Doctor Willenloss and his splendid invention, or... [Concluded]

[Jarema]

Doctor Willenloss and his splendid invention, or how I learned to stop worrying and I love the time machine.

Munisch. Little town in the middle of Central America. Home to German emigrants and their children. And, of course, some other people.
Weather is mild and peaceful here. Town inhabitants are content to live simple, silent lives. Well, at least most of them.
“Commies, [bleep]ing commies! Merciful God, please wipe this red plague from the face of our poor planet!” Doctor Willenloss was in one of his bad moods. “Or I will eliminate them myself!. Yes, yes... that is what I have to do... McCarthy would be grateful, little silly man...” doctors yells hushed to mumbling. He allowed his assistants to take him back to the laboratory.
Adele, as always, took care of world-weary genius. He relaxed, letting her stroke his hand, and his assistants maintaining his machines. Especialy THE Machine. Machine, which soon be used for changing world history.
This was the biggest of old doctor's inventions. Machine that could be used to travel in time. Not only to travel, but also to change it. Remake. Doctor wanted to use it for changing events that shaped first decades of twentieth century. But the Machine was still only a prototype, which allowed only very limited time travels – for a maximum of three days. During last month doctor Willenloss and his assistants were working hard on this problem. Doctor even asked his son, professor Willess, for help, despite old enmity between this two men. But only a scientist can understand another scientist.
Limited range of machine operation was not the only problem. There were others, who wanted to use the machine for their own goals, among them members of Communist movement, so hated by old doctor. It was not known by him, but their agents inflitrated even the ranks of his closest collaborators...


Welcome to my small mafia game for 16-20 players.
Some basics:
game main new mechanic would be time machine, which could be operated by some characters. Details would not be described here, but expect that some actions and their results (even death!) may be reversed ("rewinded")
second thing: there would be gender of characters, It may become important, as: "you saw that your target was visited by a woman"
third: every character would have at least minor role (no vanilla townies); every character would have a name. Names may appear at descriptions of nights

Rules:
1. Communication outside the gamethread and sanctioned quick topics is not allowed
2. Each player would have a character with unique name. All descriptions made by host would use these names. Like: Jarema character is called 'Jerry'. Description of night: Jerry was spying doctor Willenloss, when the latter was attacked by masked men'
3. Yes, that also means that sometimes only gender of character would be revealed in description (you know, mafia like to hide their faces)
4. After death, only name reveal will happen immediatelly. Alignment reveal will happen after few days, together with role (or cover role) reveal.
5. There are few characters who, for different reasons, will have their alignment described as 'not clear' rather than 'mafia' or 'town'. Not every player would be aware that it is the case for their character. True role of character would not always be revealed
6. Time-revelsals may happen. If time is 'rewinded' all actions and they consequences will be annuled. For example, lynched players would no longer be lynched. But, you will all retain memories of your deeds (like scan results)
7. Each day will consist of 2 periods lasting 24 hours. It is important, as some abilities can be only used during first or second part of day. Nights will last 24 hours


List of characters:
doctor Arthur Willenloss, inventor
professor Felix Willess, his son
Jane, Mary, Fred, Igor & Mike, doctor's assistants
John Blake, Martha Burghes, Michael Connely, Adele Delacruse, William Lane, Ann Pferd, Adam Steiner, Eva Znanetzky, other Munisch' inhabitants
(some characters may be deleted, as needed)

Ok, to start with, my first post since day 1 started:

Ok, so basically, outside of thread communication is disallowed and everyone has a role of some sort...

...I'm thinking mass claiming townie network.

Of course, It may just be that I like my wine symmetrical to my outward facing torso, but still.

Listen up.

First off, the 3 deaths are all from munisch's ordinary inhabitants and not from the assistants that we know of, baring in mind everyone has a role of some sort, we might not have lost specifically great roles, since the vast majority of us strike me as having pro-town powers.

If it is relevant, I can also pledge that I received a PM in regards to 24.

My other top suspects are DaveShack and Brickfaced. DaveShack for voting for me and then disappearing and Brickfaced because of the murder choices.

