    @Jiggles Don't worry, backstabbing is part of the game. Plus from you, it's almost expected.

    @TSO I highly approve of you musical choices. Whichever way this goes, you and jalmont have been worthy opponents.

    @Everybody who voted Black Whether you voted black to help me or for your own personal reason, thank you.

    By the end of 'Cycle 10' everything smelt of death. There were mutilated bodies all around you, and everything smelt of death. Everything was either burnt, broken, or covered in the blood of both your allies and enemies. Though the decision was made for one more death, and it was lady who was lynched in the streets of kings landing, and they took 15 HP damage. There were riots after the attack, but as they died down and the people went home, the body of LordKX was found. He was:

    The streets seemed to be eerily quiet.

    It is now Cycle 11. This cycle will end in 24 hours (6:30 AM GMT+1)

    'Cycle 11' was nearly the end. Poppy was attacked by most of the remaining soldiers. After the fray Master12345's body was found, he was:

    The body of BebbZ was also found. He was:

    You then hear a frustrated shout. "Finally!". Jalmont announced he was returning to the Reach. He has won the game. He was:

    You also hear another feminine voice, and a flash of red. TheSexiOne told everyone in a soothing voice that he no longer has any love for Westeros and he is returning to Asshai. He was won the game. He was:

    The streets were now deserted.

    It is now cycle 12, this will end in 24 hours probably, or when i get all the commands.

    In actual fact, That is all I needed to finish the game.

    It seemed 'Cycle 12' had only just begun, but already Hound had been surrounded by the other two who remained. Two people that wanted him dead more than anyone else had, though he was given a quick and fast death. Archerknight's head was mounted on a spike outside Casterly Rock. He was:

    At his death, the war came to an end, and both Jiggles and Nexus spent the rest of their days in Casterly Rock in peace. They have both won the game.

    Jiggles was:

    and Nexus was:


    The game has ended. properly congradulate the winners, I will get the postgame up later tonight.

    My question for you vintage is why did you decide to put huge gaps in some people's power levels, and how did you balance out such roles?

    Let us all congratulate Vintage Books on his wonderful job as host, especially the organization of the roles. If you look at the playerlist the first five are Starks. Next four are Lannisters, etc.

    In all seriousness though this was a lot of fun and Vintage did a great job. My only regret is that I won so soon and without taking damage at that!

    btw, a question for jalmont and TSO: at any point did you fear you might actually lose to me, or as soon as you realized you could get nexus to help you did you just sit back and laugh at my attempts?

    Last one standing! Good hosting too. (make sure the roles aren't in order with the player list though - got a lot of roles when I worked it out. :P)

    Good game, should have won but fell off the radar. :P

    Why didn't I get healed? /kills Bebbz

    And I should have totally blackmailed IFM

    Yeah great game everyone I had a lot of fun! ^_^

    it was an attempt to see if people would actually believe me and vote poppy. I didn't really expect people to be tricked by it, but no one said anything about it at all -__-

    Well TSO came to me like cycle 6 or something and said, "Hey i need master dead too!" It was easy to team up with him after that, especially since you left me ;_; It wasn't really that we had Nexus on our side (although it certainly helped), it was more that we knew we could just keep distracting you for the rest of the game.

    Either me or TSO distracted you.

    Again GGs to everyone, it was a very good game!

    Well played all winners and well hosted VB.

    It seems while in the last game I was good at deceiving my claimed allies, in this game I was equally good at being deceived by my claimed allies. I commend you jalmont for being able to manipulate the playing field like a true pro.

    About the distracting, why did you bother with that anyway? my role was totally useless late-game. Wouldn't Master and BebbZ be better targets?

    And sorry for abandoning you, I just really didn't have anything to talk about with yah ;~;

    We were also hooking Master. We felt hooking you two was our best bet, as it wouldn't have been beneficial for others to attack us. We didn't want to risk taking damage (especially me as i had no way of getting that HP back) While it's true that Bebbz could heal, we ultimately felt that as long as we could avoid taking damage we would win. These are my thoughts though so TSO feel free to chip in if I forgot something

    POSTGAME

    This was a type of game that was had been planning on hosting for a long while, and I have to say I really enjoyed it. A game like this requires each player to think for themselves, and is much more helpful for players to get better than village-like following the leader. Every player was required to play the game completely or be left behind.

