Apologies for not voting. My niece was a holy terror today- apparently it's possible for a two-year-old to run an uncle and their mother into the ground energy-wise. Finally got her down for the night and fell asleep waiting for DCU to finish patching.

Day One:
The autobots convened to attempt to eliminate the decepticons hiding in their midst. Whatever strange plan Megatron had of making most people appear to look like Bluestreak was highly disorienting. The crowd picked out one robot that was acting, a little stranger than most and prepared to execute him. Obifett did not resist at all, in fact he was one of the loudest calls for his own head.
Optimus Prime prepared to examine the body closely, but a cloud of dust arose, and when it cleared the body was gone!
Everyone silently groaned as the Bluestreaks endlessly amused themselves. One Bluestreak laughed particularly obnoxiously until a giant foot smashed him into scrap. Optimus was able to identify him as Buddha73.
***
Megatron frowned. He didn't know what Prime hoped to accomplish with this Bluestreak plan. He felt uncertain, and he hated feeling uncertain. He decided that this would have to be resolved by killing them all and sorting it out afterwards.
Starscream entered the room with a smirk on his face, but decided not to antagonize Megatron after looking at his face.
***
Optimus Prime looked over the instruments again, they clearly showed that Obifett’s body was drifting away into space. They didn’t have the resources to launch a team to recover it. Who would do such a thing? He called some of his soldiers in, but only Bluestreak after Bluestreak filed in. They were not very helpful. Prime finally sent them away as Ultra Magnus entered the room.
“Prime, there were two more casualties tonight.”
Prime frowned, “More autobots?”
Ultra Magnus thought for a moment and replied, “We don’t know yet. We found a Junkion blasted apart by multiple strikes. We identified him as enlightenedbum. We also saw footage of another robot that was blasted and then hit with another force which completely annihilated it. We didn’t recover anything to identify, but some of the others said the annihilated robot might have been going by Capfalcon.
The two autobot leaders planned strategy late into the night.

That there are some kills that don't reveal our faction, or that we all only think we're Bluestreak, but aren't, due to some sort of widespread delusion.

green is typically the color of village players. goldenrod means enlightenedbum was some sort of neutral faction (probably I guess). In general if a color is not red or black, but isn't green, they're some weird neutral party. Red means mafia.
So if the person is green, it means they were village. If the action is green, it means a villager did it. That way you can tell, for instance, whether a village aligned person killed someone, or if it was the mafia.
Capfalcon, for instance, was killed by a villager and also a serial killer (probably. black generally denotes a serial killer)

Well there are multiple possibilities here, including that our vote does not reveal the alignment of the target (which would be really lame because generally you shouldn't weaken the vote like that) plus whatever utterly destroys stuff (Unicron probably) obviously. Maybe the Decepticons can hide one death each night and they've chosen to hide the vote winner for now? In general that's the best target anyways as there is no real reason to hide a mafia kill since you know it isn't mafia anyways and they won't know any of the other targets, though I still think that a mafia able to hide a kill each night is going to be ridiculous as there are a lot of Bluestreaks around whose only real power is the vote and weakening the vote like that weakens everyone. With no other powers for the Bluestreaks we can't even figure out if our one power is doing anything. If I had to look at yesterday's vote though, I would figure that the Decepticon mafia is only too happy to let everybody pile onto an obvious target like Obifett. No idea what else I can get from the vote though. The possibility of posting restrictions (self-inflicted or not) makes it difficult to read people.

Name colors indicate player alignment. Green guys are usually good guys, red guys are usually bad guys (and that's probably true here), and other colors usually have their own motives which are rarely helpful to the good guys.
Color of kill description usually indicates what variety of kill hit a person. We should probably infer that the Decepticons killed enlightenedbum (which makes perfectly good sense, if he wasn't one of them, as he's pretty good at finding bad guys) and that Trypticon, of all things, killed Buddha73. An Autobot is probably responsible for what happened to Capfalcon one way or the other.
It is unusual that we're not getting role and alignment info for some of the dead, particularly lately, but it's not a guaranteed thing to have. We can maybe infer something in the long term from the absence of it.

I think its really weird that the vote gives a ??? and have it not be a reveal. ??? has to be a faction of some sort, doesn't it?
Maybe Obi needed to die to reach his full power, and that's why he gave himself a flyer vote when we were looking for a new bandwagon to get of Jdarksun.

I don't know enough about Transformers, perhaps. Maybe someone should sub in for me?
Nah, just work the phalla end of it. I'm probably going to confuse myself and any other Transformers-friendly players speculating based on that, and it really doesn't matter what silly robot name a role has, just whether it's a good guy or a bad guy, and what it can do.

Transformers lore people can help with factions because it seems like there must be at least 3 (yellow, red, and green have all showed up).
Junkions are space robots from TF: The Movie. Their leader, Wreck-Gar, was voiced by Eric Idle, who must've had mortgage payments to make or something. They're probably neutrals, or were neutral if Ebum was the only one. Apparently they were amusing enough to reoccur in various incarnations in other TF media, as well. This, according to tfwiki, also includes a Weird Al-voiced incarnation!

Looking at Obi's posts, it's likely he was a Junkion.
By the looks of the lore, Junkions can survive attacks that would incapacitate a normal 'bot.
So Obi may well have been looking to survive the vote with such an ability, only to get blindsided by the vote not working with his ability.
Maybe.
If "I'm a Survival Neutral but I'll be back" and "I'm not at all happy" are the sounds of this happening.
But this would also imply that ebum was either hit multiple times (and it was lumped into the same attack) or the ability didn't work for a mafia attack also, which seems sort of a reach. Does each death notice up there correlate with a single use of an ability?

well I didn't think we would all actually show up as bluestreak in death either, I guess there are just a ton of bluestreaks out there.
Obi said he was a survival neutral who would be back, so I'm not sure what that means. I don't think that the vote will naturally do this.
It occurs to me that Capfalcon (or Obi, come to think of it) could easily be Starscream, given the ??? status on that death.
Nah, just work the phalla end of it. I'm probably going to confuse myself and any other Transformers-friendly players speculating based on that, and it really doesn't matter what silly robot name a role has, just whether it's a good guy or a bad guy, and what it can do.

Good point. They're obsessed with Earth's pop culture. Definitely might be Obi.

So that's two Junkions dead last night.