Is that all you have to say on the matter? Feel free to elaborate. You've got my attention now.


@ ATPG, Chaotix

I don't believe either of you are being particularly helpful to town by producing barrages of squabbling posts. I don't mind reading them, but I can bet that some will begrudge it and perhaps miss the occasional post that is productive in the process. I do feel that whilst Chaotix was damned from the initial point he hesitated, he does come off more scummy as a result, but it would be far to predictable and probably errant for me to vote for either of you off hand.

I am under the belief that claiming is pro town in this situation because typically, only mafia would claim last minute to save their skin for one more round.

But for Monty I will claim here (I know he is what he claims to be). I am one of your sons Monty.

The character list surely suggests he has only 1 son, why the plural? And your role doesn't strike me as being particularly powerful compared to those who have perished, since you are the doctor's son. In fact, it would be great irony if the Doctor's son was a communist. You also seem to be buddying with Monty far too much for my liking, dedicating two of your decisions to him.

I am one of the Doctor's assistants, I am an armor.

I read through the entire Chaotix-ATPG conversation. I don't think it was simply smoke and mirror distraction by mafia team mates. I am going to trust ATPG though, because he claimed, and because I know as well as anyone that mafia do love to hold out on claiming. So I will Vote: Chaotix.

What is your name, what do you mean by armor? Jumping on the Choatix wagon seems unwise, not that I resent the idea of lynching him, but that we should have a few candidates in the running to encourage application of pressure. If he is town the mafia don't even have to defend themselves since they aren't under any scrutiny whatsoever.


And finally, in this gargantuan post. My role.

I'm Jane, Doctor's assistant. I can role block once in the game under a certain condition. Only certain mafia player(s) are able to kill me but for my own safety, it is important I don't reveal the prerequisites.


That's all folks.


...oh and I'll vote later, I want to gauge the posts that proceed after mine.

[BSmith]

Someone else was on the hunt during the same night. Eva Znanetzky was peeking into windows of John Blake's house, when someone grabbed her from behind and started strangling her. When she passed out, the perpetrator undressed her, almost completely. When he tried to remove Eva's underwear, she regained consciousness. 'Why? You are so handsome, if you asked me, I would be yours without all...' at this moment, his knife silenced her forever.

Not your son, Monty.

John Blake, one of your assistants.

If I were still alive, I would without a doubt be voting for Chaotix.

Unfortunate, but it wasn't me. This is simply you-getting-killed-while-trying-to-investigate-me.

Probably by a serial killer, because that guy does not sound typically communist.

Actually you being an investigator is making me suspicious of what Diana has claimed. Two role investigators in one game?

[BSmith]

There is another clue in the write-up, but I am afraid I can't say much more because I am dead.

[Montmorency]

BSmith, you can hint at it. Just, stick around for a couple of hours and I'll find a semantic loophole for you.

Chaotix, we see that edse was also doing some spying when he died. I was absent from the house when he was killed by an obvious Commie. Bsmith was doing something similar (if scum, checking for recruitability?), and when he died your location was not given. That's interesting.

That's two scanners, and I'd bet there are more. Jarema loves scanner-variety. Anyway, Diana claimed that she started off knowing my identity. I wouldn't be surprised if she happens to be hiding a trick up her sleeve.

Yes, you are indeed claiming to be one of the Munisch townfolk.

Robbiecon, what is an armor? I can't find documentation on any such role.

The character list surely suggests he has only 1 son, why the plural?

Igor is my son. Years ago, Adolf messed him up, and they haven't spoken since. It is certainly possible that one of my sons is out for something as a personal goal. It is even possible that one of them is an SK or communist.

[Chaotix]

Correction, I am not an assistant.

At least not a sciencey lab-coat and beaker assistant.

But I do work in the lab.

Anyway, I agree with Brickfaced that I have vastly messed up this round. I have been making a List of Things Chaotix Could Have Done to Survive this Round.

It goes something like this, in order of effectiveness:

1. Keep my mouth shut
2. Reveal as soon as Monty posts
