Awesome!!

Who's got the next hosting duties? Being only Tuesday wonder if we could swing a Thursday start. Friday starts don't ever seem to get much traffic on day 1.

I had my reasons for thinking vikes was mafia in the beginning. @CYme liking every single one of my posts voting for vikes convinced me so I blame him just as much as myself

This was a fun game. It was interesting for me as I was confirmed right from the beginning so that added a lot of pressure to my actions as I feel more people would be inclined to follow me. I took this game a little more seriously than I normally would but I think that helped us pin down the last 3 mafia that much easier. Thanks for mayoring salty! Now it’s my turn if no one else has a game ready. I’ve been working on one and I think I’m ready to give mayoring a try.

I gotta call something out and this isn't directed at salty but the games need to have less special innos, perks, and clues. It made this game almost impossible for the mafia to win imo.
Yeah I wasn’t sure how many I should put in the mafia vs how many in the priory. I ended up with 8 mafia and 6 priory. There were also 2 guys on a side of their own, plus specials Langdon and the detective with his #2. I’ll admit the game design was probably not fair.

Agree with this, in theory. I do think it's fun to add more special innocents and perks sometimes (clues were more specific to this game's theme), but you have to be able to balance it out when creating the write-up.

For example, when I mayor, I always start with a very plain set of roles. Then, if I have a fun idea for a special innocent role (or a special mafia role), then I will also add some kind of extra power or role for the opposing side. In theory, the plain game and role weighting should be about right, so it's like balancing an equation. If you add too much to one side, it throws things off.

We had no recourse left after failing to hit 2015 (and arguably even a day or two before that was delaying the inevitable). Not enough success early on/waiting too long to make moves, and continued town success early on at the same time.

thanks for mayoring though. It's a tough gig and you did fine. I'm the last one to talk about simple mayor games as mine as usually confusing. It's something I've noticed though in the last couple of games.

I do think that I went to the half day on day #3 a little too quickly. If we could agree on a guideline for going to half days that would help.

Personally I don’t think any half days until at least day 7. Normally games aren’t complete slaughter like the last few have been and go at least 10 days I think. So meeting somewhere in the middle slightly below that mark would be okay I think.

Yea so I thought I was Sophie since Arob was killed. I received the same clue as him and was told I was a regular innocent but "that may change".

I questioned CyFan13 because I thought that he would've solved it and been able to do something with me and know I was Sophie. Eventually Salty gave him the ability to PM me but then Mafia killed him off so I was back to being alone.

My plan in the beginning was to act like a fool and hope mafia just tried to off me and then whoever tried to start a run on me would be mafia. Maybe I was playing too simply.

I wish Sophie had something to use once or some other power but I'm not smart enough to know what it would be to make it fair.

Also did no one get my clue when I did the pizza post? I thought I was semi obvious enough to say "hey I'm sophie guys"

I Am Most Apologetic.

I'm Never Never Overdue.

I AM A COP. INNO.

Sophie was a police officer.


Yeah you acting like a fool had priory members screaming in the private chat that we were going to have to stick our neck out for you.
