Night 4 - Mass Refunds Imminent
"Customer support is closed"? That wasn't supposed to happen. Yet, happen it did. Customer support was clearly offline. For good. It appeared that, worse, JPants had been taken offline by outside interference. This would not make the consumers happy, no, not at all.
Another user had also been taken offline, though Heffling's removal was both unique and disturbing as it revealed the competition for market share had expanded beyond just Steam and Gamestop and explained the start of a mass exodus of users to previously unidentified services. Fortunately, one of the interlopers had left his credentials poorly secured. DasUberEdward's profile had been easy to access, and thus remove, his true identity revealed for all to see; and his backlog distributed for all to share. Oddly enough, the admin couldn't find any trace that his obliteration had been the doing of any loyal followers...
Bedlam had fallen victim to the mob of dissatisfied users, and was swiftly ejected from the community. Without customer support, it was clear this trend would only grow. 38thDoe had simply signed off, never to return... hopefully not to be the first of many.
The list of users active was beginning to thin out, and worse, it seemed that if they did not identify the other competitors in their midst, and soon, hope would be lost for everyone: Gamestop, Steam, and especially The Newell.

Just putting another shout out that the trading cards are very helpful and I'd love for you to tell me what you got so that I can put powers in village hands!
Trading is instantaneous, so I can be the go between folks.

Looking at the vote records... I started this sentence several minutes ago, and still don't know where to end it. McKid pushed Bedlam up to 3 votes after Preda went up to 2, which could mean they're both mafia. Premium and Cythraul are both doing that thing where people occasionally throw a vote or two at them, but no real bandwagon ever forms, and then the game ends and they're evil. And I'm sure everyone else is doing things that will look suspicious under scrutiny and obvious in hindsight.
I don't know. New theory: mafia wants cards, so they try to join all the top bandwagons, so at least one of them will get something. That explains the votes clustered around Dragon and Auralynx night 2. That's when they would have been most likely to push for them, when they had high numbers and didn't know the card powers yet (side note: if anyone would like to fill me in on those powers, I'd be grateful).
With that in mind, I think I'll vote for premium. When he voted, it was Dragon 8 to Aura 6, and he might have seen a good chance to grab a second place vote. ...Or he could just be a villager trying to get cards. But I have to hope.

The dragon vote was bad and it was the end of the day so i put my vote on a bandwagon that was not as bad. You'll note that i haven't been on a second place wagon all game so im obviously not that interested in cards.
Well, barring an 11th hour reveal from someone, that's going to be it for me. I apologize for the inevitable disappointment when I don't die red. Good luck guys!

Night 5 - Passing The Torch
One could imagine the Steam Administrator's surprise at having her account locked out. How was that even possible!?
Regardless of the hows and whys, it had happened. Gizzy's account had been compromised. the assault had removed the administrator's login access. First there was no support, and then there was no leadership. One of her last actions as leader had been to disable JusticeForPluto's account, though none could say why. A small benefit was that one of the sources of interference had been well and truly wiped out.
There was room for only one DRM-driven service, and the likes of Origin would not be tolerated,
nor would Cantide, its representative.
Though only one intrusive source remained, and its strength was waning, it remained a force to be reckoned with. Administration could no longer be of any assistance. From that point forward, the community themselves would decide the future of Steam... and the Newell's legacy.

If I am following my gut, I have to put out a vote for Cantide
But I don't have solid reasoning for it so I am open to being persuaded.

As for my suspicions, I'm wondering about premium and McKid, but don't have much to go on. Mostly looking at voting records.
