figured out the hint about himself pretty quickly

Yeah, and everyone else figured it out just as quickly, which is why they strung you up on your own gate on the third day. By order of the king. The very next day.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

If all your newspapers are so obvious that even a Shaman could see through them

Yes, yes, so obvious that Koshu-mafa was immediately identified as a guaranteed mafia member...:D Where's the "obviousness" there? Witch's tea doesn't count. That really was a fail.:(

P.S. I remembered that in Mafia 55, besides me, two other guys from the same forum also showed up for ХВ. I stayed, but those two said that ХВ is :smile18:, there's no point in killing because opening Wikipedia and figuring out who the mafia is doesn't require much intelligence, blah blah blah...:mad: And all because the GM turned out to be Pobeditel, giving too easy clues. At the same time, they didn't even bother playing games with other GMs to adequately assess the level of clues. You have something similar going on, only in terms of newspaper clues.
