01#3 (Claims no feedback)
20:04#7 (Who should I lynch) Why would he even consider monster as a target with Toph in the graveyard? Distancing himself from Ganon while insinuating a possible way to keep his scum buddy alive.
21:09#74 (Votes Ganondorf)
21:29#83 (Logic) Clarifying for Ganondorf
21:29#85 (Clarify)
23:31#140 (Push on Narks, Ganon and JackOfSpades) 1 scum and 2 town? Bussing at its best.
23:33#142 (Clarifying for another player)
01:05#171 (Defends Ganondorf)
01:06#172 (Calls Zack a no-show) Shows how much he is paying attention and trying to scum hunt. He doesn’t even know who has been posting)
01:13#173 (Backtracking/Push on Zack)
08:43#196 (Pushes JackofSpades)
10:22#220 (Asking if I was charged) Could suggest he doesn’t have a night chat. Or it could be an attempt to appear as much.
12:12#238 (Logic)
08:15#479 (Misrepresenting information) But 2 posts ago he was asking if I was charged N2. This is a very odd conflict. Maybe getting his lies twisted?
08:18#480 (Not even sure what he means there)
11:17#504 (Fluff) Referencing old games again
13:45#544 (Pushing on JackofSpades)Real lack of any interaction with Ganon today.. Seems focused on anyone but him.
15:17#577 (Mechanics Logic) On Phoenix King
15:23#584 (Logic)
15:25#588 (Mechanics Logic) On Phoenix King
03:28#594 (Mechanics Logic) On phoenix King
17:05#704 (Fluff) Emotionally neutral.
18:44#720 (Insulting JackofSpades) Trying to stir him up instead of talking him down? Looks like you want him to go nuts and kill a bunch of potential town.
19:30#729 (Push on Monster) Some hint of scum hunting. As soft as everything else and without any real substance
19:49#740 (Anti Unvote) To see ganon lynched or coaching other scum?
On N5, I shot FalseTruth because I think he got disguised as by Auckmid. I find it hard to believe that someone who posted explicitly about making a probable code that isn't gibberish would take the UPC code of some catnip brand.
I'm also avoiding the MM by not hitting Monster or Goonswarm who I think need to die. I changed my mind on Monster and don't think he's town after all.

-Awards-
FM MVP: Lysergic as FM Ozymandius
From day one Lysergic was a strong voice of reason and leader for the town. He accurately called out several scum slips and was instrumental in Town's victory. When he died, he left town a last will giving them the plan that gave them the highest chance of victory, which ended up working. Not only that, but he was one of only two players who received both additional roles during the game even though for some reason a lot of people seemed to think he was the magician, which may be the reason he lived as long as he did.
Best Scum: Fatalis as FM Rumpel
Fatalis started the game very strong, convincing many players that he was town. In fact, he was the first player that Aang decided to visit, and he was also Katara's heal target that night. From there, he successfully kept himself low on everyone's scumdar- a few players made note of him, but he was never in any danger of being lynched. In addition, he was the only person other than Ozymandias who managed to get visited by both Aang and Iroh. The day following the visit by Iroh, which also happened to be the same night he was retrained to be a kidnapper, he immediately locked in a jail on Iroh knowing there would be no lynch because of the blackmail suicide the previous day, which aside from killing Iroh, had the additional benefit (though Fatalis didn't necessarily know this at the time) of removing him from his chat with Ozymandias.
Masters of all 4 elements: FM Ozymandius, and FM Rumpel
This might feel slightly redundant now, but we felt another award was needed for these two as they were the only 2 to successfully draw visits from both Aang and Iroh. Rumpel's were a bit needless as the more powerful Chauffeur came in the late end of the game, and Ozymandius' were even more hilarious since he got Professor, and made his Protegee the man who would invite him to the White Lotus the following night. Ozymandius and Vornksr would have 2 chats all to themselves. Moreover, Rumpel took part in 2 chats (Mafia and Jail), and his company in the Jail chat was also Vonksr.
