Nominating the Empire Sacrificial Lamb, from The Jutting Watchtower, designed by nightingale, for Best Role/Mechanic.

The role

With their victory, Atlas has met their win-condition. They were

Gabriel Moretti

Empire Sacrificial Lamb

An almost totally silent girl who communicates primarily through sign language. She has a knack for disappearing and appearing suddenly, but she often clings to Violetta when they’re together. Athena talked to Vi and she said that Gabriel’s a really sweet and caring girl, and that she’s just a little shy: Athena thinks that’s an understatement. Almost everyone else in the school has never been able to get a word out of her.

Ability: Witch of Miracles
Gabriel can, by snapping her fingers, travel back in time. Only she and anyone she is in physical contact with retains memories from the previous timeline. She and any other people return to the state their body was in during that time. The amount she goes back increases exponentially with the amount of time she can focus. If her focus is broken, the attempt to go back in time fails.

This is the coolest lost wolf role I have ever seen, and I am saying that as a lost wolf hater. Nightingale proved to me that cool lost wolves can exist.

Its design is rather unusual, but it worked; wolves targeted this with KP several times, so clearly, the multiple vests were needed. Not to mention all the other abilities and traits this role possessed, which made it far more engaging to use than just being a regular lost wolf.

[Vulgard]

While I’m at it, I’d also like to nominate The Jutting Watchtower for Best Flavor.

I mean, look at the role PMs, and at the artwork.

Chapter I - The Jutting Watchtower - The Cult of Sarasvati (and Atlas) is Triumphant

Silviu has failed to meet their win condition and loses. [image] They were Etienne du Malavois, Empire Crown Prince.

[Marshal]

super extra ultra mega seconded

[orangeandblack5]

can you tl;dr this for somebody without the time to read the whole card and without the context to understand it even if I did

what made it cool

[Litten]

the wolves spent 3kp to kill the role

[Litten]

it was funny

[Marluxion]

Second

[Zorvo]

Think Marshal beat you to it.

And is there for better.

Then you.

[Zorvo]

You gotta say “Third”

[Vulgard]

It can do a lot of stuff to fuck with town whether the packwolves know about its existence or not. It knows all the wolves, but it’s difficult for packwolves to find out what it does, so as a precaution of sorts, it has several vests and it gives some of its abilities to wolves whenever it’s attacked. It can also vig someone if it’s attacked by a wolf (so wolves don’t lose a kill from that).

[WindwardAway]

On a similar note, I’d like to nominate @Atlas for Best Use of a Power Role in Chapter I - The Jutting Watchtower.

Atlas not only powerwolfed to help keep the packwolves off the chopping block, but also successfully baited them into targeting her with the factional kill, thereby allowing the wolves to gain an additional kill each night this happened.

I know it’s debatable whether that loophole for extra wolf kp should have existed in the first place, but Atlas made full use of it to achieve her wincon (and secure a win for the wolf team).

[Vulgard]

i’m nominating achromatic for best all-around player
about time somebody did this

@Achromatic

I have won every game I have played in

he’s not lying

i could end the nomination there, because this kinda speaks for itself, but i would like to add that being such a good town player that you get n1d very frequently and yet still being able to endgame as a wolf is kinda insane

i feel like if you ever played with achromatic on this site, regardless of his alignment, you should feel like this nomination is deserved

[Achromatic]

Aww, what a sweet way to nominate me. I am honored, and I am so sincerely glad after our rough patch last year we got to win as both alignments a few times side by side and it is always really fun to solve with you, and tbh I really want to wolf with you again the theater was amazing.

[Hazardwaste]

I second this happily

[Frostwolf103]

fair, third.
