The FERROUS WHEEL was the best weapon ever why would you want to hide it.
But in all seriousness, I do my absolute best (and my sense for it has sharpened over time) to ensure the For Fun flavor does not give away serious hints to things. I decided to incorporate a couple of lynched and other "deceased" characters (example: Lowell) at some points as a means of making a more interesting narrative. I do feel the flavor-heavy narratives tend to fall into really similar archetypes, and it seems taking a different approach to storytelling in mafia games paid off in this one.
The flavor thing was mostly a mechanical thing (meant to be an overabundance of useless information), and didn't have much involvement in the day start and end flavor (save for the housefires and possibly the daykill flavor, which I need to tweak how I handle the flashiness of daykills as to avoid accidentally giving things away).
