My impressions of the game. Bad - I seem to have grown out of running Mafia games, because I slightly overestimated my abilities when creating this setting. What is displayed where, under what conditions things work or don't—it was all very difficult to keep in mind, and I'm still not sure if I messed up somewhere while drafting the newspapers. - Clues. I didn't bother with starting articles and planned to provide clues that were simple in length but complex in structure, like the first one, but quickly realized that no one was digging in that direction, so I had to return to "standard" ones. After that, I immediately faced the problem that there wasn't much to tie the clues to, so I had to put effort into creating some connection between them without making them too easy to guess. In practice, it turns out I overdid it with the difficulty, but maybe I'm just bad at clues.
Neutral - Regarding the criticism of the descriptions, despite everything said, I disagree. The only thing I think I added unnecessarily was Medjerson's gloomy expression when describing his isolation in the last newspaper. The word seemed appropriate at the time, and I missed the fact that it could be interpreted as a description of another action. Otherwise, I strictly followed the pre-set keywords; even with Peona's execution description, the first sentence reduced the number of roles to two, and the second hinted at a specific role (and in fact, no one really considered Crabby an ambassador after the execution). Overall, towards the end of the game, all patterns were correctly deciphered, and in my opinion, this can provide its own share of pleasure since there is something to think about, especially when realizing that descriptions aren't given randomly. And then, perhaps a controversial point regarding the description of Nefela's murder—I implied that her heart gave out, as the combination of alcohol and heavy food with a sauna is very unhealthy, rather than poisoning. - Open play. To be honest, for a very long time I thought Tox wasn't playing entirely by the rules, but at the same time, I couldn't find anything specific to give him a modkill for. By the end of the game, many followed his example, which made me think that perhaps something like this is quite permissible in certain situations. By that point, many were already clearly hinting at their roles, yet players still weren't entirely sure of each other's roles until the end. So it's hard to say what would be better. - Medjerson signed up just in time, because on that very day I planned to remove Nekoran's role (which Gur had) from the setting so as not to redistribute roles, and adjust some Mafia and town roles (one idea was to give Theodore healing and Albee a survey).
Good - I liked the atmosphere in the game and the Mafia chat, and I was pleased with the high activity and engagement of the players in the Gameplay. I also liked the plot component of what happened; although there wasn't much opportunity to expand while writing newspapers, if you judge purely by the night and day actions, a very interesting picture emerges + it gave me certain motivation to work on the continuation of the expedition. Otherwise—I hope the players had fun too despite any possible mishaps.
Keywords for describing actions: Block - fatigue/sleepiness. Isolation - torture/injuries. Protection - persecution. Floria's visit - good mood. Forging orders - mention of the palace. Black magic - depression. Secret visit - staged incidents. Grace - non-contact kills. Assassination - described any way(before the game started, I planned to do it without any mention in the newspaper at all, simply by moving the player to the corresponding list, but then decided to abandon this idea).
