Let me also add my thoughts %)
In my opinion, this Mafia game was really great – even the theme itself seemed very unusual and genuinely interesting to me. I personally enjoy these simple concepts that are understandable to all players, because sometimes Mafia games based on obscure lore become difficult to follow simply because you're not familiar with it.
Also, I want to highlight that ToX did a great job; his updates were really fun to read. Of course, this isn't the most important characteristic of a GM, but for me, it definitely increases my interest in the game %)
Regarding the reveals and roles – I personally tried to convey information, but not in a direct way.
For example, when I wrote that *username* = Mafia, what prevented the Mafia from writing the same about me or simply finding errors in my words?
Besides, there were a lot of mistakes (the fact that I missed the message about displaying the block ruined my entire table :( ), so the Mafia could have easily turned the situation in their favor and executed me – I'm sure even the town would have supported them %)
I would also like to clarify the rules regarding *reveals*. I personally don't quite understand why I can't give hints about my role – everyone can see them, not just the town, right?
For example, if I revealed myself as a more useful role, that would be good for the Mafia too; they could identify who is who. Or, I could reveal myself as the same role, take the place of a town member, and, again, get myself kicked out.
I understand that direct hints about my role are too much, but how else can I find out any information?
Personally, in this game, it was done more out of desperation – only 3-4 people were actively participating in the discussion, there was almost no information, so we had to accuse each other.
I think the Mafia game was successful; the only downside is the inactivity of the Mafia members themselves. I think if they had been at least a little more active, they could have turned everything upside down (it seems like I, the Cop, and Master were ready to execute each other at any opportunity).
ToX did a great job running the game, and it would be great if this marked the beginning of a new era for Mafia %)
