Newspapers could get enough of Max Hawke's death. He was a contractor, and just about everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. First, his nail gun went off while Max was up on a ladder. The nail fired directly into a shovel, bouncing up into Max's leg. Max fell backwards off the ladder, landing on the ground with a solid snap. His body rolled down the small hill into the street. Lastly, Max was hit by a passing motorist.
It was as if Fate was saving it all up for one final push.

Roger hated it down here. He sloshed through the grey water, looking for the signs that he had been given. His directions hadn't made things easier. Things like “turn left at the half buried rat,” and “look for the broken floodlight.” It didn't help that there were dead rats and broken lights everywhere. Why exactly was he even down here? Why did he let Tock tell him where to go and what to do? Roger was getting really tired of people pushing him around. Maybe it was time for someone else to be giving the orders. Roger finally found the section of wall that he was looking for. He reached his hand into it, and pulled a lever. With a grinding sound, the wall began to slide. Behind the section of wall was a dark passage, Roger sloshed down the passage to a huge room.
Mr. Tock sat in a ripped and torn plush chair. Bits of stuffing littered the floor, molding and decaying. A seemingly perpetually moving swarm of rats brought little tidbits of information to Tock, and so he knew for a long time that Roger was coming. The Brujah made him nervous, there was something violent and dangerous there. He was also far more unpredictable that Tock liked.
It didn't matter, their business was done for now. The threat had been eliminated, the kine were scared, sheltering in their homes. It was time to move things forward.
Mr. Tock's ragged, disfigured face smiled.

I'll take a big part of the blame for the loss here. I have no idea why my phony baloney phyphor wagon went anywhere but I guess I should be more careful with those. Honestly Phyphor, my only goal was to perk you up and see what you'd say or do. It ended up taking on a life of its own which was surprising to me. Sorry buddy.
I also got to be visible network head at the worst possible time. Right when I had to put in a hellish workday and leave town for most of Saturday to boot. If I'd been around I could have actually run some kind of games, maybe shake the wagons around a bit to see what came loose. As it was, those days ended up as a waste from a voting records perspective since I was AFK.
Sorry village. We'll do better next time.

It was a good effort, but too late after all those days of missed votes.
I would like to see role PMs for the powered people. I gather that the village had a lot of powers, I'd like to know what the mafia had to make up for it.
All the vamps had two powers, and were able to use one each night. Even though three of us had the option to kill, we had could not use more than 2 kills, 1 seer, and 1 guard each day.
You are Kathryn Davidson, Clan Toreador. You are one of the Kindred that live in Las Vegas. Life has been pretty good recently. However, things have changed. There is a lot of wilderness in Nevada, and that means Lupines. It seems like they have finally chosen to strike. Nothing must threaten your dominance in Vegas. While you normally abhor simply killing people, what must be done, must be done.
You will achieve victory when your Coterie of Kindred compose half of the village or more.
Once per day you may use one of the following powers. There is only one caveat, your entire coterie may only use 2 kills, 1 seer, and 1 guard in total.
Presence – You may bring your supernatural majesty to bear, overwhelming your target with terror, or love. You pick. This will allow you to successfully prevent any attacks on your target. Auspex – You are gifted with sight beyond sight. By reading the auras of those around you, you can determine their true natures. Select a target, you can determine if they are simply a normal human or something more.

Also, I find it very funny that I almost got Fiaryn bandwagoned out on Day 1. We didn't get the list of other mafia-types until late in Day 1, so I was like SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.

Potence – You are gifted with terrible strength. Select a target, they will be killed.
Celerity – You are also gifted with supernatural speed. While this gives you offensive power, you can also use this power to intervene on behalf of someone else. Select a target, they will be protected by you and your speed.

You are Anthony Smith, Judge. Once, you were like the rest of the people around you, blind. Your eyes have been opened though, and now you know that all manner of monsters stalk the night and prey on humanity. In Vegas, it's no different. Vampires, for lack of a better term, prowl the streets sucking the very life from the people around them. Werewolves, feral beasts that run rabid killing innocent people. They must be stopped, all of them. You have one compatriot, Kevin Donaldson. He is like you, a man with his eyes opened. You haven't met up with him yet though, so be careful.
You achieve victory when both the Werewolves and Vampires are eliminated.
Once per night you may select one of the following powers to use
Discern – You can focus your second sight, identifying the manner of creature that you are looking at. Select a target, you will determine their manner of creature.
Burden – You can pin down a target, rendering them incapacitated by your judgement. Select a target, they will not be able to act.
The death of your friend Kevin has enraged you. You now have an additional ability. You may choose to kill one person a night. Much like your other actions, you must pick one. You simply have 3 choices now instead of two.
I was just getting something resembling a network going when I got offed, along with my primary confederate real_pochacco.
Teucrian, did you have something to do with us getting boned? It seems strange that we both died immediately after I divulged our identities to you.
You are Nathaniel Knudson, Clan Tremere. You are one of the Kindred that live in Las Vegas. Life has been pretty good recently. However, things have changed.

You will achieve victory when your Coterie of Kindred compose half of the village or more.
Once per day you may use one of the following powers. There is only one caveat, your entire coterie may only use 2 kills, 1 seer, and 1 guard in total.
Dominate – By controlling the minds of the lesser creatures of the world you can treat them as your playthings. Select one person per night, they are unable to do anything other than your will, and will not use any abilities.
Thaumaturgy – Blood sorcery. By using it you may manipulate the very forces of the universe. Select a target, they will be killed.
Near as I can tell ya'll got offed by vampires. I divulged your existence to the werewolves. So I think it wasn't me. But that was quite a coincidence.
All the vamps had two powers, and were able to use one each night. Even though three of us had the option to kill, we had could not use more than 2 kills, 1 seer, and 1 guard each day.
How many were there any way? Because that seems a bit powerful, even for a relatively large mini
Five of us. Our biggest flaw was that, given that our kills were tied to very specific people, we had a lot of room to be crippled early on if things were out of our favor. If any two of me, Dunadan, or Roman died...that leaves the Mafia with only one kill. All of us die? Zero kills.

What about pochacco? The vamps only had two kills, the village wasn't voting for either of us, and the werewolves were semi-friendly. I had taken solace in the knowledge that if I got axed (and it was going to happen, I'm just no good at being unnoticeable), then pochacco would almost certainly survive and be able to share some info with the village. Btw teucrian asked me to seer capfalcon that night, which pochacco knew, and the narration sorta revealed the result.

I for one blame !Fiaryn, given the votes shifted off of him.
Was an attempt at a subtle callout to my hunter partner. You know, SON of a DONALD. Donaldson? Lucedes apparently didn't notice. I would have tried a more overt method the next day, but then he died .
And thank you for running the game Loser! Twas good.
You are Sherry, Uktena Theurge. You are one of the warriors of Gaia. The Wyrm has infested this place. Leeches prowl the streets, surviving on pain and misery. Now is the time to cleanse this place. Hopefully none of the humans get in the way, but if they do, it's just unfortunate. Nothing must stand in the way of your mission.
You achieve victory when the vampires are eliminated.
Once per night you may use one of the following abilities
Sense Wyrm – You are able to sense the energies of the wyrm, allowing you to identify it's minions. Select a target, you can determine whether they are a creature of the Wyrm.
Fetish Doll – You may craft a doll in the image of someone. With that doll you can do all sorts of nasty things. Select a target, because of your torment they will be rendered totally unable to act.
I tried to seer you day one, and fiaryn day 2 but got killed by a hunter.
