Khushrenada:
The Borg are not Mafia although Lore can use this information to help the Mafia or the Borg by being a part of both groups. Lore will have to decide how he wants to play that power either by helping the Mafia eliminate any Borg collective that might have been created or assimilate / eliminating any of his Mafia members. The Mafia cannot win if there are still Borg members alive even if there are no townies nor can The Borg win if there are still Mafia members left as they must be the only group existing in the game to win.

Now, as leader, Lore doesn't have to assimilate anyone. Neither does the Borg Queen if activated. It would just be in her best interests to do so. Lore could just keep the Borg limited or work against them and pick off their members with his Mafia. He'd be safe to do that in a way since the Borg cannot vote for him because he's a member of the Borg by being their leader. But as leader of the Borg, he can now only win if the Borg win. But if all the Borg members are eliminated, then the Borg no longer exist and he can go back to being a mafia member. (He could also choose to later assimilate someone and start the Borg over again as well but doing so reverts him back to a Borg win condition.) So, it's a bit of a tricky role but it's one that allows for some wiggle room so that Lore wouldn't be targeted for immediate execution by players if this occurs.

I guess we'll see how this works out but there are a lot of various odds that have to occur for it to come about so it may be inconsequential. If it does come about, the diplomacy and maneuvering of Lore would be a fascinating element of the game.

Khushrenada:
As an extra bit of information, if the townie detective or mafia investigator learn a player's role and that player is then later assimilated into the Borg, the detective or investigator will be given an update on their status to inform them of this.

Stratos:
Honorary Vote Mop it up post. Gotta wrap up some school work and I'll be back in the game in a few hours.

Also gotta decided my persona for this game. Town between doing a Shatner joke persona, a Patrick Stewart joke persona, or something a little more in-universe.

TofuFury:
Had a bit of trouble coming up with an avatar for this game. While I appreciate the Star Trek universe, it's just not a series I'm all that familiar with.

Then I remembered the great Animaniacs episode where Yakko, Wakko, and Dot visit the Original Series. Problem solved. Poor Scottie.

Silenced:
Wasn't this Super Mario Bros. at some point or was I dreaming?
