other jargon that may be helpful to new players: the "flip" is when a player dies and the mod reveals their alignment. such a player is said to be "flipped." This often the only way alignment is truly confirmed. "Claim" is word that has specific meaning in a game, it means to identify what your own role is. A "softclaim" is an allusion to having a role, a "hardclaim" is specifically saying that you have a role.

Perhaps a vocab section in the OP would be useful?

I really liked the cult mechanic in my first game - Exakt Science's Skyrim Mafia. It may have been skewed towards scum bc town didn't know there were 2 cults, let alone even 1.

It was a super fun game and an awesome win, even though Rarity and I didn't manage to recruit even one person until like the last day or two.

That game really was massively unbalanced. Town didn't know enough about the setup and the town SK they were given was too easy to set up as a, well an SK. At the same time I borked up every recruit attempt so they could have had it way worse and I did love that the mechanic let Meinberg gift me the win and then me to recruit him so he got it too :v:

Something I've been thinking lately is the always execute every day rule.

I know the math on it, but that doesn't take into account the actual reads you have on people. There's been a few times where I've been in games close to the deadline and people only have a few viable picks for votes and people vote somebody that don't really think is scum but instead vote because there needs to be an execution. This creates a really easy situation for scum to vote without responsibility. Additionally, if your read was worth a drat in the first place you're down a town you wouldn't be if you didn't just shrug and vote with the crowd.

What are the thoughts on this?

I totally agree with this. If you're convinced that someone is town then don't vote to lynch them. It's better to no lynch than lynch town and at the end of the day you're not the only person who can drop the hammer so you're only responsible for what you do. Even though it sometimes bites me in the rear end I'm still willing to take a stand to protect someone.

Is there ever value for having a death miller in a game? Trying to brainstorm, and I don't really see any tactical advantage in a game's balance for it. Is it just mod fuckery?

It's the easiest way of tasting those sweet mafia player tears

Who would play Quote Mafia, where your role is a prolific mafia player, and you can only text-communicate by quoting a post of that player's, or parts of a quote?

I've been wanting to play a game with a voluntary PR where all my posts are quotes from derp but I just haven't found the right game yet :(

Sigh ... I need a replacement for Quantum Mafia - Rarity broke her wrist and needs to sub out. Still Night 0, nothing done yet.

Sorry! I hope it goes well, it sounds like an awesome concept!

Personally, I'd be up for playing in a small game alongside Ecco's. A lot of us play in more than one game at a time.

Speaking of replacements, we probably need at least one, maybe even two in the big games Asiina and I are hosting
