Never been a fan of most of those, though Gundam Wing was good. That was the only Gundam I enjoyed though.

Samurai Champloo, DBZ, or Dune.... So hard to choose. Eh, I think Dune has the best kind of setting for mafia.

But Krillin is definitely the best role. Destructo disk and everyone dies

The weird thing here is that in the first two dozen or so mafia games played on TL, the winrate remained about 50/50. A lot of people were playing for their first times too. I think maybe a difference was that folks could keep coming back and playing with the same people and the good players kept coming back rather than a) getting frustrated with poor play and not playing again (does this happen?) or b) "graduating" into the regular games. Keep in mind these were very large games, ranging from 40-120 people in most cases.

In short, I don't think restricting newbie games to only people with <3 games is worth it. While they should still be called newbie games and geared towards newbies, other players of any level should have the option to play (perhaps newbies should have signup priority, but some slots still open for other interested players). At the very lowest level play it's much easier to win as mafia than as town, so this is not particularly surprising. All it says is that the mafia are winning more because the talent pool is diluted. Rather than adjusting the setup I think we need to adjust the players.

I would be in to this. Especially if say, half the player slots were reserved for newbies, and the other half were first come first serve.

I think we would also want to enforce strict behavior guidelines. Which means insults etc are kept to a minimum.

On the flip side, in the mini games as we have them right now newbie players need to lead the town on their own. They can't just sit back and let the experienced players carry the load.
