"Phew, ok, that gives you a rough idea of when/where night actions happened, and for the bulk of you still following, who did the deed that did you the dead. So next, let's look at...
MOD FUCKUPS
Mod Fuckup 1: Agentblue and the Deathless Night
The situation/relevant parties
N2, after the rap battle. Sruixan had just won and gained protection from all negative actions for the following night, and also gained a BOON from the moderator. Sruixan used this boon to have me create some manner of revolving door system so dead players could earn their way back into the game, which created the thing some of you folks heard about called the Antemortem.
As it turned out, I had even less idea than usual what I was doing with that, and trying to wrap my head around it burnt me out so bad the game stalled.
I eventually opted to restart the game, vetoing the Antemortem and making death permanent. I rallied up all the replacements necessary, got everyone psyched, started a new thread, and went to see how many people I needed to prod for night actions. I had a surprising amount in! Granolaman in particular had had the genius ploy of making Sruix a one-shot lightningrod, which rather conveniently meant Sruix would soak all the kills and we could start D3 bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and 33 strong.
Or so I thought.
The fuckup
I made the D3 start post, made sure all my spreadsheets about virus transference were up to date, then had my "oh fuck" moment. Agentblue. Cannonman. Their target (by nature of lightningrod, pulled onto Sruixan) would kill any and all comers the night Agent targets them. I did a tally to see how many would survive, and got the following:
Agentblue - Cannonman
Airey - Elvis
Chwoka - MetaKieros Inventor
Crowstone - Dr. Pepper Austin
Dpaul - the srsbsns SK
Granolaman - The BAN LOG (who survived because his lightningrod must've landed first before Agent was ganked over)
Malkytop - Crooks Hollow Leader
Pick Yer Poison - Crooks Hollow Bomb
Sruixan - The guy who was immune to everything
Waterbottles - A granny, no night action
Whoosh! - No night action
22ish players dead in one destructive swoop. It would've been glorious, if I hadn't just begged 22ish players to come join my game. Although the eleven surviving players would've made for a moderately balanced game, it seemed a bit rude to everyone else.
The aftermath
I begged Agent to let me retcon their N2 action to perform "No Action". This kept the player list intact, and Agent eventually used their free MOD BOON to rolecop Mirdini, discovering he was Saxt|O|NHL.

Mod Fuckup 2: Of Virii and Dead Guys
Relevant parties
This one was just straight-up mod error that, again, I didn't catch until I'd already posted flips.
-We had Paranoia, the CPR Doc. Infected with the Virus
-Jacqlaris, performing the Malconents' nightkill. Not infected with the virus.
-Agentblue, Cannonman. Infected with the Virus.
-Palamedes, Sylar. Infected with the Virus.
-Fucking Sruixan, again, with the virus
What should've gone down on N4, according to everyone's commands
Paranoia (V) targets Jacqlaris.
Jacqlaris attacks Palamedes (V).
Palamedes (V) attacked Jacqlaris.
Agent (V) cannoned Sruixan (V).
Result:
Paranoia restarts Jacqlaris' heart after Palamedes kills them. Palamedes dies, Agent kills Sruixan via a Viral overdose.
>Jacqlaris and Paranoia alive, Palamedes and Sruixan dead
What I inputted:
Paranoia (V) attacks Sruixan. (V)
Jacqlaris attacks Palamedes (V)
Palamedes (V) attacks Jacqlaris
Agent (V) cannoned Sruixan. (V)
Result:
Agent sticks a cannon on Sruixan, who then dies from a viral overdose. Paranoia then saves Sruixan from death, but is shot in the face with a cannon.
Jacqlaris attacks Palamedes, Palamedes attacks Jacqlaris, they die in each other's arms.
>Jacqlaris, Palamedes, and Paranoia dead, Sruixan alive.
This, as you can tell, is just horribly sloppy. Paranoia is free to perform his graveslam, though Akumu has too many swarms for this to have an effect on the gamestate.

Mod Fuckup 3: Chwokolates
Minor, but no less excusable. Chwoka had actually posted chocolate and roses and shouldn't have been hammered at H-1. I will argue however that his fate was sealed at that point, even if I did jump the gun a little.
If I've forgotten anything, please yell at me on IRC! I'd prefer to have tangible reminders so I don't do this shit again.

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
