Mistakes are going to happen regardless, I think. I wouldn't worry about it, Nutty!
Is it easier to win as Mafia or Town? I mean, there's less Mafia, but then there's all sort of balancing mechanics. I'd be interesting to see the win-loss ratio. I'm sure that'd make a great graph.
Hmm, I wonder where BoB is?
As mafia, it depends. The first few day lynches are mostly pure speculation if you don't do anything outright scummy. People wont be able to pin-point exactly what is what in terms of voting patterns.
Since you're not hunting yourselves down, you're looking for power players. There's less of a pool to pull from compared to the townies. Power players being a) they have a power or b) they are showing to be very observant and are becoming a problem. Mafia will want to take them out first. Taking them off right off the bat is the best idea. That way there's no ties to you via day talk and them. Which is probably why qwerty got the ax right away.
The more the type B power player points fingers and connects the dots, the more incriminating your night kill will be. So if they're getting close, too close for comfort, and you kill them, that just reaffirms their finger pointing. But you can't leave them alive because they are swaying the town with their skills. So it's best to knock them out early as you can when realizing how they post.
And of course, you don't want the actual powers floating around. A doctor will protect a potential kill, wasting your night. A investigator will possibly out you as a mafiaso. So they're prime targets too.
If you can knock out your Type A and Type B power players early on, it's smooth sailing.
If you lay low, but not too low, you can successfully mafiaso the whole thing. Provide enough content to not seem like a baddie and you're participating but not too much to seem like you're intentionally swaying the public toward town lynches. Just a "oops, I could have sworn!"
The best tactic as town is to A) get people talking so they'll trip up while b) Laying low so you don't reveal yourself as a power player.
AT LEAST IN MY EXPERIENCE
Sometimes though, it's all about luck in the beginning.
I think on EoFF we have more town wins overall. We'll see where this one falls.
You know what's bad about being dead? When you have your own brainwave and realise you can't share. ;_;
Welcome to the club Shauna. I wanted to say so much. :/
Interesting game so far, yes the town has failed horribly but they still have a chance. At the end of Day 1 I had about 75% confidence in one person being mafia with more of a gut feel on the other. They are both still alive so we will see how it plays out. The added flavor text does make things interesting and also confusing, as is using your real account with a hidden character identity. In a smaller game like this, I also like that the possible roles were all laid out. Adds a different layer of strategy. Some cool innovations so far Karif.

You protected me? Pfft. The Mafia must love me, running my mouth and getting you and Shauna killed.
There are better targets to protect
If the Doctor couldn't self protect then may as well roll a dice to decide who to protect - she was gonna die no matter what.
Anyway, I'm gonna root for the mafia now, you fine folk deserve it!
I knew i was a dead knight walking, it didn't really matter who I protected besides myself, which I couldn't do so I just ed it.
