Quebbster - You are Willow Rosenberg [Mafia / Pusher / Power Changer], former wallflower turned turned ultra redhot powerful wiccan, played by the alluring Alyson Hannigan, from Buffy: TVS.
Through some major bad mojo, you've found yourself in this little town. Normally, that wouldn't drive you off the deepend, but the magical energy that brought you here was unlike anything you felt before, and it drove you to Dark Willow levels immediately. You've recovered, but in that short-period of time, you learned that your soul had been ripped from your very core. In fact, anyone with red hair had their soul ripped from them. Previously just a joke... now it was fact:
Gingers have no souls.
Unshackled by any sense of morality, you have now gathered together a handful of redheads to set the town ablaze, and leave a trail of dead bodies. Perhaps you will gain your soul back once everyone else loses theirs.
As the Don of the Better Red Than Dead Mafia, you are completely Unkillable at night, and require 2/3 protection. You also appear Town to investigators. Willow. Is. Bad. ###.
Each night, you may target a player A and Push them in front of another player B (but not yourself). Anyone targeting B will target A.
Also, if you so choose, you may instead select one of your Mafia members and change their power. You may select from: Roleblock, Misdirect, Doctor, Vote Steal, or Track. This cannot be misdirected. They will gain this new power (and lose their old one) until you die, or you change them back.

Gains access to all Mafia Hit powers if he is final member alive
Was able to remain in the shadows like a good Don. Allowed his team to make a lot of decisions, which is always nice
*
sstralkowski - You are Kari Byron [Mafia / RB / Lie Detect / PowerCop-Hit], cohost of the long-running series Mythbusters, and single-handedly has made science sexy.
Originally brought on for some random one-off experiments, you've become one of the major faces on the show, debunking myths and occassionally proving the most outlandish ideas possible. You have found yourself in this strange town, and after the young witch informed you you had no soul, you knew immediately it was true.
Each night, if you are not chosen for the hit, you may target a player and created an intricate scenario of traps and pulleys, stopping them form completing any action... Also, instead of RB'ing, you may instead select a Post Number and learn if a statement is True or False. Not the best power for scum, but you never know.
Anyway, if you are chosen for the hit, through a series of tests, you will learn your target's Power.
Caught fairly early, and tried to make a deal against a non-existent cult. Outed the Mafia/Neutral theme, to the detriment of Silver
*
Immortal_Raven - You are Jessica Hamby [Mafia / Cont MD / Mult-MD], fresh-faced vampire form the HBO series True Blood, played by the delectable Deborah Ann Woll.
Raised as a good Christian girl, you were always a tad rebelious, but you had no idea your wild side would lead you to becoming one of the undead. You're incredibly young for a vampire, but you still have all of their power... you're particularly skilled with the ability to glamour humans. As a vampire, you've heard the taunts that you had no soul... but now, in this strange new town, it's become true, and your anger cannot be sated.
Each night, if you are not chosen for the hit, you may target a player and force them to target a player of your choice. Also, instead of Cont MDing, you may actually target two separate players and Misdirect them both.
If you are chosen for the hit, your strength will allow you to overcome anyone trying to stop you. You will be Un'RBable
Played really well, and was a force on the proboards. Only knock I'd give him was claiming from True Blood... Rokk was able to point out the redhea immediately
*
gfishfunk - You are Joan Harris (nee Holloway) [Mafia / Guide+Doctor / RB-Hit], volumptuous office manager played by the curvaceous Christina Hendricks, from the hit show Mad Men.
I must admit, I've never watched Mad Men… but man do I love me some Christina Hendricks. Mreow. Anyway, you are a sassy, sexual woman working in a field dominated by men with egos bigger than some buildings, but you have a habit of getting all the men in line when things need to get done.
Each night, you may target a player, and help them completed their objective, and protect them from any harm. You will Guide, as well as Doctor them.
If you are chosen for the hit, you will use your considerable physical assets and distract your target from completing their action before killing them.
A fantastic newbie player who relished in the informed minority aspect of the proboards, coming up with multiple notes and theories. I think his not hammering TBB was smart... Again, two minutes was all that was left when Mags hammered.
*
Malakim2099 - You are Amy Pond [Mafia / Ghostwriter / Weakener / Magnet-Hit] ], the girl who waited, played by divine Karen Gillan, from the latest Doctor Who series..
