Pops played a flawless game as scum, coming across as definite town (or at least I thought so), but also perfectly and subtly distancing himself from his partner hiphop, which proved a valuable tool when it came to lylo.
In an anonymous post game survey, 9 out of 14 players voted popsofctown the player of the game. Only roflcopter's excellent cop play contested this, garnering 3 votes.

Giving the traitor the ability to kill until he is recruited makes the mafia's decision of whether and when to recruit the traitor an interesting question, while the traitor doesn't know who the mafia are, and therefore has to choose carefully who to kill just as a town vig does, but in reverse.

You mean the
traitor vigilante that turns into a backup mafia roleblocker when recruited
?

Well, it seems to me that the backup roleblocker part isn't intrinsic to the traitor vig role, i.e. not all traitor vigilantes have to turn into a backup mafia roleblocker when recruited. Whether or not that specific implementation of it is overpowered, I like the basic idea of it.

Nominate Spyrex for
Best Mechanic/Mutation
for the draft feature of Pick your Power.
Nominate same game for
Most enjoyable game
. Was a very fun game as I think everyone involved can attest to (except perhaps some ofn the scum )
Town Cop that was roleblocked by scum (me) N2, but fakeclaimed having tracked me to somebody that the SK killed. Had me paranoid that both my roleblock and kill were redirected to someone else. I insisted that I roleblocked him and he was lying scum going for a quick lynch in lylo. After a long drawn out day, he won the town's support and I went down.
When the game is over with, I find out that I DID roleblock him and my kill was doc-blocked (had no clue about the SK). Sajin pulled off a gambit where he claimed to have tracked me when really he had no clue of my alignment at the time.
Game ended in 2009 though...

Nominate VP Baltar for Best Performance Third Party
he was a SK in a 27 player game. There was about 100 ways from him to be killed and lived to see end game. The game ended in a draw(SK and the town), but he fooled almost every player in this game. I dont think i have seen anyone who worked harder. If had had better win condition he would have won.

Yeah, but four out of five isn't. Would have been four in a row if we'd lynched my choice Day 4.

Pick your power for all three. It mighth ave some balance issues if run regularly, but maybe not worrying too much about the balance is part of the fun? It also had tremendous activity levels, something like 60+ pages in a month, I think.
