Right the hour is up:
VOTING HAS CLOSED
I just need to have the votes independently verified by the elves in my head and the result will be announced.

The War Council were summoned to an urgent meeting by the Spymaster.
“As we all know we are the target of reprisals by the Venatori for our successes in the field. Last night Sera had her food doctored. This suggests an inside job. Goodness knows we have all suffered from Sera’s pranks so maybe she had it coming to her. However, there is also the possibility that one of us has been got at by spies. To put it bluntly, they have been made the victim of blood magic mind manipulation. The best way to spot this has occurred is when someone starts to behave uncharacteristically. Isn’t that right Commander Cullen?”
“Absolutely; we Templars know the signs to watch for.”
“Good, I’m glad you agree. It is noticeable how you have been loudly proclaiming the merits of the Hero of Ferelden.”
Cullen looked flustered and Leliana could have sworn he was starting to blush.
“It’s perfectly natural to express admiration for him.”
“Oh, I don’t deny that. Maker knows I’ve had a bit of a crush on him myself in the past. What concerns me is not so much the sentiments as the mode of expression.”
Leliana placed several sheets of scented paper on the table before her and noticed Cullen’s start of recognition. She began to read.
“Please don’t harm the Hero of Ferelden, he is such a sweetheart.” She glanced at Cullen with a raised eyebrow. “Then this poem was found mixed in with your correspondence.
Oh, Cullen, naughty one! You've no concern About the Hero's heart With honeyed words You tempt him To leave the Witch's arms!”
“That’s private and personal," objected Cullen.
“Nonsense; you should have brought it straight to me. The Hero would never have written such words to you. Either they were written by an imposter or you made them up yourself to feed your fantasy. Have you any idea what Morrigan would do to you if she were to know about this? You are clearly under some sort of delusion brought on by stress or magic. Either way you are currently not fit for duty.”
She opened the door and motioned to the guards outside.
“Take him away; he is consigned to his quarters under house arrest until further notice.”
The eliminated player is: Tittus aka Commander Cullen NIGHT 2 IS DECLARED

I'd recommend 24h mark warnings prior to ending the round, unless the conversation has died out, hence Tittus didn't even get a chance to defend himself.

I was gonna say something like "maybe Serza was trying to protect a fellow spy from being caught in a tie", but as I was typing I remembered that round one only had one spy, so never mind.

Oh My Maker,this narrative is the best thing i've read all week This is going straight into my canon!I can picture Cullen growing a similar mustache and mutton chops now as a token of admiration ! I really don't want to imagine what Morrigan would do to Cullen if she found out,or the pillow i'd have to deal with after...

I'd recommend 24h mark warnings prior to ending the round, unless the conversation has died out, hence Tittus didn't even get a chance to defend himself
To be fair to me there had been quite a while from the time when the vote was even until Serza voted. Tittus voted for Fylimar and she retaliated within 5 minutes of each other. That was more than 24 hours ago. At that point Tittus could have seen he had 2 votes and said something in his defence. After all I had pointed out that by that time everyone had voted except Hero, Pela and Serza and there was a good chance they would continue to even things up. By 20 hours ago only Serza was left to vote. At that point any of the 3 people who had 2 votes should have been defending themselves. As it was people seemed quite happy with the idea of a 3 way tie. Serza decided to make a decisive vote instead of making it a 4 way tie.
After Serza had voted, Hero, who was meant to be feeling undying love for Tittus could have changed his vote after he saw that Tittus had 3 votes in order to even it up again but he didn't. So there didn't seem much point in waiting around any longer.
I don't recall there is any rule about having to leave it 24 hours. I remember on one occasion I went to bed and the voting moved on while I was asleep to a tied vote. Had I been given the opportunity I would have changed my vote to break the dead lock but I didn't get the chance because the vote was closed almost immediately after the last vote had been cast.

Tbh, I did defend myself by dropping the one allowed clue, not much more to be done here. I could have changed my vote to one of the others with 2 votes, but that would have been unfair, seeing that I don't have a clue, who is a spy (or rather the spy).

May be I am being over sensitive but it seems that just because the outcome has resulted in the loss of a key person I have come in for criticism. You did defend yourself but no one changed their voting as a result so I doubt they would have bothered even if Tittus had said something. Before Serza voted the voting was very spread out. Serza even commented on the fact that at one point we had a 7 way tie with one vote each. Then it became a 3 way tie with 2 votes each for 3 people. Serza had flagged up the possibility of a tie. I confirmed the possibility of a tie. Nobody changed their votes as a result. So Serza decided to break the deadlock. He could just as easily voted for a 4 way tie. I would still have closed the voting when I did. And Tittus could still have drawn the short straw in the lottery to decide the outcome.

