Perhaps I should explain myself next time.

But I doubt you would believe me.

[Demagog]

Sooo why'd you target me first? I chose to protect myself round 2 instead of 1 because I felt like that was being too narcissistic hahaha.

Also, I nominate myself for best roleplay; the advantage of dying so early!

Closed setup was fun. Getting skunked was not.

[Demagog]

I didn't pay much attention to this mafia, mostly just checked to see who died. Looking back, were any of the mafias obviously mafia? On another note, the longer some players live, they more likely they are to be mafia (mafia likes tends to kill people they see as more threatening). I have the impression that Rob is one of these players. Am I correct? If so, why didn't you lynch him 2-3 rounds prior to now?

That's just one strategy I follow as I familiarize myself with the people I play with. People still alive once mafia starts killing people I don't see as priority nightkills are much more likely to be mafia.

What? A mafia that you have to actually find and lynch? So broken.  There were several times that it was on the doorstep of being broken open...

Also, no comments on the lore?  :( It was sublime.

I'm sure if I were to go back and analyze voting, posts mentioning other players, and reads / opinions lists it would be somewhat discernible what players were and were not likely connected. Town allowed too much solo-emphasis in day time lynch decisions instead of aiming for POE's that could be worked through and have commentary about. I think I may speak rightly that Sub, Kuro, gino, and Hyro felt, in the moment, very solo-targeted despite the fact the statements and case against them was accurately conveyed it was often a case of overwhelming the recipient to a point that they thought only of vote for/against a single player rather than picking a vote out of a POE group.

I never even had to reach into a small bag-of-tricks I was trying to keep on-hand should I come under fire or be in a position facing a well-reasoned suspicion.

Also, who can find my role-name drop crumbs early-game?

This game has taught me a lot about how to play mafia. Hopefully I'll put it to good use in the next one.
Also, the reason UTA's third stab on solaris didn't work is thanks to me. Expert Panel, remember?

Yup, Mafia had it figured out

[CleanOnion]

Linkcat is actually quite a nice person

A couple of minor balancing issues that were made much more apparent by closed set up.
However, I think many elements were inspired and the lore was the best i have seen.
I slowly played more agressively basically to see how far i could push it while we still lead. Only ppl who were on to me were UTA, but he's who i wss agressive against  (sorry UTA! just for fun!)... and Espithel. Future mafias ill be paying attention to him.
Clean sweep was helped by magia basically being a dream team. Gj all!

[Fippe94]

Just want to say that I was very sure that JCJ and rob was mafia in the end.

I didn't have any ability aside from bulletproof. My comment about I had an ability that would work as long as I survived the night was only a desperate attempt to get mafia to target me with night kill.

Well played, mafia. Well played.