Growing up with a crack in one's wall usually wouldn't cause most people to panic. Most people aren't Amelia Pond, and most people's cracks aren't cracks in the universe. Growing up so close to the crack has allowed you access to a power of creation... just by thinking, you can actually bring people into being. You're not a stranger to finding yourself in a new location... but your lack of a soul has unshackled you of all gentleness you may have had left.
Each night, you may insert a section into the night's writeup. If you would like to make a more proactive action, you may target a player and permenantly lower their required vote total by 1.
If you are chosen for the hit, you will force the target to target you instead of their normal action, then you will kill them. NOTE: this does not provide kill protection.
Caught early, and confused the Oracle with a Day Cop, which then led the Mafia to think spworld couldn't be misdirected. Plus, they began believing their own lie of a Cult.. Used the Weakening every night... I was surprised, I thought the ghostwrite was ripe for fake claims
*
The BoyBlunder - You are Claudia Donovan [Mafia / Show->ActorCop / Silencer / Cloak-Hit], computer hacker and agent in training played by the pixie-cute, Allison Scaglitotti, from Warehouse 13
Super-genius in a super-cute frame, Claudia is a whiz when it comes to computers, and is slowly but surely proving herself to be a great future Warehouse agent. Losing your soul has opened up the floodgates of the new world's worst nightmare: a hacker with absolutely no moral boundaries.
Each night, you may target a player and investigate them. The first time you target them, you will learn what TV show they are from. If you target them a second time, you will learn which Actor portrays them. Also, being affiliated with the Warehouse, you have access to the Tesla gun. You may target a player, and stun them, Silencing them for the following day. You may not target the same person on consective nights.
If you are chosen for the hit, you will appear Town to investigators.
Played very well, although seeing as he didn't claim early, it put a target on him endgame. Only mistake was talking the day he silenced Gfish, methinks.
*
The Blonde Neutrals
Thawmus - You are Callisto [Neutral / UnRB'able SK], bleach-blond mass murderer played by the seductress Hudson Leick, from the classic Xena: Warrior Princess.
Callisto is the textbook case of nature vs. nurture… if it wasn't for Xena slaughtering her family in front of her, she probably would have lived a normal life. Instead, driven insane by their death, Callisto becomes one of the most vile killers of the age, dies multiple times and always coming back for more.
Finding yourself in a a new land, you have found someone very much like yourself - Silver Lantern / Daenerys Targaryen - and the two of you will kill all who stand in your way. You may communicate freely and submit actions together
Each night, one of you MUST target someone and kill them. Callisto's Kill cannot be Roleblocked. The other may either Doctor / Roleblock / Track.
Double Trouble - Once per game, both of you may take a kill action.
You win when you eliminate all threats to you both
Got really unlucky with Wade role copping him. It was at that point I realized Wade's role was way too overpowered, 'cause Callisto couldn't even pretend to be friendly. Great day conversation had the mafia thinking he was a lawyer
*
Silver Lantern - You are Daenerys Targaryen [Neutral / UnTrk'able SK], bleach-blond heir to the throne of the Seven Kingdoms played by the exquisite Emilia Clarke, from the period fantasy drama, Game of Thrones
Banished from your homeland upon the death of your father, you spent years under the hard thumb of your twin brother... but it was after your arranged marriage to the barbarian Kal Droga that you came out of your shell. You have now embraced your dragonborn heritage and will one day sit upon the throne of the Seven Kingdoms
Finding yourself in a a new land, you have found someone very much like yourself - Thawmus / Callisto - and the two of you will kill all who stand in your way. You may communicate freely and submit actions together.
Each night, one of you MUST target someone and kill them. Daenarys Targaryen's Kill cannot be Tracked. The other may either Doctor / Roleblock / Track.
Double Trouble - Once per game, both of you may take a kill action.
You win when you eliminate all threats to you both
Got VERY unlucky as he was show copped by Mafia early, ad they knew blondes we're Neutral. Cont MD'd most of the rest of the game, but he didn't make any other kills, other than N2 (and failing to kill Willow Night 1)
*
Wade Wilson - You are Carrie Mathison [Neutral / Name Cop Bounty Hunter], bipolar superagent from the hit new show Homeland, played by the porcelain Claire Danes.
You are one of the CIA's most skilled agents, both in the field and behind the desk, able to see connections that many would miss. However, you also secretly deal with your bipolar disorder by self-medicating with clonozapine, a fact that sometimes cause you to act out in self-destructive behavior.
