Would you rather have:
A game where the most extreme role in the setup was like, a combined town cop-tracker-watcher or something like that, and the only factions present are town, mafia, werewolf, and a single sk rand
A game where like half the roles will end the game on n1 and nobody gets to play the game, and the other half require so much work from me that it’s not fun for me
This setup

I will be direct, but it was pretty straight.

No one likes playing town mostly. There's exceptions of course.
Therefore, with ability to choose your alignment from three rolls, everyone just go to scum. Game turns in "Who rolled stupid overpowered role, and didn't get elimmed wins" and simlle hunt for "You like playing scum, you die", and meta shit.

I failed with rolling stupid overpowered role, as well as other town and payed for it. Seems like sucking to rng is way of the game, which specific, but not bad. Either there need to be a little more town, or elims should be removed altogether (cuz they are jeopardized from start) and town must have "Faction Strongman Kill" which can be aimed by Village Idiot Vigilante, who doesn't know team and passes his NK to random town when dies. Oh nvm, how Jesters will win then...


Or i am whining. Happens actually.
GG everyone of course, thanks mdding and all.

I was forced to pick SK, i think just a 2 card pick would be ideal here and a reroll available with an unattainable wincon

Secret alts would theoretically make every Mafia game better, and yet for some reason both times I've attempted secret alt games, I've failed to properly get engaged. Though two is a rather small sample size, maybe it's just a coincidence.

There's also the matter of secret alts unfortunately not being able to truly conceal identities, unless the players make a conscious effort to play differently than normal

Rerolls only for when you get a card like chaos elemental which cant win with its role