    Note on balancing: It is very difficult to make a game of this sort, that is free for all, have 24 balanced roles. It is nearly impossible. No matter what some roles are going to end up more powerful than some other roles. This actually is not completely under the hosts control either. Many roles can become quite powerful once other roles are out of the game, and in the same light, many roles can become less powerful when other roles are out of the game. There are also many different kinds of roles, as is obvious, and some roles can be quite powerful at the beginning of the game, and become mundane toward the end (e.g. Most variations of inspector) while some roles can become exceptionally powerful toward the end (e.g. extra votes / powerful attacks). So what roles end up being powerful is entirely up to how the game ends up going, and how a player chooses to use their role. I am also not denying that some roles were clearly less powerful than others, but weaker roles can also make the game more of a challenge for players.

    When making this game, specifically when I tried to balance it, I looked at a few things: mainly making sure that the more powerful roles did not share common enemies. A main thing about this game, as there were two large-ish groups of roles, that generally shared a multiple common enemies between them. This was the 5 Stark roles (Catelyn, Robb, Bran, Sansa and Arya) and the 5 Lannister roles (Cersei, Jaime, Tyrion, Tywin and Joffrey) became making the 'groups' of roles that shared common enemies not too powerful as a group. The Stark group had a kidnapper, potential voting presence, HP inspector, role name inspector and a powerful attacker. While the Lannister group had a PM inspector, strong attacks/voting presence, voting redirection, hooker, and an ability redirector. The reason Joffrey, Tywin, Jaime and Cersei all won was mainly due to the early game hapenings when Robb, Sansa and Arya all died, making it difficult for Bran and Catelyn to pick up the pieces and try to get a win. Though the game was not two teams against each other, this is where the rest of the roles come into play, while some being quite underpowered and others overpowered, every player had a chance to win. What goes on early game and the alliances you make, most importantly if your roles mesh well together, is one of the reasons why many players won or lost.

    Anyways, enough tl;dr, lets get into specific roles.

    Fitzy - Died Cycle 2
    Dear Braavos,You are Theon Greyjoy.

    Son of Balon Greyjoy and heir to Pyke. You were ward to Eddard Stark after your fathers failed uprising and you were raised in Winterfell. Due to your nature of being easily persuaded, after travelling back to Pyke, you convinced yourself to aid in the effort to seize the north.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Fake <alias>’s death.” You will pretend to have killed <alias> and thus any votes sent toward them the next cycle will count as 0.

    Max HP: 16
    Attack: 4

    You will win if you are alive when Bran Stark, Jon Snow and Samwell Tarly are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    A next-cycle-vote-saver. Dying quite early, Fitzy's role never played a huge part in the game, due to being a role that would generally become quite a useful role late game. When Archerknight revealed fitzy's role in the thread, he attempted to get allies to help him, but he was unsuccessful, getting lynched in the first 15 HP lynch, and sadly dying. Played well in the time he was alive.

    Drapht - Died Cycle 3
    Dear Raven,
    You are Stannis Baratheon.

    The younger brother of the late king Robert Baratheon and his rightful successor. You are the lord of Dragonstone, and used the city as a base to build your fleet, preparing to attack Kings Landing. You convert to the Lord of Light and forsake the gods of the Seven Kingdoms by burning their statues alongside your priestess Melisandre at Dragonstone.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Surround <alias> with your fleet.” Throughout the cycle, <alias> will be protected by your fleet, and will be unable to be damaged by any attacks.

    Max HP: 18
    Attack: 4

    You will win if you are alive when Ser Loras Tyrell, Ser Jorah Mormont and Margaery Tyrell are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    An attack bodyguard. Was unfortunately lynched immediately after Fitzy, and died. He played well, though his role did not prove to be useful at all, mainly due to either lack of information, and IFM redirecting his BG's.

