Interesting. I thought it meant more of a novice mafia team, as Rich made himself look scummy right before that nightfall and with the moves and comments he made, I would have sworn he was mafia. When I read he was the mafia hit I was shocked. He also didn't make any real arguments or dig too deep from what I could tell...if he did, he didn't share with the town. Wouldn't make me think he's a threat to mafia. I think he would have been an excellent lynch candidate from his actions. Instead, with the mafia hitting him, it seems they made it easier for us townies. That's my take on the situation. It's a big part of why I think the mafia team may have a couple noobs, like Razz and Michwol.
It is always possible, with Annie's PM issues, that after Rich's actions where he made himself look scummy, that the mafia tried to change their hit but couldn't get the PM through. So maybe there are some quite experienced players on the team too.
