Lazuli-Heart wrote: No tactical mafia. The Mafioso Overhawl- Making it a mafia amnesiac??? You know who does this, real amesiacs! We don't need a false amne. It would make Mafioso play boring, as it's just a limited Amne. As Jally keeps saying, the game is for fun. This would make the games less fun. We don't need an imposter if we already have an Amne. '''This makes the role versatile. Amnes are Town-sided, this isn't. See more about the amne on my NB blog, but yeah it's town-sided. This is forced to be Mafia and it's incredibly helpful.'''

The Godfather's Notifications- Ok, I'll admit that automatic info from the Consig would be nice, however, getting the notifications on being killed or roleblocked would be so confusing. You'd get a message "You were attacked by a werewolf!", and get confused when you turned up alive the next day. Or, you'd get the notification "You were roleblocked!" and then the Mafia would have still killed. Until you got a handle on the notifications, it'd be hell to decifer what was for you and what was for the rest of the Mafia. '''Indeed. I do believe that this is a minor thing and can be fixed through simple colouring yours a different colour. On the other hand, this fixes this issue you have with communication being too limited as GF would have to speak to Mafia about it. As far as I can see, this is a neutral argument.'''

Everybody Voting- This would make things harder for the Godfather. If the Godfather has someone in mind to kill, they mightn't be able to kill them. This would also be a gamethrowers dream with a team of them, forcing the killer into the protected Mayor. It also throws out the Communication part of the mafia's gameplay. '''Uh, no. They choose the killer, not their target. And WE DON'T BALANCE OFF OF GAMETHROWERS. We balance off of meta, not gamethrowers. If we balanced off of possible gamethrowing, then Mayor would be removed because it can vote up Town. In fact every role with a negative utility can be removed for gamethrowing purposes. Vigi is debateable with this, but it's one out of many that has a cap on gamethrowing.'''

So "Tactical Mafia" could end up throwing teamwork tactics out the window. '''Uh, let me think about that.... No. It encourages strategy because they have more versatility. Examples given in above bolded text paragraphs.'''
