Oh. And I will consider this as a victory, given that I wasn't lynched.  | ||

I think Mafia 2 DT was only overpowered because mafia hadn't taken many misinformation roles. GF/framer type roles have a bigger chance of affecting listchecks than single target checks. As mafia, I would have tried to take Mafia 2 DT and just spread around lists that are *almost* correct. The town seemed tied up by the listchecks a lot, and didn't really assume the possibility of framer/GF type roles, so it's lucky there weren't any. I'm still mindblown as to how town managed to pick so many unique roles. I think the only reason Mafia 2 DT was picked by so many people is because the M2DT/Vote Rigger combo was discussed in depth pre-pick. We somehow managed to get a huge number of investigative roles, including the strong ones (Modern Detective, NKVD, Parity Cop, Role Cop), and I think there's a good amount of luck involved there. On the flip side, people not having time to be fully invested early on made it tougher for town. Incog's scant posting on Day 1 made me very wary (and I still think his early posting habits were pretty scummy), which unfortunately let Caller and Ace bandwagon pretty easily. I do remember noting at one point that Caller said "Let's stop thinking and just lynch Incognito," and from that point on I was suspicious. Similarly, KillerSOS being away for two days got him killed unnecessarily. If he had just claimed earlier, we would have had time to at least get a new target. PYP Tracker isn't easily faked by mafia, and it isn't useful for them at all. I personally think I played kinda meh. I focused on posting habits a little too much, I think, and I was too daunted by the sheer number of possible mafia roles. I also got too easily thrown off by the clusterfuck of finger pointing on Day 1, since I usually take it upon myself to read and absorb everything in the thread. | ||

In general, I was very impressed with the role selection stage by the town. They got a lot of really strong roles without much overlap. Also, they managed to grab most of the best information roles. Node's pick and Dreamflower's pick in particular were total coups considering their draft positions. Conversely, I didn't like the mafia role selections anywhere near as much. I liked the strategy of deliberately clashing and then directing attention towards the top of the list, but I don't think the mafia chose the best roles/ played out their plan properly. In particular, while I loved Caller's NRA member pick, I didn't feel he played scummy enough to direct much attention from detectives over the course of the game. I can understand the reasoning behind the Admiral Ackbar pick, but it really hurt the mafia. tnkted's bus driver and Chezinu's CPR doc were both really nice for the mafia. I didn't like Ace's Capitalist pick at all however. Originally he picked roleblocker, and I think that would have been far better for the mafia. The biggest hit the mafia took was nobody selected traitor. Honestly, Ver and I balanced this game around an assumption that traitor would be selected (considering it was picked by multiple people in both PYP2 and PYP3). | ||

GM being alive this far is like screaming I'm the Mole, but no one noticed until the very very end. Qatol already pointed out why, so I won't be following up with all the small details. After Day 4, some "facts" that were used by the remaining players on analysis were just false. That made me cringe. Good thing Radfield was able to pick up most of the "common sense" from there. I just hope he can doubt himself less after making a statement throughout the game. | ||

I thought about it, but it is less appealing in this game, and is harder to be recruited. | ||
