Argh, now you all point it out that votes stay until removed instead of the normal voting. I did read the rules, but it already slipped my mind. Not a good thing to do in a Mafia game! Further musings on Alpha/Beta: since in the color Deadites are possessed people\*, it’s not unlikely they have that status as well. But even if the Deadites wouldn’t lie, not sure how that helps us. On re-reading the rules: I think any mass claim is dangerous since the Deadites can communicate Day and Night off board, so can manipulate it easy. [QUOTE=Pleonast] I am in favor of every player naming their putative target from the previous Night [/QUOTE] I see your “Very risky!” and “Townies need not and should not lie” and raise you the following scenario: Deadites fail to kill and anyone who targeted their target is possibly the Doctor! Not very likely (1/27 \* 1/27 for Night 1), but I think it’s worse than what you accused **Rapier42** off, so to get my first vote in: **Vote Pleonast** Real night in the Netherlands now, signing off for now. \*) Based on my read of the Evil Dead plot, haven’t seen it. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-evil-dead-signups-and-night-zero/476736)._
