pikk0n provides drama no doubt, but previous rounds after he died were fine too with sufficient banter. Right now it's random bandwagon jumps with no arguments I don't know why I'm still checking back ( I still do get excited whenever I see 'New Post' in this thread and read it first)
In addition, the number of inactive players are just disappointing. Why would you join a game like this and go inactive? It's retarded.
2 Mafia families is basically harder for Citizens and Mafia alike, since it's hard to note trends and you (A Mafia) can get killed by Mafia. 1 Mafia family is just hard for Citizens if the family knows what they're doing (don't be dumb and create obvious trends)
I think more can be changed to the game too, with more active roles. It's boring as hell to be a Citizen since all you're capable of doing is to use words to convince. Mafia can nightkill AND use words to convince. etc. Informant seems like a rather useless role for every round so far, I haven't seen any instance where their 'info' contributed to Mafia being voted out. Nosy Parker is just wtfisthisrolefor.
Since I'm at it, just some brief thoughts about the other roles: Professional's job description seems to be contradictory. " The Professional wins the game by killing those he see's as not benefiting society which are the Informant, Vigilante and Joker roles"
How are Informant and Vigilante not benefiting society if they're on Citizen side? Regardless, my stand is they're both not beneficial to society anyway unless they are linked (like in the first few rounds, where Informant can PM Vigilante)
Vigilante seems like a special Mafia I'm not quite sure what its purpose is. Detrimental to the game as shown in past 2 rounds too, with Doctor kills, etc. Doctor is amazing, if played well. Who can forget last round? Like 3 Doctor saves in a row or something? Lovers is an awesome role, not sure why it fell out of favour. Always interesting to have two secret allies, especially if they're on opposite teams. Survivor is fine. Leaving it there for the possibility of people pretending to be it is good, though rather pointless. Joker is one of my favourites, not just because I won with it, but because of its very nature. Arsonist seems to be just thrown in for more 'active' roles as I've mentioned, but not well-designed. Maybe we just haven't had a good enough player play it, but it seems just odd.
I don't know how it well it will sit with Benji (he'll probably be against it), but I wouldn't mind redesigning the game abit to have much more variety and more action going on and make the game more interesting. I could run the game for that round (and a few) to stabilize it too.
