Fair points on FF.
Spurge's ban ends today, so we will actually see him before day 1 ends. Linkz should already be around.
Now regarding mafia, if they are two, nacho may have given them a slight strong abilities for the challenges or something like that. I mean last game we were 9 and 3 mafia, now we're 8, if 3 mafia, is highly unlikely (a mislynch and we are done), 2 is more reasonable and to keep balance he may have included something for them.
