So I've been thinking for a few months now and want to broach the subject with the mafia community as a whole about something.
I think the role of Mafia Assassin needs to be lessened within our community.
This is partially self-serving I confess, I have probably ate twice as many of these than anyone else has throughout the years so I don't mind if I am thought of as crazy, but as that player, but also I like to think as a respected scum player as well, mafia assassin is too strong of a role in games that don't have, say, 25+.
We very rarely use Mafia Vig. I feel as if Mafia Assassin is just kind of thrown into games because it is nearly a standard now. I think we see scum win a lot because they are able to, with little thought, target the best player in any one game night 1 and say "that's it. They are done." And on top of that usually are able to usually get a second kill.
I like the Mafia Vig for an extra kill
I like the Mafia Strongman to take out a scanner or, god help me, me.
I just think it is time to go back to the drawing board, not as a community trying to ban a role or something silly like that, but as a group of people who host. Almost every game scheduled to be hosted is from either a vet host or a vet player. I would like to hear some thoughts. I know I am biased, it can't be helped, but I think with the rate in which we see scum win games it isn't an unfair thing to point out.
Thoughts?
