Thats why the inactive route is the better choice. Maybe we should wait a bit and get a better look at who's going to be useless in this game and spare L. I guarantee 2-3 idiots are going to stroll in here in about 6 hours saying "oh hey just saw the game started" or "oh I was so busy with schoolwork I had no time. I guess I'll check up on the thread now."

Figuring out who can nuke isn't really the issue since I don't believe it matters whether or not you can nuke or not. It doesn't guarantee anyone is town or mafia aligned.

as far as someone nuking without town consensus, how about they get nuked by the person above/below them in the list? this would help in beginning to determine who may have what "powers".

also, there's all this discussion about how to punish someone for nuking without town consensus, but no discussion on how we decide who does nuke. and how to figure out who has nuking capabilities. i think some altered form of 789/ace's plan in the caller game might be useful here.

so when the town decides person A needs to be nuked, how do we stop persons B-J from all firing a nuke @ him and ending the game?

Majority votes = death. Once a majority of the players in the game vote on a person that player will be killed as soon as I notice the lynching vote. However, since no one can be lynched until any nukes have landed you will have a chance to change votes before it strikes. You vote for a player in the thread by typing ##vote: player in bold. If you wish to not vote, you can but you must be posting. Remember that not voting can have consequences also.Any other format will not be counted. You can vote for yourself if you're crazy enough to do so. Needless to say, if no nukes are in the air and a player reaches majority vote they are instantly lynched. If a majority of votes isn't reached the day ends in a no lynch.

well then, it's time to decide how many nukes are going to be lobbed then, aye?

there needs to be an established game plan, asap. if there isn't, as soon as the first nuke is launched, there's going to be mass-hysteria and confusion. mafia will take advtange of this. there must be a plan of action that can be carried out right away if/when this happens, and people need to know the consequences for their actions.

otherwise, this is what's going to happen:

person A: ##nuke your mafia ass, person B.
person B: oh hell nah, ##nuke your ass back, person A.
mafia 1: wth, person A and person B, what y'all doing? ##nuke both your hoe asses.


this needs to be decided and set in stone RIGHT AWAY. if a nuke is launched before it is, give up all hope of town order as far as nuking goes.

@ this point, i haven't see a single reason why someone wouldn't nuke. someone could do it, and say oopsie daisy, kill me if you want. and then you have to convince 12 people to lynch this lone wolf. and who knows how many mafia are even in this game who can screw with that count?

i applaud the efforts of zona and whoever else so far, but we need faster action.

As to the idea of retaliation against a player who has an itchy trigger finger, we have the perfect form of retaliation. We lynch them. Or to put it more bluntly

Any player launching a nuke against another without at the very least providing coherent argument for doing so will be lynched. Furthermore the only instance whereby we would launch against a player who acts in this way would be if we already have a good candidate for lynching, then we will nuke or multiple nuke them

What I am worried about is that Mafia will not adopt lurker policy due to Ace's harsh mod-kill policy. Because of mandatory 1 post per day and one has to vote within the thread, it will be really hard for anyone to try to be inactive without drawing town attention onto themselves. I do recommend waiting for everyone to make their first post, but lynching due to inactivity should only apply when there are absolutely no suspect present.

we have to think about this if we're trying to avoid chaos.

I have to disagree.... if someone nukes without any good reason, the town can just anti-nuke it, no harm done, other than wasting the protection. The person who did it will get bitched out for a while and perhaps lynched/nuked.

I said in an earlier post that at least a portion of anti-nukes needs to be saved for the late game in case mafia decides that the numbers are in their favor and tries to nuking to finish off most of the remaining town members. If we had a policy of always spending anti-nukes on every nuke that is launched, we could go into the late game having used most or all of them up. Perhaps mafia could even launch fake nukes early on to consume anti-nukes just for this purpose.


@Ver, I do think my plan is superior and would definitely be happy if my plan was "set in stone" but I'm not going to be like incognito and just declare it to be so. Other town members are welcome to consider it and point out flaws in it, as L did with the first version.

@XeliN. If we decided only to lynch nuke-initiators, what if two people initiate with nukes over the course of one day? Plus lynching is a lot less reliable, and needs a lot more coordination to pull off than revenge-nuking. If you can get the entire town on board with the idea to lynch the first nuke initiator and then revenge-nuke any subsequent ones, then that would be an improvement to the plan. But I suspect with a closed setup game like this there's probably some roles with extra hidden votes or some other way to mess with lynch votes.
