Oh yeah, before I go to sleep please point out if I missed anyone I had several problems trying to post this which is why my other mafia posts in other threads were not well constructed

This game was odd

yeah it was... uhhh for those who care me posting the night actions ect. will be delayed till next week probably.

just thought I'd also say that Scum ie So and Mikey-2 were the winning faction.

also, just thought I'd let you know darth there was a good reason your power was so elusive and hard to figure out was because it was basically a win once you figured it out.

OH YEAH! Finally I can boast about this! It's been a long two-and-a-half years ...

I seem to recall enjoying this game at the time, particularly trying to regain control after being investigated 50/50. I also reread this recently (and started hounding Rewind again - you're welcome); without the delays of real time I found it rather interesting.

I assume Reverse shot me with the gun? I'm glad Mikey respawning as scum was an actual part of my ability, and not just something Rewind threw in for the hell of it.

So what was a dreamer? I'm also looking forward to the actions list (such as you can remember it).

I think this game was fairly balanced. My role was pretty powerful, but being alone and only being investigated 50/50 (rather than the 100% I assumed); and up against a bunch of Townies all with solid roles seems fair.

The death abilities were cool in hindsight, and it's a shame the Registrar never did anything, because they were a key mechanic.

What was the overall plan for the story parts? I think on the whole they distracted the players who were really here to play Mafia, not solve puzzles. The setup and flavour actually looks solid to me, but the forced story elements overshadowed the game at times.

Thanks for finally getting this result up!
