Plus, my personal feeling is that rolehinting in this game was quite leniently supervised, which obviously didn't work in Mafia's favor, in absence of closed setup and/or counterfeit roles to claim as. Not that circumventing the claim rule is uncommon, via subtle hints and such, still midway through the game everyone was discussing openly who they are or think others are. Easy to get the mafia stuck on their chessboard spots, this way.
I'm a fan of safeclaims because you don't have to worry about this.
I admit, that means that leads to a different dynamic at times because people can become "confirmed" rather early.
Jack- everyone I could have meaningfully voted the day I lynched you was town. I was right to be conflicted. But your lynch turned out to be the most productive, and I couldn't lynch rico when he was overtly claiming Erika. The thing that put me over the edge on you was your vehement defence of rico... I thought you were claiming josie then backing off it when I pressed.
I have found that some of the most difficult roles to balance with minimal hosting experience are independent roles. To project how those will play out without seeing prior examples from the host perch can be a tough task, and all things considered I think things turned out well enough here. In my very first hosting experience, I had to restart an entire game after 700 posts had already been made because I overpowered my indy roles.
You did well, niju. Especially for a game with two mafia teams, I think things ran as smoothly as can reasonably be asked. The experience will surely influence future attempts anyhow.

Man, why do we keep tying up votes? IIRC, more than half of the votes in this game and Pokemon were tied at EOD. That's such a weird meta thing. Don't we want to take control of lynches? Seems like there were lots of votes made specifically to tie things up. I get that we were hunting Marcus but still.

Indeed - I have learned a hell of a lot from this game, what works and what doesn't, and I'm sure I'll make more grand games and errors in the future

I thought speedchuck's performance as an evildoer was top notch. I had him pegged as a civilian the whole time.
Thanks! That's a scumtell for me, btw. Or, at least, I feel like it is.

It took me forever to balance the Arsonist independent in. Phenon, I understand completely

Now this I can't argue with and I can argue that all of that is my fault.
1) I did not re-check the roles and ensure I was not hinting (leaning on not hinting at all with these rules but it doesn't change that I needed to watch out)
2) I didn't push on Epi when he was honestly a bigger suspect to me than INH.
