I mean yeah but come on I've been talking for a while about opening a game today.

You also almost always have a game running though right? I think the community can support a few games taking sign ups, even if it doesn't happen instantly.

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?

On the other hand voting for information is bad too.

At the start if the next day you know some people were so strongly convinced of Capps innocence that they wouldn't vote. Those people then have a need to explain why and who should be voted for instead. You can move on. Obviously it shouldn't be done frivolously but I disagree that there's never a place for it.

I guess one of the implied things I'm complaining about is late day pushes without much previous content to work with.

I've got some good roles in my back pocket, but I never want to talk about them until they've seen play because I think some roles benefit from surprise.

I think that tends to happen with quirky mechanics like that.

I feel like the cop you can't nk could give trouble there but u guess I'll have to look at that more.

I meant because of the backups, not the doc.

The answer is that the scum team roleblocks the cop every night but it still feels wonky.

I'm having an issue with votefinder. On the votecount tab, it's stuck on unresolved votes. If I choose any option from the dropdown, nothing happens. I've hit update and it will work for that instance, but if I go back to the webpage later it will be stuck on the unresolved votes again.

Huh, votefinder is broken now and I can mess with it anymore. Thanks

Not taking sign ups, but I forgot to throw a link to Milton, which might be an interesting read
