Tracker - Middling scanning role. It was primarily a tools to catch Leo or some of the secondary town power roles.

Ninja Godfather - The ninja part wasn't useful by itself, but sometimes there is power in making scum not be afraid of something. Like, if I leave the Ninja modifier off, perhaps they talk themselves out of killing their desired target night one because "oh he might be watched". Godfather was good though.

Persistant Strongman Vig - Nice extra kill. Persistent made him immune to redirects (again, not in the game but just to give them a "oh cool lets do what we want and not be afraid of bus driving etc" kind of thing). They did something weird with this and I never figured out why. They had MI bus the targets, then Chris shot through them...to confuse town. Which was weird. Because if he flipped...why wouldn't town just assumed that "oh sure they bussed these two people, shot with their normal kill, and then Chris used his super shot on the other guy". What was to keep town from thinking that sure, the bus and shot happened, but it was the other scum that used that shot and Christ just killed Scare instead? I missed that part of the argument, I think. He claimed he shot through the bus drive (which he did)...but why not just have their normal kill use the bus drive to go around protection and have Chris shoot the other guy? What if Scare had been doc saved? It would accomplish the same thing without the risk I think. Unless they were afraid of being tracked, I suppose.

Jack-of-all-trades (Bus drive, Body removal, Psychic, Name Scan) - A good solid jack role. Bus drive is crazy strong, body removal was an excellent counter to Leo's role (it mostly existed to make them aware of the fact that someone could do something to dead bodies from the get go - I think they actually guessed the dead mason recruiter thing right away). It also lead them to figure out he was multi use before he claimed it because "why have this if he could only do it once?" Plus it was actually functional as it removed a town power from play (particularly if they use it to get rid of doc or one of the scanners). It would doubly screw with Leo because it made the player untargetable, and the way I treat that is a reflexive roleblock on anyway taking action on them. So if Leo tried to recruit and use an action on the same night, he would get roleblocked for both (and not even know why!). I thought it was a good soft counter to Leo's role, to go along with their one-two punch of role blockers. Psychic is "fine" and name scan was kind of a weak power to round things out.

So there you have it.

I hope Puns/MI/Han are slightly less irate now that they see Town wasn't nearly as strong as they thought they were. I still think this is a really fun set up, and I was honestly really happy with the way basically everyone played. It was a great game from top to bottom, fun to read, and I think just about everyone played well. I hope, at the very least, you had FUN.

SO MUCH FUN.