Most Improved Player: Ika as FM Crimson
Ika has always been an alright player in the hosts' eyes. While he might never 'break' a game like he wants, he rarely drags his faction down either. Much to the delight of the Hosts this game, however, Ika really remained Town looking in most player's eyes; enough to gain a visit from Iroh, and had top(h) shelf night actions following getting Detective, up to and including busting over the Cabbage Merchant's cabbage cart to keep the Town in a place to win alongside him. He successfully tracked several Scum throughout the game and was forward but efficient in using it to push on them.
Timing Award: Players of FM 23
Those of you who are less familiar with Avatar might not know this, but the RP for this game was actually taken directly from episodes of the show with some minor revisions on my part. So naturally, we didn't expect that the RP would have anything to do with actual occurrences in the game... But boy were we wrong.
On day 4 (puppetmaster), the RP was about Hama and how the Gaang encountered her. Then in the first moments of the day, Gerik comes out and votes Spy (who had until then been under everyone's radar) citing an extensive read of his posts as evidence that Spy is "100% scum". Then on the following night, Spy caged Yayap, which caused the charge Azula had planned to use to kill her to instead reflect back at Azula instead. In other words, Hama bloodbent a firebender on the same night that the RP mentioned her penchant for bloodbending firebenders. Also of note was that Ozai was lynched on this day, which bring us to day 5...
On day 5 (Day of Black Sun), the RP was about the gaang searching for the firelord and failing to find him, or in other words, literally what was going on in the FM that day as everyone tried to figure out who Ozai had disguised as.
Then on night 5, the night before the RP for the Boiling Rock (Fire Nation prison) was set to be posted, Narks used his newfound caporegime ability to retrain Rumple into a Kidnapper. The name of the Jail Chat? The Boiling Rock.
The Final Day of the Game 'Into the Inferno', as the RP focuses, is most associated with the Agni Kai between Zuko and Azula- with Katara looking on. On that final day we ended with a Fire Nation member, a Town member, and a bystander. In that episode too it was Katara that would secure the victory, just as our onlooker did here.
Aunt Wu Award: Clementine as FM Yayap
In Avatar, Aunt Wu is a fortuneteller that is most well known for predicting that the Volcano would not destroy a nearby Town. The Volcano does, of course, erupt. For bad fortunes and taking action that one thinks will keep them alive, even going so far as to put it in their last will... Clementine gets this award.
Random.org Award: Brendan as FM Slaol and S-FM Earth
Brendan rolled FM Slaol, lucky him, as well as getting Toph Beifong for the major FM. Then in Dead Chat in S-FM Republic City Brendan also ended up randoming into S-FM Earth which was also Toph Beifong. Moreover, Toph is an Earth Bender, and Earth is Slaol's favorite element. It's pretty funny how many things all happened here.
Day & Night Award: Town
Town was perfect 7 for 7 in the day chat lynches as early as Day 3 and including the final day's lynch on Day 10. Sadly the Town was heavily hampered by 7 Town deaths caused by 2 Vigilantes at night. This was fun for the hosts as it brought back memory of FM 16 when Town was Perfect* in the day chat other than a successful Frame by Sir Iknek Blackstone Gerik himself. However, that game also saw all but 1 Town sided night kill teamkill.
*Town also intentionally lynched the Vigilante in the late game when the Witch was controlling him.
Founding of Cabbage Corp Award: NoctiZ as FM S.A.S.Cnl.Alpha
While NoctiZ did give up his chance to Solo-Win, the win we hosts really wanted to happen, he was the first Cabbage Merchant to pull out a victory in our trilogy of games.
Law Abiding Citizens: FM Rumpel, FM Severn, FM S.A.S.Cnl.Alpha
These guys went out of their way to make sure they posted 5 times, even on the final day. For their consistency and adherence to the rules, these guys deserve some credit.
