And if you have any influence, **BlasterMaster** , could you get this part of the rules appended to the Democratic National Party’s rules before next year? _If at the end of the day two or more candidates are tied, the day will be extended 12-hours. During that time, you may change your vote as often as you like, but you may only change it to one of the candidates who was in the tie. If two or more candidates are still tied at the end of the extended period, the lynchee will be selected randomly from the tied candidates._ ---

[QUOTE=Queuing] Cool, thanks. It is Canada Day this weekend, which means a long weekend! I don’t think my GF would be very impressed if I was on my laptop trying to find a hotspot during the festivities in Ottawa. I will be away Friday evening until Monday evening. Oh, and I promise that I won’t get in a fight with every player at some point this time 🙂 [/QUOTE] And I’ll try to leave out the algebra 😛 Thanks for the reservation; I’m in. It’ll give me something to do while I’m designing Mafia VIII: With Pirates, Ninjas and Undead. 😃 ---

Curse you Hal! My joke doesn’t make sense. I was confused about the roles…I thought there was more than one psychopath. Oh well. So if all of the Cultists are dead and there are still Non-Believers, the Crusader loses? –FCOD ---

[QUOTE=ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies] I’m tempted to sign on again, but I’m also willing to leave room for some fresh meat… [/QUOTE] If you’d prefer to leave it open to newer players, I can make you sub #1, which will almost certainly be needed anyway. Or, you can just sign up and skip the whole not playing for a few days part. 😉 ---

Ok I’m in. And now I’m inclined to share with you all my current personal hell… [QUOTE=A cheer that I still remember from High School. Please, Og, make it stop going through my head. (no, I was not a cheerleader, they were our “arch rivals” and it was repeated often enough to curse me for the rest of my life.] Hey Crusaders…Hey Crusaders…Get out of our way. _clap clap_ You better move, yeah move, 'cause today is the day. _clap clap_ Our engine is fired up. _clap clap_ We’re primed for victory. _clap clap_ Hey Crusaders…Hey Crusaders…defeat’s your destiny. [/QUOTE] :smack: :o :dubious: And since the roles are yet to be assigned, no preconceived notions please. I have a hard enough time dealing with the whole “scummy” screen name stigma. 😛 ---

[QUOTE=Blaster Master] **Ending Conditions:** The Town wins if there are no Cultists remaining. All Pro-Town roles win (special roles excepted). All Cultists lose. The Cultists win if they equal or exceed 50% of the Town population. All Non-Cultists lose. The Crusader wins if no Cultists or Non-Believers remain and the crusader killed at least one Cultist or Non-Believer. All Believers win. **The Non-Believers win if there are no Cultists remaining and the Believers equal or exceed 50% of the Town population. Believers and Cultists lose.** The Psychopath wins with the Non-Believers if he is not activated. If he is activated, he must remain alive. All Believers and Cultists lose. [/QUOTE] Should the bolded part of that read in part, “…and the Non-believers equal or exceed 50% of the Town…”? ---
