[QUOTE=MattZed;638551]But for forum mafia game, giving someone an extra-hard role they have to stick with is in general cruel. You don't want the SK to think at the end of the game "I played so well but got unlucky with a cop check; if only I had an ally like mafia I would have won!"[/QUOTE]

Yeah, this is why Neutral Evil (but non-killing) roles are heavily disfavored in Forum Mafia other than Cult of course (which tends to be the anti-Town faction in its games). More so solo roles like Witch, Auditor (I don't think I've ever seen someone use an Auditor in an FM game interestingly), Judge (which has rarely been seen), etc. It's just tough rolling Neutral -- you're basically playing to do well vs. win in most games realistically speaking.
