> [@AngeloftheNorth](#): > > Sorry, I’m Archangel from Giraffe. I had apparently signed up here under an older nickname years before so I have to go with this one. Oh, hi there. I was confused at a noob declaring not to have read the rules but being afraid of me as scum, now I’m confused that you started off like a bull in a china shop, well done.

I had to read this twice. > [@Nanook\_of\_the\_North\_Shore](#): > > I think the most important part of the third parties is the win condition as stated in the rules. That is, they cannot steal a win from town. If we lynch the last scum, town wins, full stop. Maybe third parties also win, but they can’t stop town. So that’s a big pressure taken off end game, which I’ve seen be derailed by the need to hunt third parties over scum to make sure they don’t win steal. Which rules are you reading? Spreading misinformation? “Some third party players may have exclusive win conditions (ie, win conditions that preclude Town and/or Scum wins), while others may be nonexclusive (that is, able to win with any side).” > [@Mafia Reunion - NIGHT ZERO](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-night-zero/776315/469): > > **Switches may be flipped at Night only, flipping back to “on” every Night. If they affect a Day Power, the next Day will be the power affected. If they affect a Night Power, the current Night will be affected.** There were no N0 actions, right? D1 starts with all switches on? Is this Lakai’s first game? 2 posts toDay in total? A me too vote, and an excuse for inactivity? > [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > In case it was, and it probably was meant for me, it means that in an average of 5 out of 6 games there was at least one Scum in the bottom three posters. (Except in cases where there was a tie, in which case it was one of the bottom four or five posters, as now.) OK, that’s surprising, but interesting. Random selection would usually give 1 scum out of 4, 1/3 is slightly better odds - but honestly cannot be much fun or satisfaction for you. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-one/776577)._
