"How to Make Role Madness Games, for Dummies"
First, you plot out your powerful roles, work out how many are necessary for the numbers you have.
Then, you backfill what would otherwise be vanilla town with situationally useful roles that allow you to get away with saying "everyone has an ability".
In short, the disparity between role power really isn't something to base a "lynch all liars" lynch on...

och Mattimeo you spoil all the fun .
I was so looking forward to myriads of posts with "what do you mean with it is out in the open?" from the usual ones.
So, we have to claim now? What happened with the "Oh, EM, Gee, you gave info about your role to the scum, we are doomed!!!" discourse from yesterday.
Anyway, I'm not fully caught up to properly comment, but my role is that I can send a message to a player each night and the player who received it can send me an answer during the forst day of the next day phase. I haven't used it in anyone yet, because what's the point, right? It's not like I trust any of you.
zak, Ichabod, can you either summarize your private discussions with sunrise or post them here? I still suspect him and looking at all the reveals I feel a scum neighbourizer isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Apologies, I got my fill of that yesterday, and I didn't think to take into account others wanting the same experience
If its any consolation, there will still probably be enough people going "wait, what did Mattimeo actually do on N1 and N2?"

We just discussed some suspects, there was not much going on. I don't think there's anything there that points to Sunrise's innocence.
@Serdoa - we didn't talk much. I didn't really have anything I wanted to say to him in private, and it seems like the feeling was mutual.
It went something like this. Paraphrased in honor of our magnificent Friend Computer.

As you can see, I agree that there's nothing about being a neighborizer that clears Sunrise. And it would be a convenient cover for visiting Novice.
Ichabod - you really haven't used your ability yet? I got the impression you had something going with MJW, when you kept calling him Comrade.
Catwalk - if it's any consolation, you came out of that exchange looking pretty innocent. I'm pretty sure the scum would have figured out my role by now.
No, didn't use it on MJW. It was probably the best target, but I didn't see much point and I'm missing the deadlines too. And the message is at most 160 characters, so that's a twitter message, right? Not much to be said there...
I considered asking bob if he could come up with a good plan to use my role on night 1, but I missed the deadline. After that I started suspecting him...
Regarding suspects, I think Ryan could very well be lynched. He gets too mad at any mention of lynching him and I already fell for this act on a previous game. Considering we have a billion players that can kill, it could very well be a mafia role. I guess that'd clear bob too, if Ryan is scum (Ryan used power on bob night 2, right?).
