The game has concluded with that night. Unfortunately, I don't have much time right now. I'll give the game a proper ending tomorrow morning.

My guess: Everyone except myself is a wolf; through sheer testicular fortitude, I slaughtered the wolves and collected the Dragon's Hoard.

Was there a dead QT?

I was the only doviello and at first I thought there was only one Sheiam but there must have been at least 2. Bonefang and ?

I knew that the game was over once I was lynched. The rest of the town who voted for me that night should hang their head in shame, killing the very hero that killed the dragon. Certainly a case of townie incompetence right there.

Why didn't you role claim?

I did claim to be a champion. I said my strength was at 2, which was for a champion.
I was champion as well. If Bad Player was the only Doviello, then we must have had either three Shaim, or one Sheam was stronger than two champions. The Sheaim probably killed someone (I'd have offed BigTin if I were them, since it was pretty clear he couldn't be the last Sheaim.), LordNwahs got WOGged, leaving three left.
Who's next, me or Takhisis?

bah; well I'll wait for full update but takhisis I am very confuzzled by you. I guess you really didn't get said PM, but reproduced below:
so I'm assuming zack is scum here but even if he wasn't that was right in the thread (Jan 04) after the Seon lynch. I wouldn't have gone after ye takhisis, and that really wasted a day for the town (led by me). I at least would have really pursued zack or lordnwah (with you), especially after zack PM'ed me about the takhisis PM in question.
bah.

TBH, I'm shocked no one picked up on how my partner voted the exact same way I did practically every phase.
And I really need to stop posting so much when I'm mafia.

Well it is hard to see why voted for when the votes weren't listed at the end of the day, just the numbers. That would have made things much easier. Also I don't understand why the Champion PM was given out by the host, he could have said that the majority are champions and left at that.

End of Night Eight
The Sheaim assassin had one final job to do. If he could kill just one more person, his partner and himself would be able to kill the remaining Champions, seize the Hoard, and bring eternal glory to the Sheaim nation. All he had to do was kill successfully one more night.
His target for this night was Mergle. Mergle was quiet compared to most other Champions, but he was still, by far, the most vocal Champion living. After he was out of the picture, manipulating LordNwahs6 and BigTin would be all too easy.
And so, the man once again made a blood sacrifice to his God and left his tent. He didn't worry about being quiet this time; soon, the Sheaim would be in the majority, and they wouldn't have to hide. He approached Mergle's tent eagerly. His knife rested in his hand as he cut open the door to the tent. Mergle was sleeping, but woke up at the sound of an intruder outside. "Verarde," he began, rubbing his eyes and yawning. "What brings you here at such a late hour? Do you have news on the Sheaim assassins?"
It was at this point that Mergle noticed the knife inVerarde's hand. "You!" he shouted. "You're the Sheaim! You're the one who's been killing us all!"
Verarde became rather nervous. Instead of killing the man instantly, as he was so used to doing, he began to cut off the man's fingers, one by one. Mergle let out bloodcurdling screams, and began to feel very lightheaded. He passed out from the pain shortly afterwards.
Once the man had passed out, Verarde didn't see the fun in torturing him anymore. So, the Sheaim jammed his knife through the side of Mergle's head, killing him instantly.
Only three men woke up that morning: Verarde, Zack, and BigTin. BigTin performed a quick investigation as was custom and found that Mergle had been murdered and LordNwahs6 was nothing but ash anymore. Upon seeing this, BigTin became very nervous.
Begin Day Nine!
"So," BigTin began, "we shall be in Grigori territory in 8 hours. Who shall be the one to carry the Dragon's Hoard to its eternal resting place?"
"I think I should do it," Zack suggested. "And, while I'm at it, I'll accuse you of treason, BigTin. I heard you murdering Mergle last night. Verarde and I met up and saw you in his tent."
Verarde nodded. "Zack shall take the Dragon's Hoard, and you shall die, BigTin."
"I'm not the assassin!" BigTin exclaimed, sweat running down his face. "Verarde, listen to me, Zack is the killer! He's just trying to manipulate you!"
BigTin drew his sword and charged after Zack. "You snake! Only a Sheaim would be so vile as to sneak onto a Grigori expedition! You don't deserve to live!"
Zack put on a devious grin and drew his sword. "Verarde, would you like to do the honors?"
Verarde smiled broadly, and advanced on BigTin. "Good bye, Champion." BigTin was no match for Verarde. The two dueled for only a moment before Verarde was able to stab the man through the heart.
BigTin could let out no words. His expression was one of shock, his eyes and his mouth wide open. He collapsed on the ground in a pool of his own blood, dead.
"What's next, Zack?" Verarde asked.
"We take this treasure back to Sheaim lands and become the most famous men in history, of course."
The Grigori could never recover after that moment. Their most elite fighters had all perished at the hands of three Sheaim spies. Their civilization fell quickly to a revolution created by the Sheaim. Using their endless gold reserves, Zack and Verarde created an aristocracy in the Grigori city-states. Only men of Sheaim descent could hold any land, have a job, or have freedom. This began the oppresive government that persists to this very day.
Game over!
Congratulations to the Sheaim team of bonefang, Zack, and Verarde!

Let the record show that my compatriots and I were voted (votes still standing by the end of the day, that is) a total of...
I kept waiting for someone to nail myself for making a lot of noise but not doing much of worth, for being very anti-sheep and making unpopular votes on sketchy reasoning, and for simply still being alive after making so much noise (essentially what I accused classical_hero of); and for Verarde, this post, for being very sheepy, and for always voting the same way as myself towards the end.
I'd like to say it was our good play that allowed us to steamroll through (yes, "steamroll", a Sheaim never even came close to being lynched, and a Sheaim never garnered more than one vote during a Day), but I also think the town dropped the ball (with the Sheaim, that is -- the town did a fine job eliminating the Doviello and Spirit of the Red Dragon for us!
). The hints that Verarde and I were nefarious were right there, but instead the town chose to listen to my silly ramblings about classical_hero, even after he made a very good counterpoint (it would make sense for a spirit to have low strength). The town's lucky one of us was inactive in the extreme!
And thank the heavens Verarde lived, because my strength was the same as a vanilla innocent's, so I wouldn't have been able to do anything. Never knew what bonefang's stats were (he didn't post in the QT either).
tl;dr version:
