Since all the votes are in and there has clearly been plenty of time for last minute actions, I'll go ahead and wind up the day.
The frustrated developers decide to solve the faction problem by deleting
Lidku's head and replacing it with a spare
town head they found in the back that wasn't being used by anybody. Once that's finished, the
town finally agree to upload Earth's source code to a gitlab server on Pluto and make it freely available to everyone. Earth undergoes an era of peaceful prosperity for millennia, until the nuclear DDOS wars.
In the meantime, the new unity of purpose makes the source of all the discord easier to pinpoint;
FallacyofUrist, revealed as the
serial molester, is banned from Earth and made to live on the moon in a hut with no cat outfits at all.
Town has won.

Researchers:
Every day, you can choose one target, including yourself. If you are town, your target's alignment will be announced in the main thread. If you are cult, your target's alignment will be announced to all cult members.
Factcheckers:
Every day, you can choose one target, including yourself. If you are cult, your target's alignment will be wrongly announced in the main thread; your target will be said to be town if he is actually cult and vice versa. If you are town, your target's alignment will be wrongly announced to all cult members.
Sacrifices:
Every day, you can choose one target other than yourself, and choose to either protect or interfere. (Either option can be chosen any number of times.)
When you choose to protect: If you are town, and your target is chosen to be recruited into the cult that day, you will be recruited instead. If you are cult, and your target is chosen to by lynched / converted to town that day, you will be converted instead.
When you choose to interfere: If you are town, and your target is a cultist, your target's cult recruitment vote (if any) will be redirected onto you. If you are cult, your target's daily lynch vote will be redirected onto you.
Hecklers:
Every day, you can choose one target other than yourself. If you are town, and your target is a cultist, your target will be unable to vote for cult recruitment that day. If you are cult, your target will be unable to vote for the daily town lynchconversion.
Brainwashers:
Every day, you can choose one target, including yourself. If you are town, your target cannot be recruited by the cult today. If you are cult, your target cannot be lynchconverted to town the following day.
Once per game, you may choose to convert one target to your alignment. You regain this ability if your alignment changes.
The
Serial Molester:
You always appear as town to townies and as cult to cultists. You cannot be converted. You win when the day number exceeds the number of players.
Once per game, you can choose to swap the alignments of a number of targets equal to half the day number, rounded up.
Once per game, you can have your alignment announced as the alignment of your choice, to your choice of the main thread or all cult members.
Once per game, you can redirect the votes of a number of targets equal to half the day number, rounded up, to the target of your choice.
I haven't done anything all game because my ability stops people from voting, which is useless.
I found this funny because NJW2000 had used the same role successfully to block Lidku from using the cult conversion on day 2 when the lynch vote misfired. Roden would have been made cult otherwise; Lidku had voted for ToonyMan, but Roden used his Interfere on Lidku as well.
Overall, this seemed to work better than I feared. I think if I did it again I'd roll Factcheckers and Researchers into one role with the option to lie or tell the truth; this would've given Lidku a little more power to fight back against the inspect. Some kind of extra incentive for cult to try to win as cult would've helped too, although I was pleased that at least one out of three tried. Unfortunately, I can't really gauge the power of the SM since it never DID anything. Hecklers probably were a little underpowered and could have become a full roleblock; I actually planned that originally and then changed my mind so I wouldn't have to worry about actions interfering with each other. Maybe I'd make it make inspects give reversed results just for extra cruelty. Lastly... I don't know why Fallacy didn't bother to use any powers today to stop Lidku's vote; did you really think he was town? It should've been obvious Lidku was lying anyway: I'd never name a role "stand user"! I only have a vague idea that that comes from some anime, and I don't typically do references. As you can see, everybody had nice, dignified role names like "serial molester".