You've found yourself transported to a quaint little town where everything seems perfect... but you know something is wrong. You have to catalogue everyone in town, and once you've done that, you know, KNOW, you'll find the danger.
Each night, you may target a player and learn their Name. The following Day, you may PM once a list of the remaining players and guesses as to who they are. I will tell you how many you have right.
As a CIA Agent, this information is CLASSIFIED. You may not provide this information to anyone. However, you can confirm or deny information others may have.
Countdown - You have a limited supply of Clonozapine. After 7 days, you will lose the ability to Name Cop.
Once you have accurately identified all players of either the Town or Mafia, you will leave the game a winner.
I have no idea why I keep including this role, but I do. The Classified aspect helped a bit, and he did well skirting the line. ALMOST modkilled him when he said Thawmus was an angel, but only warned him.
*
Rokk_Krinn - You are Jaime Lannister [Neutral / Debt Payer], the Young Lion, he of killer smile and killer sword, played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in Game of Thrones.
There's a famous saying regarding the Lannister clan… "A Lannister Always Pays His Debts". And here, you certainly will live up to that.
Each night, if you are targeted by a *positive* power (i.e. Doc, Guide, 2x) you will protect that player from a Nightkill. If you are targeted by an *info-gathering* power, you will Roleblock the targeter. Neither of these actions can be Misdirected, and it is not Track/RT-able. It just occurs.
Kingmaker... Kingslayer - Once per game, during the day, you may designate a King. Just PM who you want. I will then inform all players (note all votes will reset, so you can't just turn someone's vote into an Auto-Lynch). Their vote will be the sole power in the day. Whoever they vote for will by lynched. HOWEVER, living up to your name - as long as you are not the player lynched - you will stab the King in the back, killing him.
You are a survivor, and win if you survive until the end of the game.
Spoiler (Click in box to read)
A *negative* power - that wasn't a Roleblock or Kill - would make Jaime Kill the targeter. No, I don't know why I made this a spoiler
Interesting to note, on Day 2, after TBB informed his Mafia buddies Rokk was likely a Lannister, gFish posted this exact thing on the proboards: ""A Lannister pays his debts." I bet something bad happens to people who target him with something bad (RB / MB / Kill), and something good happens to those who target him with something good (doctor / guide / double)." WOW! Anyway, as I said, Rokk was targeted ONCE all game, be a clueless Thor halfway through the game. Regardless, the Kingmaker day was a turning point and he earned the win.
*
The Brunette Town Magnito - You are Blaine Anderson [Town / Encourager], he of the chiselled jaw and angelic voice from the hit show Glee.
You have the innate ability to inspire confidence in others, be it through silent support or your bombastic singing ability. Each night, you may target a player and provide them a second action. This cannot be blocked or misdirected. You cannot target the same player on consecutive nights.
You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated
Played great all game, and aside from Mal N1, had fantastic doubling targets. His last minute hammer was key. Interesting note, Blaine was originally an Inventor with powers based on Katy Perry songs. Changed at last minute because Kyle fit the power better
*
Sigdr - You are Ziva David [Town / Reverse Tracker / Vig], stunning Israeli Mossad agent turned NCIS probie, played by the alluring Cote de Pablo.
You are the ultimate special agent, proficient in multiple weapons and fighting techniques. Each night, you may target a player, and you will learn everyone who targets them.
You also are a lethal weapon. You may choose to target a player and kill them instead. However, since you are now a U.S. citizen, you can't really go around killing people willy nilly anymore. If you kill a Townie, you will not be able to kill someone the following night.
Post Restriction - At least once per day, you MUST post some type of garbled American slang phrase/idiom/cultural reference. I'll try and keep an eye out for it, but if you could point it out to me in your PM, all the better. If you miss this, you will Fail in your action for the night (and a Guide will not overrule it)
You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated
Cracked me up with his post restriction, he did really well with it. Getting called out early hurt a lot, 'cause he was suspicious, but Killing him took out two strong powers
*
Space Jawa - You are Vala Mal Doran [Town / Clue Cop], seductive thief from the long-running sci-fi show, Stargate: SG-1, played by the mysterious Claudia Black.
For years, you were host to a Goa'uld symbiote, but after being separated from the alien, you travelled the stars as master thief and conwoman. While a bit of a a scoundrel, you're a good person at heart... well... "good".
