[LoM] Aftermath

[Kaden]

Pretty crappy logic where I pinpointed both you and Vad on day four? Yeah, that logic was totes sucky. It's not about just the vote order, it was piecing together voting patterns and forum behavior, and I didn't reveal every hint I encountered. It's all a big puzzle to solve. I'm like the Professor Layton of mafia, bitches.

Pfft. You mean like I did in the past two mafia games? Mhmm.

*pops collar*

Anyway, yeah, the townies had some ridiculous luck, which started with Mafia not lynching anyone. Continued to Josh getting revealed/killed, moved on to Rose offing Kami (suspicion or not, at that point in the game its about 75% guess, you know it) and peaked with Mal investigating Meer the exact same night he gets to use his power (Apparently he tried to use it the night before, but Amumu stopped him, so we'll throw in some luck there, too).

Some feedback on the game itself. Karthus: way too broken. The rationale that he could die early and not be as effective is not good enough. There should not be a single power that, at any point in the game, can kill off an entire faction in one day. The ability to be killed and still sit around casting votes, while not contributing to the number of votes needed for a lynch, is great on its own.

The town needs either fewer investigative powers or fewer protection powers. I think the kill powers were ok, though I wouldn't have given Cho more than one charge, since Soraka was in the game. I know Doe has been pretty outspoken about how overpowered he thinks the Sheriff role is and it's understandable. I thought Warwick's power was very balanced, but I wouldn't have given it to the town with TF already on the team. Combine that with the number of powers that self-reveal and the information starts piling up real quickly in the town's favor.

Things probably would have gone differently if the mafia had actually been paying attention. Not getting that first kill, for example. Kami could have played a big role if he had been using his Urgot power each night. All-in-all, though, I think the game was very entertaining and I liked the flavor that each role brought to the game.
