Actually, forming blocks may help catch out a mafia that tried to join. With 16 teams there is clearly one village supporter per team, and not enough remaining spots for there to be a mafia per team (and even if there were 32 players that'd be quite unbalanced). So, if a mafia tried to join a block, claiming to want team X to win, and a villager tried to join the block, we could instantly know that one of 2 people are mafia (rather than the usual 1 in 5 shot).
I'm not saying do a role call. No one would be forced to join a block. A mafia trying to infiltrate a block would have to risk being outed by choosing the same team as another member. It's no different that a mafia trying to infiltrate a network using a role name and having someone in the network already having that role name.
Let's say I come up to you and say, hey, I'd really like Poland to win, and you say, okay, I'd really like Ukraine to win. Let's work together to get both teams in, hooray!
Now, let's say Bedlam comes up to you and says, hey, I'd really like Poland to win.
Uh oh! Two people rooting for Poland? One of us is mafia.

How do we know support of the teams is equally distributed?

Well then lets test out this logic because I am from Germany and by the looks of it:
Is there really only one supporter from each team? Something about this isn't adding up to me, but it's better to test the theory with my day 1 vote than throw it randomly like I normally would.
I think the country affiliation is tricky, because there is most likely a country affiliation for every player that isn't mafia. That's more than 16.
Not to mention, a person supporting a team does not mean that they are affiliated with that team. They might just be trying to make money off of the game.

What I need here is a nice green sweater to keep me warm, and maybe a I should get a shamrock put on there for good luck.
Buy tickets to the Croatia/Ireland game and an one Ireland Hockey Jersey. Romanquerty has made my day-one vote decision really easy. He is a lout who is trying to pick a fight with me, and everyone knows that hockey fights take place on the ice, not in the stands!

Some teams would have to have more than one. Weather or not they can both be village is another matter entirely. I figured if one of us is going to be mafia, it defiently isnt me.
And Fan-shops have popped up all over Warsaw, Wroclaw, Kharkiv, Lviv, Gdansk, Poznan, Donetsk, and Kyiv. You may now purchase things for games!
Fan Shop
Vuvuzela €250 - You can use this to distract the opposing team. Keep in mind, vuvuzelas are banned! Team shirt €100 - Whichever team has the most shirts in the crowd gets pumped up! You may only own one of each team. Match programme €50 - Of course everyone knows about their own team, but after your quick read, you know who in the opponent’s team to most fear. You can boo them whenever they get the ball. Pies €100 - You fat bastard! You can eat this to remain in good voice for as long as the match lasts. Your fervent chanting keeps your team going. If a match goes to extra time, they suffer no fatigue penalties. This must be used the same day it is bought (pies don’t stay good forever!) Night at the pub €200 - You take out a player to the pub after the match. However, you may have ‘accidentally’ given them too much. Match Ball Replica €500 - You have a perfect replica of a match ball. Maybe you could sneak it into a match. Match Ticket €100 - You can attend any number of matches that you buy tickets for. You must have a ticket for a match in order to use items or powers at it. Each match only has 10 tickets, get them while they’re hot! You may buy as many as you like. You must indicate which match you are buying this for at time of purchase. Euro 2012 Final Ticket €1000 - You can attend the final! This allows you to use any other items or powers you have. This match only has 5 tickets, you may buy as many as you like.
Any item (except Night at the pub) may be sold to another player at any price that both agree on.
(so I know a few of you might have seen the full effects of these items, but honestly most of it is just numbers specific to the effects, hopefully the gist of what they do is still evident.)
Remember - Bets are private, but Fan Shop purchases are public to the thread.
Well, I was going to grudge Vertroue, but now that just feels silly. Jackisreal because vuvuzelas are bad and mafia are bad and so probably they buy vuvuzelas.
