Please Help a New Mod Make a Better Mafia Game

[loganspeedo]

Hello and good day all. I just finished my first mafia game where I was a moderator and I'm looking for a good critique. What did I do wrong? What did I do right? What did I improve upon mid-game? How many licks DOES it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?

Monty Python and the Holy Grail Mafia (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=222431)

I enjoyed the experience although I wish the people who were supposed to PM me would have more often. I'm planning on running another mafia game: Mystery Science Theater 3000 Mafia: The Movies Pick Back and I want to improve as I go forward. Please help me be a better mod.

Actually for a beginner I think you did a very good job in the game especially regarding balance. And this from a guy who those first thoughts of the game was he wants to give the serial killer a DISADVANTAGE???

That was your FIRST game? I thought you were spot on in making it feel like the original movie.

One question about the alternate early win: if any of the Knights who say NI were killed/lynched, would it have been possible for them to still win?

I'd love to look the thing over, but right now, I just don't have the time. Maybe if I get around to it.

Like the Green Knight, whose alt win condition was taken out by chance on Night Zero, anyone whose alt win condition was unfullable would have won with either the town or mafia depending. (mostly town.)

I really enjoyed my role as Zoot of Castle Anthrax and thought you did a good job of modding the game. My only regret was getting taken out so early, but that was not your doing so all's well! Congrats on your first mafia! I'll be there for MST3K!!

One thing: I really like it when the write-ups are purposely vague about characters. You shouldn't be able to say "Oh! Cyclops roleblocked Mr. Sinister last night, and now whoever is Cyclops should just tell us who Mr. Sinister is..."

Leave the do-er of the action guessing as to whether/where he showed up in the writeup.


Also, to get PMs in time, introduce random modkills if they are tardy more than once ;)

Thank for your suggestions, I'm still open for critique.
