So, I am still updating the "Mafia Roles and Discussion" thread. Since it is important for balancing the game, please post your observations and suggestions there so we can adjust a few things for future games.
Because... I think we were too many BO this round. But on the same time any less of us and we would have lost...
So somehow we have to find a way to strengthen the BO roles even more - or rather: weaken the town roles a bit - to allow games with a lower number of BO. Because I think it is more fun if the games are not decided by day 2 already in the future...

I agree. Last round there were 15 players, so 1/3 of that was 5 BO. But I kept thinking, "That's too many." But then I thought about 4 BO and I kept thinking "That's not enough."

So... 4.5?  Haha that would be interesting.

Maybe if we would have had a Kir or something. But especially since 2 of them were lovers, I thought they deserved 5 in the end. (But then conia ended up getting chosen for the "real role" in the first night's dream. I applaud the BO for dodging that.  )

I do think I'll be able to play, but if people prefer it that I only put on my name when I'm 100% sure then just take it away. I'm a bit said that I broke my streak of always being on the spot two in the list though.

I knew it was between Conia and Holmes as the real role.
And I voted for Conia that day. D:<
If only people followed me, instead of lynching xpon.

Bu lynching xpon allowed us to make sure that you were Sonoko.

I even PM'ed someone and told them I thought you were BO.
But this was my first time playing, so I made a few mistakes on trusting certain people.

And my role was pretty crappy...

I know that feeling of trusting someone and getting disappointed afterwards... A tip for the future: Don't trust Kleene. 

I guess there are better roles than Sonoko out there, especially when losing the BFF during day 1...
But sometimes she and her partner are all it takes to win the game quickly. xpons strategy was pretty risky and backfired, but that could happen to pretty much every role.

Sonoko is good in case your friend dies at night (and isn't lynched xD)

Btw pofa, were there hints in your dreams and your other posts? I couldn't see/solve any D:

Schillok is banned by default.....
Hmm.... maybe I'll make him Goro-chan instead >D

Not too many. I was having trouble deciding what was fair to the BO and what wasn't. I tried to point you toward there being another Araide when Kain died by having her (the dead doctor) be competently bandaged up, but I admit that wasn't much. Also when Akonyl died, the "do you think he knew anything" was me lol'ing about him accusing Ctu of being a sniper, like, two seconds after the roles were passed out.

The more major hints were in the dreams, but not entirely contained within the dreams. Many of the townies with night actions will remember that rather than just giving you your results, I created scenes for your characters in which you acted out your investigations, interrogations, etc. On Night 1, I made sure to include in each of those scenes (except Commi-Ninja's, because she got the dream) the fact that it was raining hard that night. In Commi-Ninja's dream, conia (Anokata) was dressed in a raincoat--because he'd been out in it. I didn't do it the second night because the BO got the dream, but on Night 3 the townies got scenes in which they sensed that the "body language" of an unnamed fellow townie was suspicious. In Kleene's dream, Schillok was describing symptoms to a nurse and kept shouting out the names of body parts. Just slight things like that, and you would have had to be in contact with the right people, but you might have noticed them.

I really wanted to hang someone with bandages, or have Kid be holding up two fingers or something, but I thought that would be too much.

Also, I never got any instructions/messages/gory details from the BO, so I made up everything myself, and that made me more hesitant about hints...If I screw it up for them, I feel guilty. If they leave a tape and it goes bad, it's their own fault. XD

I accused ctu of being a sniper?
*goes back and checks*
guess I did, I'm just that awesome.

I did notice your whole "kid's body was mockingly bandaged up after death" thing, but that's just because I knew vermouth-araide was in the game.

and that's a neat thing to do with night abilities. I did scenes for night abilities back in game 1, but I didn't include any hints in them (and later I stopped as the game got more players and roles etc). Although now, including hints in dreams will be a little more dangerous for the GM because people might be looking out for them more.
