As we learned, even roleblockers died so, y'know, probably a good thing Sinestro was around to stop The Vision for a few nights.

It was pretty funny. I suggested that Cur and DocDoom should have the same target in case one of them targeted an auto-kill person. I put forth DarkCorsair. But it turned out they had both originally targeted you.

That would have done a number on your team rather quickly.

Here's a query - as a mod, do you tell players if they've been roleblocked?

I was really psyched about my Alien mafia, but it's so complicated, and I really don't think it's a good idea to make that the first one I run.

I might do Avengers.

I generally do. Even if its not in the Write-Up, I think the player should realize they failed on a given night. After all, if I walked out and ran into a wall or other obstacle, I would know it, even if the other players did not.

Ah, a game where I was genuinely harmless. I had the awesome 2x vote power, which is a bit less awesome when everyone in your faction is still alive and voting in the same sensible way you are.

Fair enough. Heya - when does the night phase on the JSA game end? I'm thinking of running the FF phases alternating with yours, so when you're at night, I'm at day, etc. To lessen any confusion.

My night phase ends at about 11:30 PM. Alternating sounds like a great idea, actually. Lets people focus on fewer games at a time, I would think.

Sidenote to those reading: If you're in my game(s) and your PM is not in yet, you should do that. Its a good idea, I promise.

Just to warn, I've tried doing this in the past - for example, alternating Muppets with Arkham's phases - but due to some people extending phases, the inherent "molasses syndrome" when it comes to some folks getting their PM's sent in, etc. it actually proves a bit trickier than it initially sounds. If you two are coordinating though it should go much smoother.

Thanks for the heads up, Rokk. This is the kind of advice that the thread is here for. TB, let's stay in touch about phase timing as much as possible, and see if we can't keep things a little sane in this sea of Mafia.

Sounds good. We'll see if we can make it work. I'm still waiting on PMs as well, and since I havent set a deadline to end my night phase, I think it can work.

I imagine, Dark, that you're going to have a bit of a wait on your hands being you set Night Phase to last about 48 hours (you realize your write-up had said it would end Tuesday, right? ). People will drag out sending in PM's.

I've been trying to implement bonuses to award those that get their PM's in on time but I'm not sure about how well the idea is received (haven't really had feedback on it). Then again, I'm also the grinch that set up "bad things happen if you No Lynch too much" so maybe I'm just too antsy for things to happen in these games.

Curse you and your observation of my errors, Krinn! Now, in fairness to my players, I have to wait it out. Here's hoping I get them all early. That's what I get for typing it up too quickly. Ah well.

Alright, I just want some opinions. What are some decent powers townies can have besides tracking/double voting?
