Just got done playing with the group after joining as a viewer(Dave Clarke). Had a great time even though I had only watched ~5 minutes of a previous game.
Thanks again for entertaining a newbie and I'll be looking for a spot next week now that I have a better idea of whats going on. Hopefully I don't pull a Mafia spot... got some heat on me after this game I think.
I enjoy spectating this. However I feel while watching it, the day phase can go on for a really long time. While that is normal in most Mafia games. I think its hard to keep interest in the viewers while having some of them frequent for longer than 30 minutes. Could set a decent amount of time, 15 minutes would have a good flow. If they can't decide on who to lynch during that, the chat seems active enough to decide for them. Scary thought, but properly motivating to keep with the time allowed.

I like the idea. The chat could be called the 'City Council' or something along that line. strawpoll.me was suggested last night as a way for chat to vote.

Sheth got owned by Richard in the first game in the second week. It seemed so obvious who was mafia to me in that game. Sheth seems like such a bad liar. :O "Real cop come out?" No one does, everyone forgets. "Oh, Richard's lying. I'm cop."
Also, orb claiming that "i'm town" is adequate evidence on the first day. Then, they lynch 8mm. So many obvious tells.
Problem was Richard was much quieter than Sheth and not really privy to the game it seems.
(Disclaimer: I haven't finished this game yet, i'm still currently watching)
Edit: Finished, and that was easy.
Edit2: Richard impressed me with his assertiveness and passion in the final day. He turned out to be an awesome mafia player.