    Darkkis - Died Cycle 3
    Dear Banner,
    You are Sansa Stark.

    Daughter of Eddard and Catelyn Stark and was betrothed to marry the current king, Joffrey Baratheon. You travelled to live in Kings Landing when your father became hand of the king, and loved it at first. After your father was killed, you became a prisoner of war, your only friend is your hand maiden Shae.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX – Ask Shae to find information on <alias>.” Shae will come back to you, but she will only find out <alias>’s role name. Because no one suspects you or your handmaiden, Shae, you will find out <alias>’s role name regardless of someone trying to interfere.

    Max HP: 18
    Attack: 2

    You win if you are alive when Joffrey Baratheon, Margaery Tyrell and Cersei Lannister are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    A role name inspector. Again due to dying early, his role did not eventuate to be very successful. Darkkis died due to being attacked repeatedly by meowmix, jalmont and jiggles, resulting in his death.

    Celestial Phantom -
    Died Cycle 3
    Dear Dragon,
    You are Arya Stark.

    Daughter of Eddard and Catelyn Stark, always being mistaken for a boy. You, alongside your sister moved to Kings Landing when your father became Hand of the King. With your trusty sword ‘needle’ you managed to escape Kings Landing when your father was executed. With your friend Gendry and the help of Jaqen H’ghar you managed to escape capture.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM entitled “CX - Name <alias> to Jaqen.” <alias> will take 5 damage to their HP. You may only use this 3 times during the game.

    Max HP: 18
    Attack: 3

    You win if you are alive when Tywin Lannister, Petyr Baelish and Ser Loras Tyrell are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    A potentially very powerful role late-game. With, in essence three 8 HP attacks throughout the game, Celestial could have been very powerful. Though it was never used to its full potential. Celestial died due to multiple attacks from users over all three cycles, resulting in a loss of all HP.

    Poignantlyrics / Kyuremkiller56 -
    Died Cycle 3
    Dear Warlock,
    You are Robb Stark

    The eldest son of Eddard and Catelyn Stark. You became Lord of Winterfell when your father left, but left winterfell when your father was accused of treason and bringing your army south to attack the lannisters. You have a direwolf named Grey Wind who accompanies you in battle.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM entitled “CX - Call the Stark bannerman, <name> to arms.” You will create a bannerman who will appear on the alias list as <name>. A bannerman has a Max HP of 1, an Attack of 0, and a Vote of 1. You may have a maximum of 5 bannermen at once.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Command <name> bannerman to vote for <alias>.” The specified bannerman will place a vote for <alias>, with this vote being revealed at the time of update. A bannerman dies after voting, and you may have as many bannermen vote as you want during a cycle. This action can be performed while kidnapped.

    Max HP: 18
    Attack: 4

    You will win if you are alive when Ser Jorah Mormont, Tywin Lannister and Petyr Baelish are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    Poignantlyrics was a very pivotal player early game, attempting to control the players early on, and also trying to eliminate jalmont from the game early on, by targeting his supposed alias, 'other'. His role was never given a chance to make any kind of impact due to his reveal and becoming a huge target. When he had to leave and Kyuremkiler56 came into the game as a sub, nothing of importance happened, other than kk56 being an idiot mainly. Despite that, Poignantlyrics played very well early on.

    Nainil -
    Died Cycle 5
    Dear Rhaego,
    You are Jon Snow.

    The supposed bastard son of Eddard Stark who was raised in winterfell. You took the black of the night's watch and became a brother. You always wanted to be a ranger, but became a member of the order of the squires instead.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Encourage <alias1> to turn against <alias2>.” <alias1> will change their attack to <alias2>. They will be notified of the change at the end of the cycle if it is successful.

    Max HP: 18
    Attack: 4

    You will win if you are alive when Mance Rayder, Theon Greyjoy and Daenerys Targaryen are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    An attack re director. Unfortunately Nainil was away for some time during cycles 2-3 and was not able to make any kind of large impact on the game before he was lynched.

    Lamperi -
    Died Cycle 5
    Dear Bloodrider,
    You are Ser Loras Tyrell.