-Host Thoughts on The Game-
Scum:
As you all probably noticed, scum roles/factions were very strong this game. We did this intentionally because we feel that in many FMs the balance is skewed in favor of the town to the point where the game is less about answering the question "Who will win?", but rather "When will town win?" In this game, we wanted to ensure it was the former, so we made scum strong in order to really put pressure on the town to stop them.
As I mentioned in dead chat, Phoenix King might very well be the single most powerful role that has ever existed in a mafia (at least on this site). Immune to detection, night death, AND can survive a lynch. Not to mention the arsonist functionality and the night chat with 5 other people who each have abilities of their own. And the Mass Murderer lives up to his name- he doesn't stop at automatically killing roleblockers that target him- he also killed attackers and then sprees at his house, killing anyone else who is unfortunate enough to visit him the night of the attack, as town learned on night 5.
Hama was easily the weakest evil role/faction, relying on charges in order to act and having no ability to kill on her own. But we balanced this by giving her a win condition that enabled her to win without being the sole survivor or even eliminating town. And the faction she did have to eliminate (fire nation) was also an enemy of the town, so she could rely on town to do at least some of the dirty work for her. So though she may have lacked raw power, she made up for it by having an easier win condition.
Town:
When we were deciding what roles to give the town, we already knew basically what scum was going to look like, so we tried to give town tools to battle them to even the playing field. We decided the Gaang's guaranteed roles were pretty good, but opted to also include a starting lookout and blacksmith to give the town some extra power early on. We also gave Aang some temporary immunity this time around so as to prevent a repeat of last game where he was killed early on and only managed to give out one new role, not to mention Iroh, who was basically a second Aang. This seemed pretty strong for town, so we balanced it by giving the mafia secondary and tertiary roles so that there was increased risk for Aang and Iroh- if they targeted scum, not only would they reveal themselves, but they would also make scum stronger by giving them a new ability.
This turned out pretty well- both Aang and Iroh managed to give out a decent number of powers. And their targets only overlapped twice which resulted in a nice spread of power.
All in all I think our goals for balance this game worked out pretty well. The game took the standard 10 days to complete and at the end every faction had a similar chance to win. There was never a point in the game where one faction was completely dominant and had victory assured. Even on the final day no victory was guaranteed as all 3 living players were of 3 different alignments.
Truthseer
We wanted Toph's role to be something befitting the best earthbender of all time that didn't involve jailing. Thus the truthseer was born. It took us a while to figure out how to balance the role. We brainstormed a few ideas before landing on the iteration that made it into the game. We decided it was pretty balanced because both town and scum have reasons to lie, so finding a lie would not necessarily make a person scum (unless of course Toph was used in exactly the way she was used... more on that later), but Toph would be able to use this to gain information which could be very valuable to her and the rest of the Gaang.
Of course, not long after the setup was posted I had a question in my inbox about how the truthseer role was "gamebreaking" (direct quote) because people could post "I am town" and she could check those posts and find out players' alignment. Though I had other hopes for the role, I saw no reason for this to be considered "gamebreaking" as all this would really do is make Toph into a sheriff. A role that has been around as long as mafia itself and is included in nearly every FM. And if she was used this way, she would be weaker than a typical sheriff because she would have to rely on people to make posts specifically for her to check their alignment AND they would have to do that every single day. If anyone forgets or chooses not to do it, too bad. I was a bit disappointed it didn't get to do more. I feel that truthseer is a very interesting role that has a lot of possibilities in terms of the information it can get. But Toph died early and didn't get to do as much as I'd hoped. Oh well. That's FMs for you!
In any case, I hope you all enjoyed playing the game. We certainly enjoyed hosting it.
