Town was fantastic this game. :$ I have to admit I could've pulled a fakeclaim, if given the time, but that damn homework got in the way..... D: At least I did slightly better than in Blues Bros. and Coheed.

This game was amazing. Sora, the Kingdom Hearts write-ups better be pretty damn good if you want to win Best Mafia Host next time around. I dunno, I think that the KH write-ups will be decent. It's the roles that will shine. Hans, I was totally cool with you watching me. Great job town!

Robbie and Musical
I got the idea for these roles from MTGS Mafia Redux on MTGSalvation, although in that game, the masons were confirmed town to eachother, and they actually had a joint cop ability rather than individual 1shot abilities. These were also one of the first roles that I thought of for the game.
At the beginning of the game, I was worried that they were going to consider themselves confirmed masons, as they didn't seem to be suspicious of eachother at all. I even double checked to make sure that the PMs I sent made it clear that they weren't confirmed town. I did expect them to try to lynch the other one more for their additional win condition rather than actually thinking the other was scum though.
If this game had 11 people, the Maples would have been scum (with the same role). I like them better as town, but I wanted there to be a chance of one of them being scum to keep up the paranoia level.
As for the flavor for The Oaks being a doctor, my reasoning was that, from the Oaks perspective, their leaves protect the small animals on the forest floor from birds of prey. For some reason, "Roleblocker" didn't even occur to me.

Kyle
As happy as I was at Wave's good use of the daykill, I was kinda sad to see this role go without doing anything.
In particular, I wanted to see how the marker ability played out. I was curious as to whether Kyle could use it in a effect way, and whether or not the town would fall for it. Unfortunately, since the role is a bit more well known, it wouldn't have the same effect on a new game (much like how the cannoneer stopped being useful after the Beatles game).
I originally had the role as just "Witch Hunt" with the marker ability and some sort of tracking ability, but I eventually realized that the Fear Series would make an excellent JoAT. Mostly, he was a roleblocker/redirect JoAT, and once the mafia lost him, it made it hard for them to catch up.
Kyle himself didn't play too badly; he just made a bit of a slip and got day killed for it.

SMAP
The Godfather part was mostly flavor; there were ways for people to get investigations through JR's role, but not many. I should have made him just a single priest rather than the whole group of them, because it made writing the flavor scene for his lynch sorta awkward.
I mostly had him as a tracker because that's what the mafia needed balance-wise. I feel like The Priests could be justified for just about any info role though.
They never got a chance to use their Janitor, which was somewhat unfortunate. The janitor was a last minute addition to give them a little more power, but it ended up not making a difference.
SMAP played alright, but the fact that he wasn't quite as active killed him at the end.

Icon
Another thing I really wanted to have in this game was a mafia extra kill. They are pretty powerful though, which is why I had 13 players in this game, and a decent number of protective roles.
I also really liked the flavor of this role, and how it protected from vig kills until he was ready to use the extra kill.
Icon played reasonably well for his first time as mafia. If it wasn't for the watch result on him, he probably would have been able to get the mislynch on MM and maybe Milk, but I think he would have gotten lynched near the end.

I like the kill meathod you used in the mafia roles. I might use that on a future game. I loved Kyle's role. It is a shame that it didn't get to be used.

town was on us from the beginning. I knew I was in trouble after SMAP got it. And I knew musical was a mason, wave blew his wad already, milk i believe claimed a role blocker. So I went after the others hoping they had a decent role.
And I would have gotten away with it if it wasnt for you meddling kids!!!

Fatal was absoulutely impossible to kill? Little bit overpowered I'd say. I can see like one shots and such but completely never can be killed?

Fatal was absoulutely impossible to kill? Little bit overpowered I'd say. I can see like one shots and such but completely never can be killed? In retrospect, yeah, it may have been a little much. Although, having it as a 1shot wouldn't have made it much worse (after you try to kill him once, you aren't going to try again). The role isn't completely overpowered though, as it still wastes the lynch if they try to lynch him, and again, the mafia aren't going to try to kill him multiple times. And yeah, this game was the best I've seen the town play in a while. Good show. And especially thanks for everyone remaining active this game.

The reason I thought SMAP was mafia was because at the beginning, one of his first posts was: "Im going to stick up for the Underdog." and then he voted Wave who had a vote on me. I found this extremely suspicious because in every single mafia game I have ever played, SMAP has always been on me at the very beginning of each game. So when he decided to not vote me, I knew that something was up.

I don't try to be onto you, you just normally cum come off as scummy to me. Still, my memory was kinda rusty, because I hadn't played Mafia in a while.
i suck at mafia
