for the final.

Yes, everything has already been decided, and my vote is for the final newspaper - _ -

And I'm voting for Assaj to win in the final :p

Good game. For the final match.

For the final battle.

For the final

Actually, there aren't even enough votes for an execution, but since everyone is asking...

The day is over.

dimka48000 has been executed. The details of the execution can be found in the newspaper.

Count Dooku ascended to the bridge of the Separatist flagship and gave the order to advance on the capital of the Republic. The massive space fleet accelerated and entered hyperspace. Within a minute, they were in position. Ahead, neat rows of enemy cruisers were visible. Neither side was in a hurry to begin the battle.

A tiny shuttle followed the Separatist fleet and arrived at Coruscant with it. Fortunately for Asajj, no one noticed her. She docked with Dooku's ship and burst inside.
— Alert! Alert! Alert! — the siren sounded everywhere.
Combat droids rushed to the site of the hull breach, but Ventress was already sneaking towards the bridge.

Padmé Amidala was speaking in the Senate.
— We must end this war! Thousands, millions of casualties among the civilian population, the destruction of infrastructure on planets in both the Outer and Inner Rings, the waste of natural resources... Is it worth it for partial control of the Galaxy?
Voices of approval were heard from all sides. But suddenly, the speech was interrupted. The senators looked anxiously at the eastern entrance, where there was a commotion: red and purple flashes constantly appeared.
— You will not destroy the Republic! — Master Windu roared. — Now you will answer for everything, and no medical droid with a malfunctioning program, such as ToX, will save you!
Ment swung, and the axe clanged over the Jedi's head.
Savage growled and began to attack the Jedi with increasing ferocity. Beads of sweat appeared on Wulfgar's forehead. It was becoming increasingly difficult for him to deflect the new blows. The Master would have fallen, but a shot rang out. Rudyy, whose platform was still hovering in the center of the hall, shouted:
— This is for Anakin!
Ment gasped and collapsed, falling over the railing.

A fierce battle unfolded over the planet. Turbolaser and ion projectiles merged into a continuous stream. Zybr darted around the Republic flagship, each time warning with a deafening screech of a breach. Without him, Ple-Sen, who was commanding the battle, would have suffocated long ago, because even such a Force-sensitive being cannot exist without air.
— We must strike Dooku's ship. Cut off the head, and the body will die! — the Master commanded.
The significantly depleted fleet reorganized and moved into a decisive attack.

— Why, Master? Why? — Dooku and Ventress clashed in a duel.
The bridge was littered with droid parts. Breaking through to the center was not easy.
— I didn't want to! This is the will of the Lord! — replied the gray-haired elder.
— The Lord is dead! And soon you will join him!
Red blades cut through everything they touched as if it were butter. The duelists were so engrossed that they did not notice how they turned the control panel into a pile of scrap metal.

Around the Separatist flagship, the protective field disappeared with a final flash. Ple-Sen raised his cane and ordered:
— Relay to all ships: concentrate fire on Dooku!

Sub Zero swung his dual blades, preparing to cut down his opponent, but the ship shook, and the duelist lost her balance. dimka48000 brought the blade to the throat of his former student and said:
— I'm sorry. I really am...
A Republican projectile hit the command center.

Flames raged on the bridge of the Separatist flagship, and a turbolaser volley hit the hangar. Fuel barrels exploded, causing a chain reaction throughout the ship. The explosions did not stop, parts of the ship were scattered, and Sub Zero and dimka48000 turned into cosmic dust.

Victory for the Town!
You played well, but I wouldn't say it was very difficult. More than half the work was done by the night actions and shots; during the day, the Mafia and the Maniac didn't create many problems, and they ultimately paid the price for it. Most of the clues are quite straightforward, but you can use them to sway the vote if you want. Except for the first clue about Mental. But the real issue wasn't that, but the fact that the second clue also pointed to him, so probability played a role, and there weren't many other options.
I'll mention the difficult clues:

Clue: The Fibonacci sequence, which is key to the plot of Dan Brown's novel "The Da Vinci Code." Lew Tibbing, the character in this work, was played by actor Ian McKellen. He also played Gandalf from "The Lord of the Rings" saga. Gandalf and his quote from the first film can be found in SubZero's signature.

It was a long and ambiguous chain of clues. The other clues were different.

Regarding the daytime game, Kosh failed in his behavior. Keep in mind for the future that you can't stubbornly focus on finding only the Maniac; you need to at least show that you're thinking more broadly. The Town needs to vote for everyone, not just one Maniac, unlike the Mafia, and you didn't even consider SubZero's kidnapping as a possibility. But at least you played actively and correctly, which is very commendable. By the way, Ortonn also gave himself away very clearly. He "panicked" as soon as the votes shifted to him. He got nervous and couldn't recover. Negele should have tried to take on my role at the end; maybe she would have voted correctly, who knows.
SubZero was a little too passive, which is probably why he survived until the end. Although, where he wrote, he didn't give off any obvious negative vibes. But it's easier for the Maniac in this sense – he doesn't need to worry about anyone.
Mental was unlucky, but he still managed to take one Mafia member down with him. After being resurrected, he didn't provide much benefit, but that's not his problem :)
I liked Kosh's game; he's getting better and better with each game. :)
I still think Tox's move of resurrecting the Maniac was wrong. In the end, Savage didn't bring us any benefit at night, and if the Medic hadn't saved me, there would have been a shortage of votes at the end, and we would have been relying on the mercy of the Maniac(s). But thank you very much for the save; you guessed correctly.
Wolf, sorry if I said anything offensive. I just take the game more or less seriously and don't like it when it turns into a circus. :)

