I agree with Dr.H. that there is really no difference in pressure between throwing your vote on someone or making a solid case. I tend to use the vote to show that I mean it and really do think that player is scum. However, the same effect is obtained by simply ending the thread with "this guy is clearly scum and needs to die" or something similar.

However, I see no actual difference between "locked votes" and instant majority. Effectively by disallowing vote switching you create an instant majority scenario. Sure, the day doesn't end, but anybody voting after the majority cannot effect any change and any discussion is pointless. It's basically instant majority with a period of ineffective discussion tagged on its end.

You could make it to where you can only change your vote once or something to avoid the scenarios that Kurumi and Acro talk about.

Okay, lets talk logistics. How are we going to disseminate this podcast after making the recordings? Will there be twitch vods? Audio downloads? What media will we use to share our knowledge with the world?

I'm going to record it using garage band. I want SOME level of quality control, and it allows me to eliminate static and other annoying stuff. I'm not sure what hosting site is best for an upload, but I'll take all suggestions.

BTW, if anyone wants to do a sound-test, get on skype.

How long is it going to be? You could always just upload it to Youtube.

Actually I'll just upload it on SoundCloud. Has worked for me in the past with non-podcast things.

HAD a podcast - it was shitty and I got way into Mafia and started wishing I was doing a Mafia podcast instead so we just kinda quit doing it.

Guys the internet is painfully devoid of podcasts devoted to this game when there's a podcast for virtually every other topic in the world. I want to stress again that this is a good idea and will be fervently trying to keep this idea afloat in any way I can.

There's a huge Mafia community worldwide and so many members of it have NO IDEA how to play this game properly. If even a quarter of them tuned into this regularly, that's a huge number.

I'd love to participate but I don't think I'm qualified enough plus I have work so I'm very excited to hear the first one about Duel Mafia =)

I'll upload it sometime tomorrow or Friday - basically we talked (or tried to talk) about Duel Mini for an hour, but there was very little to analyze since it was a really simple game (inactive scum, active town, GG). Also, it's just really hard to provide any real in-depth analysis without...
a) lots of preparation and structure to the podcast
b) only sound and no means to look at posts

Though as Thrawn mentioned, the conversation actually got really good AFTER I stopped recording, mostly because we started talking about a range of other topics.

Overall a promising concept, but Duel Mini wasn't a good game to discuss.

I disagree - what better time to talk about winning scum play than after a crushing scum defeat?! UGH I wish I could have been there.

ROFL. Well I screwed up something and apparently my mic didn't record. So I have the sound file of everyone talking but me =P

Yeah, in retrospect there were some better topics for discussion, but the whole thing was very spontaneous. Some more preparation would have done a lot of good.

Though in general, it seems like the "podcast" format is less appropriate for specific analysis, and MUCH better for general topics like "winning scumplay" or "scumhunting strategies." It makes for much better and engaging content (as evidenced by Thrawn above).

If you want to do specific analysis, having a "video-cast" on something like Google Hangout (where you can screenshare posts and whatnot) is a better format.

For audio only, it's probably best to keep it general.
