Shucks.

I haven't felt this excited in a long time!

Glad to see this actually develop into a real submission! This actually seems even cooler now that you've developed the roles. I love that Fedora is a role and the indie kills me.

I think the balance is pretty solid, based on what I can tell after first readthrough. I am only slightly concerned the civvies might be at a disadvantage dealing with a baddie team of four and a rogue recruiter that only seems to be able to recruit them, but perhaps that concern is unfounded.

Thanks! I may juice up the civs a bit. Some of the secret abilities are rather powerful, so that might help.

No problem!

You might even be fine; it's tough to tell for sure since I'm unaware of the secrets. It might indeed help and balance it perfectly. I just notice that especially in speed games where single mafia teams tend to be prevalent that the mafia have more of an advantage in numbers much more than they normally would in a full game setting where they have to compete with typically at least one other team (and logically so).

That said, your numbers work out OK. You likely might not even need to tweak anything. I'd love to play regardless!

Orly?

Felt like you might be talking from personal experience there...

You've given me a lot to think about, so that's always appreciated!! I have nothing but time to think about it since we have so many lovely submissions already in queue, so I may/not end up dropping a hat.

linki - Hee hee

Lol, very funny.

Ugh now facebook and gmail keep showing me ads for random types of felt products.

That's better than baby bottles, toys, clothes, strollers. Ugh...just so much better. Of course maybe it could help give you a few ideas for new characters.

Ich bin sehr aufgeregt. Oh nein! Herr Beuys erwischte mich vor das Spiel noch anstarrte.

I must say, reading through this makes for an....

...interesting thread.
