The Mafia Game [attn: all players]

[the dude]

that was sweet. we gotta do another one, though i'd better sit out the next one and hope there's a third, cuz as of friday, i will be gone till the 16th.

[Sirayn]

Glad you liked it. :D I'd particularly like feedback on two points ...

 

1. What did you think of the not-knowing-anything? I know somebody commented upthread that they didn't like not knowing how many of each role there were - any other views?

2. Was the game balanced enough? There were more good roles than evil roles, 4 to 3, but this was counteracted by the ability of both sides to engage in friendly fire - which both did to my great hilarity - and the increased lack of communication among the good side; they had basically 3 separate entities, the healer, the vigilante and the finder team, whereas the bad guys had only 2, the sympathiser and the assassin team. Was it too easy? Too hard?

 

Much love from your lovely, loving mod.

personally, i wouldn't change anything without playing another game or 2. i liked the element of tension. then again, i had a partner, so it wasn't as bad as some others might have had it.

 

did the killers know who each other were?

 

i'd say it was balanced, but it's hard to say from just one game. i never felt at a huge disadvantage, anyway.

I liked it. However, I can imagine that if you're just an innocent that it can get frustrating not knowing anything. I think the game was fairly well balanced, but I'm not sure about having two finders on the innocent's team when there are so few players.

 

I really liked my role as a symp/finder. :D Just wish I wouldn't have been killed :x

 

Sign me up for the next game. :D

Uh, I need a stiff drink.

 

It was definately harder then say the Werewolf game. Dude and I were just flying by the seat of our pants for the most part. Suspecting everyone. He would ask me who I wanted to go after, and I'd be like "hmmmm.. I don't like this person so much, let's go after him." We had no idea what we were doing. Or at least I didn't.

 

But that made it a little more fun. When we lynched Quibby, and then didn't get any info on wether we'd gotten the right one, I was like "Oh Darn. We're screwed."

 

Definetly fun.

[Angyl]

I had a blast. I'll also admit I was absolutely clueless on who to suspect.. until the night no one died. Hell, I wound up protecting myself each night. Then when we came upon a night no one died, I looked back over the posts, certain I'd been targeted for some reason. The lockets were a dead giveaway to me then. And I was sooo frustrated when I couldn't get anyone to believe me about Nevare's guilt *grins*.

 

As to how off balance this game had me, well, let's just say, I didn't even realize Dude had revealed his role until later, when he mentioned that he had. :oops: At that point, I knew I better think fast, and still give the impression I held my own life more valuable than a finder.

 

Good Game all, and I look forward to doing it again. Though I'll also be gone next week, so maybe game 3 if I miss 2.

I had investigated Nevare and found him guilty, so I was just going to follow his vote, or so I thought. I suspected that Angyl was the healer, so I didn't vote for her. I had investigated Kadere and found him innocent, that's why I voted for him. I was going to investigate Winter Mist, who I knew had to be guilty, but then you guys lynched her when I was sleeping. And then Nevare kills me! His sympathiser! :x

[Winter Mist]

I'm not sure I'd sign up for something like that again, but knowing me I probably will :) It was good fun, for the most part apart from the jaw-dropping moments I had!

 

I feel so loved!

[Zylazlo-]

Yay we won! Yea, I'm extremely slow on the uptake! But indeed it was a great game! I loved the uncertainty and all that, but more killers next time would be great!

[Nevare]

:)

aww . . . I got lynched. Not surprised though- I agve you guys too many clues. My third (or fourth) post was a big give away.

Note To Self: Next Time don't kill partner copunting on the fact that Raene had died when she was supporting you to keep others from lynching you.

Congrat on figuring out the lockets Angyl (though you were only part way right).

 

I loved the game. Sign me up for number 2.
