You are the Paleon Team. You are Chaotic. You have in fact lived on Arcadia for years, but no one noticed you before now. Everyone knows Paleons are robots, but the thing about being an ancient super-genius is that hiding yourself from lesser minds is quite simplistic.
There's something strange about the Cultist Armada, but you want to assist them. If they wipe this place clean, it just leaves your kind in a position of power and influence. The rest of your kind are docile and inactive, too cowed, too enamoured by humanity. The three of you, however, will change the galaxy.
You are all machines. You cannot be Healed, but you may be Repaired. You are immune to psionic damage and its associated effects, but Mindscans will instantly reveal you as being synthetic life.
spoit is the Paleon Warrior
Life: 12
Attack: 5
Armour: 6
Self-destruct: If you die on a night, the attack you make on that night increases to 20 Special damage.
Challenge: When you attack a player, their attack power is reduced by 5 points for that night... unless they're attacking you.
Pharezon is the Paleon Assassin
Life: 10
Attack: 5
Armour: 5
Assassinate: Your attack power increases to 8 Special damage versus targets without the Alertness ability.
Analyse: Thoroughly scan the target. Analyse is not a seering ability, but it will identify the target's current Life, and innate attributes such as armour or Resistance. Be warned, robotic opponents can trace your Analysis attempt back to you...
The Anonymous is the Paleon Guardian
Life: 20
Attack: 5
Resistance: 15
Obstruct: Take the target's place for the purposes of damage and hostile effects! This will not affect abilities such as Mindscan.
Defender: Your presence increases the armour rating of your fellow Paleons. Should you die, their armour stat will halve (becoming 3).
Objective:
Destroy two of the following: the Renegade, the Rogue Mech, the Veteran.
Yea I'm going to have to ask @Cythrual what the hell was going through his head
My favorite part is that he clearly seered Anialos was village the night before, meaning it was down to Ringo, who had led multiple cultists to their deaths, and Retaba.

I'm just scratching my head on why during all the time Ringo delayed, he didn't send me or Cythraul a PM, or...reveal in thread. Sure, you could argue it wasn't necessary, but dag yo. I'd have swapped my vote in a heartbeat and am sure Cyth would have too if we were contacted.

Ringo has a weird sense of pride
However, at best it allows the blame to be shared equally amongst the village

Every Cultist has 10 Life and a base Attack of 2 (physical damage, delivered telekinetically).
SeGaTai is the Commandant Cultist, with Psi Defence 4 and the power of Doctrine: Every night, choose from one of these three effects to grant to yourself and all your team:
Awareness Doctrine: The Alertness ability, reducing the effect of hostile Stealth abilities
Guarded Doctrine: +2 Armour
Resolute Doctrine: +2 Psi Defence
You may unlock additional Doctrine choices as the game progresses.
Shabooty is the Overseer Cultist, with Psi Defence 3, and the power of Contingency: Gain the ability of the first Cultist to die. From there, you can either disable Contingency, or allow it to overwrite your inherited ability if another team member dies.
Egos is the Defender Cultist, with Armour 3, and the power of Shield: Reduce the total damage the target takes by 20 points.
Wiet is the Spy Cultist, with Resistance 10, and the power of Exploit: The target gains Vulnerability 2. Exploit is a Stealth power.
romanqwerty is the Nullifier Cultist, with Psi Defence 3, and the power of Nullify: Roleblock the target, preventing them from taking actions. This is a psionic ability.
Retaba is the Breach Cultist, with Armour 3, and the power of Telekinetic Break: Strip away the target's armour, Guard, and Resistance effects for that night.
vertroue is the Healer Cultist, with Psi Defence 3, and the power of Perfect Aid: The target regains all their life at the end of the action order.
Group power: Every night, you may choose two targets between yourselves, hitting one with Scourge (12 physical damage, telekinetic) and the other with Mindblow (12 psionic damage, telepathic). You may combine these attacks.
Rule of Three: The last three Cultists alive upgrade to The Triumvirate; the leaders of the Cultist Armada.
They are... powerful.
Objective:
Summon Primaphorior. The real one. Not that weird experiment the Pinnacle Guild made.
To do this, the Cultist Armada must outnumber the Arcadians.
Killing the Renegade (part of the Chaotic faction) and killing Kwychen (part of the Outsider faction) will make this task easier.

My original plan was to not work 13 hours today and get home after narration
As far as reasoning goes, I was talking with Retaba since day 1 more or less, he seemed consistently village. After our vote on Ringo and he started saying things about the possibility of both me and Anialos being mafia, I got a strong feeling of mafia grasping at straws. I hoped to read more today after work and see if I could figure some things out, but shitty workday didn't really allow that I'm afraid. I hoped the extra attacks on Retaba might secure us a village victory. Ah well.
Also, the network led to SeGaTai's death with our seering, not Ringo, regardless of timing of vote. Don't start that :P
I had a great time this game, I just wish I had had more time to focus on it! Thanks Edcrab for an awesome game

I wonder how powerful the murderbot really was. It doesn't seem like he was doing much murdering in the narration
20 life, 15 resistance, 5 armor. Immune to psychic attacks. Two attacks for 5 normal or one attack for 10 special. Win condition: kill more than the cultist armada. Can win with anyone.

I did my best to help the village by pointing out that I should be dead.

To be fair
We killed you because there are only one pair of rusty metal hands in these parts

Except I networked immediately with Langly, which gave me access to a weakening attack.
I also gave langly a key-phrase to network him with the real murderbot and an assistant after my death.
This let the murderbot get the ability to remove guards and double damage on people. And he said he'd try to help the village.
And 10 damage that is unblockable, unstoppable, would assuredly kill almost anything in the game.

Renegade Role PM:
Yes, the Renegade. Also known as Rend, which can get confusing.
The heads of the Armada insist that they're untouchable demigods. Which is just begging for death.
They intend to perform a strange psuedo-scientific ritual on Arcadia, a ritual that might just work. They want to summon Primaphorior. You can't let that happen. For once in your lives you and Kwychen agree on something.
Deadlock: You and Kwychen have agreed not to use your most powerful abilities unless absolutely necessary. Doing so will simply play straight into the Armada's hands, letting them tap into your energies and open a rift.
Objective:
Try not to let Kwychen die. As much as it pains you to admit it, you need his help to stop the Cultist Armada from summoning Primaphorior. The Armada seeks to wipe you both out... and unfortunately, so do those dumb Arcadians.
Eliminate the Cultist Armada and the Paleon Team. Then you can leave this crappy little planet victorious and terrorise some interesting star systems instead.
