Night FourImp is infected.
When the dust settles, the warlocks see ahead to multiple horrible futures. Some knew they had definitely won, others definitely lost; for the rest, the possibilities were decidedly more hazy.
TIMELINE ONEDay FiveVermilion is voted out, but resurrects Euchrejack (who has .3 of a vote left).
Night FiveEuchrejack mafiakills Fallacy. Imp dies of infection. The game ends before any mroe Second Chances kick in.
Day SixIf somehow Imp or Fallacy survived (maybe EJ forgets Imp was infected and kills her), neither can hammer due to votes being nerfed, so Euchrejack daykills the other player before the day ends and mafia win.
Victory for Mafia: Team Murder.Town lose.Mafia, Team Gains lose.TIMELINE TWOI could have decides that Vermillion shouldn't have been resurrectable as his corpse was destroyed: in which case, town would instantly win. That would have been in keeping with how corpse destruction is usually handled (in Supernatural, say). I just didn't think to write that rule clarification when I wrote the resurrection rule for Revolving Door. If you feel in your heart that this was an inconsistent mistake, then feel free to consider this timeline canonical with a
Town Win.
TIMELINE THREEIf Fallacy had given the hat he's wearing to Vermillion, he would auto-wear his new hat on Day Five. If that had happened, and Imp hadn't have destroyed her hat, or if Fallacy had worked with Vermillion to get rid of Imp after giving Vermillion a hat, then
Fallacy could have won his second wincon. But he didn't.
TIMELINE FOURIf Vermillion had used the Bullshit Hammer on Fallacy, the resurrection effect would have ended, Vermillion would have been voted out, and the game would win with a
Town Win.
TIMELINE FIVEIf Vermillion had mutated someone's ability tonight it could have added some effect that could have swung the game for town, but he didn't.
TIMELINE SIXEarlier, Imp could have acted to get the book back, and then fired it off. With its current spread of powers, it wouldn't have helped, but if other things had been different, perhaps??

Trade->Hats->Second Wincon

{Worn}[Item][Wearable](Hats) Hypnotic Cat Ear Headband: This item is automatically equipped when obtained if you have no other hat worn, and cannot be removed, traded, or given away unless you equip an alternative hat.
[Item][Wearable](Hats) Defective Cat Ear Headband: This item does nothing.

For reference:
[Paid]: The Paid tag means you can optionally spend any item you own to perform the action for free during any phase of the game. Spent items are usually removed from the game though other abilities may change this.
I've unprivated all the threads on the discord. In the SpoilSpec, you can see the original roles.
My preference had always been for semi-open systems: one where the permutations were known, but the exact setup uncertain, as often playing a BYOR, Supernatural, or similar, some random thing would come out of leftfield and swipe you. I feel like I've maybe swerved a little too far towards that territory here. I'm probably not inclined to run a game with so much in-game role mutation again, as it can be unfair on how it's pitched. The game becomes a dramatic experience as much as a tactical experience. The game remained winnable for all sides up until the last few days, but as much due to the dynamic effects as the player choices.