    Also known as the Knight of the Flowers. You are the former squire and lover of the late Renly Baratheon and now a knight. You supported Renly’s claim to the throne, but vowed to avenge his death.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Fight to protect <alias>.” Due to your skill as a knight you will fight off any attackers that aim to harm <alias> and he will not take any damage.

    Max HP: 16
    Attack: 6

    You will win if you are alive when Stannis Baratheon, Ser Davos Seaworth and Arya Stark are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    Another attack BG. Was very compatible to be allied with Jalmont, but chose not to enter any kind of alliance, was also closely allied with IFM, helping him lynch 'Waterdancer' before his untimely death. Due to his incredible attack power, Lamperi was able to heavily damage a few users before dying, though. Played quite well.

    Fegelein -
    Died Cycle 6
    Dear Wildling,
    You are Tyrion Lannister.

    Otherwise known as the Imp. You are dwarf brother of the Queen, known for his intelligence and wit, more than his skill with a sword. You were accused of plotting to murder Bran Stark, but were released after a trial, you became temporary hand to King Joffrey, living in Kings Landing with your lover, Shae.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Buy whore for <alias>.” <alias> will accept your gift without question, and thus will be too distracted to execute any actions. You cannot target the same <alias> on consecutive cycles, as <alias> will be bored and will not be interested in the same whore.

    Max HP: 18
    Attack: 3

    You will win if you are alive when Lysa Arryn, Varys and Joffrey Baratheon are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    An all-actions Hook. Was generally not a huge impact player on the game, went along with lynches and flew under the radar quite a bit. Meowmix got lucky on getting the lynch on fegelein however, due to no one questioning the lynch and managing to snipe an enemy. Played moderately well, though could have been more forward with his play.

    PokeworldBW - Died Cycle 6
    Dear Waterdancer,
    You are Lysa Arryn.

    Wife of the late Jon Arryn, sister of Catlyn Stark and lady regent of the Vale, ruling on behalf of your son, Robin. You suspected the Lannisters after the death of your husband, and fled to the Eyrie. You are in constant fear for your son's safety, and therefore do not let the knights of the Vale get involved in the war.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Disallow <alias> from entering the Eyrie.” If <alias> intends of attacking you this cycle, they will be unable to.

    Because you are constantly hidden away in the Eyrie, all attacks aimed at you will be reduced by 1.

    Max HP: 21
    Attack: 2

    You will win if you are alive when Tyrion Lannister, Melisandre and Tywin Lannister are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    When i designed this role, it was intended to be a quite underpowered role in terms of attack, but a role that would result in being incredibly difficult to kill. PokeworldBW proved to be just that, making it incredibly difficult for IFM to kill him, even after a lynch. Played quite well, but got unlucky when he ended up being IFM's last enemy, who managed to get a band of players up to attack and eventually kill him.

    IFM - Won Cycle 6
    Dear Vale,
    You are Tywin Lannister.

    The head of House Lannister and Father of the Queen and the Lord commander of the Kingsguard. You are the head of the richest family in the Seven Kingdoms, and thus the richest man. During the war you have been commanding from your base at Harrenhal.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Pay<alias1> to visit <alias2>.” Due to being the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms, <alias1> will target <alias2> with the ability actions that he is performing this cycle (not attacks). Because <alias1> will be too busy spending the money they have received, <alias1> may not be the same <alias> on consecutive cycles.

    Max HP: 18
    Attack: 3


    You will win if you are alive when Arya Stark, Robb Stark and Lysa Arryn are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    The first winner. IFM's role was a hit or miss role. A role that can be an incredible role if used correctly and with enough knowledge, but a role that can be nearing on useless without any information. IFM played quite well, getting information on his enemies without wait, and getting allies quick enough to enable him to grab the first win.

    Water - Died Cycle 7
    Dear Kraken,
    You are Mance Rayder.

    Known as the King beyond the wall and leader of the freefolk. You are a deserter from the night's watch who gained enough respect to become the king of the wildlings, due to uniting all the wildling tribes. You are the enemy of the night’s watch, due to raising an army to march on the wall.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Send wildlings to spy on <alias>.” You will receive <alias>’s forum name at the end of the cycle.

