This cryptoclaiming sounds more like a headache to be honest :p But quite an annoying way for the players to turn the tide in their favour :p

Also, about flavour themed games like a Harry Potter game, I read a pretty good guide on the mafiascum wikia that said you should shuffle the bag, as though the game occured in a parallel universe. Either use minor characters and give the mafia a possible safeclaim with the main characters, or turn the tide so that some badguys are really town, and some goodguys are really scum. Would make it interesting if Voldamort and Harry were actually in cahoots :P

Goddarnit I hate those stray quote tags and how they mess up a post's readability!

Don't leave. I didn't mean to upset you this much. I already said I would stay out of that thread and I meant it.

You're doing great Damuna, for what it's worth, I don't think you should replace out (though it is of course ultimately your choice).

And if only we could have a separate thread for EBWOPs or something, grrr. My reading comprehension late at night = fail.

Lynched twice on one day? I need a stiff drink :P

Hehe. I did read both games when I logged on and 2x saw that. I like your post-doom playstyle too, very fun to read :)

You had to go, you insaniac! Gutting jesskitten like that :O

Anyone seen zchinque?? Waiting for night scene in Mafia #3.......;o)

Not that I'm in the game anymore, but I like that, and it's something GMs should probably consider incorporating into future games (the shortening of deadlines the further into the game it becomes) unless there are a lot of players left or something.

In addition to the above reasons, it also gives the town a more urgent sense of approaching endgame, as well as allow the Mafia to fairly play for a no-lynch day, without having to purposely idle for days and days on end as it gets extended over and over again.

Sent a PM will cover if needed even if theres a day or 2 left.

I might try a nightless mafia next. Or possibly a Lights Out variant.
