This came up in a recent game, and I'm kinda curious about the thought behind it as no one seemed to feel it was weird but me. What is the point of claiming, but not full claiming, in some contexts? We had a player claim they knew, undoubtedly, that a player was scum but they would not reveal their actual role. Claiming you know someone will for sure flip scum seems like a great way to get yourself targeted for the NK, so why not fullclaim then and there?

Is there ever value for having a death miller in a game? Trying to brainstorm, and I don't really see any tactical advantage in a game's balance for it. Is it just mod fuckery?

I just played a game with a vengeful Miller and it was really hilarious in the end.

I'm having an issue with votefinder. On the votecount tab, it's stuck on unresolved votes. If I choose any option from the dropdown, nothing happens. I've hit update and it will work for that instance, but if I go back to the webpage later it will be stuck on the unresolved votes again.

Phone posting so this may be kinda brief but

You could start running signups at any point, although depending on how many games are active at the time you may be hard pressed to fill your game especially if it is a larger game. For the most part people do just fire off games when they want to, but occasionally there are times when most people don't post new games (we just had a massive 50 player game going so there was a big drop in games recruiting at that time, for example)

As for games you can be in simultaneously, that's up to you. I play in every single active game all the time because my job is quiet and I can post during work, but others will limit themselves to one or two games at a time. As long as you can contribute at a level that makes you happy, go wild.

The clue giver role sounds interesting, I've never played with a role like that but there isn't really anything preventing you from making that a thing if you choose to for your game. We aren't strict on what roles are allowed and what aren't.

We can communicate via email if absolutely necessary, but it's generally via PMs and if a user doesn't have them but wants to play we usually end up getting them platinum so they can.

Yeah it's hard to say how many active games is a good amount. Small (under 20 players) and Large games change that variable as well. The best way to find out is to throw something out and see if it gets filled!

I think it was Tomm? who tried to run a game where one role was the main gimmick and it got killed d1 and things were messed up from there. IMO start with what kind of game you'd like to run, think of 3-5 roles, and branch from there. the reason you see so many mafia games that are based on other forms of media is because it really makes it easy to let the flavor lend a direction (although not dictate) roles
