    Didn't you say....
    "It seems the [Operatives] this game was imbued with Godlike powers over probability."
    was that sarcasm?

    I recall you saying that even though town killed 2 out of 3 mafia, it was still screwed if Reenk turned mafia after the last one was dead

    Subject: Guntram Faust
    Age: 66 (appears 28)
    Gender: Male
    Height: 5'9"
    Weight: 205lbs

    Subject Status: Assassin of the 13th Operative Corp
    Psychological Report: Loyal Member of the Operatives (Pro-Operative). Guntram Faust is the pride and joy of the Psi Corp. Living testament to the advances in biotechnology, Guntram Faust is genetic perfection. Originally an untrained psi, Guntram was sent through rigorous training programs until he was broken down enough for them to properly mold as they saw fit.

    Guntram is a Psychokinetic of incredible power. He is able to deconstruct and reconstruct matter as he sees fit, allowing his imagination to bleed into reality. If it were not for his limited range, Guntram would pose a major security threat and would have been terminated.

    However, he pays a terrible price when he kills a living creature - as he deconstructs the matter, he absorbs the psyche of the dieing individual, incorporating it into his own. Methods are already underway of relieving him of the burden before he goes insane.
    Psionic Abilities: Guntram is well beyond even a P1 Psychokinetic, and the Psi Corp have decided that the best way to use his abilities is for the assassination of specific targets. Each night, Guntram selects one person - that person will die, and no ability besides their own can save them. Such people cannot be revived either, and no evidence may be gleaned from them.

    Guntram will become increasingly unstable the more he kills - after his 4th kill, he can no longer kill again without risking severe mental breakdown.

    Guntram's ability is limited locally, and thus can only be used on someone located in the same Location he is in.

    Other: Guntram's partner for this mission is Operative Reimon Leclair (TheFlax)

    Reenk couldn't have turned, because the one person who could turn him was quite dead. Reenk would have then had YOU, you as in the Town, turn on each other to find the "witches" that he needed for his victory, but by then he was also exposed and you would have likely turned on him because he was a visible threat.

    Actually "they seem to have been imbued with godlike powers" was a joke - about the fact that luck seemed to be on their side at every turn, thus making them appear godlike when in actuality the Operatives were quite vulnerable and would require the assistance of the town to win.

    You seem to forget that he was not operating alone. Also, we were very very lucky in choosing who I would investigate. I think we hit something like 3 mafia in 4 investigations. At the outset I actually though the Operatives were pretty screwed and I think under other circumstances we would have been.

    Me - I want in.

    You misplaced an apostrophe and a spare "a" in the introstory. Otherwise, it looked like pure awesomeness. I am definately interested.

    thank you for the invite YLC but i don't think i'm able to participate as i'm loaded with work from uni :'(

    However i recommend everyone else to join this as this the sequel to "Whispers in the Night" in which i played and it was actually very awesome - the roles, ideas and story was superb.

    a tip for the players tho: if you decide to lynch someone, be prepared to be haunted by that player's ghost!

    Thank you kindly taka, but if I don't get at least 4 more I'll have to postpone the game, if the forum mods will let me, until finals/holidays are over. I do want this game to run, but I won't run it if it's not at it's fullest potential - that's ruining the players experience and my game
