Guys, that's what co-hosts are here for? Our team's doing surprising well this soccer season swamped me with extra work, and I just couldn't afford the time it took to host. To my knowledge, the game didn't (and shouldn't have) suffered because Bunny had to take over. If it did, my apologies.
Anyways, game obviously didn't play out like I intended, seeing as 3/4 of a single mafia team were found out by d1 or something? Also, if anyone's curious, The Nasty was separated 2/3, while The Notorious was fully united. Before you ask, I don't know what they were thinking either.
Also, the lynch redirect was intended to be a sure-fire way to kill off a village leader, which it didn't end up being.
In all honesty, I thought we had screwed the village over in the beginning. A one-time separated vig, an extremely powerful wolf, and all evil factions had the ability to kill every night. We ended up giving the village an extra BG, but still, the lack of effort/effectiveness of mafias attempting to mole the village was disappointing. In my opinion, the village didn't win this for themselves, the mafia lost it. Also, I'd like to point out that we gave every single mafia player a safeclaim for a name and gave The Nasty four role safeclaims, as well as giving The Notorious three role safeclaims. The goal here was to maximize how much the game would be determined by skill, rather than luck, and while I wasn't around for much of the later game, the mafia seemed apathetic.
The notable exception is purplefingers. His faction was largely eliminated, but apparently he slipped under the radar for a while, until inspected. Nice job dude.
StevenSnype, the wolf, played well and had a very effective spreadsheet, but got screwed over by bad luck and nametargetting :/. I think he pulled off one kill maybe?
Anyways, as critical as most of these paragraphs are, I'm glad everyone played, and I'd definitely do it again, if I had the time. Not trying to pick on any particular team or person. Most people played like I expected, and it's a Beginner's Mafia, so don't freak out if you think you did poorly.
Feel free to complain about balance. In hindsight, I don't think it was balanced perfectly, but I definitely don't think the village should've stomped the mafias this badly.
