Ah, lists. I can do lists...
Had to actually come to a computer to address this bit properly
First you asked me how he would have balanced the game and I don't think like him so I gave the next best thing.
Fair point, but you're also making fairly significant assumptions about how many roles he put in the game in the first place, which suggested to me you put some thought into other possible permutations of the game, too...
My point being that you said you would have balanced the game in such a way, and then seem to have assumed that that's how DA actually set the game up. This strikes me as too simple an error for someone to make.
Second, I don't think it was ever a secret, we are superheroes
Perhaps, but I have to quote The Incredibles because it's just too good an opportunity not to:
"When everyone is special, then no-one will be."
Perhaps DA has considered that there are super-heroes (like Batman and Robin, or Aquaman) that don't have powers that would translate to a power role, so those kinds of super-heroes are the VTs?
Fourth, I didn't say we should reveal today, tomorrow maybe but it does nothing if we reveal today, it just lets the clone lord pick who they think has the juiciest power.
You didn't directly say that, no, but you did say "it makes sense for everyone to be a power role" which invites people to say "I think you're wrong" (indirectly saying "I'm not a power role") or "I think you're right" (indirectly saying "I have a power role") which does not strike me as pro-town, especially considering what Megas set out in their role-creation post about what he would do if he were the CL, namely target people with power roles.
Fifth, this is all hypothetical and if you get the opinion I'm sharing too much or that I am right might I ask why you think that, with text quotes please
Hypothetical or not, it looked like sneaky role-fishing. Anyway, you asked for quotes, I give you quotes:
SabertoothTiger is this your first game of mafia? of bay12 mafia?
This game has strong superhero themes with the Guardians of the Earth and a satellite base so therefore it makes sense for everyone to be a power role. There are 9 people in this game, 1 cult puts the cult at a disadvantage if what I think is true and we all have a power role, therefore there is either a third party or multiple cult to start with.
The bold part is you sharing too much. Did you consider that saying "I think everyone has a power role" reveals that you have a power role, because you're not going to come to the conclusion that
everyone has a power role if you don't have a power role?
I don't think anyone with a power role is going to reveal on D1, because that would mean the PR can't be used, so it stands to reason that either:
a) you're a VT performing a gambit.
or:
b) you're a cultist performing a gambit.
The information that's going to be revealed by people responding to you are going to be revealing some information that is anti-town (whether or not they have a PR) so I find it really hard to believe it's option a).
Obviously these are not the only options, but they seem the likeliest to me. Others feel free to tell me I'm wrong.
I also don't like how you voted for Saber... FoU already said their vote was a pressure vote, my vote, while not stated outright, was a pressure vote (implied perhaps by my play advice to Saber) and there were also two others who FoS'd Saber. I think Saber had enough people expressing chagrin (half the other players) of his distaste of attention that he would get the point that it's not the way we play on B12.
You also asked Saber if this was his first game of mafia, as well as (later in the post you voted for him) that what he was doing might be a newbie mistake so... I'm not sure how all that warrants a third "pressure" vote, and a fifth person saying "hoy! don't be doing that!"
PPE: FoU... not really stealing my thunder so I won't swear at you. At least not until later...
