@quebbs: I'm sorry my strict schedule isn't really the best for you. It is the only way I see for me to get 3 phases in a week and avoid the lazy weekend phases, for the majority of the players in the game. I feel people appreciate the fact that I always get the game open and closed at the same time consistantly, rather than wonder when a game will be open.

I think these are all good points. The mafia team is inherently more faction-based than the town, that's the design of the game. I've said it before but even with a faction win the individual goal is to contribute to that faction win, and to contribute, one has to survive. And it's definitely more satisfying to survive to the end than to die early.

Faction-wins are a good step, but individual playstyles are still full of variety.

True. This is the main reason I was able to stay alive. If you'd counterclaimed PGO when I did, instead of waiting until you PGO'd somebody, then one of us would've been lynched probably that day. If it was you, I would've probably been gone the next day.

That my claim went uncontested for as long as it did, and that Gira allowed the kill/GW to overwrite the write-up text that would otherwise describe the kill, and the false autopsy for Sully, meant that I had several days claimed before being questioned, and at that point it was just accepted.

This sounds like a lot of fun.

It sounds like a blast. I floated the allneutral idea in the Avengers thread because something felt wrong in the number of claimed neutrals..

This is what I said earlier. PGO is hard to play. But when someone else claims the power and you know you're the town PGO, imo you have to step forward.

It varies game to game and the way TB47 played it got him to the end.

However, if he would've claimed the town wouldn't have lost a very powerful weapon in The Gillman and the mafioso (RP) would've been lynched clearing up the Sully ghost write and mafia theme.

Fair enough, lesson learned. Although I was also unsure as to whether or not there could be 2 PGOs in a game. And no one seemed to get on board when I DID question it after I was outed.

It was in no way a riff at you, sorry if you took it that way. I was merely pointing out that there was never any lynch momentum I could back while I was awake - that was because of the players, not because of you. A strict schedule is in no way a bad thing.

Well, mafia players are a fickle breed. We tend to focus on recent events. Since the Phantom claim was de facto uncontested for so long I think people mostly accepted it. And by the time you claimed, most Town players who might have started pressure were dead already.
There's a lot of fingerspitzgefühl in this game. That's what makes it so fun and so aggravating.

The reason I was afraid to use it: you saw what happened in the end to EnsRedShirt and TurdBurglar, right? The two town members I gave it to had lowered thresholds, and in endgame, it was a one-vote lynch. So it was a tradeoff, and a very clever role, don't get me wrong, I thought it was very cool, but it really seemed more neutralish. If I used it on scum, they could be protected from a nightkill; if I used it on town, their threshold was lowered. So I tried to use it cautiously.

Oh, and "yes to both," care to expand? I was unaware of any bomb mechanic I had.

Really only 12?? That explains Monster Energy and Cereal Monsters....
This is a game I was debating back and forth....but I thought back to Myth Mafia and went with Cerebus...but easily could have picked Delphyne, Hedorah, Sobek , Machien Man and more

Hey I tried...I JK you night one actually based on a joking comment I think Rokk said...which kept you alive one more night at least lol

Maybe I mised it but who is the winged monster I dont see who that was among the roles


and Pazzuzu(what a funny name sounds like it should be a clown)....since I never really watched the movies does he do the black smoke cloud thing?

Also I never knew Pennywise was considered female anyone more familiar can they explain that to me?

Ah you should have seen the heyday of Mafia I think we once had a double digit mafia

agreed.

Well, I sure wasn't going to say no.

Dayum.

Mind you we also had a few games (that being one I am sure) where we had over 50 in one mafia (even if some people had 2 Id's lol)

Pssh I requested Monster Energy, and it was awesome.

Until Mal shook me too hard.

Jerk.
