Feedback#2: I think it's really really really really fun for mafia to know the details of the rewards/penalties/eligibility/etc and try to put them to good use.
Agreed, it is more fun when someone is controlling the mechanic. How exactly did that work anyways?
I guess I misunderstood your original post then. I thought you were saying mafia wouldn't "risk" exposing a mafia power role as long as a plain goon could submit the NK. To me, it looked like you were saying: "well, Laarz wasn't the hitman since he flipped replay so that means a mafia goon faking a power role also targeted Drixx." I just disagree with that supposition in it's entirety and will do so each and every game it comes up.
Oh, and mafia had 0 repeatable night actions. We had 1 repeatable day action and a collection of X shot abilities.
Hmm. It seems to me when mafia discuss who should submit the NK, it is usually: who can we afford to get caught the most. Generally the people with no abilities submit before the ones who have actives/passives.
The real flaws in my argument was I expected a X-shot on the flip if it was limited shots, so I thought it was an every night thing, and I did not expect so many X-shots in general.
Replay is a nice alternative to a mafia "roleblock" ability. I'd like to see it again. However, the "can't be used to repeat an action with 0 charges left" restriction was too restrictive this game. I think there was a single ability it could have been used on: Morty Liberman's rolecop. Oh, watcher too I guess.
Agreed. It really seemed like a fun role to use, just need more good targets for it in the game. Would also make for some funny situations.
Did it expend a shot by a townie? So could you waste a second night vig shot with it?
Imagine the confusion if a JOAT submitted a cop the first night and a watcher the second night, and then got innocent results on both. Also, would the JOAT expend his watcher shot or just not use it?
What happens if you target the same person on 2 consecutive nights? EX:
N1) A tagets B
N2) X replays A, A attempts to target C. A instead targets B
N3) X replays A, A attempts to target D. Does A actually target B or C?
Could you have gotten another nk with the combination of replay and bus driver?
On the limited shots thing, that would only be useful for mafia on mafia action?
I don't think it would work unless the person targeted did not die. Unless you are allowed to target a dead player with bus.
