Pregame, Set-Up, & Rules

As moderator Sugar described the players as being lost Bahamian tourists who somehow ended up in Rome. As the game lacked a Night 0, Sugar made a NPC Bahamian tourguide the victim of a murder to set the mood.

The setup for Newbie 5 featured a 7-player C9 setup. This setup includes 2 mafia goons, 1 cop, 1 doctor, and 3 vanilla townies.

Sugar listed the following rules:

• Votes must be in bold. If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.
  
• Please "unvote", if necessary, before casting a new vote.
  
• A lynch will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, nothing will stop the inevitable.
  
• You may "vote: no lynch". Majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without one.
  
• The game is not to be discussed outside of the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so.
  
• Do not post in this game unless you are playing, active and alive, until it is officially over.
  
• Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts.
  
• Don’t directly quote any PMs from me.
  
• If you have any questions, please PM them to me. I will not answer any question asked of me in the thread. Do not directly quote any PMed answers from me.
  
• If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. If you fail to get your choice in, none will be made.
  
• If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment to all of us. If you feel you must be replaced for whatever reason, please notify me via PM.
  
• Remember that this is a game, intended to be enjoyable for everyone. I hope you'll play to win, without giving in to name-calling or general meanness.
  
• To preserve the integrity of the game, refrain from discussing your role and/or game happenings with any of the other players, active or inactive, as long as the game is still running.
  
• If in doubt, PM the mod!
  

Day/Night 1

Day 1 ended with the lynching of Flying Dutchman, a vanilla townie.

A turning point on Day 1 was the near-lynching of Vraak X. Someone had accidentaly posted in this game instead of Newbie 4, so the 4th vote on Vraak X was actually the third. Vraak X has claimed cop after he thought he was lynched, so everyone backed off the vote. Things went back and forth until Fishbulb posted a argument against Flying Dutchman. Dutchman didn't argue his innocent very well and gave up after 3 votes, thinking he was lynched.

Day 1 was 25 days, 10 hours, 12 minutes and lasted 110 posts.

Night 1 ended with the reveal that Fishbulb, a vanilla townie, had been night-killed. Vraak X had investigated Fishbulb and received no result due to Fishbulb's death. Morpheus, the town doctor, presumably protected Vraak X, but never explicitly stated so.

Night 1 lasted 3 days, 11 hours, 30 minutes.

Day 2

Day 2 ended with the lynching of Mr_Gnome_It_All, a vanilla townie.

Mr_Gnome_It_All had a low post count for Day 1 and most of Day 2. When he posted, he claimed to have nothing to add and voted randomly for Vraak X, the town cop. Mr_Gnome_It_All recanted the vote, but too many people found it suspicious. He was lynched.

Day 2 lasted 8 days, 1 hour, 22 minutes and lasted 41 posts.
