Stop doing 48 hour nights

[Cook]

i agree i will never make a 48 hour night again

all of mine will now be 49 hour nights (/j)

Title.

24 hour nights should be standard.

would you accept a 1 hour night

[Cook]

hmm. what do you think about regularly-scheduled mafia games that fire on a long weekend and finish by the end of it

reminder that Instant Night exists. i think you could probably run a game like it in this manner:

• 10 day days, 24 hour nights
  
• You may premove your power roles, and scum partners/mason buddies are allowed to proxy night actions for you if you give them prior permission
  
• Thread is automatically unlocked after the 24-hour period in a "Dawn" phase, but the day does not start until night actions have been resolved

this would keep the game moving forward, ideally, since discussion could still happen even if replacements needed to be found, or the mod is taking awhile to resolve night actions, etc.

it also means the night phase is more or less a "double-check" phase, wherein you can verify that you really want to do the move that you're planning

you probably shouldn't accept action submissions after the 24 hour period. you might need to lengthen the 24 hour period if someone (anyone in the playerlist, not just a night actor, to prevent angleshooting) is on V/LA so they can submit night actions

my next game is a 36 hour night game

[Cook]

No night phases, pre-submit night actions

i ran this as a marathon game it was called predestination

[Cook]

I think default fast nights can be taken advantage of by some people to town clear players in the game when they know said players couldn't have checked in to submit night actions.

All players (including VTs) still have to opt in to fast night each night, to prevent any possible leaks like this. That part wouldn't change.

It would be a lot of PMs, but I guess you could do it with PTs if you're really worried about that.

do it with a google form

"who are u"
"what night is it"
"do u want fast night"
"are u sure"

then mafia can just enter 13 phony fast night requests and run circles around the PRs, changing the problem instead to cheating instead of angleshooting

hope this helps

actually you might be thinking of Instant Night which is cool in its own right

[Cook]

predestination was you /confirmed with night choices for every night

if your target was invalid or you didn't have a PR your choices didn't count

[Cook]

i made it three sentences in before realizing what thread i was in

a two-options solution seems like the best way to do it, i don't know why koba wants the solution to be the elimination of the 48-hour night option that's already existing. it's already here, you're going to bring instability to this site if you make these radical changes.
