Started playing in: 2011

Qualifications:
Nana7 was, similarly to Fat Tony, hand picked by the administrator of MafiaManiac to be a representative in this game. This makes perfect sense with her staggering 9 MVP wins and her win of the Best Mafia Player award for 2012.

#22 Player: soah



Username for this game: soah

Representing: Two Plus Two

Started playing in: 2006

Qualifications:
soah has with consistent performances and dedication in games since 2006 commonly been referred to as one of the top 3 players (at the very least) on this site in addition to being regarded as the lead strategic thinker and contributor.

For the 2012 draft, he was picked second. In addition to this, he was ranked the second best villager, the fourth best mafia and the second best overall player in the 2013 power rankings. Going further back, he was ranked seventh best mafia and third best villager in 2011.

He's already won several MVP awards and is being deemed an early contender for Year of the Player award, according to some comments.

In the wide world of the internet, there are many lands. In some of these lands, a game is played. Some call it Mafia, others call it Werewolf. By any name and in any language, it is a game of cunning and deceit, of lies and the search for the truth. One one side is the village, the side of all that is good and right in the world, honest warriors seeking to ferret out the enemies in their midst. On the other side, the evil doers, whose goals are to deceive, and survive, and kill off the innocent villagers one by one.

While some individuals are gifted with other powers, the true power of the village is the lynch, where each person casts their vote to decide who must die at the end of each day. Because the village is noble and pure, their power takes place in the light of day, votes cast openly and debated vigorously. The mafia, in contrast, is sneaky and shady, operating in greatest secrecy. Though their numbers are fewer, their power is in their knowledge, and in their ability to operate at night. At night do they kill, and each day begins with a tally of the dead.

In the world that is the internet, there is a country named 2+2. In that country, there is a land called POG. And in POG, there is a village. One day, strangers came to POG to fill this tiny village. From all over the wide world they came, invited for a single reason. To play the game. And to win.

But not all those who came were innocent villagers. Already into the midst of this tiny hamlet the evil doers had crept, intent on causing mayhem and sowing dissension among the pure of heart. Who will win this epic battle between Good and Evil? It is for the All-Stars of Mafia to decide....


It is still night.

Talk about the most general of themes. I'm assuming this is just a Good vs. Evil theme. That's a shame when I saw my PM I thought this would be a Star Trek theme, which would have made it breakable.

Mine had nothing to do with Star Trek. Though until your post, I thought it might have a certain theme, I did not read the op as really hinting at any theme or lack thereof.

Since we are not told how many are the bad side, I think 6 is a good baseline to start with since that is standard for vanilla on this site. Maybe anywhere from 5 to 9 or 10?

Pretty much impossible to be anywhere near 10 evils, even the craziest games here don't go more than 1/3 evils, and the potential village roles overall aren't too powerful here. I'd count on six evils with a lesser chance of five or seven.

Liking Soah so far as good. Not sure about Taylor claiming a lack of theme. Baddies would be more likely to know that if they had no consistent theme. On the other hand, baddie should know better than to just reveal that tidbit.

21-5 sounds too townsided. I'd say 19-7 is a pretty good split, most of the forum games I've played have a ratio close to 3:1 but usually slightly better. In this scenario, 19-7 has around that ratio but I'm not going to speculate any more on that and focus more on trying to lynch one mafia at a time.