    Max HP: 18
    Attack: 3

    You will win if you are alive when Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly and Varys are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    Forum name inspector. Was a great player early on, and made a good effort to stop himself from being lynched. His ability got him quite a bit of information, which he was able to use to post the player - alias list in the thread before his death, pretty much making all still alive inspectors mundane.

    Rehx - Died Cycle 8
    Dear Valyria,
    You are Daenerys Targaryen.

    Daughter of Aerys Targaryen, otherwise known as the Mad King, the true dragon and wife of the late Khal Drogo. You were exiled to the free cities when your father was killed, and now travel with your Kalasar trying to find a way home, hopefully with the help of your recently hatched dragons. You are the heir the the Seven Kingdoms and have a claim to the throne by birthright.


    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Take care of the dragons.” Instead of attacking this cycle, you will look after your dragons, growing them, permanently increasing your Attack by 1. Your Attack can only go up to a maximum of 5. This action may not be performed on cycle 0.

    Max HP: 18
    Attack: 3


    You will win if you are alive when Varys, Joffrey Baratheon and Jon Snow are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    Quite an aggressive player, and a player with honor. His constant effort to help his allies more than himself was ultimately his downfall. He was damaged heavily early game, and even though he was allied with a healer (bebbz) he was unable to withstand the lynch. A good player, but layed too much with his heart than his head.

    Meowmix - Won Cycle 8
    Dear Other,
    You are Joffrey Baratheon.

    Supposed son of Robert Baratheon and Cersei Lannister and current king of the Seven Kingdoms. It is rumored that you are, in fact, the bastard son of Jaime Lannister, and thus many people do not accept your claim to the throne. You are a cruel and sadistic king, and not well respected among the seven kingdoms.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Command <alias1> to vote for <alias2> under the threat of treason.” Due to the threat of treason, <alias1>’s vote will count for <alias2> no matter what <alias1>’s vote in the thread is. <alias1> will not know of this.

    Because you are current King, your vote will count as 3.

    Max HP: 21
    Attack: 3

    You will win if you are alive when Sansa Stark, Daenerys Targaryen and Tyrion Lannister are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    A role that had great power when it came to the voting. Meowmix was able to take control of the few lynches before his win, and had a firm grasp on the direction of the game for a large portion of it. Made allies quickly, and was able to make an excellent play which gave him the win, sneak lynching Rehx to kill him.

    Xinc - Won Cycle 8
    Dear Shadowcat,
    You are Varys.

    A eunuch and the master of whisperers on the kings small council otherwise known as The Spider. You have informants across two continents, and your ‘little birds’ tell you all your information. A skilled manipulator, you are excellent at seeming innocent.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Send little birds after <alias>.” Your little birds will tell you which aliases targeted <alias> during this cycle, and whether it was an attack or an ability.

    Due to your influence over the king and the small council, your vote counts as 2.

    Max HP: 24
    Attack: 1

    You will win if you are alive when Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister and Mance Rayder are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    Despite managing to grabp a win, Xinc never made full use of his ability. Was lucky enough to get 2 of his enemies killed earlier on in the game, and then teamed up with meowmix to get Rehx which got him the win. A lucky win, but played well regardless.

    Redjoker25 - Died Cycle 9
    Dear Shaggydog,
    You are Catelyn Stark.

    Nee Tully. The wife to former Hand of the King, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North. You have 5 children and will do anything to get them back alive.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Seize <alias> for their crimes against your House.” You and the Tully banner men will take <alias> and steal them away to the Eyrie for a trial, where he will stay for all of the following cycle. While <alias> is at the Eyrie, he will be too high up to perform actions or have actions performed on him, and any vote that <alias> makes in the thread will not be counted.

    If you have a person who is kidnapped, you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX – Put guest in a sky cell.” Mord the turnkey will smack whoever is kidnapped around a bit, dealing 4 HP damage to him.

