So Ank, let's say you think I'm scum. I gave things to PB and Mac. It's pretty much impossible that me, PB, and Mac are scum together. So you think as scum I gave my 1-shot abilities to an innocent (maybe 2 innocents) just for towncred?
so then who do you think is scum, seriously... there is not much left....
there is you
Me
Mac
elusive
dinare
UT
mac
ank
right now I rank things as
dinare
UT
elusive
ank
mac
you
me (as I know my role)
how would you currently rank folks from scum to town?
given this post, your ank shot doesn't make sense from a town PoV since you should surely be vigging your top scumread. with the dinare flip, that would leave UT and elusive before ank on your list so unless something about the dinare flip changed your ank read, i think you're scum who looked at hitting someone who was probably not a viable mislynch but not widely townread enough to be a 'bad' vig kill as such.-

last read wasn't overly waffly to be honest.
also we have a missing night where nothing was given out, so i'm assuming reck was targetted or CO just didn't give out.
no point speculating on what may have happened really, but i still think pb is scum and the partner is ut/elusive.
vig should probably have been the first thing CO gave out, i wonder if there was a set order he had to follow.
PB, what was the flavour for vig?- PeaceBringer

problem is mac, that my top scum read flipped town. So what do you do when top scum read flips town, you re-evaluate. I take vig shots seriously. I use them. I read over each ISO. Nothing changed my mind on you. When I read Ank, I started going, wtf is he town? He has basically been doing nothing all game. When I read over UT, my 2nd slot of scum, it came off more town to me.
If I was scum here and Choas dead I wouldn't have to out the vig shot at all.- PeaceBringer

Role PMs
Spoiler:
Thank you to all for playing, and special thanks to those of you who stayed until the end or replaced into the game!
Many, many thanks to penguin_alien and RedCoyote for reviewing the game and to RedCoyote for being the backup moderator. I had another two reviewers look at the game, as well, but I did not list them as I wasn't able to secure their explicit approval of the final version of the setup. They can chime in if they wish, as I'm sure that there were issues with the setup as it was run.
That said, I'd like to apologize for the quality of the moderating. This setup was created and more or less approved by late April 2014. The final hold-ups were (1) graphics for the role PMs and flavor and (2) final approvals from the other two reviewers. I'd already made the changes suggested by Reviewer #3, and Reviewer #4 had things to deal with, which left role PMs. Lucas Pope uploaded assets for the Papers, Please beta version, which was what I had planned on using for this game: portraits, passports, and entry permits for the role PMs, and newspapers for each Day and Night phase. Those, as you can see, never got done. I decided to run the game in spite of this because I'd already promised a date of January 2015 previously, and I hoped to get at least the Day/Night assets done during the game. Life happened, etc.
hitogoroshi drawing the linchpin role was a blessing and a terrible, terrible curse. The role was inspired by hitogoroshi's Malingo in Mini 1274: Abarat Mafia (for which he won the Best Setup Award, IIRC), so he was the best person to draw it. Unfortunately, though, hitogoroshi has a troubling tendency to die, and, surprise, he died Night 1 before his role would be of use to anyone. That made Corman Drex effectively a goon, but it didn't really matter because the wicked witch was dead! In contrast, ChaosOmega made the best use of his role that he could, but I probably should have made his a Twilight role rather than a Day role.
Scum played really well here. Not sure of how much of it was intentional, but they killed all of the power roles and investigated many of the vanilla townies. This, apart from the game's activity level, really crippled town. There was only so much Jorji could smuggle past the border.
Anyway, if you have suggestions or comments regarding balance, I'd love to hear it!
If you haven't bought Papers, Please yet, you should. Keep an eye out for it in the Steam summer sale, which should be coming up soon, or wait for it on GOG. It's fairly inexpensive, though, so why wait? Patriotism should not be considered expensive!
Glory to the new Arstotzka.- AngryPidgeon
