Hell, I haven't known the themes of about 75% of the ones I've been in. I google characters when I'm given a name to work with, but that's about it.

Always randomize roles.
I know some people get upset because they don't ever get special roles. There are always going to be long streaks of people getting special roles and being in the mafia and long streaks of being regular inno with randomized roles. That's just how random number distribution works.
There's not a great solution there other than to buck up. If we say "so-and-so hasn't received a good role in 5 games, better give one to them" the other players would eye that player as either a special or mafia right away.

The only times I didn’t randomize was in one game, I believe random.org gave vikes or Fitzy a special role and then it also have cubs a special role. Most know we are friends IRL so I didn’t want anyone thinking I was doing special favors so I told cubs I was giving him a reg inno role.
The other time was when random.org gave gipper the most important role in the game and he only ever posts once a day in games with his votes and I thought it’d be lame.
Other than that, always random

My question stemmed from comments from other players. I have no complaints. Sure, I'd love to have better roles, but I'm not going to quit because I'm on a regular inno streak.
Yeah I have gone on streaks of being a special or mafia and then streaks of just reg. inno.
My statement was more generalized, I know you're cool playing with whatever role.My question stemmed from comments from other players. I have no complaints. Sure, I'd love to have better roles, but I'm not going to quit because I'm on a regular inno streak.
Cokane and I started playing Mafia at the same time. For like the first five or six games, he was mafia and I was regular inno. It got to be kind of a joke between us for a while.
Maybe not next game, but the one after, you’ll be due
I have sometimes randomized twice if it was all noobs in the mafia and special roles, but other than that it was all randomized.
