here's another thing, it's really hard to balance out all these weird ass roles because you have no idea how the players are going to use them

-2nd foundation... I never would have thought that somebody who gets to be in a secret qt would have claimed the qt on d1. that was actually meant to be a buff to the mule. so no, the 2nd foundation wasn't random, i'd always planned on throwing the mule in there with 2 random townies, and since i knew i was going to pick a good scum player as mule I figured it'd be a buff for the mule. boonetown inadvertantly spoiled your advantage there

-seldon messages and town's reaction to seldon... I didn't expect that yamato's first post would be so... boring? i guess in hindsight what he did was probably correct play because it gave scum as little info as possible. i kinda expected him to claim "yamato" or something. I NEVER thought that town would be so trusting of seldon as they were. a few people grew paranoid when yamato voted grack, and who knows how more paranoid they would have been if the mule used telepathy. i think yamato's reads were just so good that it was very difficult for town not to trust him

i don't know.

i think i probably underestimated what you could have assumed about your role given the information you had about seldon (minimal, but more than every player)

i think you are probably underestimating how much damage your seldon abilities could have caused town given the information town had about seldon (none)

like imagine you are a townie. they didn;t know anything about seldon! alakaslam even decided it was so crazy it most have been host wifom. this seldon guy (apparently) has multiple votes even though he claims to only have 1, he leaves you messages, one of them missing letters, some of the messages don't agree with each other and seldon might even have to discredit himself by saying "i totally didn't write that last message and that vote wasn't me"

what about this scenario:

you use telepathy for the D3 (seldon's 2nd chance to post) post, and in that post you say "guys! that D2 post wasn't me! i'm town, so there must be some way for mafia to interfere what i'm doing!"

then real seldon shows up D4 and goes "uh guys the D3 seldon is the real liar! trust me, not him! btw here is my town cop check on alakaslam"

then tduring D4 the mule uses his extra vote on alakaslam. then the real seldon must immediately use HIS vote on not-slam

so from town's perspective, seldon has been essentially fighting and aruging with himself. if you are a townie who is naturally suspicious of everyone and everything, are you ever going to trust this guy as implicitly as everyone trusted yamato?

oh another things, the jamming ability...

I think it actually ended up being pro-seldon instead of anti-seldon as intended. People spent so much time reading the message trying to decode it that yamato's will to lynch grack probably bled into the thread in a way it woudn't have if town hadn't of had to work for the message.