The Order of the White Lotus successfully liberates Ba Sing Se, while Sokka, Suki and Toph disable all of the Airships. Katara freezes and chains Azula down, causing her to have a psychotic breakdown, then uses her exceptionally strong healing abilities to revitalize a severely wounded Zuko. During their battle, Ozai inadvertently causes Aang to enter the Avatar State which enables Aang to easily overwhelm Ozai, but Aang is still unwilling to kill him. Using his knowledge from the lion-turtle, Aang invokes a new bending ability called energybending to permanently strip Ozai of his firebending abilities, defeating the Phoenix King without taking his life. Newly appointed Fire Lord Zuko declares the war over, and Aang and his friends celebrate together at Iroh's tea shop in Ba Sing Se. Zuko and Mai reconcile and Zuko confronts his father, angrily demands Ozai tell him where his mother, Ursa, is being kept. Aang and Katara share a loving hug and kiss passionately.
And the cabbage merchant takes his cart happily into the market, able to sell his cabbage without fear of hooligans ruining it at last.
FM Rumpel was lynched. He was Qin Lee, a Kidnapper, Framer, and Chauffeur.
The Gaang and The Cabbage Merchant have won!

-Last Wills-
I was a Citizen. Since I am dead, I want to tell you all the I believe Philie, Goonswarm, Monster, and Severn are probably scum, and would look closely at them. Also, possibly Northstar.
Good luck town.
In favor of keeping direction My LW today is focused on what I think the D4 lynch should be as opposed to giant read walls on everyone. My other reads are kind of vague anyways.
Spy 100% team scum. You have to really look hard to find to find any original contribution or any effort at all to scum hunt. Plenty of bussing Ganon and more than enough for everyone to agree on this guy for the lynch.
5 posts. Only real post he just voiced what others were already saying. Dirty lurker right here with soft attempts to look town
20:44#10 (Fluff)
20:44#11 (Toh post)
10:40#229 (Fluff)
12:14#236 (Soft Fos me/Anti Lynch)
01:17#251 (Mechanics Fluff) So he knows his mechanics..
For D2 his actions could be summed up as a slight push on Ganon, Then jumping over to the Narks train without pushing on narks, Then jumping to Raiden and pushing on him, Then sheeping the monster train. Inbetween there was a soft poke on alpha (After he claimed neutral) with a bunch of fluff and mechanics talk.
I read it as bussing Ganon with zero real scum hunting. Plenty of soft attempts to gain town cred in there.
20:10#3 (Questioning the vig kill on Claw) Fluff
16:18#5 (More on vig kill) Fluff
20:57#12 (Justification) Jumps out of chat quick
11:48#283 (Votes Ganondorf)
11:50#286 (Justifys vote) No questions but adding pressure? Are you lazy or bussing?
04:42#350 (Logic/Fluff)
19:37#429 (Logic/Fluff)
19:41#430 From #250 (Orginizational/Fluff) Zero value at all. Just helping someone find useless information
19:42#431 (Justifies vote) Pushing on Ganon calling his claim reflexive.
08:52#702 (Bussing Ganon but pushing Narks) Strong potential for bussing there. He softly pushed him earlier and jumped over to narks when the lynch got real
08:57#706 (Voteing Narks) Insinuating he may be inclined to switch his vote back. Backtracking?
10:22#730 (Votes on Raiden)
10:54#745 (Pushing on Raiden)
11:01#750 (Calling alpha Hama)
11:08#755 (Logic on Alpha Push)
11:22#759 (Withdraws alpha push)
12:30#794 (Mechanics logic)
12:35#799 (Mechanics Logic)
13:52#847 (Desire to not lynch Ganondorf)
14:26#907 (Votes Narks)
14:38#925 (Pushes on narks) Desire to make him look scummy? Jumped to the conclusion his actions were a lie as opposed to ignorance. Twisting information or tunnel vision?
14:44#929 (Explaining Raiden lynch)
06:49#1092 (Votes Monster)
No real desire to lynch Ganon in there and plenty of keeping ‘other options’ open. As in the last 2 days there’s pretty much no scum hunting or substance in his posts and his only original contributions seem to be mechanics related
20:01#2 (Toph Post) With Toph dead? Post 7 suggests late realization of the grave yard.