Each night, you may target a player and steal something from them, giving a clue as to their identity.
You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated
Caused a lot of confusion inadvertently early on... Which I thought fit Vala to a T
*
HavokandChaos - You are Anne Glass [Town / Doctor/SemiSilencer], exotic healer, played by the sultry Moon Bloodgood on the new sci-fi series Falling Skies.
For years, you lived a perfect life with your son… until the day the aliens came and took over the planet. Losing nearly everyone in your family has hardened you in ways unimaginable, and you joined the resistance, providing your medical skills to help the cause. You'll be doing the same here.
Each night, you may target a player, and protect them from death. It takes time to recover form serious injuries, however. If you succeed in saving your target from death, they will be silenced the following day for 12 hours.
You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated
Spoiler (Click in box to read)
Can mason with Maggie Green if she targets her
A bit quiet all game, which isn't a problem for a doctor. Had good targets, but with so many outed info gatherers, couldn't protect everyone... Plus, got a bit greedy in targeting themselves
*
kontrol - You are Regina Mills/The Evil Queen [Town / Busdriver / Reluctant Janitor], beautiful cougar, but truly a lion at heart, played by the luxurious Lana Parilla.
In another life, you were a ruler of a vast kingdom, with unlimited power, but a deadly curse seems to have backfired on you, and you are now just a regular old mayor of a little town. However, you are still a master manipulator at heart, and at night you are able to move people around like chess pieces.
Each night, you may target two players, and switch them, so all players targeting one will target the other.
Once per game, you may control one players actions and force them to target another player of your choice. This player is guided and cannot be messed with at all.
Finally, you know something suspicious is going on, but you're not entirely sure what. There are dozens of new arrivals to your Town, some with their own plans. As long as you are not blocked, you will secretly hide the Alignments of all dead bodies, and you alone will learn them. If you ever die, all will be revealed. This is not a trackable power, it just occurs.
You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated
I liked the idea of the evil queen hiding the alignments, I thought it would cause paranoia, especially with the obvious NPCs, but everyone believed his claim. *shrug* Would have died Night 1 if not for a self-BD
*
VenomDaBomb - You are Max Black [Town / Baker], played by the curvaceous cutie Kat Dennings form the new hit comedy 2 Broke Girls.
You're a waitress at a small diner in New York, but you have aspirations to one day open your very own cupcake shop. Nevermind the fact that the cupcake craze is soooooo 2 years ago.
Each night, you may target a player and give them a cupcake. You're welcome to call the cupcake whatever you want. You can even write on it. These cupcakes may have some importance
You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated
Basic note passer that was power copped as Baker upon death. Mafia was utterly confused. Poor VDB, first game back, and runs into bad luck
*
FurbyFrank - You are Andrew Wells [Town / Dragger], mild-mannered demon summoner-cum-Watcher from Buffy: TVS, played by the shy but cute Tom Lenk.
In the past you were always a wallflower and hanger on, but after killing your best friend, you turned a new leaf and redeemed yourself, now fighting on the side of angels. You've come into your own quite a bit, and have even taken on the role of Watcher for the next generation of Slayers. You are still a bit of a storyteller though
Each night, you may target a player and dragged them into the writeup. You may or may not appear.
You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated
His draggings were going to get more an more unbelievable, so as not to be helpful at all, but just died too early. Sad.
*
spworldtour - You are Rupert Giles [Town / AskTheMod / Avenger], dutiful Watcher from Buffy: TVS, played by the oddly sexy Anthony Stewart Head.
You have an immense knowledge of all things good an evil... you just need to do some research. Each night you may Ask The Mod a Yes or No question.
Avenger - Now, you also have a bit of a violent past. Instead of the question power, you may target a player at night. If they made a kill the night before, you will kill them. A successful Avenging grants Lynch protection for the next day.
Note: I stole this power from VenomDaBomb… thought it was cool, and fit Ripper well. I also used this *exact* same role in the Joss Whedon game
You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated.
Spoiler (Click in box to read)
Will Fail and be silenced if he ever asks anything about Quebbster/Willow
Was laser focused with his questions, simply asking if so and so was Town. Then became hilariously inept with the Avenging as he targeted 3 Townies. Still, good play.
*
K-Ness - You are Kyle Trager [Town / Inventor], belly-button-less hottie from the show Kyle XY, played by Matt Dallas.
