The fact we did jack all to Slam pretty much sets precedence we do jack all to you. This is what I told LS

I guess but did he keep posting knowing it was after deadline? Scum could fake that sort of thing I think

This was also a problem for the recently ended NSM10. I should have waited until Sunday or even after the so-called Memorial Day. Day 1 was a lot more dead than it ever should have been.

To improve this and make more consistent - modkill after deadline rule will be consistent with the timestamp of xx:01. Therefore there is no debate regardless when a host says stop posting could be variable.

2 Time cycle: Oats asked me if a day could be shortened for a single day. I know you can never shorten days mid-day but could this be done the night before? I was told that changing day cycles are usually permanent.

Now onto the hosting/post-game comments. Several issues arose that I think feedback might be helpful for.

General acknowledgements (mea culpa/stuff that I'll change for next time)
1 Replacements do not reset votes - modkills do.
This was in reference to Damdred's replacement, Oats should have started with 4 votes. It was not alignment indicative but it was pointed in Obs QT that Sandroba's thinking was clouded because of it.

2 Do not start games on holiday weekends (major holiday in many countries which I was unaware of)
This was also a problem for the recently ended NSM10. I should have waited until Sunday or even after the so-called Memorial Day. Day 1 was a lot more dead than it ever should have been.

3 Setup issues - this is a tossup
First, no more third parties for minis. The survivor role was universally panned, maybe for larger games it makes sense but never again for 13 players. This is not a reflection on how VA played the role, but I can understand the arguments against it regardless who drew it.
Second was whether mafia should have had an untrackable GF with a wanderer already in the game. It didn't matter in this game, but could have mattered in different situations. If I had to do it again though I'd have given mafia the RB and two vanilla scum.

4 Modkills
Slam and prplhz posting after the deadline - prplhz was during the night and Slam was seconds after my own prompt, not to mention Rasputin posting at 00:01 just before we declare mafia victory. LS queried on her, but I said not to modkill especially since it was before our prompt. To improve this and make more consistent - modkill after deadline rule will be consistent with the timestamp of xx:01. Therefore there is no debate regardless when a host says stop posting could be variable.

Questions for everyone

1 Vote counts - were they done often enough?

2 Time cycle: Oats asked me if a day could be shortened for a single day. I know you can never shorten days mid-day but could this be done the night before? I was told that changing day cycles are usually permanent.

3 Future games - Night 0 never flies in a mini, right? (I've never played video mafia so IDK)

4 Activity dips in the summer from what I hear - should posting requirements be raised? What has been done in the past?

5 Should I consider a closed setup or does this not matter?

There were no behaviour issues this game. Replacements - thank you for volunteering.

Anything I missed give me a shout!
Anything you want to add, chime on in.

I did not know extending phases was possible. I know shortening them was never permitted.

I don't think extending the phase is a good thing though, that's historically very town favoured as more discussion is always better. I personally wouldn't do it.