20:01#3 (Claims no feedback)
20:04#7 (Who should I lynch) Why would he even consider monster as a target with Toph in the graveyard? Distancing himself from Ganon while insinuating a possible way to keep his scum buddy alive.
21:09#74 (Votes Ganondorf)
21:29#83 (Logic) Clarifying for Ganondorf
21:29#85 (Clarify)
23:31#140 (Push on Narks, Ganon and JackOfSpades) 1 scum and 2 town? Bussing at its best.
23:33#142 (Clarifying for another player)
01:05#171 (Defends Ganondorf)
01:06#172 (Calls Zack a no-show) Shows how much he is paying attention and trying to scum hunt. He doesn’t even know who has been posting)
01:13#173 (Backtracking/Push on Zack)
08:43#196 (Pushes JackofSpades)
10:22#220 (Asking if I was charged) Could suggest he doesn’t have a night chat. Or it could be an attempt to appear as much.
12:12#238 (Logic)
08:15#479 (Misrepresenting information) But 2 posts ago he was asking if I was charged N2. This is a very odd conflict. Maybe getting his lies twisted?
08:18#480 (Not even sure what he means there)
11:17#504 (Fluff) Referencing old games again
13:45#544 (Pushing on JackofSpades)Real lack of any interaction with Ganon today.. Seems focused on anyone but him.
15:17#577 (Mechanics Logic) On Phoenix King
15:23#584 (Logic)
15:25#588 (Mechanics Logic) On Phoenix King
03:28#594 (Mechanics Logic) On phoenix King
17:05#704 (Fluff) Emotionally neutral.
18:44#720 (Insulting JackofSpades) Trying to stir him up instead of talking him down? Looks like you want him to go nuts and kill a bunch of potential town.
19:30#729 (Push on Monster) Some hint of scum hunting. As soft as everything else and without any real substance
19:49#740 (Anti Unvote) To see ganon lynched or coaching other scum?
On N5, I shot FalseTruth because I think he got disguised as by Auckmid. I find it hard to believe that someone who posted explicitly about making a probable code that isn't gibberish would take the UPC code of some catnip brand.
I'm also avoiding the MM by not hitting Monster or Goonswarm who I think need to die. I changed my mind on Monster and don't think he's town after all.
Guess I'm dead. Well here's this again:

-Awards-
FM MVP: Lysergic as FM Ozymandius
From day one Lysergic was a strong voice of reason and leader for the town. He accurately called out several scum slips and was instrumental in Town's victory. When he died, he left town a last will giving them the plan that gave them the highest chance of victory, which ended up working. Not only that, but he was one of only two players who received both additional roles during the game even though for some reason a lot of people seemed to think he was the magician, which may be the reason he lived as long as he did.
Best Scum: Fatalis as FM Rumpel
Fatalis started the game very strong, convincing many players that he was town. In fact, he was the first player that Aang decided to visit, and he was also Katara's heal target that night. From there, he successfully kept himself low on everyone's scumdar- a few players made note of him, but he was never in any danger of being lynched. In addition, he was the only person other than Ozymandias who managed to get visited by both Aang and Iroh. The day following the visit by Iroh, which also happened to be the same night he was retrained to be a kidnapper, he immediately locked in a jail on Iroh knowing there would be no lynch because of the blackmail suicide the previous day, which aside from killing Iroh, had the additional benefit (though Fatalis didn't necessarily know this at the time) of removing him from his chat with Ozymandias.
Masters of all 4 elements: FM Ozymandius, and FM Rumpel
This might feel slightly redundant now, but we felt another award was needed for these two as they were the only 2 to successfully draw visits from both Aang and Iroh. Rumpel's were a bit needless as the more powerful Chauffeur came in the late end of the game, and Ozymandius' were even more hilarious since he got Professor, and made his Protegee the man who would invite him to the White Lotus the following night. Ozymandius and Vornksr would have 2 chats all to themselves. Moreover, Rumpel took part in 2 chats (Mafia and Jail), and his company in the Jail chat was also Vonksr.