I'll admit, I've never watched this show… but it certainly sounds interesting. Thankfully, there's always Wiki for these things! You started out as a complete blank slate... couldn't even speak. But as time went on you continued to gain more and more interesting abilities... many which border on the supernatural.
On Day 1, you are not allowed to say anything. However, you can post emoticons if you like. Your choice on that one. Night 1, you will learn how to speak, so you can't really do anything. Starting Day 2/Night 2, you will have access to a number of abilities. All of these are at your disposal, but some powers will take their toll on you. You may not use the same power on consecutive nights:
Polarity Manipulation - You may hover over the ground, making you virtually untargetable by physcial interactions. Note: long-range actions can still reach you. Advanced Intelligence - You may target a player and learn something about them. In this instance: Show Cop Holographic Memory - You may target yourself and learn Everyone who targeted you on a *Prior* night. This can be used for a night in which you failed. Note: you require complete concentration, so for this to work, no one may target you. Enhanced Sight - You can see in the dark, allowing you to Track and Reverse Track your target Enhanced Hearing - You can target a player and learn their intentions for the night. May be power cop. May be tracking. May be both. Telekinesis - You may throw another player in front of another. Basic Push. There are side effects. Superhuman Healing - You may target another player and protect them from death. Basic Doctor.

After he uses TK, he's incredibly weak, and only requires 1/3 to be lynched
Poor K-Ness, failed almost every night, mostly from the Town, and then goes and gets double-killed by the Mafia and Town Succubus. Too bad, I really liked his role.
*
Zyxba - You are Shawn Spencer [Town / Cop] fake psychic extraoirdinaire from the hit show Psych, played by the intentionally smoldering James Roday.
For years, you jumped from one meaningless job to another, until you finally landed on the perfect career: psychic detective! Of course, you're not really psychic, you're just incredibly attentive... plus having a photographic memory helps.
Each night, you may target a player and learn their alignment.
You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated
Basic cop... Not much to say other than his claiming antics early game had me laughing.
*
Ouchmaker - You are Bo Jones [Town / JK->VoteSteal->Kill], sexy succubus played by Anna Silk, on the Canadian sci-fi show, Lost Girl.
You are a magical being - a Fae - raised by humans with no knowledge of your mystical past, until with one kiss, you accidentally killed your first love. Now on the run, you have slowly learned to master your succubus powers... with a simple kiss, you can steal a person's life force. You even have the power to control people at will, as well as kill if need be.
Each night, you may target a player an Jailkeep them, Roleblocking and Doctoring them (they can still be targeted). If you target them on the following night, you will JK+Steal Their Vote for the following day. If you target them for a 3rd consecutive night, you will Roleblock and Kill them. This kill will be Janitored.
You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated
Really liked this role, sexy and dangerous. His stealing of K-Ness's vote - and subsequently not telling me what to do with it - allowed Silver to survive 'majority', which led to the Slayer scenario.
*
ThorKnigh83 - You are Rajesh 'Raj' Koohthrapali [Town / Drunkard], supersmart astrophysicist played by the Indian fox, Kunal Nayyar on the hilarious comedy, The Big Bang Theory.
You are a bit of a horndog when it comes to women, but you have this slight problem in that whenever you're in their presence, you clam up. Thankfully, there's a little thing called beer.
Each night, you MUST choose to either Drink Beer or Not Drink Beer. You MAY then target another player. Depending on your Beer status and sex of your target, the following will happen:
Woman-Drunk: Roleblock (you are quite the lothario while drinking)
Woman-Sober: Misdirect (your utter silence will ocnfuse them
Man-Drunk: Guide (you're their wingman)
Man-Sober: Roleblock (you'll complain about your utter lack of luck with women)
You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated
Some fun powers, but he obviously wasn't paying attention midgame, but it didn't really affect too much.
*
JackofHearts2005 - You are Maggie Greene [Town / Tracker], farm girl loving in a zombie apocalypse, played by the lovely Lauren Cohen.
While the outside world has been dealing with the horrors of the zombie world, you've lived a quiet life on your family's farm, keeping a low profile. But when outsiders show up, you are more than willing to help them find their missing friends and family. A bit of a tomboy at heart, you are skilled at riding and traversing the forests with ease.
Each night, you may target a player a follow them through the night, learning who they target.
