I think the setup comes down to Day 1. If there's a mislynch, Mafia is golden. If Town correctly lynches Day 1, Mafia still has a chance, but much less of one.
Osie - "I have the feeling that Rhand is going to get on, see Tom is Emperor, and die a little inside."
Rhand - "nooooooo
Do I have a suicide option?"
That said, it's probably relatively even... I think?
2 mislynches and a nightkill -> Mafia win.
D1 mislynch leads to possible win D2, even if mafia is lynched correctly.
D1 lynch, D2 mislynch -> Comes down to cases, assuming correct NKs (which is quite an assumption). 1/3 mislynch case, mafia might just win. 2/3 mislynch case, mafia has to survive D3.
0 mislynch -> Town win.
The chance of mislynches is reasonably high though, so the mafia has a reasonable chance. It's very much down to the players.
Also, this was based off of the Emperor M:tG format, in which there are two teams, each with 1 emperor and 2 generals, and the generals have a limited range of influence towards the generals on the same side of the emperors as themselves until those generals are dead, at which point they can go after the Emperor.
Scum got onto the back foot early email just couldn’t recover, though it is interesting that if Dawning had been lynched, pod could have attempted the hero shot on Tom and won.
vote Pod360
I'll think about this more tomorrow before EOD but this is where I'm at now.

With 5 players, it takes 3 to lynch.

Kami is an old-timer from here. He was an active player when I started playing.
(Sorry Kami, I blew your cover)
kinda wish we mislynched D1 to play with higher stakes. for the IC to out scum with his presence is OP.
Be grateful, always."
I ruined our chances by not being here.
I do think I would’ve made the same opening post as town tho.
Overall quick game and looked fun!
Some possible fixes:
Make the double-kill happen no matter the number of scum.
Allow the mafia to kill the Emperor in the same night as the relevant guard.
