Er... in. This will almost certainly confuse me greatly.
You and me both...
Hey, its you guys! :D
Alright, filling you out briefly.

This is like an RPG. You create your character. This is Mafia. So its like a Mafia RPG where you create your role.

When the game is filled with player slots (and replacement slots--there'll mostly be one person in need of a replacement in these games, somehow, but its also great to have other people watching the thread), then we will all be assigned our alignment.

That is when Role Creation starts, with the 10 points // +5 bonus points from flaws.
That's when you make your role, suggestively tailored to the alignment you have been given (ie Scum teams would be advised to make teamwork-roles, or go alone...though this is not recommended.)

So its rather a game which builds your scumhunting and deduction sense, rather than rely on the ol' vanilla hardset of Roles and setup debating. Its you and the world vs the World.

Also this game has undergone nice field-test changes!
There is no more of:
-Day abilities.
-Recycle.
-Everything else 4mask mentioned.
-Many, many tweaks!

Well that's good, I was rather thinking it would be quite messy with all the roles and not much scumhunting... but I'm just a slightly more seasoned n00b than Peradon, so I would think that :))

I'm sure it will sill be messy, but in a good way :) I can imagine a townie pardoning a mafia and other shenanigans happening.

Question: do the mafia gt an automatic kill, or does one of the mafia have to take the kill ability?

The latter, there is no factional kill.

It was pretty brutal for everyone, including the unlucky scum players, but especially for the hapless good-natured town players that chose solid investigative roles and immediately had all their powers stolen by their more avaricious team-mates.

I remember changelings filled with flaws crippling the scum team with a lucky hit.
That was TheDarkStar, yes.  In addition, he gained the scum player's innocent, which outed Objective then and there, particularly when Jack confirmed it with flavor cop.  Which was funny, we might have lynched him there, but the converter was more important.  Thanks to NativeForeigner, we found the converter (Deathsword/Persus13) and kept the game from being a complete blowout scum victory.  Tawarochir had kind of outed himself the day before by quickhammering P-Luke, and so it basically came down to Jim Groovester or Leafsnail as the last scum.  TDS shot Jim, we lynched Leafsnail the following day, and then it came down to finding who the scum had converted that night.  The logical choice was mastahcheese, as he had the most points, so I roleblocked him and Jack, independently reaching the same conclusion, inspected him with his infalliable alignment cop.  So he couldn't do his shennanigans, we lynched him the next day, and at that point it was a curb-stomp.

Hehehe Choose-Your-Own-Masquerade went differently, but I think someone else should explain that one.  Changeling had to be nerfed after that one, let's put it that way.
You're forgetting Mastahcheese asked to be inspected by Jack, but yeah, this is a pretty good summary.

I'll probably look to start the game tomorrow, but it would be good to get at least 12 players.

Remember to tailor them to your role though :P no point in being able to murder everyone if you're a townie.
