A few words on GMing:
1. I made the newspapers as clear as possible, sacrificing descriptions and other techniques. It's not great when players can't decipher ND — they won't even get to the clues then. Each action is a separate paragraph. The nickname is highlighted. The clue is stated precisely, not lost in the text. I could have written it better, but that was already the line where players might be exposed.

2. I gave the clues themselves in an attempt to bring back the old-school theme. Like Vegtam's in games 9 or 12. Without sheets of clue chains and illogical associations. Everything is quite clear and rational. Multifaceted, yes. Overall okay.

3. There were no notes because they partially or entirely kill the roleplay for many. Personally, I believe so. The role should work during the day too. And with the head.

4. Most of all, I'm dissatisfied that I introduced redirection into the game. I realized during the first night that I had created a very strong mafia. But it can't be fixed now — therefore, a fail.

On the game:
I didn't like the town's activity. Two and a half people played. Even Kalipso wrote slightly less toward the end, WisTrit was killed quickly, and Zybr only opposed accusations. The others weren't very noticeable. With things as they are, it's no surprise that the mafia won.
Although, I don't know how it is in private, but Morning carried everyone in the thread. Only because of him is the mafia victory not purely ND-based.

In short, a mediocre game.
Well done WisTrit, who essentially justified his role and insisted on ToX's execution. Seriously, I'm very pleased. I even want to apologize for old attacks.
ToX's execution was pleasing overall. ToX completely exposed himself. The team didn't pull him out. Berber on a blocked player... kind of cruel. The vagueness of ToX's excuses is similar to the vagueness of Thorium's ideas. Even if it's a minus for the town, he died deservedly — spamming associative versions and leading them nowhere is not an A-grade way to play.
Morning well done. I know he doesn't like being mafia, but this time it turned out great. Led the team to victory.
And Kalipso pleased me too. Even if she was wrong, she was active and tried to figure things out. That's okay.

That is all.
