Me from the wolf topic:

I'd like to take this moment and say that clues are total bullshit since in the first Pokemon Mafia when I was ControllerOfFlames the first clue could be google searched and turned up as the fire energy card.

I was boned.

______________

Therefore I am quite apprehensive to the idea. It is horribly slanted towards the mafia groups and there needs to be some sort of way to have a clue interpreted in multiple ways. Also the dispensing of clues seems rather trivial and there is no way to be certain if the host is just dropping obvious clues because they want someone killed.

If there was one role in a game where a clue could be dropped if this "Cluemaster" could predict the person being killed and have that clue broadcast it would add a more strategic part to the game. The way I see a host would need 2 or 3 clues for each person that isn't immediately ruined by a fucking google images search.

If it was an anonymous mafia on another forums then the clues could be well planned out before sign-ups, which would make an easier approval for the mods since they'll know if the clues aren't a load of crap.
