We guessed you were townie but we had no idea what role you had. We decided not to bother bombing you because you are you haha.

I don't think the extra votes were imbalanced so much as the fact that it's actually legal to privately claim. In any game type, you're probably going to have some way for there to be someone who is a guaranteed townie. If not mathematically, than just purely through reads. I considered LTT guaranteed townie just by how much he was screwing over mafia.

Claiming should be public. Period. The inherent risk in claiming is exposing yourself to the mafia and potentially making yourself a target. However, it's still viable because there are medics to protect you. Additionally it might be worth dying for to give the town the information you have, and if mafia kill you and your role is revealed, that information is guaranteed to be true.

I had fun, I guess. I called from the very start that this game was ridiculously imbalanced for town, and that was before I knew about the fact that we were all power roles. Thanks for the game guys, but I doubt I'll be playing again.



While I agree things should be more public we're playing on an internet forum - really there isn't much anyone running the game can do to stop that.

Granted, but claiming is only useful if you use it to organize the town with the information they get. If the game organizers saw people making assumptions on information they shouldn't know, they would be able to determine people were privately claiming. Additionally, I like to think that most people here have some ethics and if Chuiu banned privately claiming most wouldn't do it, and those who did would be ratted out by those who don't (in the spirit of having a good game).


They can't tell. In BCs game when I was mafia, I lied and said Fakesteve and 2 other townies PM'd me their roles. Steve said he didn't so I publicly called out the roles - I really was lying but it just so happened I had 2 of the 3 right.

How would the mods have known? x_x

Day 1 clues were good I felt. I,e they were too hard to get for the most part which is the entire point. Everyone always tries to make something of them anyway (and is 90% wrong of course) for whatever reason, then something else always comes up that decides the outcome anyway. It's just weird natural progression I guess.

I think that this shows we need to reflect and go over things more carefully before jumping the gun. We've had two flops now because of guaranteed innocents. They simply don't work and unfortunately this system has very large flaws even if there were no veterans. Namely that because all the roles are very weak (except PE which can use its power turn 1), the mafia no longer have to decide between killing blues and killing smart people. Now they can just kill off every smart person immediately with no consquences (medics can block this so it basically becomes a crapshoot) . This is something to avoid because a) it makes targeting braindead b) it turns the town into this slum of stupidity that everyone grimaces at within 2 days. I don't think we want to encourage smurfing.

Also, potentially 5 votelists would have been far too strong even if they would've overlapped (any more than 1-2 votelists really screws the mafia, it's an extremely strong ability that should be severely restricted if included at all). Town/Mafia powers are kinda questionable (some of them were definitely too strong, while I think voting for a double lynch is a great idea that should be kept).

I believe we are going to balance things out privately so hopefully we can have a great game next time!

I edited my post you quoted a bit.
I was actually "serious" this time
I really had no time since I'm dealing with some issues lately.

I've already took a game off (Caller's game), and have discussed with BC a bit about the game.
I was hoping for an all around good game this time, without the dead talking, people cheating, and packed with a bunch of inactives, which were the main factors that decided most of our previous TL Mafia games. It was just simply lame, for either side.

I do confess I had a smirk on my face, when I was half way through the thread knowing that I was the last veteran and had the ability to "screw around". But damn, the game ended so quick... (in a bad way?)

I forgot which thread/blog it was, but I think I've mentioned a couple times that the experienced players/game hosts needs to come together and discuss the rules and roles in order to balance out things.

I've also mentioned, which I believe in Caller's thread, that game hosts needs to restrain from adding "new elements" to the game without a well thought out refining process with the general consensus first.

I just want to play a good game

We did have a discussion. With little feedback, but it was a start. I personally didn't like the idea of giving everyone roles, but we were debating this and I felt it was useless to keep on arguing. Anyway, we experimented with it, and I think now we should move on. Double lynch as a town ability is a good alternative to Mayor. If more discussion will occur privately, I'd like to join.

Wow you are really good at getting medic roles. LTT and I were not happy when you made that post haha. However, it didn't really matter. We were only missing like 6 claims at that point and I think we still got another "townie" claim after that post.

I believe I hold the record! In Callers game, I got the village idiot role, I role called Ace as mafia (blindly) claiming to be a Jack. Somehow with around 60+ roles, I role called the God Father, which effectively ended the game. It was before Day 1, I believe? Because Ace was lynched and just shouted about imba and how the game was fucked and his unbeatable plan. So he never got lynched, game just ended.

This was still epic as fuck :D

Don't ask don't tell was chuiu's comment about the clue. It wasn't actually related to the clue itself.

haha we had like 3 pages of disagreement, it apparently wasn't THAT obvious I was lying :D I think the only thing that almost ruined my credibility was RCing DT first when I knew I had the potential to be insane. I should of went strait into the Jack role call.

I still hate the insane concept >.<;

a bunch of mafia vets should get on IRC and talk out a set up for the next mafia game, I was too lazy to read the thread. Especially when people had epic long posts I disagreed with, and didn't feel like debating point for point or reading the entirety of.

Anyone up for a TL Mafia IRC channel to talk it over?

Personally, I think my favorite moment was in the one I linked, where some guy started posting under the name "RealJack" claiming I was lying, and everyone was like "MAFIA PLOY!!" and I was sitting there laughing my ass off.

the opz ban was also hilarious, I remmeber reading it as it was happening. Plexa warned him and he was reading the thread from like 10 pages back, quoting and posting from 10 pages earlier and lined up like 6 posts in a row and Plexa was like THAT'S IT, TAKE A WEEK BREAK, LEARN TO POST MERGE

hilarity. That was Mafia 3, right?