    Max HP: 18
    Attack: 3

    You win if you are alive when Cersei Lannister, Jaime Lannister and Ser Jorah Mormont are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    Quite a powerful role throughout the game. rj25 was able to immobilize strong roles throughout the game, but due to lack of alliances and information, this ended up helping other players much more than himself. Despite that, he still made a good impact on the game until the players realised he would be very powerful late game and did not want him around, therefore lynching him at Zzyzx's command.

    Zzyzx Road - Won Cycle 9
    Dear Spider,
    You are Ser Jorah Mormont.

    An exiled knight from Westeros, who is currently living among the Dothraki in Essos. You are known as Jorah the Andal among the Dothraki. You have sworn fealty to Daenerys Targaryen, and you are helping her get back to the Seven Kingdoms.


    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Guard <alias> with your life.” You will spend night and day guarding <alias> and thus <alias> will be protected from any attack aimed at them. Instead you will take the damage from the attack, though due to your skill with a sword, the redirected damage will decrease by one.

    Because you treated by the handmaidens of the Kalasar, you will automatically heal 1 HP at the end of each cycle.

    Max HP: 18
    Attack: 3

    You will win if you are alive when Robb Stark, Stannis Baratheon and Catelyn Stark are dead.

    [/HIDE]
    Slipped under the radar quite a bit throughout the game, never drawing much attention to himself. Again Zzyzx was a player who's role did not come into the game a great deal, he was also another somewhat lucky win, managing to be rid of two enemies early on, and eliminating the third on a well timed, well reasoned lynch. Well played.

    LordKX - Died Cycle 10
    Dear Lady,
    You are Petyr Baelish.

    The head of House Baelish and master of coin in the kings small council, otherwise known as Littlefinger. You are an excellent manipulator and liar, who maintains that he shouldn't be trusted. You sided with the Lannisters after Robert Baratheon’s death.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “Study information known” In the body of the PM you are to write a statement that can be said to be either “True” or “False.” This statement may not contain more than two aliases, and it may only contain one Pokemon Online name or role name. This statement will be displayed publicly in the update, but only you will be told whether the statement is True or False.

    Max HP: 18
    Attack: 3

    You will win if you are alive when Melisandre, Arya Stark and Robb Stark are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    Quite an underpowered role that KX never managed to unlock its full potential. This was due to a few reasons, he chose to use role names+forum names without using it to potentially gather information of is enemies aliases, and due to him being tandem hooked for the last 5 or so cycles by Sexi and Jalmont. Played well but fell into unfortunate circumstances that he was unable to get out of.

    Master12345 - Died Cycle 11
    Dear Poppy,
    You are Ser Davos Seaworth.

    A knight in service of Stannis Baratheon, and known as the Onion Knight. You were knighted when you aided Stannis during the siege of Dragonstone, by smuggling onions into the city to provide them with food. You are suspicious of Stannis’ Priestess Melisandre and have no intrest in the gods, though your son Matthos was converted..

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Deprive <alias> of onions.” <alias> will be starved during the next Cycle, and any vote they make in the thread will not count, they will not know of this.

    At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Watch <alias> eat onions.” From the amount of onions they eat, you will be able to determine their strength, obtaining their HP at the end of the cycle.

    Max HP: 16
    Attack: 2

    You will win if you are alive when Margaery Tyrell, Ser Loras Tyrell and Melisandre are dead.
    [/HIDE]
    Another player that fell to unfortunate circumstances. Despite being the final enemy of another player, Master12345 was able to keep himself alive (with assistance) for quite some time, despite being almost lynched multiple times. Played well, but was unable to make much of an impact due to being a target for a great amount of cycles.

