Well they'd both be dead, that was never up for debate. It's just a matter of whether thats considered a stalemate or a loss for the parties involved. I went stalemate since that is more fun than "everybody loses"

I think that's most fitting. In the end, town, scum, and sk all had a say in making sure no party could reasonably achieve its win condition, so a three way stalemate

If they both die its a town win 100%

All threats to the town are dead

Not based on the town win conditions mods send me for mafia games here. Win conditions should be well defined, and if having a member of the town should be a requirement it should be specifically stated

If town win is = All Threats to Town Eliminated

Scum is = Unasailable Control of the Vote

SK is = kill everyone and survive

If everyone dies, then which win conditions are fulfilled?


Town's is fulfilled, so to say they don't win is to say that you hosed up sending them their win condition

Logically that makes sense, but it has never been mentioned in my win condition, so I don't think it is really open for interpretation. Can't change the rules mid game because a weird situation happens

Sure, and if my condition listed that as a requirement I would find that very fair

I mean, I gotta be honest man, if I were town, and town was eliminated, I would assume town lost without even needing that mentioned in the wincon. Kinda feels like trying to lawyer your way into a win, but that's just me, maybe.

well then next time you are town and this happens, hopefully I am on your team to ensure you don't get swindled out of your legitimate yet bizarre win

I do think it's a little pedantic and sort ignores the overall setup and premise of the game but I guess clarifying that isn't a big deal

If we both end up town I am going to mastermind an elaborate scheme so we both lose dramatically.
