DP: I was thinking I like your way because it's better when reading through a finished thread for the first time. I do find myself habitually checking the first page for current player info and revealed roles of the dead...perhaps it would be best to do both, then when the game is complete reset it to the origianl post.

I had a moderation problem. When I finally decided to start Simpsons Mafia I had trouble establishing a balance between mafia and town. And I sometimes worry that I gave one side or the other too much power (for people who might be in Simpsons Mafia, these feelings fluctuate regularly, so don't try and guess what I really think ). Do you have any sugestions about how to make a balanced game?-

I think that question might have been too vague, but the gist is how you rate one power against another.
A doc is pretty useless in the beginning of the game, and can even be led astray later, they're not as powerful as they seem. Cops, on the other hand, can determine the roles of suspiscious people, but they also are a bit useless in the beginning becasue they probably want to collect enough information to justify bringing it out during the day discretely (of coruse a lot of this depends on the player).
As far as I know masons don't do much planning except for looking out for others in their groups (I was a mason in my mafia 5 the first time they were implemented, I liked to pretend we were more powerful than we were ). Then there is the number of mafia to consider, and is a serial killer harder or easier to get rid of because they are only one person. I drove myself silly trying to balance Simpsons Mafia, but most of this moderation schtick seems to be wait-and-see.
Er...any opinions?- Macros

trial and error
i'm modding my first game, i have seroius doubts as too the balancedness of the roles, but thatslife, i have spent a long time agonizing over the balance of my lotr roles, i think i have it balanced, and im not changing them, if i feel one side might be too powerful now, i'll simply ensure the other side gets at least one "good" palyer on thier side
no doubt you wanted an answer from an experienced mod, dp?- Dragon Phoenix

Heh, dont you remember the first SW mafia on the GL? The Dark side was so stacked with the best and most vocal players that it was a slaughter.ShowElvis_Knits: "IS you are a sexist schmuck, for real"
Guttersnipe: "INTERNET STRANGER: You will never get away with the crap you pulled in this game again in any game I am in, ever"

No, I always use randomizing. So far, this has not resulted in a complete 'newbie' mafia group, and the one time that I had a mafia family fully consisting of some of the best players, they lost quickly.
I do make sure that there is no role that is so powerful that JDTAY can ruin the game if he gets it.- Macros

it seems my suggestion was misinterpreted, i emat if the roels seemed slightly unbalanced, and theres nothing you can do about it (ofr some insane reason) then i would consider ensure the "weaker" side had one pro - Macros