    BebbZ

    [FONT=Arial]You are Samwell Tarly.[/FONT]

    [FONT=Arial]A squire in the night's watch who believes himself to be a coward. You intelligent and learned, and became a squire to help at castle black due to being completely unskilled at combat. [/FONT]

    [FONT=Arial]At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - Help <alias> get their strength back.” You will tend to <alias> until they are healed, healing them of 10 HP. Due to you busying over them, <alias> will be unable to attack anyone this cycle.[/FONT]

    [FONT=Arial]At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX - read books about <alias>.” You will find information on <alias> thus learning their current HP.[/FONT]

    [FONT=Arial]Attack: 2[/FONT]

    [FONT=Arial]You will win if you are alive when Jaime Lannister, Mance Rayder and Theon Greyjoy are dead.[/FONT]
    [/HIDE]
    One of the more powerful roles in the game, high HP, 10HP heal and a HP inspector. BebbZ played very well early game, finding himself allies, and getting rid of two enemies early game. Despite this, he became helpless late game when he could not find enough allies to help his cause.

    jalmont - Won Cycle 11
    [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Dear Black,[/FONT][/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]You are Margaery Tyrell.[/FONT][/COLOR]

    [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]You will win if you are alive when Ser Davos Seaworth, Stannis Baratheon and Sansa Stark are dead.[/FONT][/COLOR]
    [/HIDE]
    Another one of the more powerful roles. Managed to troll early game by convincing poignantlyrics that his alias was Other, confusing and angering multiple players. jalmont played very aggressively, choosing to blackmail/backstab players to get stuff done, and fell victim to lack of allies late game. Despite this, he was able to get Jiggles, Sexi and Nexus on his side, which eventually got him the win.
    [B]
    TheSexiOne - Won Cycle 11
    [/B][SPOILER][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Dear Maester,[/FONT][/COLOR]

    TSO played very well throughout the game. Teaming up with Jalmont late game got him the win, despite having to backstab previous allies.

    [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]At any time you may send Vintage Books a PM titled “CX – Ask Maester Luwin to check up on <alias>.” Maester Luwin who is your adviser will check up on <alias> and determine his HP at the end of the cycle.[/FONT][/COLOR]

    [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Because you are protected by the wildling Osha, any attack aimed at you will be reduced by 1.[/FONT][/COLOR]

    [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Max HP: 24[/FONT][/COLOR]

    [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]You win if you are alive when Theon Greyjoy, Cersei Lannister and Jaime Lannister are dead.[/FONT][/COLOR]
    [/HIDE]
    Another quite strong role, though archer fell victim early on due to both Jiggles and Cake/Nexus defeating their other allies early on in the game. Played very well from start to end, but ended up helpless in the last few cycles.
    [B]
    Jiggles - Won Cycle 12
    [/B][SPOILER][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Dear Dorne,[/FONT][/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]You are Cersei Lannister.[/FONT][/COLOR]

    [/HIDE]
    Jiggles was a very good player overall. Her ability proved to be very useful, and Jiggles had a lot of control over information going around. Managing to get strong allies early on helped jiggles the most. A very well deserved win.

    Demonic Cake / Nexus[/B][B] - Won Cycle 12

    [/HIDE]
    Cake played well early on, but was unlucky, and was the last player to still have all three enemies alive. I was quite tentative subbing Nexus in, due to his inexperience in mafia, though i had no one else. Nexus played extremely well, managing to get al thee of his enemies out and getting himself the win. This role was most definatley one of the strongest, however.

    [B]AWARDS!!!!

    Best Player: Meowmix

    Worst Player: Kyuremkiller56

    Funniest Player: jalmont

    Best Play: Meowmix lynching Rehx

    Worst Play: IFM using his ability to try and get jalmont to hook PokeWorldBW, but healing him instead

    Nastiest Play - Bebbz healing Poppy when he was on 2 HP

    Honorable mention to players that played well, but fell to unfortunate circumstances and deserved a win but didn't quite get there: Archerknight, BebbZ, Lamperi, Poignantlyrics(due to being subbed).

    [COLOR=Navy][SIZE=4]Congratulations to IFM, Meowmix, Xinc, Zzyzx Road, Jalmont, TheSexiOne, Jiggles and Nexus for their win.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

    you don't think I deserved a win? that's hurtful VB....... anyway, overall great job hosting, and nice postgame. It didn't go into full detail of alliances, however, I believe it captured the way most people played quite well.

    Woop! Would have won a cycle earlier without that fuck up. I'll post my thoughts on the game after dinner.
