we were pretty much over powered this game with 2 kills (1 being a vig), a roleblock, a busdriver and last but not least, my overpowered power that I never used.

I wish I could just say that I had never been in a game where the mafia had a busdriver, thus I have learned a vital lesson busdriver + vig = unblockable kill. But, then I remember that the FIRST PHALLA I EVER PLAYED had the mafia devastate the village by wiping out half of the specials in one night. Using an busdriven kill to eliminate the guarded network head. So, Hindsight... Yeah...
I think I worked the everything out pretty good otherwise. If Mordac had been a guard or something instead, I think the game would have been much more balanced.
On a pretty unrelated note, I'm a pretty big fan of even/odd roles. It spreads the love around a bit more and keeps the village from losing access to something important through dumb luck. The only one I'm iffy about making even/odd is the seer, since it takes a network longer to start.
But, thanks for playing everyone. I think this makes me 1/3 for successful games hosted.
Maybe I can go for 50/50 next time!
I've got an interesting idea for an Inception-verse mini that may come out sooner rather than later...
Thanks for the game capfalcon, dunadans power was a really nice and strange addition. Even if we never used it, just the potential was great.
As for even/odd abilities, in the White Collar phalla I managed to use two every other day seers who found each other to confirm 5 other people as village in one day when the network head. So they might be too strong, or I just got lucky.
It is a very nice way though to split up the vigilante so it can't be killed off easily.
Void Slayer on
He's a shy overambitious dog-catcher on the wrong side of the law. She's an orphaned psychic mercenary with the power to bend men's minds. They fight crime!
I would grudge CaptainPlanet for this, but then he revealed and wasn't guarded. So I guess I can't grudge him too hard. Even though he took away my first chance at really being the best SK I could be.

I'd like to try that game too. Inception is a most fascinating movie.
Or should I double block in case we don't trust Phil?

Hmm, I remembered wrong, the message where I promised to Darn was on 03-03-2011, 06:27 PM, I definitely remember issuing a darn order on the same day I promised, but saw no results in the narration. I had darned someone earlier that day, so it was a switchdarn, but CapFalcon told me it was ok to switch as long as I did it prior to the deadline. Can roleblocks intefere with each other?

:evil:
From what I understand, I was guarded by Wally but the mafia just used their busdriver to kill me.
In my opinion, the busdriver should NEVER be mafia and always be village. And if you are going to do that, they should only be able to move negative effects and not things like who the guard is targeting. Because it just made the guard 100% useless when they figured out to just combine the busdrive with a kill.

I'd say this was around -3 Farangus. Or is it 3 Capfalcons? I don't know!
All in all, this wasn't too bad, even if the mafia were way overpowered.

It was 0.5 Burnages.
Half a Burnage, damnit!