Thanks to everyone for the game! :)

Couldn't resist, I logged in early this morning :)
City, congratulations on the win, we did great.
Winner, it was a good game, to be honest, at first I didn't want to participate, but then I got hooked.
Zubr, you're awesome. The newbies did well, it's a shame that the two most active ones were killed so early. Tox made me laugh, but then he redeemed himself by saving Zubr. And in general, I wish everyone all the best, you're all great, and you all played well.
As for myself, I always wanted to play as the investigator, and even though I was caught red-handed on the first night, it was even more fun. My accusation of Duke was a spectacularly idiotic move, but I was trying to make sure that if anyone didn't understand who the mafia was, they would.

This time, the town really impressed me compared to the previous game; it's like night and day. Judge for yourselves.
Zubr – 100% successful daytime performance. No comment.
Wulfgar – a very, very good nighttime performance.
Tox – saved Zubr and Rudoy at the very least, and the move with resurrecting the maniac was fun and quite acceptable under the current circumstances. I wouldn't say I would have done the same, but it's quite acceptable, considering the town's daytime advantage.)
Koshka, in my opinion, played well. Nefelu also checked, which was good.
What can I say about myself? I looked at the clue, figured out what was going on, and decided to shift the blame to the mafia. The most interesting thing is that it worked after a while.) Thanks to Tox for letting me play a little longer.
Winner, I enjoyed it, looking forward to the next game.
Let's nominate Zubr as the best player of game 55? He deserves it, doesn't he? He deserves it.
Thanks to everyone, town, congratulations on the victory!

Well done, guys. Mafam didn't get lucky. The balance wasn't really in their favor. And from the team, I'll only mention Ortonn.
Congratulations on the victory.
I'll call Rudoy the best.

GM, thanks for the game, it was very smooth and enjoyable. It's been a long time since I've seen someone being eliminated based on evidence.
As for my game, I played averagely. I understood everything, but I didn't come up with any brilliant ideas. All my tricks, like pretending to be Mafia on the first day, acting like I was clueless while reading the newspaper, didn't work. And my attempt to suggest that the night action of my role was the same as Asoka's, to see who would pretend to be that role (or at least give some information by disagreeing with me, for example, Asoka could have said who was actually doing what) didn't yield any results. I even made a mistake with the night action once, going to Wolf for the second time, thinking he was a Mafia, even though Mafia couldn't kill the day after a double kill.
I liked Kosha, Zubr, and Tox's games the most (besides the targeting of Dag. We haven't interacted much on the forum, but he seemed quite reasonable in private messages, and he was interested in the game's progress after his death).
I liked Ortonnn's game, but he doesn't seem to know how to lose, so the ending was a bit disappointing. Kosha was active, but he wasn't given much opportunity to play. The Cop did a good job, holding his ground and eliminating the town in the end. *smirks* Nefela seemed peaceful for a long time, and she handled herself well during the elimination, so I even doubted she was Mafia and started questioning ZUBR to make sure she wasn't a mouse. Subzero played at about my level, I think. The others (Ar, Plesen, Dimka, Neyra) were not very active. I don't even remember Rimple's messages. If I forgot anyone, it's just because they didn't stand out.
I would still call Kosha the best player. He understood the roles of the players well. I explained why not Tox. As for why not Zubr, I don't know. Maybe it's because he focused more on suspecting me at the end, rather than planning for the possibility that the Cop would decide to play his own game (although, as I said, my overall impression was very positive, this is just my opinion, and I didn't want to offend anyone).
I would say that the main characteristic of this game was that it was played by a team, rather than by individual stars. There were no brilliant moves, but also no major mistakes.

Well, that's the case.
We have Zubr, Rudyy, Drakkosha, me, and partially Ment.
Guys, no offense, but against such a lineup, you need to have two or three active and strong players on the Mafia side as well.
And not just one Ortonnna.

Although, as an individual, I found the return of the maniac amusing, I was disappointed (or rather, let down, as people usually say) that he played so cautiously; I would have liked to see him go all out at the end! It's a shame Lynx isn't playing; that girl sometimes brought real excitement to the game! And Sha has to do almost all the work on her own.

Added 4 minutes later

Well, that's true.
We have Zubr, Rudyy, Drakkoshka, me, and partially Ment.
Guys, no offense, but against such a lineup, you need to have two or three active and strong personalities among the Mafia as well.
And not just one Ortonnna.

and, most importantly, they should be modest, yeah.
