Analysis

Alright, I'll try to give my take on the game.

I thought this was a pretty good game of mafia, albeit a little quick. What I felt that town should have done was allow for deeper analysis, instead of just jumping onto the bandwagon and lynching whoever other people voted.

Although, I'll let that one slide because you guys are new to the game. The lesson to be learned here is: trust no one. Don't trust other people's analysis or votes, as those can easily be biased. As a mafia player, you must give your own analysis and decide who is mafia or not, instead of simply following others leads.

Also, congratulations to mafia for taking the risk and counter claiming the cop. However, Kyro, I felt that you should not have claimed at all. Kyro, you are a good player, and I think you need to work on your fake claiming. Although cop, you should not have claimed that role. When pressured, you should have claimed vanilla instead, as there are plenty of vanilla roles, and it is more likely that you would be a vanilla rather than cop. If you claimed vanilla, no one would have suspected you. Lesson to be learned here is: don't claim powerful roles on DP1.

Although, even if this did happen, and Airmax counterclaimed the cop, town was too quick to assume that kyro was the one lying, not Airmax. This DP did not have a time limit, and you guys had time to talk this out and discuss it. Lesson to be learned here is: don't rush lynches. Talk things out with your fellow players to decide on the best course of action.

Also, I noticed how a lot of the players were not as active as others. The key rule to mafia is to be active. Not only do you get replaced if you are inactive, it looks scummy if you don't talk, like you're hiding something. This is a beginner game, so all of you are new players. Your take, your opinion is valued and it really adds additional analysis into the game, which is always valued. Don't be afraid of standing up for your opinions and arguing against others.

Good game of mafia, guys. I hope you all learned something and this game sparked your interest in mafia. I was really impressed at the speed at which all of you understood the game and how you guys understood and used the lingo right away. I guess the mentoring really helps.

All of this feedback was my take on the game. I, myself, am a fairly new player, and as a result, you don't need to follow my advice if you don't want to.

1st Annual Drafter Awards:

Continuing the tradition of Drafterman, I would like to hand out some Drafter awards for outstanding performance.

Most Valuable Newb award goes to Airmax for mafia, and Thett3 for town.

Airmax volunteered himself to counterclaim the cop, although knowing he would die very soon. This took bravery, and skill. This counterclaim was what led the mafia to kill the real cop and lead them to victory. Congratulations.

Thett3, although did not do anything outstanding, provided analysis and really got the hang of the game really quick. Thett was able to understand the situation and provide very good analysis that was useful to town, although, this really fell on deaf ears as no one, probably because you were new to the game, really read or understood the analysis. Congratulations.

Also, I don't remember, but someone in town suspected TUF. Good job to that person.

Furthermore, I feel that I should mention Fubar. Fubar, you are a good player, and don't give up because you led the town to a mislynch against two townies. Mafia needs players who can lead and persuade the opinions of others. So you had an unlucky game. So what? There are always more games, and I'm sure you are a great mafia player. For that, Fubar gets the Lucky at cards, Unlucky at mafia award.

I don't have the space to list out every player, but I must stress, you all did a great job. You really suprised me with the speed you understood the game and how to play. With that, congratulations to everyone. You guys were much better than me at my first game.

Conclusion:

With Round 1 done, let's move onto round two. If anyone does not like mafia, and would like to drop out, please comment below. Although, I hope you will stay, because mafia is a great and fun game. Don't be discouraged by this one game. Keep playing, and you'll get better. We were all newbs once.

I'll be sending out the role PMs for round 2 in a bit, most likely tomorrow.The topic for next round is:

Introduction to Roles – a semi-Open setup where every player gets a role. This teaches new players how to use roles, what roles to expect to see in games, and how those roles interact with each other.

This means more roles, more abilities, more fun! Be sure to stay.

With that said, great game, and let's play another.

Hobey ho, let's go.

Hobey ho....
Is that a Pendragon reference...?

Nice game guys, even though I did ABSOLUTLY NOTHING!!!

You should have made more effort to prevent your lynch.

What could I have done really?

Contra was an IDOIT and voted for me, FUBAR was an idiot and voted for me......then the Mafs hammered.

Excuse me, but go fvck yourself.

Tell me, on what grounds were you trying to lynch me?

You were flip-flopping around like a fish out of water and your posts were fluffy as fairy floss so you were the most suspicious to me.
I mean, I was pressuring you and did think you were scummy but I didn't expect to turn around for 10 minutes and see you lynched.
Don't call me an idiot simply because I made a mistake. That's the nature of the game.

There should be a Most Unfairly Lynched On No Ground Whatsoever Fubar I'm Looking At You Award.

Not sure who would qualify.......

I'm just gonna post a extremely brief analysis.

Day 1: Really, guys? Never lynch day phase one, unless some one is really acting scummy. And neither of the cop claims were acting scummy enough for a lynch. Definite applause for airmax fake claiming cop, and getting the actual cop (Kyro) lynched. Things really started going down hill for town from here, since maf got the doc NP1.

Day 2: I don't really have an analysis. We all lynched the confirmed scum, but it took FAR longer than it should have.

Day 3: Town did pretty good in reading others, but really Ober didn't really do anything scummy. And you guys should have realized that there were two maf, so by two townies on another player, you practically let the maf lynch the townie.

Well, I get it, and I'm not holding grudges, that's a horrible idea on here.

Good game guys. Mafia played great. Funny thing is I told Airmax in the mafia PM not to counterclaim cop because I didn't expect town to fall for it and lynch the real cop. But he played the part brilliantly. Zaradi played great and did not attract suspicion at all.

I think mafia was a bit lucky too killing the doc NP1. Also, the cop happenned to be pressured first DP1.

One piece of advice I would give the town is that when you are at MYLO (mislynch and lose), don't vote for anyone as mafia can hammer.

Also, I don't remember, but someone in town suspected TUF. Good job to that person.

That was me :D

Wow, really.

Not bad, then. Seems your scum reads aren't too bad, after all.

Try to be more active, though.

Wait, I'll get back to you on that. The game is actually full right now, but I might be able to expand the game size a little bit.
