Okay, what can I say?
I liked the newspapers that didn't drag on. I didn't like the pressure in private messages to send the Night Detective (ND) out sooner, even though the first is a consequence of the second. I strongly disliked the changing of role rules during the game. Even if, let's say, the order of the ND based on greed can be called a cosmetic addition, since players could have inquired about this before the game, then the unexpected surprise in the form of the Mafia General breaking through defenses on the fourth night looks like nothing more than an attempt to balance the current situation in the game, which is just completely wrong. This should not be done in any case, as everyone has understood for a long time, based on some previous games. Well, otherwise, it was okay, and even good for a first time. However, I have a humble request for all potential GMs: don't turn "Mafia Have" into this kind of setting, as nothing good will come of it.
If anyone is interested, that block on Lynx wasn't intuition, despite the newspaper's name. I was deciphering a clue and checking dates in profiles until they somehow matched Kitsune, and then Tox CORRECTED THE CLUE, and I, with less confidence, redirected my suspicion to Lynx. I thought about leaving a note from Olive, saying that I was blocking a suspected Mafia member based on a certain clue, and if there was no kill, they should execute him. But I didn't, as the interpretation of the clue looked forced (for the same reason, I didn't voice this interpretation during the day either; anyway, no one would have executed anyone, especially since I didn't want to argue this time). Nevertheless, it worked for me.
I liked Mental's day and night game. I really did. I didn't like Jack at all. I didn't follow the previous game and didn't know how justified it was to call him the worst player in the set, but this time it was just awful. Not making the slightest effort to play, justifying it with business and some kind of resentment towards the previous setting and the people, and then, after a fair hanging, writing "ha-ha, the town is a salmon" is just ridiculous. It wouldn't be so absurd if you hadn't failed, but you didn't write anything during the day and revealed yourself as a suicide from the beginning of the game. OF COURSE, THEY WILL GO TO YOU AT NIGHT, WHO ELSE WOULD THEY GO TO? DANGEROUS JACK. From whom you can't get a word out during the day and who revealed himself so obviously that "now it's definitely not him, which means you definitely need to check him."
Regarding the balance, it seemed that the negatives were too strong, and it was a real miracle that the town pulled through. If Revenant hadn't figured out Mental, and Mental had decided to strike at the town, if the Mafia had used the bomb more successfully, or if there had been "pro players with thousands of games in real life, who would definitely dominate everyone in real-life Mafia" x)))000, if no one had replaced Crabby and Olive had grabbed the modkill, and so on.
In general, it was a bit lackluster: there were a lot of newbies. This is not bad in itself, but they are mostly read-only, and there are few active players. There's not much to remember.

Thank you all for the game.
