Sounds like you need to make a color list.

Yeah that was just my preliminary thoughts on the powers, and I agree we should try to discuss what to do to some extent, but too much of a roadmap will be helpful to the mafia. For all we know 1-2 mafia could be in the active player pool atm. We'll see what other thoughts people have on powers. BTW I think this set up is foreign to most of us. Closest was Gfish's Stranger Things game where some of the roles were posted.

Speaking of which, he's really been MIA.

Just so I have this correct: the "day phase" ends at 9pm then we have until the next real life day at 8PM to submit our actions?

Days are 48 hours, Nights 24.

I still would have asked through PM. I'm not that dumb.

I got that. I was just making sure actions weren't due prior to the night phase as the rules are worded kind of ambiguously as to which 8pm is in reference here:

Is it 8pm prior to the day ending or the 8pm of the night phase?

Asking questions first is better than getting down to the last minute and not knowing.

Look, I'm really far behind on my work and it's the end of the month. So sorry I haven't contributed page long diatribes since between the migraine and work I'm having some troubles actually finding time to post effectively.

(However, yes, I'm in the thread and observing, because I work from home, so I can keep the non-work computer open with a browser for this game regardless of work.)

I'm pretty sure I'm on the record as already having said that we should be conservative for the night phase as a town, but aggressive on the day phase. Just not reckless with one shots. Now, if you want to go round and round and round with a Silver v. Rokk discussion that devours the entire thread, sorry but I don't have time for that.

Also think it's a little funny that after I say "hey, my input will be limited," that people are driving for me as a lynch target because I haven't posted as much as other people. Scapegoat much, folks?

Also, looking at my calendar... it's only Tuesday. We DO, in fact, have another day before the phase ends, you realize?

On the whole doctor/ NK thing, I think it would be better to save N1, purely for a Hail Mary NK or to use the doctor when more people are dead. That said, I do believe every townie should use a power pretty much every night, since with two NKs a night and only ten players there isn't much a point saving.

Well, regarding the self-doctor, I guess it depends on how paranoid the player that has Boomerang feels. If it's someone that feels like the mafia would be gunning for them, by all means doctor tonight. It's not like I've made an entire trilogy of games off of N1 deaths or anything.

Personally, I would wait until later in the game and then use the nightkill as a one-shot on mafia for N3, as by then there will likely be a better chance of nailing a scummer, but that's my .02. Plus a late game (relatively) shift can be more dramatic than it would be on N1. At least that's been what I've seen lately.

This is the way I am looking at this. Someone dies today. Two people die tonight. Someone dies the next day. Two people die the next night. Someone else gets lynched. There are three people left, the game isn't going to last much longer than three nights and that only if we lynch the SK.

And that's a fair point. I just don't like the idea of using a Nightkill on the first night if it is a one-shot. Even waiting another day phase can be a good idea. My recent experiences seeing last-second rezzes swing things dramatically in mafia games might be coloring my judgment.

Which means Boomer is probably going to hit me with the NK tonight, if I don't get scapegoat lynched. C'est la vie.

Man, now I want to make a spreadsheet to figure out the statistical likelihood of hitting a townie N1 with that one-shot kill versus waiting for N2.

I don't think he should ever make an NK the first night. The question is whether he should waste the doctor on himself n1. And I think the answer to that is ... maybe... but it depends on who gets lynched and what happens at night.
