in terms of pros and cons of mafia flagbearer vs 1 mafia strat
its p hard to get a read on who’s mafia and who’s mafia flagbeaer, since a lot of the same stuff is there
however, mafia flagbearer encourages use of the main mechanic, since if there’s a smaller number of players alive at endgame the flagbearer is easier to find (and the flagbearer would never die to doomsay)
(i’d also make it so that the mafia decides their flagbearer pregame)
although this does make it so that mafia has less of a reason to doomsay to keep options open, which doesn’t feel right
whereas if you only need to catch 1 mafia
actually that probably encourages use of doomsays better for both sides, since it lowers the poe for town and it rids mafia of a potential loss condition
can somebody fact check me on this stuff btw? not sure if its true
