EPTI suggest you don't allow dead people free reign to post (except for the usual cheerleading.) Also, make sure that people who are playing know that they have to *play to win*, 'cos Mafia sort of blows if one guy torpedoes their own team.

I'm used to just having one lynch and one scum nightkill as standard... this seems pretty wild. | ||

I've got to admit that the setup seems highly dependant on roles and such. I tend to like more minalist setups with just a few roles like cop (townie, tags someone each night to detect if they're town or scum), doc/paramedic, godfather (scum leader, is immune to nightkills and returns town to cop investigations) and vigilante (as you described), and would usually not have very many of these roles extant at all. I don't really get the 'clue' thing, either, do you mean that you drop a few extra hints each day? I dunno, I feel that you should be finding mafia through discussion (i.e. mafia don't want to get each other killed, so they have to be careful with their words; also, since they know who is scum, they're not really *hunting* for mafia and you need to pick 'em apart that way.) more than arbitary things like that. I'm curious, too- can you link me to some of these other games you've played? It sounds like we have very different views of how the game is run. | ||

Are there *no* townies without powers at all? | ||

During night, people send in their night actions and the mod resolves them all; so scum kill people, doctors protect people, cops investigation etc. Then, once they're resolved, day begins. It can be quite short if everyone gets actions in quickly. | ||

Mod, are we allowed to edit and delete posts? I... would be strongly against this. | ||

First and foremost, if editing *is* allowed, then it should frowned upon anyway, so if you catch someone editing their post be sure to call it out, even if they later say it's just for some spelling mistake or whatever. Far more likely scum will want to edit posts than good, loyal townies! Conversly, if you call someone out on editing a post and they haven't actually done it, be prepared for some serious pain. Secondly, if you're a townie, don't lie. Ever. If we catch someone lying, we must lynch them, and lynch them quickly! Only mafiso have reason to lie. Thirdly, if you have any special abilities, that's awesome. Don't tell anyone. Giving away your special abilities is akin to painting a 'kill me' sign on your back for the mafia, who obviously don't want you around. Only disclose your role if it would be immediately useful to do so (for instance, if it looks like you may be lynched and it'd be a waste of your powers, or if you're positive you can out mafia by claiming.) Use them as you see fit, don't let people whine for paramedic protection and give into it, your own judgement is paramount. (unless you're the pardoner, in which case you shouldn't use it pretty much ever unless you think the mayor is scum. If the town has decided to kill someone, don't start being arrogant and thinking that just because you have some role power you deserve to dictate the game, 'cos you don't, and I will treat using this power without an incredibly good reason as a serious scumtell.) Fourthly, I suggest we elect someone who has played mafia in the past to be mayor. I nominate myself (of course), but if anyone else wants to step up, they should. Remember, if you're mayor, you are in a position of power and are difficult to kill; if you don't actually think you'd be capable or likely to contribute strongly to the game, I feel inclined to discourage you from trying. Finally, try to post at least once a day and talk about the situation. Idle comments are generally bad, actually try to instigate some detective work and out some scum. Basically, make it hard for scum themselves to lie low- if we rigorously question and lynch people who don't participate, that forces scum to talk, which makes it more likely they'll say something dumb and reveal their true colours. | ||

I can't for the life of me understand why you'd think lying could be a good idea, though. | ||

Please tell me why you think what I'm saying is wrong. If you don't think it's wrong... why are you doing what you are doing? Why would you vote for SoMuchBetter on the basis of a paint file alone? | ||

It can be said that seriousness is not something that expected early in the game. But, likewise, it shouldn't be spat upon, either. | ||
