Set-up and Role PMs
As most of you figured out by now, this set-up is a modification of the Jungle Republic set-up, which was also used for the Newbie 3 game. Personally, I believe my set-up to be slightly more balanced and less swingy than the original set-up but that's just my own opinion. My main problem with Jungle Republic was that it allows for very few mislynches and in an open set-up the WIFOM can take overhand fairly quick. So I decided to use the Desians as the Mafia factions but I actually kept them "hidden" in the closed set-up. Unfortunately, it never played out that way because all Desian members died before anybody else did.
The other thing I believe to be more balanced about my set-up is the additional townie - I added a doctor as well as a miller to keep things balancd. Neither role affects the Desians negatively but the cop investigating the miller would've posed a great opportunity for them and also slightly distracted onto other players. Which is by all means fine with me because they had the most difficult win condition of all factions. The Cruxis [who were the werewolves] were also slighly powered-up by an additional roleblocker to take care of the cop / doc combo of the town. Again, the Desians remained unaffected by this, which is why I think that this set-up is very fair balanced. I hope you think the same about it and I'm glad to see most of you enjoyed the game
I'd like to thank all people who played this game and in particular the replacement players Nix2100 and Frozenflame. If it wasn't for people like you many great games would've been cancelled. Thank you to Xiivi as well for taking care of votecounts [and my Arcanine
] during my absence. This game went very effortless for me. Here are the role PMs:

Rajam and Tandora were the Cruxis. I labeled them as "Mafia Goon" and "Mafia Roleblocker" in their role PM. The reason for this was to make clear that
they are considered the mafia - they do the nightkills and they are the cop's chief targets.
