Well, there's damn sure gonna be a narration delay today. Vote closed. Given the state of the forums I'll take still-missing votes until morning and write this up then, if there are no objections?

Announcing these now, as they're not subject to change and you'll probably want to be able to plan for Hour 5:
- Flights to Chicago and Atlanta will depart tomorrow.
- Current vote count is: 6 for Ebum, 2 for Assuran, 4 for Saber, 2 for GG, 1 for TRV, according to my spreadsheet. A change in outcome is still possible.
- At least 2 Travellers will be departing on this hour's flights and contributing to a Traveller win.
E: Apparently TA and SeGa got their votes in while I was trying to give you guys a summary. :P

@MikeyCTS, the vote's pretty much up to you at this point. @enlightenedbum can still register a vote, though. If I haven't heard from you guys by 11 EDT tomorrow I'll push the narration then; if I have, first chance I get after receiving the votes, and we'll start Hour 5.

Hour 4 Travellers whose patience has been exhausted struggle to make it aboard their flights as swiftly as possible at the terminals heading to Boston and Edinburgh. An argument breaks out in the line for Boston, but calms before anything eventuates. Meanwhile, near the baggage claim, a struggle erupts between a man in a trenchcoat and a TSA representative...
Enlightenedbum approaches the terminal as his flight is announced to be next to depart only to be rebuffed by the desk representative. Apparently his frequent-flyer miles have expired, and he won't be getting to San Francisco even by transfer.
SeGaTai, feeling pretty confident due to the arrests of his opposition, is dismayed to be caught holding The Package by TSA Chief The Anonymous. The Agency disavows all knowledge and he joins Zonugal and Bedlam in detainment.
TSA Victory!] due to obtaining The Package and eliminating anyone who could steal it with a Traveller victory still possible. Traveller victory! due to no remaining reason to interfere with their departures (see full exposition later tonight). Air Traffic Controller victory! via survival + the elimination of Zonugal. Iron Weasel and TRV draw due to elimination of the actual Criminals and (presumably) successful departure.
Invictus, Assuran, JPants, and Mikey CTS made their flights.
I am genuinely surprised; the TSA was certainly lucky and possibly psychic.

I should say though that I had fun, just wish it was longer and that we had longer to figure everything out. Thanks for running this, Aura. I can't wait to see all the role info.

Yeah. My surprise is genuine; the short version is that the non-Travellers zeroed in on one another immediately and stayed locked in, instead of messing with the Travellers much at all.
Agreed. Here's the basics as far as I understand them:
Mafia:
TSA (T_A, Cayrus, buddha72) - Have 50% of the travellers depart and end the game with the package. Can search each day for the package in luggage. Can arrest each day (remove a player from the game). If they target a non-baddy with this ability, they lose it permenantly.
Arms Dealers (Bedlam and Zonugal) - Get the package and catch a flight. May steal luggage to search for the package (removes the player)
Air Traffic Controller (SaberOverEasy) - Eliminate either the TSA Chief or Arms Dealer and survive to the end of the game. Choose two flights to leave every day. Knows the TSA and Arms Dealers at the beginning.
The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.

I'm confused why the air traffic controller was given so much information at the beginning. I know SOE had to choose who to work with, but he basically gave us (TSA) the game when he told us who they were. Granted, Bedlam was already dead at that point, so it was 3 against 2 (not sure of SegaTai's role, that was a very lucky guess on my part).

What was the purple role?
It's was a bit weird. I wasn't really sure what to do with my role, since I figured if I outright sided with one side, the other would just kill me. It ended up being that the arms dealers didn't want to kill you guys and you wanted to kill the arms dealers. With Bedlam dead, I didn't even have to worry about retribution.
It might have just been me, but this game felt very random and luck oriented. There didn't seem to be a ton for the village to do and by the time they could start figuring things out, people would be leaving left and right. Not voting at all would have been the best scenario for everyone and there really didn't seem to be an informed minority. There just seemed a bunch of little factions that all wanted the village to win.
Auralynx: Congrats on running your first game! A general host note: You revealed WAY too much in clarifications. You confirmed TRV's story about the TSA in the thread and my abilities in the PM with the TSA. Host clarifications are one of the few things you can be sure aren't lying in a phalla game. You want to use them sparingly.

Yeah, I can see how it'd look that way from you guys' side, but I was very surprised by Bedlam and Zonugal's decision-making, and I think that was actually the major thing that pushed us here.
Agree 100% I blew the TRV clarification. In my defense, there were other Travellers who could have asked for it publically and I was pretty sure one would while I was asleep. I should have re-posted what I sent him in the thread instead of posting what I did.
As far as clarifying your inability to change flight designations, that'll make more sense when the role info comes out; not as harmful as you might think.
I am still in transition to work, so it may be a bit before I can dump info.

I'm just bummed I never got to fly to Chicago... from Chicago. I was like "Score, I get to go home! ...but I already am home. "
Yea sorry about that jdarksun. You had a very accurate call of hiding seeking neutrals that spooked me early.
Figured you might have been trying to be to obvious to remove suspicion or had at least been contacted.
I had to place the package on a traveler and get them on a flight, should have put it in play a day earlier but figured that just doubled the odds of me or it getting found.
I totally contributed to our success! Investigating SeGaTai on that last day was my decision.
Was a hell of a guess / leap of reasoning! I was expecting tomorrow to get interesting, with 4 villagers departing and the TSA under pressure to make 2 more arrests or track SeGa down.
I'm on lunch so I'll try to bang out abbreviated role PMs and such once I get some food in me.

Sorry. I was running my IKRPG live game and forgot. Totally my fault.

Looks like I'm gonna be pretty well tied up until 3 am at the earliest; if anyone's waiting up, don't.

So everyone won?
