You have the idea correct; however, it is not true in this specific case because of the "you possess that has
more than one
use remaining" clause, which would keep it from working if you only had Night-kill x 1.
I'm sorry,
Mod
. I'm still confused. Could you give me an example, please? Just from any random power.

In regards to Regfan's
post 31, I agree 100% with his Efficiency Bonus and mostly with his other comments. The town does not need to drag its feet about lynches, and Transfers should be fairly open. I mean, if you think a player is town enough to transfer funds to, then you should be able to state that in the thread. I'm not sure if we should be completely open with how many funds are being transferred, but that should be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Investing should mostly be left up to the individual unless we're really planning something. I doubt most players are going to decide to invest if only because there is probably a good split between people (as we can already see with the bidding) who are aiming for early powers and those who aren't.
I have no opinion in regards to advertising. I mean, if you're considering putting money towards advertising, then I'm sure you have a reason to do so. My initial impression of it is that it does seem unnecessary because there are so many powers on the list already to choose from. But, you know, that's just me.
Regfan 34 wrote:Nightkill should be only aimed at if you're willing to place all your funds on it and aiming for nothing else, this is something I would only recommend for people considering the back-up of investment. The perfect thing with this occuring is that the players who missed it but recieved full investment will likely be able to snatch this from the mafia tommorow.
Another thing to consider is that spending money on NK bidding may drain money from the scum's collective fund pool. If someone felt they weren't very confident in their abilities as a PR, this may be a good way to spend money (also Transfers should be considered).

mal 41 wrote:really who the heck is bidding for setup information?
As Pere noted, there's a lot of information we can gather with this. Size of the scumteam. Funds of the scumteam. Whether there is a third-party role or not. etc.
It probably won't be quite as useful as we start to learn more about the setup later in the game, but it can be really helpful right now. Remember that the scum knows a lot more about the setup than we do right now.

IceGuy 48 wrote:We should somehow coordinate our bids to not overbid ourselves. I propose claiming of what we're bidding on, so every ability is only bid on by one player.
I tentatively support this until/unless someone thinks of an issue with this. IceGuy is right about the idea that the town should NOT be having bidding wars over the same powers if at all possible.

I don't mind doing something like this. Remember that scum can probably transfer funds between themselves though, so I doubt that we'll be able to pull this off. That being said, it will force to make a decision to drain a significant portion of their funds on it (keeping them from being as competitive elsewhere in the Marketplace).

Regfan 67 wrote:If we do somehow manage to grab hold of night kill today it should be claimed out loud and then vig-voted to determine who should be shot.
No, I will not accept this. If you guys want me to do this, then I will not necessarily be listening to any winner of a "vig-vote". I would take it into consideration, but the kill would be decided by me. I would also be willing to inform the town
who
I killed after the fact, of course.
The reason I won't submit to a vig-vote is twofold. First, I don't want the scum/any other anti-town faction(s) to know who I am going to kill. Second, it would be better on the town in regards to how they're going to be able to read my alignment through my kill. Third, scum will have an influence on a vig-vote, but they wouldn't have an influence on a kill left ultimately up to me. Obviously the rest of you don't know that to be true, but then we go back to my second and first points: I plan to inform the town who I shot after it happens and my taking full responsibility for the shot would be more valuable in the town gauging my alignment than if I were to leave it up to a vig-vote alone.
So, you know, if you don't accept the above, then you don't want me to be bidding on the NK.

- Random thought. Mass claim amount of starting cash?
- I would not rely on the likeliness/unlikeliness of a third-party until we have more information.
- No, not interested in this. This is one of the few things we have over the scum. Let's just assume everyone has 100 dollars for the time being.
