DARKLING [Concluded]

[Visor]

Don't think that a non murdering mafia is weak when they have those powers that they have. Confusion and misdirection are one of the most powerful abilities in a game. ANd this certainly evened the scales for the mafia.

I enjoyed the setting. I liked the mechanics as well, and I believe the game was balanced. Edse, Monty both dug their own graves, and so did Diana but I forget to fill it. Also the lack of reveals helped the mafia too in my opinion.

Adding onto what I have said and others, the powers of confusion and misdirection and the feeling of the game and the writing may have overwhelmed some players/people, causing them to vote randomly as they couldn't interpret certain things. Certainly I ended up just ignoring the red names and on the final day I focused on text analysis, and caught Diana. But before that I just threw my hands in the air. I didn't have time to review things.

+1 for Zack

[DaveShack]

Turns out I was right to be skeptical about the red names being cleared. But not skeptical enough to use the revenge kill on one of them. And I almost got myself lynched by forgetting to put my name on the list, will have to remember that for the future. At least we called the "posession vote" thing right.

In retrospect, Diana wasn't trying hard enough to make cases to be a townie, but hindsight is usually like that.

So the darklings could say "use A's ability against B"? That's a pretty cool mechanic.

Very similar to the mafia role "Bus driver", a forced redirect. Not unheard of in mafia and as I've argued before, extremely powerful if used correctly.

[Visor]

I'll second that. I had a mafia kill himself via a bus driver.

[Diana Abnoba]

I was planning that on DaveShack, but you guys lynched him 1st.

[edse]

And why did you guys lynch DaveShack? Double A voted him because he was the other uninfected but Visorslash and atheotes just voted without reasoning. I believed that he might have told you that he was used for the kills and wanted to get lynched.
