RaMafia Special - The End

[Apocalipsis]

But how, I don't understand how this would function, If people don't want to send pms, they simply don't. And without talking outside of thread, mafia will know anything town knows and nobody can surprise mafia like this. I don't know whether you played vanilla mafia games with such rule before but I cannot see town winning without private talks.

That's why when you first approached me privately, I told you that I didn't want to give information away, because you could have a mole in your network. And you had one, and all the information people confided you ended up with the Mafias, even before you made it public. Town won only because Amadis slipped.

You never played a vainilla game where citizens only played in the thread? o.o
I played 10 games at least, and I only remember 3 that include massive role-revealing (including the last two games).

And you know, Afaik only Jernemies and Ariel pm'ed their roles and Ariel: We suspected he was mafia until the end of the game. Jernemies: Fake abilities and we thought he was townie whole game.

Amadis 100% townie(only you and ariel suspecting him) And fake passive. So, That pm part didn't help us breaking uncertainities that much.

I was only able to get powerlist from MangaD in private thanks to EF telling me he was Governor. But apart from that, It didn't change that much in the game.

Ah also there is MangaD, told A-Man that he was the GodFather:D

And uncertainity was never gone until Darl revealed everything, Amadis and Jernemies and Ariel. Also Pf. Jernemies blocked Aman last night from copying powers of tornado. So, game could end with even mafia's victory, since we were trusting anything amadis told us and jernemies on the safehouse.

There was no uncertainty about which role each player had. There was still some uncertainty regarding abilities and alignments, because those were not revealed from the start... something I didn't like.

And I don't think that Town had the game won. Actually, after the Paramedic's death, Mafia had the upper hand. They could start killing the Town's most valuable players one by one, starting with [Rhino and then] A-Man, or Ariel (if he were to be still alive, since you wanted to lynch him). Ariel was key here, because even though his death would make Amadis suspicious, he was the only citizen capable of checking abilities. Without him, after Klodasmone's death, you would have started to lynch people who didn't have "100%" in your table, and that wouldn't have included Jernemies (maybe not even Amadis), the remaining mafias. Consecutive lynching of citizens and steady Mafia kills usually don't end well for the Town.

I'm sure abilities of mafia and civilians are not meant to be balanced.

I never said otherwise.

The fact that abilities weren't revealed from the start made things more exciting. Though maybe if abilities are revealed but alignments aren't, it may work out well.

It didn't make things more exciting to me. Everything felt too random, as everyone could claim to have any fake abilities they wanted and we would have required a checker (Ariel, specifically) to prove them wrong (or right).

The mafia would have the great edge also when every single plan civilians come up with is devised in this thread.

That's the whole point of the game, in my opinion. And that's how the game is usually played at webpages exclusively dedicated to this game:

Heck, some places even have hidden threads for Mafias to speak, so everyone can see how they planned the whole thing once the game ends.

Edit:
In case anyone is wondering what that 3rd faction is, check the "Cult" described in this page:

Let me quote something from that article: "Cults have been criticized for being very hard to balance". So yeah, it was an overkill in this game with so many abilities. But it was smart to diminish Monk's power by making his active ability available only on odd nights.