You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated
Spoiler (Click in box to read)
Can mason with Anne Glass if she targets her. JackOfHearts, you have gained the ability to Train H&C in the art of Survival. At night, instead of your normal action, you may target H&C. If you succeed, you will provide H&C with a One-Shot Kill ability. This can be reloaded throughout the game.
Surprisingly, never used the Train power on H&C, thought it would have been a gimme. Anyway, did well, and got the Mafia spooked enough to kill him. Got in trouble with RL timing, and just couldn't participate as much as he likely would have liked

"Why would the possibility of me being wrong ever stop me from doing something?"
I really thought I would be able to give my all during paternity leave, but I have no illusions that the longer-than-usual Night phases didn't impact the game. My apologies for the delays, lesson learned: I can devote more time to writeups and the like when I'm at work on break
Way too many straight info-gatherers, especially with a Doubler who could target them multiple - if not consecutive - times. Couple them with a Name Copping Neutral... Yeah, not my best balance there. I probably should have made Giles a Guide.
It his was only my second time using trivia, and it went better this time, it allowed me to use a lot of NPCs. Ironically, the winners were never targeted nefariously, so they never really were protective!
At the beginning of the game, both scum groups were given an option for some secret info. The Mafia learned that the Town had no Blondes, which gave them a huge advantage early on. The SK Duo were given a heads up about the Reluctant Janitor... Which didn't really help them at all :/. In retrospect, neither bit of info should have been given.
As always, I enjoyed the storyline you guys helped build... Although I was kinda hoping Willow would destroy the world, giving me an excuse to jump to HAWT movies...
I really did think there was a cult. I'm curious to know if the Mafia thought there was one or not. I felt there was good writeup basis for there being one during Day 1, and I felt there was an excellent chance SP was the Cult Leader.
A lot of that had to do with everyone and their sister (Silver and I included) could info gather, and SP's power seeming ridiculous to me.
I had most of the mafia nailed from the beginning, but our kills failed pretty much always. I knew gfish was scum after Day 1. Immortal Raven and Mal took another day to figure out. I suspected Ouch (who wasn't Mafia), but didn't feel strongly about it. I had feelings about Quebbs (who was), but nothing too strong there, either. TBB flew under the radar, I had nothing about him.
Silver and Darq can verify these suspicions (including about the cult), as I voiced them privately.
One of the reasons I'm still playing games right now is because I was kinda surprised my hunches were correct so ridiculously early in the game, and I want to keep putting them to the test. The cult was obviously a major flub, but I still feel it wasn't the worst flub. Better to be on guard than to be ignorant.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I was convinced a real cult existed if for no other reaons than I know Darq can balance a game well, golden gem encrusted gloves aside I refused to believe that the town had a cop and a foolproof question asker. It made more sense that he was a cult leader who tried to recruit us since that would likely indicate only town/not town alignments.
As for spotting gff and IR, I kind of yelled at them on the proboard to stop defending me. I knew I was going down, so my best bet was to take every other neutral with me to try and give us some breathing room. Unfortunately, the damage was already done at that point.
When it comes to being mafia, you never publicly defend your buddies in a way that can come back to bite you later on. Always assume that player will die at some point and you want to seem like you were against them. So basically, if it seems like there's even the slightest chance that they'll be lynched, you punch them in the face, kick them in the nuts, and tell them they dress funny. Then go laugh about it on the proboard with them.
Oh, one more thing. That last night, Ouch targeted H&C for a second time, blocking him and putting him under his vote thrall. However, then you can see Ouch was killed. I wasn't entirely sure how I wanted to treat H&C's vote the next day. After some input from other mods, I decided the vote steal didn't happen anymore, since the controller was dead.
"Why would the possibility of me being wrong ever stop me from doing something?"
We definately thought there was a cult because we found spworld''s claim unbelievable.

Well now I feel a lot better. I mean, if you guys had pulled one on me, fine, but I didn't feel that Stan was lying, and had received some sort of PM indicating SP was a cult leader (as is typical when one targets scum).

Oh, one more thing. That last night, Ouch targeted H&C for a second time, blocking him and putting him under his vote thrall. However, then you can see Ouch was killed. I wasn't entirely sure how I wanted to treat H&C's vote the next day. After some input from other mods, I decided the vote steal didn't happen anymore, since the controller was dead.
You made the right call. Exactly what I would have done.
