The rules don’t explicitly say multi-votes are disallowed and he didn’t answer [my question](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10564575&postcount=38) about it. So, we’ll see what the first official vote count looks like. What I meant was that the game was looking pretty cool. I hadn’t yet pointed that out yet and wanted storyteller to know that I was impressed with the color so far. :rolleyes: Not everything is a mountain, you know. > [@Mafia: Evil Dead - Signups and Night Zero](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-evil-dead-signups-and-night-zero/476736/238): > > Therefore, > **vote Rapier42** It was an obvious slip and needed to be pointed out. There’s three cases here:1. **ped** is a power role. Deadites are not stupid and knowing who’s Town will easily pick this up as a power role slip. Pointing it out gives our protective roles a possible target. > 2. **ped** is a Deadite. Yay, caught our first scum slip. Let the Town decide if it’s worth lynching over. > 3. **ped** is a vanilla Townie. Well then he’s either going to draw an early Night kill (and better him than a power role) or he’s not. At least by pointing it out, it gives him a chance to respond, and maybe a WIFOM choice for the Deadites.In any case, **ped** ’s reaction (including ignoring me) to the slip accusation is something we can all use to help decide his alignment. Now just wait one cottin-picking minute! You were the one who said that we shouldn’t metagame based on absences! You! Now here you are talking about how I’m “ignoring” you. For your information, I flew all day yesterday and had no computer access last night. How the hell do you think you can use that as an accusation? It seems like you’re grasping at anything available to get an early candidate. If it was any day other than day one I’d vote you, but everyone does that on day one. > [@Mafia: Evil Dead - Signups and Night Zero](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-evil-dead-signups-and-night-zero/476736/230): > > Here’s an idea (not mine, but I kinda like it): > > What if every person states a (random) name in the first post of the day (Or at least once per day) as well as an alignment - for example: > > TARGET: Storyteller: Town > > If I were investigator, the alignment would be true and the name would be of last nights target. In case I were to die, all actions would still be recorded. > If I were any other power role, the “Town” part would be random, but the name would the target of last nights action. > If I were vanilla, the name and alignment would be entirely random. The only reason I’d be posting was to make it easy for an investigator to breadcrumb, and it’d also expose the previous actions of anyone dying or claiming.. Theoretically making it harder for scum to lie. > > Any comments before we begin - good idea? bad idea? Directly opposed? Have you ever read [M2?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=414041) Day one, the group did this. Night one, the scum used that information to kill off the detective. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-evil-dead-day-night-one/477854)._
