The plan was very not fun, but I was hoping to become a lvl 5 necromancer and resurrect people. This was like D&D. Was fun while it lasted. Perhaps, we'll have a replay of its bit more balanced version.

Also, toonyman, you were beetleswarm!

Toony was also lovers with Vector and not Jim. Fake claim which lover is a classic ploy.

Town had three Beetleswarms and two Level 2 Doctors, we could have spammed Medium as a level 1 CORPSE action to bring the three of us back over and over. Beetleswarm might be broken if no mafia have it.

Meanwhile mafia got two Level 2 Surveyors (lol) and also the incredibly terrible Afflicted and Corrupt flaws. Ouch.

Some of the worse flaws could come with a semi-randomized or flaw-specific 1-shot, to counterbalance the feeling of being crippled.

I thought Egan was town. I'm pleased that I called Mightymushroom being scum.
I was starting to worry about Vector and Wuba working together. From my RVS question to Vector about how we'd catch a Vector+Wuba scum team ("Maybe we'd get into a fight and bus each other"), to Vector saying they wouldn't be grilling Wuba yet again this game. I didn't really thinking about that until I felt like they'd both town-leaned my top scum pick and were pushing towards Toaster.
Despite that, the Toaster lynch was convincing. Without scum leaving, I'd have likely gone along with that, then turned suspicion towards W+V, splitting my limited abilities between them and Mushroom and not gotten much done D2, especially while psyching myself out about my ineffectual attacks on the top tier players.

I never got to make my reads list but I basically felt conflicted about everyone. It's only luck that my three picks were the mafia team.

I felt most strongly that Caz and Nirur were town, that's pretty much it.

I just focused on Tric since I don't know how Egan or MM act in normal games re: pressure etc. Egan seemed more 'new' than 'scum' to me.

Beetleswarm does seem like another OP choice. Until mafia get the corpse destroying ability town can basically revive and confirm them.

Edit: Actually it's even worse - "When you die you leave 1d100 corpses". So even destroying the corpse doesn't get rid of them, since they are likely to have more.

Eh, guessing all the Mafia D1 is a pipe dream. All I was 100% sure of was that LuckyOwl was Town. Pretty sure ToonyMan and Jim was Town. Unsure on the rest. I wasn't sure MM was Town, but they weren't scummy enough to go after Today for sure.

If I had played out N1 I was totally targeting Vector for mafiakill. Throwing Parakeet chat into disarray was prime chaos material.

Edit:

And I hated you for it, it was pretty clearly based on who wasn't part of your campfire circle.
Only Webadict out of town ever seriously opposed the Plan. It did rather isolate us, and there was no sign that Toony was following up on that.

Better than nothing. :)

Nobody tells me what to do. I was seriously considering doing my own thing at Night anyway, since I had Magnetic, and needed a way to do things that actually got scum elims.

Oh, well, that was unexpected.  Clearly I can't D1 with too many people.


Town had three Beetleswarms and two Level 2 Doctors, we could have spammed Medium as a level 1 CORPSE action to bring the three of us back over and over. Beetleswarm might be broken if no mafia have it.

Personally, I think Beetleswarm is quite powerful for either side; either waste town time as scum or insta-confirmed townie.  If I had moved toward lynch, I would have claimed as such and said "go ahead and lynch me, you can get me back."





What if instead of a profession tree, you had an ability grid, a la Path of Exile or Final Fantasy 12?  Obviously not that large, but the general concept of skills in a web instead of a direct line.  There'd be several "entry points" into the web, and you get one for free.  Buying an extra entry point costs you a Flaw.

Designing such a web would be quite the undertaking, however.

Yep, I got that sense: "I'm dying tonight!"

I wouldn'ta minded either, because I didn't have a vote :V