No, you misunderstood me, I didn't critisize you, I was more critisising myself for using my one clue to save myself and noone has obviously catched on. Loosing Cullen was a sad accident that can always happen in the first round. And I do agree with you. We vote tied people had time enough to defend ourselfs here. BTW: I like your narrative too

I have come in for criticism I am not blaming you for the elimination, however, you've asked for my advice during the course of the game on how to run things smoother. Usually, I give 24h mark from the point the last person votes because the last vote can strongly influence who gets eliminated (in this case Serza), which I later may cut short if I see that people are fixed in their votes. Given that people live in different time zones, I wouldn't say Tittus had no interest in what happens to him, I don't think he had a chance to see it due to time zone difference, which I believe should be kept in mind as a GM. Tittus may have been ok with a three way tie and may not have wanted to draw too much attention to his key role by defending when Serza's vote could have gone to others in a tie or even a four way tie, but he wasn't likely to be ok with being singled out for an immediate elimination with majority votes, which I feel fell onto the time when he was off line. At least in his position, I would not have defended with a few way tie while some players still had to vote since exposing Cullen's role in voting 1 will at the latest lead to him being dead by n3, depending on whether Cole is in the game who could potentially defend him, especially when the villains know if Cole is or isn't in the game. However, I would most certainly have protested had suddenly vote majority turned to me. From this point insufficient time passed for the player to even see they were in immediate danger before the voting closed. I feel that a longer voting round could have been appropriate since the players still hadn't a chance to fully make up their minds. I, for example, was observing this debate rather closely and was considering altering my vote too. I didn't have a chance to do so either since even living in the currently active time zone didn't give me a chance to react. In general, I find balancing how long to keep each voting round can be tricky. Since you want to give the players the time they need to make up their minds, but not so long as to start dragging it out. Can't really rush or take too long, but GM isn't a mind read and can't tell if they players are done or still considering. So no grumbling about it not being perfectly timed as I understand your position. I would like you to have a good time as GM, not a miserable one (so I can get lazy again ). Please don't mistake advice for criticism. fylimar I caught onto your clue, but I there were four people left to vote who could have swayed the outcome. I wanted to observe whether they'll ignore your clue or not in order to judge them as suspects. I've kept change of vote back in order to correct something, but the rounded ended since I waited too long. After Serza had voted, Hero, who was meant to be feeling undying love for Tittus could have changed his vote after he saw that Tittus had 3 votes in order to even it up again but he didn't. Hero's only alternative was tying Tittus with a person who was hinting an important night role. I wouldn't have gone for it either since Tittus hadn't a chance to hint anything, thus, it was even more important to give him that chance for defense. I believe Hero was trying to avoid voting Tittus or fylimar out by creating a three way tie by going for OG. This got imbalanced by Serza.

The narratives so far have been hilarious gervaise! This one in particular has softened the fact that we lost Cullen already. But all isn't lost guys. Cullen came back last game and it's possible he can come back again. Or his ability could be mimicked by another.

BTW: I like your narrative too I caught got your clue I’m not blaming gervaise for the elimination or trying to criticize, but I agree that it would be nice to give people time to defend themselves after they come out on top during voting. Lots of people can only check in a few times a day, so if they go from being tied to being eliminated in only a few hours, that doesn’t give them time to react. I also agree that the narratives are really good

Okay, may be I was being over sensitive. Also sorry Tittus if I was a bit hasty in closing the voting and so you didn't get sufficient time to defend yourself. I know it won't help you now but I will leave more time after the last vote has been cast next time round.

To clarify, I was fairly certain two of the two-votes were heroes while I had nothing on the third.
It's all way too early to know anything for sure, but you know. I tried to go with the least evil I could find, and going for maintaining the tie would mean that the two I trust at this time - Fylimar and Gryphon - could possibly be knocked out. I didn't want them to end up like that, so I instead went with Tittus. Which turned out to be a massive goof.

At least there was some sort of logic behind your voting, Serza, even if it didn't get the result you would have wanted. Like I said, it wasn't your fault the voting was spread so evenly.

The Heart Breaker stirred his saucepan of cocoa. Two mugs were already set out on the table in front of him awaiting his guest for the evening. He gave a contended sigh. Skyhold duty was turning out to be rather enjoyable. To think he might now be dodging spiders in the Hissing Wastes or darkspawn in the Western Approach. Instead he had the relaxing task of selling chocolates and bonbons to the residents of the mountain fortress whilst observing the mayhem he had unleashed. Strangely enough it wasn’t even cold despite the location high in the Frostback Mountains. That probably had to do with the fact that it had been built by elven magic. You really had to respect the ancient elves. After all, Corypheus had an obsession with ancient elven artefacts so they had to be good for something. Still the others could chase after ghosts in elven ruins. He was quite content with his lot right here. He heard the sound of feet on stone, removed his saucepan from the fire and poured the hot, steaming liquid into the mugs. Taking his seat, he looked up into the face of his visitor, smiled and gestured to the other chair opposite him.
“So glad you could join me. Please take a seat and have a mug of cocoa. We have much to discuss.”
There were no eliminations in the night. DAY 2 IS DECLARED

I just want to make it clear that there are no clues in the narrative as to who got turned. The stuff about elves was just fluff. Also there are other roles potentially in the game that can stop the Heart Breaker. Even if Cullen was still present, he can only protect one person at a time.
