That role was pretty cool. It's a shame that not all of the challenges were made public events. It would have been fun to watch some of the others play out.

As for me, I think my favorite game mechanic changes from time to time. Way back in the day, secret roles and decoding them was really cool. Secret text popped up for at least one role a game for a while. I liked it so much that I took it to the extreme and based a whole game around it.

Originality and creativity are always appreciated, though game themes don't have to be original. Games based on pop culture items (movies, TV shows, etc.) can be just as fun so long as the host approaches the subject matter in creative or original ways.

I myself have always admired the people who create new and fascinating roles/powers. My strength is more in storytelling than role creation, so I always feel like I have to make up for fairly standard role powers through long lynch and night posts. I'm intimidated by the sheer creative prowess some of you possess. I think it's good though to have a few mega-awesome overachievers around because it nudges the rest of us schleps forward by making us try harder.
