Now would be a good time to tell us who Felix Dawkins was, so we can determine whether Buddha just pulled that role name straight out of the character list (or got lied to).
... It's worse.
Felix Dawkins appears to be Sarah Manning's one true friend and main confidante, whereas Cosima Niehaus is the sciencey clone, who is a book worm and researcher.
Both possible seer flavour characters, although Felix could potentially be a mason instead with Sarah Manning?
"Not many of us left in the squad, Detective."
"We have done an unusually shit job here, yes."
"Who's left?"
"Well, there's you, me, Buddha73, discrider, jdarksun, Jpants, Mikey CTS, and Zonugal. Though Zonugal didn't show up to work today. He called in sick."
"The tips suggested we should arrest Buddha73 so we went ahead and brought him in. Discrider was the one that convinced us."
"And?"
"Discrider appears to have played us, sir. He was just another cop."
"Shit."
"Yeah. Getting a couple calls now. The disappearances continued, with jdarksun and Jpants being tonight's victims. We're pretty sure they were, respectively, a cop and Cosima Niehaus, a Ph.D candidate at the University of Minnesota who has been in town for the last week or so for a conference."
"So what was this all about, anyway."
"We've interrogated the Neolutionists we've caught, but they're not telling us anything about the motivations."
Meanwhile...
"Congratulations everyone! We've successfully hidden the experimental subjects with minimal casualties to both them and us. And we've prevented the authorities from discovering our experiments that they've so short sightedly proclaimed as being illegal. The future will be ours! Tails for everyone!"
Neolutionist victory!
The dead: Buddha73 - Toronto PD - shenanigan'd jdarksun - Toronto PD - disappeared without a trace JPants - Cosima Niehaus - disappeared without a trace
The surviving Neolutionists: Mikey CTS
discrider
The living loser: Zonugal - Toronto PD
Thanks for playing everyone, role PMs and general thoughts upcoming.
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.
A Neolutionist! You believe that human intelligence can and should allow us to direct our own evolution through gene manipulation and cybernetic enhancement. Years ago, scientists who believe as you do cloned a pair of twins several times over to finally solve the nature vs. nurture debate. Now, the experiment has been put in danger as several of the subjects have turned up dead. You must recover all subjects and the original twins before they or the authorities discover what your organization has done.
Powers: Each night you may kidnap two players, removing them from the game.
Win Condition: The mafia is a majority of remaining players
The Neolutionists are: The Anonymous, kime, discrider, Trust, MrTLicious, and MikeyCTS
Rachel Duncan is: Baidol
(Rachel Duncan is a named character in the mafia, you can trust Baidol)
You are...
Rachel Duncan! You are one of the clones of the Neolutionism project, but unlike the others, you were raised by believers and are now a member of their organization. You're attempting to recover your sisters to protect them from whoever or whatever has been killing them.
Powers (as part of the mafia): Each night the mafia may kidnap two players, removing them from the game.
Win condition: The mafia is a majority of remaining players
The Neolutionists are: The Anonymous, kime, discrider, Trust, MrTLicious, and MikeyCTS
Helena PM:
You are...
Helena! You are the original. Raised by a convent in the Ukraine, you've become a devoted Christian and believe the cloning project of the Neolutionists is an affront go God. You have been trained to eliminate these abominations and will go to any length to do so. Also, you have a fondness for Jello.
Powers: Each night you may murder someone
Win condition: You must survive, and every clone must be dead. Not a true serial killer role, but something similar.
Goodguy PMs:
You are...
Felix Dawkins! You were an orphan in London, but you were brought to Canada by your foster mother, Mrs. S, along with your foster sister, Sarah. You make your living in a variety of illegal ways (drugs, prostituting yourself, etc.) but want to be an artist. You're closest to your foster sister and are the only person she genuinely trusts.
Powers: Sarah is Phyphor
Win condition: Eliminate all threats
You are...
Sarah Manning! You were an orphan in London, but you were brought to Canada by your foster mother, Mrs. S, along with your foster brother, Felix. You're a con artist who has recently stolen a large amount of cocaine from your abusive boyfriend, Vic. Recently, you've seen a number of women who look remarkably like you in Toronto, and you're confused by the whole thing. The only person you really trust is Felix.
Powers: Felix is Bedlam
Whenever a clone (a clone: any named character that is not Felix) dies, you can attempt to assume their identity and take any of their powers. This takes one night and over writes any previous identity you have attempted to assume.
Win condition: Eliminate all threats
(Best clone)
You are...
Alison Hendrix! You're a soccer mom who lives in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough. You married your high school sweetheart and live what looks like an idyllic life, except for your inability to have children naturally. However, you've adopted two kids and are as good of a mother as you can be for them. Lately though, you've been contacted by a woman who claims that the two of you share identical DNA and there are others... and this is causing you to stress out a little bit. And you... don't handle stress all that well.
Powers: You're a vig. Who kills with household items. Each night, PM me a person to kill and a ridiculous way in which you'd like them to be killed. (Show examples: glue gun, garbage disposal)
Win condition: Elimiante all threats
You are...
Cosima Niehaus! Raised in San Francisco, your focus was always on academics. You graduated from Berkeley and are currently studying for a PhD in evolutionary developmental biology at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. You've recently been contacted by a woman that claims she, you, and at least one other woman are identical. While she won't reveal her name, this naturally piqued your curiosity and you started looking on you own...
Powers: You're a seer. Each night, PM me a name, and you'll get their role back.
Win condition: Eliminate all threats
You are...
Elizabeth Childs! You're a detective with the Toronto police department. Recently, you've learned that someone is killing women who look shockingly like you and more recently you've been contacted by a German woman who claims that these women are in fact genetic copies of yourself. Investigating further, you discovered the organization behind the killings, and shot and killed one of their members, fabricating it as an accidental shooting.
Powers: You're a guard. Each night, PM me a name, and they'll be immune from the first attack directed their way. You cannot target yourself.
Win condition: Eliminate all threats
You are...
[/b]Katja Obinger[/b] You're a German woman who has fallen ill with a serious lung disease. A number of women who look disturbingly similar to you have been murdered in Europe. You found another such woman in Toronto and have flown there to meet with her, but now bodies are showing up here too...
Powers: None, you're just a villager. Also a clone.
Win condition: Eliminate all threats
You are...
Janika Zingler! You're an Austrian woman who has noticed a number of women who look disturbingly similar to you have been murdered in Europe. You found another such woman in Toronto and have flown there to meet with her, but now bodies are showing up here too...
Powers: None, you're just a villager. Also a clone.
Win condition: Eliminate all threats
You are...
Danielle Fournier! You're a French woman who has noticed a number of women who look disturbingly similar to you have been murdered in Europe. You found another such woman in Toronto and have flown there to meet with her, but now bodies are showing up here too...
Powers: None, you're just a villager. Also a clone.
Win condition: Eliminate all threats
You are...
Aryanna Giordano! You're an Italian woman who has noticed a number of women who look disturbingly similar to you have been murdered in Europe. You found another such woman in Toronto and have flown there to meet with her, but now bodies are showing up here too...
Powers: None, you're just a villager. Also a clone.

Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.
Phyphor's PM upon impersonating Helena. I didn't write all the potential PMs, but they were all going to be unique and I realllllllly wanted to write Alison's. As she's the best clone. Anyway, protagonist of the show gets superpowers, it's a flaw of mine.
You walk into the apartment you've learned Helena was using. Hoooooooo boy, does she look nuts. There's a bible passage written in blood and underlined in a copy you find:
“For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139 13-14a)
You also find a knife with a fish shaped handle
and some bloody clothes. Looking around, you see photos and dossiers of a number of other women, all of whom look exactly like you. What the hell?
Slowly, you begin to put it together. All of you look exactly the same, you have birthdates within a few weeks of each other. Somehow... you must have been cloned. Reading the bible verse again, looking at the knife, you make your decision:
there can be only one.
New powers: You've gained a kill. PM me a target each night.
New win condition: All of the clones must die except for you. You must survive until the end of the game and no other clones can also survive. Additionally, if Felix is killed, whichever group is responsible for his death must die as well. If it's the mafia, the entire mafia must be eliminated. If he's voted out, you become a traditional Phalla serial killer. If the vig kills him... the vig must die.
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.
7 mafia and constant two kills was harsh though. We had to do one per day to stand a chance
I waffled on this, but felt like 6/31 would have been rough. 6.5 or waiting for a couple more players would have been ideal. Still, I think if the village offs discrider one of the many chances they had to do so, or if Rawkking had vig'd either him or jdark his last night alive, they would have had a really solid shot at this.
For the record, had Phyphor tried to impersonate Rachel Duncan he would not have joined the mafia.
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.
So thoughts: I've been trying to work out how to do this for a while (because I really do adore the show; and as I said in the OP, Tatiana Maslany is giving the best performance on TV; including Cranston) and eventually just settled on mostly vanilla with Sarah's power. For a while, I was going to make all the clones have some ability to impersonate the other clones with some kind of priority system, but I wanted to simplify and people were asking for a game to exist, so I did it this way with just Sarah having the chance. I was pretty happy with how that worked out, though I think I maybe should have made the effect instant and the power one shot. Like Sarah could gain a kill from Helena, Alison, a guard from Beth, and a seer from Cosima, and that's it. And not to change her win con. I dunno.
The additional blank clones were mostly for giving the person playing Sarah false leads and to make it so it wasn't super easy for Helena to have them all die by accident by like day three. And her win con was a small punishment for role calling. I probably also should have given the mafia some additional characters (for show watchers: Paul, Vic, Donnie, Delphine, Mrs. S, Kira, etc. to claim) in that eventuality.
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.
You would have to have given them more clones. Not a generic role call, a clone call. You actually put all of them in (as expected) and the only bad ones... are exactly as expected. Standard vig call, everybody talks to the vigs, sort out double claims and the clearly evil people with stabbings
Thanks for running ebum!
I'm not sure whether I should be playing though if all I can do is post when everyone's asleep after narration and then get tied to railroad tracks by JDark whilst I'm inactive.

Going with MikeyCTS because of Z's vote for Kime
I'm going to stick with Buddha73.
Buddha for being mafia as shit and butchering the English language.
Now would be a good time to tell us who Felix Dawkins was, so we can determine whether Buddha just pulled that role name straight out of the character list (or got lied to).
Otherwise, it's Sarah Manning's one true friend vs. clone who discovered that she was owned by people or something.
Felix Dawkins appears to be Sarah Manning's one true friend and main confidante, whereas Cosima Niehaus is the sciencey clone, who is a book worm and researcher.

I complain, but I had a lot of fun with my real seer game! Thanks for running the game EB!
Though I was serial killer-lite and I do better at that than a true vig anyway apparently

Being accused of mafia took me back to the old days.
Man, good to know that I'm still shifty and still unable to tell who mafia players are after all this time.
village proboards.
Still, I found it amusing I was voted out for actually trying to do real analysis on day 2.
