-Placing a vote that creates a tie is going to be perceived as scummy-as-all-hell it would seem, considering it functionally saves the person being voted for.

The person being voted for is already trailing in the vote count, so this doesn’t really make sense.

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

I followed up with a revision, and everything is circumstantial, but I’m just trying to imagine a situation with a last minute flurry of ties/votes and how the paranoia and/or blood/mudd in the water might effect perceptions at that time.

in please

[Red_Skeezix]

Man, this game looks awesome. Too bad I don’t have time to play right now

[Idle_Thoughts]

Sure, I’ll play just to be able to say I’ve tried this wacky-sounding idea for a game.

[Mrs_McGinty]

Count me in.

[Wolverine]

I would also like to play.

@Astral_Rejection

Can I play?

Also, to clarify: scum can only communicate at night when it’s night where they are, right? Because it’s technically always night and always day.

Did I screw that up? Why, yes, yes I did. I cut and pasted the rules from a previous game and missed the point about scum communication. Scum will communicate at all times.

Sorry for the mixup.

@Scuba_Ben

sachertorte, will there be any posting restrictions for players during Night or In Transit?

Travelers may post, but can not vote.

@Normal_Phase

In the context of “no arrest”, what does uncontested plurality of votes mean? No votes for anything else at all, or just more than anything else? Plurality of votes cast or of voters present?

Uncontested means no tie. “More than anything else” is a fair statement. No Votes are essentially an “abstain” and do not count in any way.
A Tie with “No Arrest” will arrest the tied player.

[Scuba_Ben]

Aw nuts – I’m going to regret this in the morning. But I’m IN.

What an intriguing rule set.

Not in–my life is complicated enough.

And besides, the one time I tried Mafia, my suspicion that it looks more fun than it is was confirmed.

But if my schedule opens up, I’ll look forward to seeing what happens.

[sachertorte]

Mafia certainly isn’t a game for everyone. Since you find watching fun, I suggest you play along in the forbidden thread (unspoiled). Then you can hone your scum catching skills without having to worry about a lynch mob forming.

That trick never works for me. In the peanut gallery threads, I neither improve Scum-detection skills nor avoid lynch mobs.

[peekercpa]

ok, just read the rules and really only processed about 20 percent.

so yeh baby. let’s get the hoochie koo on.

that means in sach, btw.

[Baffle]

I am totally in; this concept sounds really cool.
