I am far less concerned with Ibn-Khaldun, whose ability we have confirmation of (via Autolycus) than by BSmith. The point that two pro-town roleblockers seems unlikely makes sense. So if one of our role-blockers is lying, it is far more likely to be BSmith.
I would urge the garrison to lynch BSmith over El Barto, who has been both role-blocked by Ibn-Khaldun and tracked doing nothing, or at the very least lynch Chaotix, who is a self-confessed traitor.
Tally
Chaotix 4 - El Barto; edse; Ibn-Khaldun; BSmith El Barto 2 - Chaotix; Autolycus BSmith 1 - Curio

Reason: Added tally...

It is best we probably stick with Chaotix this late though...

Chaotix ordered to approach the gallows. Stannis had decided to hang this traitor, who had laid his claims quite bare for all to see. Ser Gawen Wylde, the man at arms had a big smile on his face as he ordered the man up the stairs with his sword. Today was a good day for him. He loved hanging traitors. As he hung the noose around Chaotix's neck, he burst out laughing. Stannis frowned, "What could possibly be funny about a hanging?" he asked.
"It isn't the hanging my lord that I'm laughing at." he said as he kicked the chair under Chaotix's legs.
"It's you."
With that, Edse and El Barto drew their crossbow and sword respectively. Stannis looked around at his two remaining garrison members, Ibn-Khaldun, his jailor and Davos Fleabottom, his saviour. Davos cursed and drew his sword and the Jailor ran off.
With a smile, Edse fired a shot at Davos, missing by an inch as Davos realised the fight was lost. He ran off to follow the jailor.
El Barto and BSmith cornered Stannis, who was clearly outmatched. "You'll cede lordship of Storm's End to me, Cape Wrath to El Barto and Edse will remain my trusty companion. With a high payrise of course. Now, you'll be wanting to agree to these terms, as the alternative is your death. After all, when you play the game of thrones, you either win, or you die. Maybe we'll let you be a lord under us, or maybe you'll take the black instead. I hear they need men on the wall. Choice is yours."
Stannis cursed. Bloody thieves they were. He looked out past the castle. Was that a direwolf banner?

Otherwise you will prevent the person from being recruited that night. Victory: Eliminate all traitors to the garrison. Personal Goal: Bring back a cult member using your ability.

Welcome White_Eyes:D, you are The Rose who is a member of the garrison at Storm's End.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Alignment: Cult Ability: The Rose is skilled in deception. Each night you may leave a letter in someone's bed detailing that if they help you, the Tyrell's will be sure to reward them and that if they decide to show up at the well by midnight, you will know their loyalty. Only certain people will accept however. You can send letters every second night. However, your party cannot be more then three, otherwise the stink of traitor will be too large for the guards to ignore and they will crack down hard. If your letter is refused, you cannot act the following night. (For example, if you send it night 1 and it is refused, the guards will be on high alert, therefore you cannot perform any abilities the next night (this goes for everyone in your group. If someone fails an action, the whole group must be silent for the next night).
However, your new babes in arms may not be particularly loyal. I suggest not revealing your identity to them unless you make them members of your garden. A new recruit has no abilities, however a flower does. Making a new recruit a flower takes two nights, and lots of persuasion. However, you can be sure they are loyal. Victory: Convince enough people that the Tyrells will be lenient to open the gate to let them in. Personal Goal: Never have more then two members in the cult.
Quicktopic to discuss. I may change your PM according to the balance of the game.

Sorry to White Eyes, I could've balanced the cult a bit better, but you did well with it.
Sorry to BSmith and WE:D for mixing your roles up.
I heavily hinted in the writeup that the town needed the last cult member, because otherwise I feared they would think the game was over when the cult was lynched.
I did mention the setup on the first page.
The prisoner was a balancing role.
I know the game was unbalanced, but I don't believe it was to the point where no faction had a chance.
I probably could've done better writeups, and extended phases over the weekends.
There's probably a few more things, but that's it for now.
Oh, and go back and read the night 2 writeup. Notice anything different?
I didn't even start off with anybody, and my conversion ability didn't really work 100% of the time and I needed 2 more nights to "lock" recruits in. Add in the cooldown timer of every second night and you get...a nicely handicapped role, but I have had worse so "meh".
The only thing that had my blood boiling was that Chaotix was basically screwed unless he really tried very hard and then my lynch write-up just made it impossible for him to deny being cult. Always remember that town well always go with the sure thing over the "supposed or Maybe's". Honestly, I feel better knowing town lost badly because of it though.

I had a few things in mind to balance if things went particularly poorly, for example if you failed the first night, I would let you try again the second night, and then you could try again on the fourth night. But you never failed. Chaotix was completely screwed. There was no way he was going to win as cult, and he had made his allegiance VERY clear with his attempt to tie up the vote. I don't blame him for seeking a victory as town after all avenues were lost.
I will accept that I handicapped you too much, my apologies for that.
After that display from El Barto last round I just knew he had to be mafia. Otherwise I'd get an "I don't believe you" or a benefit of the doubt. But the way he just shrugged and kept his vote on me, I knew that town losing was exactly what he wanted. Well played indeed.
Apologies to my cult buddies that I couldn't pull it off; one way or another the cult was toast after that double lynch.

I got careless in the last lynch, tried too hard to overrule you. But at best we'd've been 3-3 and No Lynch, we'd block Ibn-Khaldun and kill any of you. And win.

People, I claimed mafia at the beginning of the game. Why did no one pay attention?

Thanks to Visorslash for hosting an interesting and exciting game.
Congratulations to the mafia, edse, El Barto and BSmith, in your victory. Twas well done.
Once again my track record of failing dismally in a powerful pro-town role continues...

Oddly enough...I think you were right to heavily nerf the Cult role. I have always had a problem with games where you could recruit too easily as scum...but then again, I feel recruiting is pretty OPed overall.
