Stand by for an administrative note regarding future procedure.
Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.
First, that is the LAST time I do that avatar-based damage count - it stretches the page way too much.
I'm going to spring for a BBCode table instead - I'm pretty positive you can put colors in the cells, so that's great.
Second, I've been thinking. The two issues I see right now are
1) unfamiliarity with the controls, and
2) no real direction (beyond random mayhem).
Assuming that doesn't get better with the two remaining DEMO days, a Mafia game would be hurt pretty badly by this. SO, here's an offer.
I have prepared a Mish-Mash version of this game. It's on a 5x5 grid, works in a capture-the-flag style, and would be played 7 vs. 7. With teammates, you would be able to confer with each other and sort out the controls with much more freedom with each other, and capture-the-flag provides a very clear goal for gameplay. Plus I think having teammates would make this more fun in general.
We can jump to it as soon as everyone's basically fine with how the controls work and have offered suggestions based on what they've seen so far. The basic mechanics behind randomly generated roles, action resolution, and map-based movement would be the same.
It's your choice, of course. I have the Mafia game and the Mish-Mash game already generated, so it's no trouble for me either way.
Until a consensus is reached, the DEMO phase is still on...

I think the lack of direction is mostly because everyone knows that there aren't any actual mafia yet >.>
I'd rather have the mafia game but I'd certainly keep playing if you moved it to Mish-Mash.

I agree with gamma about the game state. I think things would be greatly stabilized (I hope) if a mafia game was actually being played. If that was the case, people shouldn't be randomly shooting each other.
That being said, I'm good with a mish mash version if thats preferred. It's a bit different tactics of course, but we'll figure it out as we go along I imagine.
YOUR AD HERE
Too busy with work to play mafia right now but I shall return some day!
if I had money to lay down, I bet with this cast of characters (no offense to be had), the game will not stabilize. I can hear it now "I played this was when I didnt know my alignment"
is that these would be directions in addition to region names. Of course they are not ambiguous. If you are at SE and move north, you arrive at E. However, it could still lead to some confusion, since people could forget where others are and interpret their moves incorrectly.
but I understand if this would confuse other players, possibly even more than the first option.
Now that I've seen what the rules are, this feels more like a mafia mutation than a regular mafia game. I don't know how well you could scumhunt in this setup, I have some ideas but I think that the mafia would probably overpower the town with their factional kill before the town figured out a good strategy. The mish-mash version might suit this setup better, since with known teams, both sides could really get into the strategy side of the battle. I could still play this as either mafia or mish-mash, the mafia version would be hard but I would probably enjoy the challenge.

Better clear out, you don't want to be there when the mine goes off. I did not have to post that in public you know, but this being the demo phase...
I wont leave if it remains a mafia game, but would prefer a mish mash.

Remain Mafia game
My name is TheButtonmen and I approve this message.
I mean who hasn't wanted to be a part of the next chess mafia.

Then a week goes by and it goes untouched
Then two, then three, then a month
Then the rest of your life, you beat yourself up
It's kind of the reverse actually though. I'm fully expecting at leeeeast one person to be an idiot and get distracted by minor scummitude from townies and tunnel on them with bullets for a while.
...This actually didn't start out as a subtle reference to you but my subconscious might have gotten in the way.