Most Improved Player: Ika as FM Crimson
Ika has always been an alright player in the hosts' eyes. While he might never 'break' a game like he wants, he rarely drags his faction down either. Much to the delight of the Hosts this game, however, Ika really remained Town looking in most player's eyes; enough to gain a visit from Iroh, and had top(h) shelf night actions following getting Detective, up to and including busting over the Cabbage Merchant's cabbage cart to keep the Town in a place to win alongside him. He successfully tracked several Scum throughout the game and was forward but efficient in using it to push on them.
Timing Award: Players of FM 23
Those of you who are less familiar with Avatar might not know this, but the RP for this game was actually taken directly from episodes of the show with some minor revisions on my part. So naturally, we didn't expect that the RP would have anything to do with actual occurrences in the game... But boy were we wrong.
On day 4 (puppetmaster), the RP was about Hama and how the Gaang encountered her. Then in the first moments of the day, Gerik comes out and votes Spy (who had until then been under everyone's radar) citing an extensive read of his posts as evidence that Spy is "100% scum". Then on the following night, Spy caged Yayap, which caused the charge Azula had planned to use to kill her to instead reflect back at Azula instead. In other words, Hama bloodbent a firebender on the same night that the RP mentioned her penchant for bloodbending firebenders. Also of note was that Ozai was lynched on this day, which bring us to day 5...
On day 5 (Day of Black Sun), the RP was about the gaang searching for the firelord and failing to find him, or in other words, literally what was going on in the FM that day as everyone tried to figure out who Ozai had disguised as.
Then on night 5, the night before the RP for the Boiling Rock (Fire Nation prison) was set to be posted, Narks used his newfound caporegime ability to retrain Rumple into a Kidnapper. The name of the Jail Chat? The Boiling Rock.
The Final Day of the Game 'Into the Inferno', as the RP focuses, is most associated with the Agni Kai between Zuko and Azula- with Katara looking on. On that final day we ended with a Fire Nation member, a Town member, and a bystander. In that episode too it was Katara that would secure the victory, just as our onlooker did here.
Aunt Wu Award: Clementine as FM Yayap
In Avatar, Aunt Wu is a fortuneteller that is most well known for predicting that the Volcano would not destroy a nearby Town. The Volcano does, of course, erupt. For bad fortunes and taking action that one thinks will keep them alive, even going so far as to put it in their last will... Clementine gets this award.
Random.org Award: Brendan as FM Slaol and S-FM Earth
Brendan rolled FM Slaol, lucky him, as well as getting Toph Beifong for the major FM. Then in Dead Chat in S-FM Republic City Brendan also ended up randoming into S-FM Earth which was also Toph Beifong. Moreover, Toph is an Earth Bender, and Earth is Slaol's favorite element. It's pretty funny how many things all happened here.
Day & Night Award: Town
Town was perfect 7 for 7 in the day chat lynches as early as Day 3 and including the final day's lynch on Day 10. Sadly the Town was heavily hampered by 7 Town deaths caused by 2 Vigilantes at night. This was fun for the hosts as it brought back memory of FM 16 when Town was Perfect* in the day chat other than a successful Frame by Sir Iknek Blackstone Gerik himself. However, that game also saw all but 1 Town sided night kill teamkill.
*Town also intentionally lynched the Vigilante in the late game when the Witch was controlling him.
Founding of Cabbage Corp Award: NoctiZ as FM S.A.S.Cnl.Alpha
While NoctiZ did give up his chance to Solo-Win, the win we hosts really wanted to happen, he was the first Cabbage Merchant to pull out a victory in our trilogy of games.
