When I play seriously, this is a lot bigger of a timesink than I'm putting in now. I don't like to play anything less than seriously when I'm playing though. If I do, things just don't turn out well. As far as my skill level goes, I think I'm probably going to be rusty and not as good as people give me credit for (skill levels have increased since I played last and I'm not entirely sure how far I can push people), but I guess I won't complain if I get the Ace treatment.
My exams are next week and the week after, which will be during game time. There literally is no way the timing of this game could be any worse as far as getting me to play goes.

I hope this is making sense to you. If anyone has any questions about the Bill Murray plan of town success let me know. This plan will help the town as it will be putting mafia players in vulnerable "killee" positions in which they would potentially lynch the "killer". We use the assassins to win as a town. They COUNT as town people, so assassins will want the town to win. It will also be giving them chances to win the game for theirselves through killing other assassins and finding assassins that they can kill at any time during the night that we aren't asking them to kill for us. If they find an assassin, they can breadcrumb a message to us previously or something to let us know BEFORE they do the action that they will be killing an alternate person (this will guarantee that they stay town as we let them go towards their goal while we go towards our goal together). I don't want assassins to claim at first, but it will become obvious after the first 2 cycles on who they are anyways, so we can be a lot more organized after the first couple day/night cycles.

That's still a work in progress. Come back later!

Watch Foolishness be mafia for the 4th time in a row. I would lol. (:

You know what? Let's do this. I'm in.

Yea, and if the game doesn't end, does the assasin have to stay alive for the remainder of the game?

No. It will either be the assassin is taken out of the game upon winning or the game ends. Still working through the implications of each.

The game should not end if an assassin wins. Otherwise the mafia and town could lose based on events that are very hard for them to control.
If the game ended with a loss for mafia and town if an assassin wins, then the town and mafia have to prevent assassins from successfully killing each other, or somehow engineer a night where all the remaining assassins die simultaneously. Not only is either of these a very difficult task, they both are major diversions to both the town and mafia's primary goal.

That is one of the considerations. The other is that we don't want the assassins to feel like they have a useless role (kinda like the VI which was just taken out of the game in Caller's first 2 games). Either way, if the game ends when they win, there will be more assassins in the game to try and mitigate the concerns you talked about.

This is to prevent completely screwing up time cycles, since TL is a worldwide community, and people can't be here all at the same time.

Oh, sorry. The game continues for town and mafia.
Edit: this may still change.

Yeah, jesus christ, especially considering all the modkills I had to deal with the first two games.
On the other hand, it was kinda awesome in Incognito's game how I beat the other mafia team even though my mafia team had more members modkilled than the other.

do you plan on starting relatively close to when we get 25, or waiting to see if we can get a few more after that?
