I know this isn't the Godfather but this represents this game well

We gotta work on sharing PM info. Mafia could've gotten out of the whole "hashes message" thing because Cash sent us the text because of that.

Yeah this is a twofold problem. We need to ensure roles are consistently provided. Maybe mayor's do provide everyone with a unique role (in this case costume) and also provides each Mafia with a cover-up role.

Secondly (and morei important) is to not use the message you received from the mayor as some secret mechanic to win. Just win honorably, by figuring out who Mafia is with their vote record / inconsistent statements.

I respectfully disagree with the way I sent the message. Wish I didn’t have to lay it out as black and white and have the regular innos figure it out on their own. But this game is freaking hard as a reg inno when it’s so easy for the mafia to hide by just posting a vote and not much else.

I’ve played this game in person a decent amount and it’s a lot easier to figure out who mafia is by pressuring people to talk. But on the Internet forum version it is incredibly easy to just sit back and hide and let the innos pick each other off.

The decoding messages thing was a bit too far, no arguments there. Basically the same thing as screenshotting your role.

100%. It's really difficult when 30% of people are quite active, 30% are active, and 40% mostly just vote.

Best case, we figure out a way to handle for that. Salty did a good job trying to engage people this game.

Also, did not mean to direct that at you specifically, it happens often.

What are you talking about? I answered your question.
I never got it. Here - this is what I communicated to Psy on the day after my night elimination. I couldn't defend myself IN the thread.
----------------
Damn, this is SO frustrating watching the thread now.
I told Cy when I got this role that I didn't really understand it, and wished I hadn't had it assigned to me, but that I would try to do it. As an old retired lady, I'm up later at night and up later in the morning than most of the players, so that was a barrier in the first place.
This is how my nights went.
JM - I asked him about his vote switch. I didn't see his response until YOU took over
Cyfan - I told him I thought he and Ctown were inno and asked him to explain the hint that ctown & fitzy picked up on, and I stayed up late waiting, but I didn't see HIS response until the next morning when it was too late to follow up with more conversation.
Fitzy - I was pretty sure he was inno because of cyfan's hint, and I wanted to pick his brain for targets because he's better than me at this game. We shared info, then I agreed to "out" myself to him in the thread so we could work together (a big risk for me, since he has fooled me before about his mafia status)
Vikes - our conversation left me with doubts. Like fitzy, he has fooled me before. So I decided to watch his moves, but not eliminate him, and thank goodness for that decision! I would have been drawn & quartered if I'd done that!
Farnsy - came into our conversation mad at me because I had blocked his investigation the previous night. Well, how was I supposed to know he was looking at Vikes? Anyhoo, he calmed down and we shared some info, and I was convinced he was a special inno. Again, I agreed to out myself to him in the thread.
Cubs - He spent the entire day trying to out the jailer by asking as many questions of the people I jailed as he could, and it had me pretty frustrated by the end of the day. In retrospect, I came at him pretty hard with my first question, and I probably (definitely) could have handled it better. His response was in kind with my post, and I had a knee-jerk reaction to it. After thinking about his response for a bit, I realized that he probably thought the jailer was CloneLawman, who he has a definite beef with, and he probably thought he was responding to Lawman (more about Lawman in a minute). So I asked you if it was too late to fix things. Alas, by the time I saw that you had done that, it was way too late to continue the conversation with cubs.
And now I'm dead, my role was exposed and everyone thinks I suck at the job that I never wanted in the first place!!!
On top of all of that, Lawman was messaging me behind the scenes. He really doesn't understand/respect the rules of mafia, does he? He was pissed at me for not siding with him, and for saying in the thread that I wished they would both stop and declare a truce for at least the mafia game...the sniping was getting really annoying. He informed me that he could not be friends with someone who was friends with Cubs, and indicated that I had to choose. Well, **** that noise...no one has dictated who I could be friends with since junior high, and it didn't turn out well for them then, either.
So this has been a rough game for me, and I'm whining to you because you are the only one I can talk to! Just had to get it off my chest.
TL;DR
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me...guess I'll go eat worms...
(you might be too young to understand that reference!)

Regarding the Cubs debacle:
I said: Tell me why I shouldn't eliminate you right now. Talk fast.
Cubs said: Eliminate me you clown. You’ve killed us all game.
I said: As you wish.

45 minutes later:

Hey, Psy...have you killed him yet? I think I just realized something...and if I'm right, it's a case of mistaken identity and I'd like to change my mind!

Psy responded at 6am that he had not killed Cubs yet and allowed me one more message. I saw this at 9 am, BEFORE I read the thread. So I asked Psy to send this message to Cubs: "It has occurred to me that you might think that I am CloneLawman, and are targeting me. I am not, and I would really appreciate it if you would quit trying to expose me in the game. I hope we can work together to get rid of the mafia." I don't know if Psy sent the message or not, but his response to me was "I'll send it, but you're dead".

So that's how MY mafia game went! Sorry I wasn't able to do more good with my role, innos...

Well, then you have the conversation that was happening leading to a crazy riff between two innos that sucked up so much oxygen that it did nothing but help the mafia.

Thank you @PSYclone22 for taking over. Work got crazy for a couple days and I had to back out.

CF has a 3 minute timer for starting a new conversation. I made a copy and paste message to save time…though I shouldn’t have added the “head on a swivel” part. It’d be fine without this.

I wasn’t a fan of hinting at details of the pm. It’s too much of a hint, though I take a large blame for it getting to that point.

I was expecting the game to go faster, but Clark dying quick and KC never eliminating anyone made the game go way longer.

Thank you for playing and hope everyone had fun.
