The point is that people had a fun time playing, I think that's important, yk?
I can list tons of things I should have done differently. I was also too obsessed with making things work for this round and having more players to think other things through properly, because most people aren't online anymore, so yes, that was stupid, I admit that, but I don't see how that has to do with changing the rules. What would we have to alter, exactly, Yuriko? Not adding more than one couple to a game when it's too small? Most people don't even know you can do that while the rules state it's possible.
And frankly, Lyndsi not getting my message saved this round, since it added more equality to the game with Conia having a solid ally that helped him take out two townies.
Also, yes, I should have added another BO member, Lyndsi and I should have made more time for this and I should have waited with sending roles till she could have balanced it out, but we didn't and frankly I don't see why we are going to worry about that more than we should now. I know that next time I should do things differently and not be afraid I have an overpowered town or BO side (which I was seriously afraid of doing, my bad I reversed it by fearing that).
Anyway, even if I made mistakes people had a blast, I'm glad for that, and the BO still took out many people. Isn't that the point, having fun?
:V
I need to stop discussing or trying to defend myself before I start to take this personally, sheesh...
Anyway, lesson learned, shaking hands on it?
It is the point, yes, and when you do GM again, I'm really hoping you try to fix your mistakes and I may be a bit biased, whether Conia was on the BO or not, I'd still look into everything going on due to the last game when it truly did feel like you didn't want your BO team to win. ( I've written this five times now and kept deleting it earlier. ) but it didn't feel like it fit, but I don't want to attack you for it. I just wanted to make sure that's not the reason the balancing was this game. It was good on the parts of all and it would have been a fun round if I gotten to play. But no, it's nothing personal, but please do your best, also you do know when they protect correctly with Ran's protect they should get injured and the BO member gets outted in the process. ( which is why I do believe it's a pretty big deal with the protects )
I honestly promise it wasn't my intention.
I will fix my mistakes, last time I might not have realised I made them, but this time I did, and I'm going to work on it if there will ever be a chance I get to GM again, which I doubt... Considering how hard it was to gather people...
And don't take this like I don't learn from mistakes but it just been a very long time.. Maybe I should try practicing GMing on the minimafia channel if there are enough people to fix that...

Maybe we can make another post announcing the MM rounds, or figure out a date and time like we used too.
And thank you, I just hope you don't take this as being mean. Cause that's the last thing I want ever, cause no one deserves to feel that way ever. It is hard to gather people, but I do hope we can do that cause the last thing I want to see is mafia dying. ( though the summer was pretty bad for being around, but hopefully it gets better now. And again, none of this is meant to be rude, I just worry about biased people taking over and we really do lose mafia. Which is what I really am afraid of lately.
Mafia: The only place where you can find Gin and Akai married together with 8 kids all disguised as Akai. Or something epic like that.

I just realised I might have been biased last round, but I certainly don't think that was the case this time. If all I want everyone to have equal chances at having both fun and winning.
Also, GATHER DOSE PEOPLES!!!
(I am more worried about this forum dying ATM btw, people mainly came here for the anime and the amount of activity died down after funimation did the thing..)

I'll make Conia make the topic, I'm too lazy, or open it or whatever we have to do, we need a way to know what times are good and bad for people. I won't lie I made terrible decisions in my game including a decision I kinda thought may be better off for a town cause someone's lynch PM was badly worded so I VoRed instead of lynched poor Stop. But I made really bad decisions too, so trust me. It happens.
( I was kinda worried about the forum dying too, we've already lost a lot of our people sadly, since we used to have 20-30 players almost every game, but hopefully we can keep it going and rise up again. )

On the part of the GM feedback, however, I have to say that while I get it's frustrating gm's make mistakes, they do this so we can have a fun game! Isn't it going too far to have a whole topic to judge them for some mistakes they made even while they are sacrificing their time arranging a round..?
Late reply
The feedback topic is purely for improvements, for the past and future GMs. As Stoppy said, it is filtered so that it only provides positive information and insights. Every player wants a good GM and every GM wants to be a better GM, this topic is meant to be a tool for that.
And yes, Mafia is for fun! And I think I'm correct by saying that every player and every GM had fun in this Round I sure had a blast with it. In general I prefer being BO for Mafia and I liked my role too, also my brain was overheating since Night 1 thinking ways of winning it, and nothing is better for a mystery game than making your brain work hard.
