Empowerer vs Safeguard was only an issue when we assumed that there was a Mafia Roleblocker. Once we learned that it was Junko screwing with the actions, the contrast made more sense.
I'm not quite sure why Marth's self-clear would be a strong point in Town's favor... it's no different from becoming a tree stump since he'd lose his vote (i.e. a dead player that can talk). I guess it would also be relevant if the Town could redirect scum to Marth, but the only redirector (Refa) was scum.
If Michelaar survived, this could have been pretty scary.
Overall, it was a great game, and I think it was well-balanced, given how everything turned out. I wish I thought a bit harder about Refa's claim that he couldn't redirect on N4, but eh, the idea of Refa approving Junko's massclaim sounded ridiculous and I screwed up. You did pretty well, Refa, congratulations! I keep scumreading you in so many games but I think this is the first time you were actually scum... and then I actually let you go in LYLO >_>.
I should probably go join my imouto's game, despite my colossal failure in this one.
