I only had a few PMs with Ace because I was very busy trying to save myself in the other game and then i went away for the weekend so I would have loved to have been more active. Anyway I'm proud of myself for actually fingering a red by pure analysis (now I just gotta learn to convince people  ) and on that note I think I'll be taking a break from mafia for a while because school has started again and I don't have enough time to play. GG everyone and thanks Ace for being my senior and RoL for running the game. That's a real shame actually. If you wanted to learn how to argue better Ace is probably one of the best people to do that with. He attacks and defends very well and makes very strong points. Hem would of been a great person to learn from, but I don't blame you.
As for aidnai, sorry about that. I actually paired you two up on purpose because I figured you were familiar enough with each other as well as having similar enough schedules where there wouldn't be much conflict so you could get more out of it.
I am going to try to add in some more balance changes, like making DT's alignment cops. Removing roleblock information (unless your power fails). I really want to try to brainstorm and figure out whats the best set up to have for voting so I would like opinions on that too. Should seniors be voting? Should they be posting? What should I do in regards to mod kills?

kudos to Nemesis and chaoser for being clutch and not thinking like idiots.
Also for future reference of why I believed Subversion had to be Scum:

Why would you side with someone that isn't even defending himself?

Stop WIFOMing yourself. This was a really simple decision but you got caught up in stuff that really made no sense. Trying to find out who is the other Scum before getting on with the current lynch was a bad idea.

Well it was fun being dt for the first time ever 
I felt that there really wasn't enough communication between me and chaoser. We basically pmed each other once or twice a day. I would've liked a bit more guidance on what I was doing.
It was still nice to hear from another perspective though.

Lets start another one up RoL lolol

I felt this game was really awesome, Its kind of a shame I missed the last day, but I was buried under tones of work I had to get done. Overall it was a pretty epic first game for me, and I certainly intend to participate in more mafia games. gg wp guys.

I would also like to say that in the short time that I played in this game, i too liked the small number of players. I also liked being able to talk to someone who i know is better than me, and KNOW without a doubt that what they are telling me is not a scum trying to mess me up. I wouldn't mind playing again, only next time I'll have to pick a partner who isn't slated for a night kill before the game begins... 
LSB wasn't just vocal in the thread. While there wasn't a lot to talk about towards the beginning, we still were able to communicate a good deal after the game. Oh, and Ace. I don't know if you followed Merc Mafia, but I took something that you said earlier and made it my strategy. "You should just vote for whoever you think will not help you win the game." Except I replaced "Vote for" with "Blow up". It almost worked, too. I like that idea.

I think this is a good format. The size makes it easy to play the game without being overwhelmed, especially as a learning game. I don't know how active all the seniors were, but I know this was helpful for subversion and a few others. As for modkills, I'm neutral. Maybe have modkills, except no bans associated with them. As a learning experience it would be souring to have bans come out of it, but posting is necessary.
As for the role of the seniors, I think each team took it differently. Some played quietly behind the scenes, while others took an active role posting and calling people out. I'm kinda on the fence about this. I know everyone has their own style, but I feel like seniors should take a more back seat role. Yes, calling out people and being dominant in thread may get things rolling, but I feel like it could intimidate or take detract from the whole learning experience. Sometimes its just scary to get out there and try to argue with a big bad vet. And sometimes it seems like there's some following going around. I saw a few posts where people made decisions because thats what their senior thought/told them. I'm not sure if they actually agreed with the thought process or were just following along. I think having only juniors voting went ok, but it didn't come with the activity I hoped for. I'd still think its a good idea to have in the next game though.
Its too bad that some seniors were afk the whole time. But its hard to prevent. I had an idea I discussed with RoL earlier that involved a larger game + a couple seniors just posting a bit in the thread to give general thoughts during the game. Sometimes its difficult to know exactly what's going on or where to go. The biggest slips from both town and mafia come from not knowing what to do and how to do it. Execution is critical, but it seems to be getting messed up all the time when there's all sorts of chaos going around. Some sort of general guidance in a larger game might be appropriate to get people thinking about their role in larger games.

I took a super laid back approach until LYLO. I was just letting Meapak figure out things unless he asked for help ^_^
