Overall though, the basic design seemed to work. The mafia being incapable of killing was what really ruined it.
If Cevno had levelled me up, we could have won the game together. A bit hard to request that when my ability was gonna be useless to town in a 5/4/3 player remaining scenario. Here's my Mafia ability. Get up to Level 3 and I would have been a winner, I think.
I did level you up IIRC. Anyway, i was screwed either way unless Skippos' night killed failed. It had 60% chance of succeeding, while his investigative ability had something like 45%. Both worked for him.
Cevno's ability kind of screwed him over a bit on the last night. That said, he threw the game when he killed Yates so early.
Skippos would have killed me anyway, in the night. If i killed Skippos then Arheiner would have. Was there a better option ?
The only way i had a chance, was Skippos' kill attempt failing and then forcing a lynch on him as Mage when there were 3 left. Might have played it slightly differently if i knew Heef's ability exactly but Was a really tough win condition, unless Psion got killed early or missed his ability. Skippos getting his late order in, and succeeding with 45% chance kind of screwed me up too. Think I would have won if i went on undetected 1 more day.
This was actually an interesting concept imo. Just so hard to figure out how everything worked. Maybe a second game like this might go better.
