The Archer Mafia Post Game.
Role by role, you're all getting rated /10 and I'll explain a bit about the role for your interest. Fun times! I'm doing them in the order I wrote the roles rather than the number you were assigned, but it makes no difference really.I think this was a really really good role obviously, with a one shot of 5 abilities effectively, but np used them all pretty effectively, which involved finding a mafia, and clearing a townie, so I'd say a job well done once again. Was unlucky that once he was outed as Archer, which is inevitable in the backend of a game, Kesh decided he had to die which considering his abilities were all gone wasn't strictly true but having ANOTHER proven townie around is never good. All in all, a very good game, so a solid 8/10.

Gutted this role went to a non-Archer watcher, but Eric made the most of it in bits and bobs including the final day phase so not entirely gone to waste! I was considering making Mallory a miller with two votes so when Lone investigated him he'd have come up as a threat, but I decided against it because with Tom's vote restriction, local's vote restriction and two killers I thought it was more balanced that way. Maybe a mistake on my part but hey. Eric played well, voted sparsely and with thought and I thought he did a good job, if perhaps a little too inactive at times to make a real impact! 7/10!

A good role I thought, one that Modiga used well by initially staying cautious and protecting himself, and then protecting not propaganda when he realised his role was a main character. Again ironically, by this point np had no abilities left but was an almost guaranteed mafia target so swings and roundabouts! Modiga played well in terms of voting, no real cock-ups and did well, so another solid town game here. 7/10.
4. @hellas as :
Hahaha one of my two favourite roles this one. A variation on the nymphomaniac role, where instead of tagging onto one person, poor Cyril has to do it once per night. Hellas chose wisely and it didn't bring about his death, but I was deliberately vague with the write ups to make it seem like he may have been upto something to make things interesting. I thought genuinely that Hellas handled that really quite well but man, you need to reign in the way you promote lynches cos it winds people up, hence CL's revenge kill which realistically, was a good chance for him to pick Kesh and win the game as Kesh was at that point the most un-townie of the group remaining. None the less, solid, and I'll give you a 6.5/10, could easily be a good townie player though because you really have a good knack of figuring out characters, just work on how you come across!

Stu as my undoubted favourite role in the game :
I thought this role absolutely perfectly reflected Cheryl/Carol's personality and also would be great fun for Stu to use, but unfortunately he died quite early on which is really irritating for me! Ahh well, I thought Stu was useful as always before his early demise, but he was genuinely just concerned with getting a night kill out of his ability so I'm not sure whether he had town's best interests in mind with that one! I'll give him a 6/10 because he died early and didn't get to do too much but that's not to say you were bad in any way, just didn't really get a full opportunity.

cl7 as :
Another really fun role actually and one that actually got to be used how I envisioned it! I thought the role could either be really useful if CL picked a mafia suspect or really funny if he just went for a "fuck it, revenge" style kill which he told me early on was always going to be his plan haha. So yeah that's how Hellas died which is quite funny, the perfect combo of revenge role and slightly irritating lynchee made for a great double-kill and pretty much gave Kesh a sniff of winning the game again I thought. Like I say, had CL used it on Kesh who I think was probably number one suspect at the time, he'd have ended the game, so I can't give too higher rating unfortunately. Have a 6/10!

suarez as:
Damnit why didn't this role get to work, could have started SO much! There was the obvious risk to Hamish which I thought would make him only use it on power roles, but what he didn't know was the person he brought back, if he did, there was a 50% chance they wouldn't be brought back with the same role but as an indie-aligned cyborg serial killer, so not actually a massively useful role at all but so much fun could have ensued. A 1/2 chance of Hamish dieing, a 1/4 chance of an SK, and a 1/4 chance of a vanilla townie returning, so admittedly not great odds! I thought Hamish did okay but again died early so can't really say too much beyond 6/10, solid effort.

