Yeah, we all thought you were dirty. The comment about the clue being too easy, plus outing me had is convinced you were one of the bad guys.
I enjoyed the extra clues and whatnot. I was pumped to finally be something other than a regular innocent. I was excited at the possibility of winning as a team of two. Unfortunately, my role had me die when I received the cryptex and my partner decided not to participate. Frustrating.
Lack of a doctor made up for that, I think. Plus, the Cleaver clue outed me as well, so I think it was a wash. Mafia should have nailed Cleaver ASAP.
On the to many special roles note I feel like that’s what ended up killing CF mafia games for a while. Games like this serve as a nice break with lots of roles, but probably should not be done regularly.
one other thing, I feel like we never give the mafia any special powers other than maybe in insta kill. Would be interesting if they could block an investigation or shadow influence voting somehow.

That or maybe have a special widget that doubles somebody's vote and can be passed to anyone. The special widget is fun, but I think it definitely gives the innocents an edge later in the game.
The trich widget sucked, though.
I'm actually not a big fan of half days in general. What is the rush? Each game has gone by so quickly and has too much group think. Let people get on to express their feelings or defend themselves.
Now when it dwindles down to single digits, or it's announced the day before, I'm fine with it. But with like 20 people left it's a little over the top, and just a tell from the mayor that someone is pegged too obviously, and when discussed after non-majority votes gives it away.
Bsalty, great job on your virgin game! Nothing on you at all, just half days in general. It's relatively a new things we've been jumping on.
edit: part of mafia I this this hurts to is the fun of crack pot theories and trying to talk your way out of a situation. We used to have epic battles between people trying to out-lie each other.
There is the point. The half days that we have had have been pretty sure things with verified people pointing fingers. I don't think we would get this banter either way. All we would have for the day is 20 people voting for the same person with no additional dialog. Makes for a pretty boring day.
Ya I can see it both ways, just stinks for people that can't be so active.
I think I'm officially that old grumpy mafia player. Maybe I need to take a vacation until my hearts in it again and I actually try.
I had the same clue from the start of the game but I wasn't about to share it and get killed for being a special.
I thought this game was refreshing when we had the one day where everyone posted their reads on people and had actual discussion about it. That is what allowed us to find more innocents than mafia really and band together and weed out who was left. We need more of that going forward.
I'm curious what you're wanting that isn't "group think", exactly?
The last few games have had plenty of "confirmed" innocents out in the open and they become easy to follow because people know they're not being led astray by someone lying. That's just the nature of how those games have developed.
I feel like people have had every opportunity to discuss things. It's not like anyone's opinions are being suppressed.
