@Mod

: You might want to update the third post in addition to #39 to avoid confusion. Thanks.

We could always throw a vote onto someone with no votes as an alternative to unvoting, if you don't want to let someone get hammered or something.

##Vote: Jack

He himself agrees that he's scum. >_>

[SaintKerrigan]

Mod: Is there a reason for not using commas to separate people's names in the vote counts? Because it would be nice if there were.

[farside22]

Looking at this game. those who are bidding on the NK should explain who they are and why they are bidding on the item.
The NK should be used by someone we think is town and who they shot should be talked about as well.
There will be someone who will try to get the body armor. I think that, the cop and any other ability should be avoided, but discussing the nk ability is more for the town side then allowing the scum to have it and control it.

[Andrius]

Re: Votecount

Is there a reason why everyone's name is listed, even if they don't have a vote on them?

Something I've always wondered.

Well, just looking at the NK, someone must have taken out a loan to get it; even the scum couldn't have bid that high solely by themselves, so any player could have taken out a loan to get it, or perhaps the scum wired each other money.

[zoraster]

Nature of how I count votes: in a spreadsheet. As this is the sixth game I have used this system, I have confidence in your ability to figure it out.

I'll add the commas next vote count.

@mod:

What timezone are we working in/what's the current time?

[Zang]

Hi, everybody. I have three pages to read (I didn't think there would be this much pre-game talk.

Also, why is everyone voting? You do realize that you can't unvote.

Because we can change our votes to someone else.

[Zang]

Ok, I see

I thought that when you voted for somebody, you had to keep your vote on them.

[NavyCherub]

Oh, my mistake on the voting thing, though in my defense it was worded strangely. I'm glad we get RVS now, though! ##Vote: FishytheFish for being...fishy...

NavyCherub's is Brock (or is it?)

Actually it's Tatsumi from the football series Giant Killing.

This is an interesting idea in a similar vein to controlling a confirmed vigilante. My only qualms with it is that it relies pretty heavily on the honor system, and mafia isn't exactly known for that kind of thing. I am absolutely not against discussing it though, of course!

man I'm smart.

All times are in EDT (BST-5), and it is in 24-hour format (16:00, not 4:00pm)

Yeah but if someone doesn't shoot who the town suggest then that player is scum or better have a good reason for shooting said player. (I assume scum first)
Town controlls the kill and the lynch = town win.

[farside22]

Mod: Does the mafia group come with their own kill ability? I assume all mafia has a kill ability unless otherwise informed.

[Zajnet]

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=179 is a good place to see the current time in EDT.

[Zajnet]

The ONLY ability that Mafia have to start is the ability to daytalk with their partner. They do not start with the power to kill.
