There should be a version of Mafia where the citizens have to find and lynch the evil cabal that invented Daylight Saving Time.

We took care of Daylight Savings Time here in Arizona. We just ignore it and go about our business. We stay on MST all year around.

I’ve only played in one game so far, so I’m among the inexperienced players. Here’s hoping I can improve my play. While I lasted late into the game, I lost and wasn’t able to make the case against scum when it mattered most.

I’ve played plenty of hidden traitor tabletop games like Battlestar Galactica though, but I’m never the cylon. (Really. I’ve been a sympathetic human before, but never an actual cylon.)

Daylight savings time doesn’t save us any more daylight. It only moves it around a bit to confuse us townies and make it easier for the wolves to sneak in an early morning kill while we all sleep in or stay up too late. Not a cylon.
