Assuran's way of presenting the microphalla as proof of his innocence strikes me as mildly suspicious. The only reason I'm not voting for him today is that I'm curious to see what, if anything, comes out of the microphalla.
YOUR POSTS ARE INCREASINGLY INCOHERENT AND DEVOID OF MESSAGE. YOU MUST BE ROLEPLAYING. WHAT A TRAGEDY.
MAFIA ABILITIES ARE CHOSEN WITH CARE, WHEN YOUR NAME ISN'T ASSURAN OR TRV, BECAUSE IT'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF GAME BALANCE. GIVING THE MAFIA AN ABILITY WHICH IS GOING TO EITHER A) OUT THEM ALL IF THEY COORDINATE USE OF IT TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES PRIMARILY OR BENEFIT A WHOLE LOT OF VILLAGES MOST LIKELY IS RETARDED.
You say that as if you expect modern phallas to be balanced.
Based on the OP, powers are tied to roles, and roles are randomized. Then, the mafia roles are randomized amongst them. It could be possible that the mafia has no powers and they have to make due with whatever player role power they have, or an alternative is that they have player role powers and mafia role powers together.
IF THE PHALLA WAS INDEED "BALANCED" ALONG THOSE LINES I WOULD FORFEIT MY CAPACITY TO GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME, HONESTLY.
It is actually Infidel-style, soooooo.
See Mario Kart, League of Legends, etc.
It is the way to prevent rolecalls, which people legitimately have a problem with. Not the RANDOM BULLSHIT ARHGGHGHGHGH complaint of yours.
You're saying that the broken ability to prove yourself in the middle of day 1 is obviously the situation over "roles are random" as precedented by other games and seemingly indicated in the very OP because... you don't like it?

I'M OBJECTING TO THE NOTION OF MAFIOSO AND VILLAGER POWER SETS BEING TOTALLY RANDOMIZED, NOT TO THE NOTION OF PREVENTING ROLE CALLS.

And as I just explained, this is Infidel-style and seemingly the style of this game. I am explicitly talking about powers being randomed to the mafia.
Plus you could always make all the crazy roles and assign a few folks to 'traditional' roles. You can randomize the crazies, and then put the traditional roles in places that helps balance the game.

It seems entirely possible that all the roles are completely randomized. I would think that there would be some semblance of balance. Not sure how you achieve that with completely randomized roles. So maybe it's not balanced at all. That could be interesting. We'll need more information to find out what is going on. Day 1 deaths usually help with that.
Ebum said specifically that things could be a bit unbalanced. My best guess is that the roles are semi-randomized. There's a few roles that are definitely village, a few that are definitely mafia, maybe a few that are definitely neutral, and the rest are randomized into those three groups.
Well it's difficult to balance 50 unique roles. The game can swing either way every day. As long as there are no glaring issues (impossibility to win/lose etc) it's good enough to enjoy the game and make do with what you're given!
Not every role has an actual power, either. I don't think metagame analysis is going to generate terribly productive results here, mainly because the only people who know what they did are the hosts and whoever advised on the project. Of course, it's still Day 1, etc. etc. I guess we could keep going on about this until vote close and see if we can get Fiaryn's rageboner so swole he explodes.
It'd be trivial for the host to create seemingly randomized roles, yet make sure the mafia doesn't become too strong or too weak. Complex Phallas can easily get otherwise unbalanced though, because the host can't possibly take into account every possible combination of events. I think the main point of the discussion is that any one player's role isn't going to help us determine whether they are mafia or not. Not at this point in the game anyway.

It bears investigating.

A self confirm role on day one seems more imbalanced than what random roles might do.
It's like the change from pokemon yellow to emerald green
That's how i would approach it, at least.

Who doesn't?
The mafia, that's who.
What's new, guys?
besides, agree langly and noone can explain
banter and languid argumentation, not candid evaluation
Pff. Possessing an inordinately oversized vocabulary? Stereotypical antagonist motion!