localnative as:
Another fun role I thought, and one that perfectly captures Ray's flair for the dramatic. If Ray had been targeted he would have survived the first attempt, but become entirely paralysed and unable to talk in the thread so it's a good job for town that didn't happen! I thought local had another brilliant game, really persistent questioning, a good judge of character and handled the vote restriction well by throwing his vote on early anyway to increase pressure while knowing he had the safety against a rush lynch, so not actually a massive disadvantage at all, especially coupled with Eric's double vote. Really well played, Man of the Match for me, 9.5/10.
9. @tominho as :
I'm sorry to everyone involved how much I screwed up with Tom's role title, but I'm lucky in that he was basically inactive as fuck after anyway so made no real difference in the end. I thought his role was interesting, basically a 50/50 bulletproof (there were a fair few one-shot/maybes in this game) and a voteless townie which I thought fit Tom perfectly seeing as very few people listen to him! Before he was inactive he got put under a lot of pressure and was forced to claim, which was a disaster for me as we've discussed. I can't really rate Tom out of 10 due to my cock up so we'll leave this one, sorry mate.

Solitario as:
I thought this was an interesting one. Gave him the ODIN aligned to increase the risk of being forced to claim although if Lone was forced to give the role PM I'd have swapped it to ISIS aligned myself and not told anyone. Alas, that wasn't needed, and Lone used his ability to clear a LOT of people throughout the game, which is always useful at the end, if not as the game progresses. I think of the survivors, Lone would have been certain of Kesh's guilt, as he'd investigated all the other members, but Kesh would have come up town as the godfather had he been investigated too haha. Well played anyway, a solid 7/10.

Germany's Top Scorer as: You are:
What a bus driver! I think mnolan's driving fucked up the mafia's first kill cos it ended up with DIOS targeting himself, thus cancelling the kill ( I can't write up a person killing themselves like that...) and caused chaos for the mafia's plans, so really well played, hence why you were killed I think as they realised your influence was effective in ruining their plans. Pity really as had you been protected you could have been useful for longer. 7/10 again.
12.
Kesh as:
Kesh once again played a blinder as mafia and tricked a fair few of you for a VERY long time, especially after his colleagues' early deaths. I thought his role claim was inspired, if a LITTLE farfetched that Rodney would make a cut of 15, but then that's more a flaw with the amount of characters I had to pick from I guess. I thought fwiw, potential role claims were Rodney, The Hobbit enthusiast as DIOS attempted (more on that later), Noah from the pirate storyline, Ramon, Burt Reynolds, Kenny Loggins (no idea how...) and Framboise at a push. Anyway, yeah Kesh. Ended up with a powerful role as a killer with investigation immunity but I'm sure he'd rather have had some team-mates left! Really well played, non-town MOTM, and 9/10.

ange postecoslamp as:
Cos died really early so hard to judge, but a decent, if pretty standard role I thought. Cos has a townie sort of vibe to him I thought so I guessed he'd do well, but was unlucky early on to be targeted by Maski for that very reason. Can't really judge much but avoided suspicion thus far so 6/10.

allah as:
Standard mafia hitman. I had an idea in my head to make some rule about her being unable to kill Archer due to their past but left it out quite late on in the process for balancing reasons. I thought DIOS could, if rumbled as Katya claim a loophole in his role that if he targeted Archer he'd become a townie for that reason which I was interested to see if mafia would come up with but alas, they didn't, and a good attempt at a role claim as Bilbo haha! Really good idea with the riddles thing, quite believable but yeah, unlucky! 6/10.
15. Finally,
Maskya Yoshida as:
Thanks for the role, other Barry. Standard SK role, so a really hard ask for Maski especially as a mafia suspect early on as he's usually mafia! Gave it a good go but once targeted was never really going to be able to escape so didn't really put up a massive defence. Made for some interesting early game kills though, killing Coslamp and nearly Mallory! A good effort so 6.5/10.
Anything else anyone wants analysing, give me a heads up. Thanks for playing all of you!
