Vanilla games take longer. The lack of multiple killing roles and stuff makes the death count lower.

My game went about as long as it could go because the Vig was neutralized immediately, and then it went all the way down to three player LYLO, but yes, vanilla games do generally take longer.
There also was no third party in ghug's game

Wait there is a third party here?
That ain't vanilla then.

right so this is basic math. lets say by some crazy turn of events we lynch arsonist day 1, and mafia roleblocks and nightkills the vig N1 before hes ever shot. This is WCS because now its

21 players
16 Town vs 5 Mafia
and no matter what else happens only 1 person dies per night, at a rate of 2 people dying every phase

Day 2 -1
Night 1 -1
=19 players still alive after 5 days of playing.

Day 3 -1
Night 3 -1

17 plays still alive after 8 days of playing

Day 4 -1
Night 4 -1

15 players alive after 11 days of playing


Day 5 -1
Night 5 -1

13 players are still alive after 14 days of playing. (that seems abnormally high)
(Its also now December 13th in this scenario)

Day 6 -1
Night 6 -1
11 Players are still alive (assuming the entire mafia team hasnt been lynched perfectly by this point **Highly unlikely**)

Day 7 -1
Night 7 -1
Its now 6 days til christmas and theres still 9 people in this game. Likely the game is nowhere near lylo.

Day 8 -1
Night 8 -1
were at 7 players and its now Dec 22, assuming nobody has hammered any previous phases **WHICH WE MAY WANT TO HAMMER MORE OFTEN IF YOU READ THIS CLOSELY**

Day 9 -1
Night 9 -1

Were finally at possible lylo and guess what. its xmas day.... whats the plan for this?
brainbomb (290 D)
16 Nov 16 UTC
in any case I am not saying I have a problem with it at all. however a setup like this actually hurts people who post alot, as opposed to lurkers. because, if i'm being honest, longevity play favors a very small group of players on this site.

A game this big should probably have two Vigs. Third parties are stupid though. Vash should be ashamed.

##CALL GM will the phase be extended for just Christmas Day, or also for Christmas Eve? Christmas is on a Sunday this year.
The GM will cross that bridge when he comes to it...but also The GM will be very busy Christmas Eve.

There is enough players to literally have 2 games, its a shame forum is unwilling to expand the rules on mafia to allow such things

17 Nov 16 UTC
Vash, seriously, they forced you out as a mod. they forced you to GM this game. and the best you can come up with is a vig that dies if he shoots town? and an arsonist that isnt immune to night kill? youve got 28 people who want to play a real game. Pull your head out of your ass, stop sheeping what ghug wants and make this a real setup. Because this is just gonna be a page count driven clusterfuck
brainbomb (290 D)

and theres only about 6 players that this style of play favors. weve seen this before and its boring as shit

I've come up with a great idea to revitalize the site and expand the fanbase.
It's called Webdip The Musical. It would be much more interesting than adding new maps or new features and might also allow people to rant about their political opinions in a way that's easier to ignore. I have contacted the mods and several have agreed to donate glitter.

Another potential idea is mafia the musical.

"Fog of War" rules?
Any reason "Fog of War" rules don't exist as a New Game option? You know, where you can see only the territories that border your units. So on the first round, England sees only as far as North Sea, Norwegian, English Channel, Irish Sea but does not see anything in France...

Trump breaks campaign promise to investigate Clinton
"Locking her up" was pretty central to Trump's campaign; two weeks after winning the election he's decided not to follow through. Are Trump supporters concerned about this? If not, why? And if he has already broken this promise (and others) then what faith do you have that he'll actually follow through on other promises?
