That one was a miss.

Secondary miss, though pretty much all Catcord games did this at the time.

Shouldā€™ve explained this to them with some flavor document.

I stand by this change.

This was funny. I should bring this back as a 1x 3P ability.

That was an intentional choice: I wanted to lend gravitas to moving people from the Circle of the Living to the Circle of the Dead, especially since thatā€™s how mafia and cultā€™s victory would be decided, and I didnā€™t want the target selections to be biased by alignment. A 3P who leaves the game after reviving a set number of people fulfills that requirement quite well.

Being able to see inside other peopleā€™s channels is an ability thatā€™s neat in concept but bad in practice. Donā€™t do this, kids.

I donā€™t think this is inherently a bad idea, especially given how mafia had a will forger. Ritual Mafia did it quite well, even if it got quite annoying at times.

See my previous point. Maybe shouldā€™ve made this an x-use ability, but ĀÆ\(惄)/ĀÆ.

Ok, that one was a bit broken.

5x voters are fun.

The intent was for them to pose as a neutral entity that used the gameā€™s design and information against town, justifying the smaller mafia and cult through their influence. Probably shouldā€™ve just given them near-infinite power outright, but I hadnā€™t thought about breaking the rules of mafia quite yet.

In short, Circle Mafia was a fun experiment that I learned a lot from.

misleading, most games didnā€™t have cults in general. there were a few in the early days that could recruit from mafia but. those days were long gone by this point

I thought this was the era of multiball and cults and chicanery.
Maybe Iā€™m confusing it with the other circut?

if the other circuit is the one iā€™m thinking of then i donā€™t think it ever stopped having an age of multiball and cults and chicanery. thereā€™s a reason i stayed away

Iā€™m so jealous of people who have the ability to make genuinely wildly bad mafia games. Iā€™m too perfectionistic and can only make tame bad mafia games, which are much worse

we were talking about a game recently where a 3p faction won (ending the game) by answering a trivia question

The strategy is to just swing really hard and fall over from the weight of your swing.
