Alright guys, when I get home I'll send my doc to Ecco and I'll start as soon as possible after that.

Special Rules

Hiipfire and Epsilon Plus, I want you guys to try to post like 15 or 20 times for each game day. Actually with each vote finder update I'll announce which of you has more posts. I hope your natural sense of competition will encourage you.

Anyway, this has no mechanical effect on the game and I won't be enforcing a minimum post count.

This will be easy. I'm working under a self-imposed rule that I only participate in one game at a time to insure High Quality Posting.

I did that for a year and found it really helped keep Mafia fun for me.

Yes, I have this rule as well. I am currently in three games. I think I have a problem.

However, I'm signed up for three games.

Role PMs out. Votefinder up soon. I'm still finishing the docs up so be patient.

The voting rooms are anonymous places and your pm should specify which column to post in.

You cannot send your ballots to yourself, but you can vote for a power to be used on yourself.

Oh! interesting. So the person who gets the most votes gets euphemized regardless of if they have majority or not?

What happens if there's a tie?

Correct.

if the vote leaders are tied 5-5 the first target to reach 5 will be executed. Is that clear?

I'd guess it go to whatever result got to that number first, like how plurality works for the vote out.

I'm town, and I have two powers available.

First, my ability to reason.

Second, my ability to vote.

I can even use both at once. Suck on that, action economy!

A thought: should we publicly claim who we're passing ballots to? I can kind of envision scum getting their hands on the majority of ballots and then endlessly passing them around to themselves. Public ballot passing claims might keep that from happening.

Nah I actually did gloss over that part of the rules.

And on re-reading the rules... it's looking like there's no mod confirmation on what the three powers are?

This suggests at least one power is beneficial to the target?

I don't want to have us claim which group we're in but scum probably can figure this out pretty quickly since they've got 3/4(?) people probably scattered throughout the voting groups already, so I think it'd benefit town to figure it out

Yeah which is kind of surprising. I'm sure it will come out pretty quickly though.

Confirmed.

One person from each group should just bite the bullet and say what the powers are.

I'm in the roleblocker room.
