[brandenharvey]

Level One: You are a town Necrophiliac. If you are watched or tracked, you will come up as targeting dead players. You win with the town.

Stephan Hart: You are a town Cop. You can investigate one player during each night phase. You win with the town.

Mod Note: He’s insane.

So, what did you guys think of my game? Be honest. Those that know me know I can take critisism. I'd like to improve my mod skills before Office Supply Mafia.

[Johnny Rebel]

I enjoyed it. I'm slowly getting the hang of this Mafia thing. I've never played on a forum until a few games ago and after playing in person, it's much more difficult to come up with a defense when you're online!

I enjoyed your game, Branden, but in the future I'd work a bit more on your story. The typical so-and-so was lynched gets boring after awhile. However, I was completely stumped with the framing aspect. Well done.

[Michael Jennings]

YES! How the hell Noble and I pulled this off I have no idea. I made up a fake PR/role and he got everyone to vote for JC. I'm shocked we pulled it off with Blade being modkilled. Overall I liked the game a lot and it was well run.

[C.J. Gates]

I hate getting killed early in these games...

I think you as a mod did fine. I don't know for sure but there could have been more prodding of some of the players to be more talkative, but that's just me. You said so yourself that one day, Harvey, activity fell off sharply when Lester got kidnapped, Jeff was away, and Mafia realized they didn't have to say much of anything because no one was around. I'd say that if you're looking to get activity as a high, then roles that counter that won't exactly work well for the game as a whole. The only other thing I noticed reading through the QT would be to make sure that the roles are detailed properly so that there's no confusion between you and players. But that's probably something that is a product of it being your first mod. But overall, I think the way you ran it was fine, though I'm a sucker for longer write ups...

As for the game itself...yet ANOTHER game where we couldn't win lol. Sucked being out on night 3 and continuing to follow, because I found myself wanting to bring about points but I couldn't lol.

Noble flew under the radar well and had a fair number convinced he was town (though, even if he was investigated he's have come up town). Ebirah got lucky, only because he kept getting the finger pointed at him by no one was laying down a vote.

I'd also recommended that in future games, people don't get so bent out of shape, though this is mainly pointed at Hart this game, it's a good tip for the future. You do no favors to the town to be that talkative/paranoid/desperate to live, because you give scum something to hide behind.

I agree. Have to remember this is just a game and not personal!

[Level-Two]

Gahh, if I had my choice I would have lynched Ebirah but I thought Noble was a Townie and that both Ebriah and JC were scum. The P/R post limit seemed sketchy to me but there was no way we'd get the votes to lynch Ebriah.

Good game guys. Branden, my feedback is pretty much what CJ gates said. He hit the nail right on the head. Thanks for hosting, Branden. Congrats to scum. BASTARDS.

[President Jeff]

It was a Fun Game Branden. Good job

PS guys, I'll have my mafia game sign up later tonight

[jc]

Good game, Harvey. Question... did I meet my win condition? i ask, because my win condition was for Sally to stay alive and she did.

[jc]

Oh, and since i just read the final write up...

SERIOUSLY, DUDE!!!??

Town probably had to win as well.

Fixed.

[SalTal]

That was a great game, Branden. It messed with a lot of heads. You look back, and everything that happened on that first day/night really set the tone and locked in a scum victory. *Especially* the mafia framing Hart and him also being investigated by Rebel. If that hadn't happened, things oculd have been different.

Well done to the scum! You had me fooled right up to the last moments of the game.

[Kurt]

That was a pretty fun first game for me. Got a little confusing at times, but never went too far. I pretty much thought we were out once Blade got modkilled and Ebirah looked like the likely target. I thinking playing as Mafia for my first game helped me get the hang of the way things typically go.

Really, I have no other games to base constructive criticism off, so I can really only agree with the consensus. Longer write-ups and more prodding to inactive people. It surprised me that JD lasted so long after never saying anything, but Blade didn't. But everything seemed pretty well run, and you answered any questions we had in the QT.

I'll definitely be playing more!

Everyone kept saying that in the game. But here's the thing. You only get prodded after being inactive for 24 hours. JD posted twice during day one. Once about every 24 hours. Day two, I prodded him after 24 hours and he posted again. Then he was lynched.
