Wow hahaha. Palmar you really were brilliant in how you handled the town. Would have loved to see what you would have done if I had DT checked jackal instead of chaos night one.

wow. What a messed up ending. Do things make a little more sense now Sandro ?

I actually DID make a good call this game, and I should have read more into the fact that Nisani wouldn't switch his vote to Jackal with me on Day 1. Jackal, ON and Nisani were all on the ropes after Day 1.

The fact that Palmar talked about Jackal having the bat in thread should have tipped me off to something strange going on as well. However, the idea that a townie was lying to protect a mafia simply did not enter my mind.

Thanks for being Brown Chez. I'm not sure how you scored 7 points, but i'm sure you earned them!

Thanks for hosting LSB and Curu, was really fun.

I thought about the scenario where you check jackal.

I was going to bullshit something about millers and that explaining why the mason role was so strong.

The problem is that games don't always work like that and its more dependent on PM games and how well you get people to trust you. Town inherently has an advantage because they have more people and can PM more.

A solution I'm thinking of is that instead of having a "mafia" and a "town" have 3-4 different factions with equal amounts of players and have them duke out last man surviving style.

Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. Bus Driver can never target themselves I'm sorry

Hey LSB I'm by no means bashing on your setup, it was really cool indeed =). I just think that tonning down the roles a bit will make it far easier to balance. Anyway those roles were awesome and props to you for putting this toghether!
Cheers.

I still waiting for him to die. That way I could prove that I was telling the truth when I said even though you kill me -- still people will die.

I dunno if I'd call Mafia's roles overpowered. Jackal and Nisani were basically one role combined, which allowed them to give 2 booby trapped items to people. As soon as one of these booby trapped items sprung, however, it'd be easy to point them out as the ones that gave the item away.

ON was just a standard Godfather/Roleblock power. He also gave them the ability to pass around items instantaneously (but they didn't have any really useful items anyways besides the roleblock tape).

In between sandroba's ability, Radfield having vet and PGO at the same time, Kurumi having a bus, Chezinu being able to kill anyone who visited a target, chaos having the landmines, and Palmar being a medic able to protect himself as well, it would have been very hard for Mafia to be able to win unless they were able to force several mislynches.

Basically every Townie was a blue and the SK was bulletproof/could score multiple kills. I don't think Mafia had any overpowered roles, in fact the only active thing they had besides their kill was a roleblock. And a good half of the time, their kill would also get them killed or would fail.
