Even consistently good players are just slightly more often right or good than terrible ones, because it's such a marginal game. And no, my comment was sarcastic, there's absolutely nothing wrong with playing in this game as a newbie. Indeed. Bring her back! The thing with the "stacked" list is that many peope on this player list won't be able to put in the same amount of time they did years ago. And there is also marv who has always been shittier. Good thing the other new guys joined. They left a very good first impression. | ||

I am not sure if both vet getting shot and doc saving 1 person is superb play. Not bad play though. But 5 ml is insane!!! Such a long game as well. Town leaders being alive for a long time. Blueclaims... Not balanced imo. 2 veterans I could live with if rb cancels the vest. It was so last game you hosted so that is fine. 2 docs is imbalanced. 2 vigis I can live with. But pretty insane. 2 cops are maybe even more imbalanced than 2 docs. Random all roles is fun and stuff. But you want to keep your game balanced. Like cop + vigi puts so much pressure on the mafia team to look extremely good. Town gets a lynch, a copcheck and a vigi shot before Day 2. And on Day 2 could potentially claim 2 blue roles (they are unlynchable). That is information on 6 players by the start of D2 in a 13 player game, at least 2 of those are dead. And mafia wins on 3rd ml on 3rd day but still... Maybe introduce a miller? So mafia has an out when they get redchecked. Or a framer instead of gf. Or both. If you really 100% random and have potential double roles on all I think I will out. 2 any roles are always good enough for town with a chance to become batshit crazy. I agree with this guy. He is a balance expert after all. | ||

The risk of having setups like vet/doc vs. gf and framer is there but I take this risk as I think that having this possibility in will increase speculations. After all, it's a guessing game.  A guessing game, yeah. But the "guessing" here does not stand for "set up guessing". Randomizing things is generally a good idea but not if it results in a broken game balance. | ||

Town loses a ml if they hit town and don't gain one if they hit mafia Could make the cop parity in setup 4 though Yeah, the lost mislynch is the only reason I wasn't sure. Because like koshi said town possibly gains a lot of information on day2 already. Even if the vig misses you have 1 or 2 (if cop claims) confirmed townies, a question mark erased and a cop check. Not a fan of swingy minis in general but balance wise it might be fine. Especially with a parity cop instead of a regular one. | ||

I probably wouldn't play it but to each his own. | ||

I will have far less time on my hands than I used to spend on mafia games since I got a PhD scholarship and am working on that more than full time now. Do not expect my activity or involvement to be even similar - I have also decided to care far less about this game (we will see if that works at all) because otherwise I can't play anymore. And since the d1 deadline seems to be on a wednesday evening I will almost certainly miss that too. Still looking forward to playing. Really nice playerlist. | ||

More wishy washy statements on koshi to come. I don't think nu really confirmed himself town here. But on the other hand why bother as mafia? I am eagerly awaiting wishy washy statements on Koshi. | ||

I always imagined that was the hardest thing to do and that in reality the jury wouldn't dismiss it at all. But I will completely dismiss it. I encourage the other judges to follow my example. A reasonable stance your honor. | ||

Will keep your point in mind though. He is indeed known to lurk and I of course remember that. But especially as a low volume poster your posts should have a purpose. I don't see him getting anywhere or actually being interested in what he says. | ||

Is this actually a thing? Calix? Because then your approach is indeed hard to understand. | ||