Law Abiding Citizens: FM Rumpel, FM Severn, FM S.A.S.Cnl.Alpha
These guys went out of their way to make sure they posted 5 times, even on the final day. For their consistency and adherence to the rules, these guys deserve some credit.
-Host Thoughts on The Game-
Scum:
As you all probably noticed, scum roles/factions were very strong this game. We did this intentionally because we feel that in many FMs the balance is skewed in favor of the town to the point where the game is less about answering the question "Who will win?", but rather "When will town win?" In this game, we wanted to ensure it was the former, so we made scum strong in order to really put pressure on the town to stop them.
As I mentioned in dead chat, Phoenix King might very well be the single most powerful role that has ever existed in a mafia (at least on this site). Immune to detection, night death, AND can survive a lynch. Not to mention the arsonist functionality and the night chat with 5 other people who each have abilities of their own. And the Mass Murderer lives up to his name- he doesn't stop at automatically killing roleblockers that target him- he also killed attackers and then sprees at his house, killing anyone else who is unfortunate enough to visit him the night of the attack, as town learned on night 5.
Hama was easily the weakest evil role/faction, relying on charges in order to act and having no ability to kill on her own. But we balanced this by giving her a win condition that enabled her to win without being the sole survivor or even eliminating town. And the faction she did have to eliminate (fire nation) was also an enemy of the town, so she could rely on town to do at least some of the dirty work for her. So though she may have lacked raw power, she made up for it by having an easier win condition.
Town:
When we were deciding what roles to give the town, we already knew basically what scum was going to look like, so we tried to give town tools to battle them to even the playing field. We decided the Gaang's guaranteed roles were pretty good, but opted to also include a starting lookout and blacksmith to give the town some extra power early on. We also gave Aang some temporary immunity this time around so as to prevent a repeat of last game where he was killed early on and only managed to give out one new role, not to mention Iroh, who was basically a second Aang. This seemed pretty strong for town, so we balanced it by giving the mafia secondary and tertiary roles so that there was increased risk for Aang and Iroh- if they targeted scum, not only would they reveal themselves, but they would also make scum stronger by giving them a new ability.
This turned out pretty well- both Aang and Iroh managed to give out a decent number of powers. And their targets only overlapped twice which resulted in a nice spread of power.
All in all I think our goals for balance this game worked out pretty well. The game took the standard 10 days to complete and at the end every faction had a similar chance to win. There was never a point in the game where one faction was completely dominant and had victory assured. Even on the final day no victory was guaranteed as all 3 living players were of 3 different alignments.
Truthseer
We wanted Toph's role to be something befitting the best earthbender of all time that didn't involve jailing. Thus the truthseer was born. It took us a while to figure out how to balance the role. We brainstormed a few ideas before landing on the iteration that made it into the game. We decided it was pretty balanced because both town and scum have reasons to lie, so finding a lie would not necessarily make a person scum (unless of course Toph was used in exactly the way she was used... more on that later), but Toph would be able to use this to gain information which could be very valuable to her and the rest of the Gaang.
Of course, not long after the setup was posted I had a question in my inbox about how the truthseer role was "gamebreaking" (direct quote) because people could post "I am town" and she could check those posts and find out players' alignment. Though I had other hopes for the role, I saw no reason for this to be considered "gamebreaking" as all this would really do is make Toph into a sheriff. A role that has been around as long as mafia itself and is included in nearly every FM. And if she was used this way, she would be weaker than a typical sheriff because she would have to rely on people to make posts specifically for her to check their alignment AND they would have to do that every single day. If anyone forgets or chooses not to do it, too bad. I was a bit disappointed it didn't get to do more. I feel that truthseer is a very interesting role that has a lot of possibilities in terms of the information it can get. But Toph died early and didn't get to do as much as I'd hoped. Oh well. That's FMs for you!
In any case, I hope you all enjoyed playing the game. We certainly enjoyed hosting it.
