Yes. The gun owner could have hurt scum badly. Hence the term “super swingy role.” Personally, I try to avoid super swingy roles because while they can be “fair,” super swingy takes the result away from gameplay and towards a random event. ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > Once again I apologize to Town for my errors, and to Hooker in particular. You played great, Prof! It was a blast playing with everybody in this game. Trust me, your performance far exceeds the majority of my performances. I get lynched _constantly_ because I talk so much, and I’m actually always aggressive when I play. You played smooth, never had suspicion on you, and were a stone’s throw away from winning the game for your team. ---

If we’re still jonesing for more Mafia after these two games, I wouldn’t mind actually firing up a sequel to my [De’endee Mafia game](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=615244&highlight=Mafia). My games tend to be a little… _complicated_, though. Maybe more simple games are preferable before I get around to doing a sequel. ---

If you do it, count me in. ---

Thanks for the input everyone. Glad to hear that the game was not one sided and was balanced out well. I was a bit worried that Town had too much power but I knew I had to counter the 3 player Scum team. ---
