Mini 424 - Game Over

[LyingBrian]

I think the town had too much power 'on the surface'. There is no way any reasonable town would possibly believe they could have

that

much claimed power (i.e. 2 Cops, 1 Doc, 1 Back-Up Doc, 1 Role-Blocker, 2 Guaranteed Innocent Masons).

I am also not a fan of deceitful roles (50% Doc, for example) in Mini Regular Games - when I sign up to play a Mini Regular game, I want a

simple

set-up, and I often expect a good amount of Townies. Two Mafiates with powers (a Godfather and a Role-Blocker) definitely make me think this town as a whole was two power-packed... there were only

three

vanilla roles (the two townies and the mafia goon). Games similar to this I think you might as well add flavor and toss it in the Mini Theme Section, where it would be generally more expected that the Mafia would have powers in order to be able to step up to the town, and expected that the town roles are likely weaker than they claim to be.

Congrats to the scum.

my first mini had the same ratio... 7 out of the 9 non-Mafia players had "power" roles (1 SK, 1 Vig, 2 Cops, 2 Docs, 1 RB)... of course some of those were "deceitful" roles (Placebo Doc), and i think Naive & Paranoid Cops would fall under the "deceitful" title as well as they provide the town no information & can be fake-claimed easily... i think my games may be better off themed as well... but do you think a setup similar to this game & my first mini would fare well as a Mini Theme?..

I think it would be fairer to the players as a Mini Theme, actually, simply because Mini Regulars raises expectations of simplicity, whereas Mini Themes have expectations of complications.

>< Oargh.

Well, at least my first time of forgetting which account I'm under was after the game was over. Yeesh.

No wonder he looked good.

well i wasn't going to say anything, but since the cat is out of the bag, i did a similar setup at Thespival... i don't know, maybe "vanilla-less" setups are my schtick...

Only answering this formally because Thok thought I was Hand Banana for whatever reason. I was Javert.

[hand banana]

ha.. elias and me thought thre has to ba SK, and that it's either javert or meme.. all this time after acfan's lynch i spent re-reading the game.
but it was actually already over
i was really surprised that mod didn't finish the game after that last lynch..

ps
we decided that meme is a sk. and sent both block and kill haha

[Elias_the_thief]

yeah. Mainly because you seemed eager to lynch lurkers. Although, thats kind of your style. (post or perish and all that)

[MeMe]

Worked out well Day 1 and WOULD have worked out well if I'd have followed up on that whole "hey -- why the hell is Sweeny getting replaced in here when he's posting elsewhere" thought.

Grr. Although I'm happy that there are players willing to replace, those who don't finish what they start

suck

.

[Elias_the_thief]

im sorry again about my own absense, it was unexpected. But I definately dont like players who just decide to quit a game for no reason.

[MeMe]

hehe! I didn't actually mean for that to sound like I was screaming at you. Although I don't like a lack of posting as a strategy, it doesn't bother me too much when the player doing it answers for it him/herself. Basically, if you're not posting, you should expect to deal with any fall-out from that. Getting someone else to answer

for

you is either lazy (best case) or cowardly (worst).

Again: grr.

Thought Javert was way to good for that new a player...

[spectrumvoid]

I'm sorry sorry sorry for screwing up the night choices.

I KNEW Javert was way too good.
