Shall I?
On a note - if I see a question to the mods in the game thread I know the answer to, shall I answer it?

Dirx replied and I answered:
He replied: "Heh, that's what I figured; just wanted to make sure. "

Archangel asked: I answered: She replied: "Thank you! This setup is AWESOME, I love it. "And later she wrote and I answered:

Responds to the roles (with no questions):
KidV: "yay!"
Sinjin: "Hahahahahaha. I think this game might be more fun than the real game."
Archangel: "Got it, thanks!"

This from me to Captain Klutz: If one of you are lynched 3. times the guesses from the player will not count, however if the remaining two players guess correct, they might still fulfill the wincon (but it will make it harder, no doubt). If player X is lynched 3 times and you helped by being a vote on player X in any of the 3 lynches, then your wincon (personal) will be fulfilled and you win without your "buddies". Hope that make it a bit more clear Yes - that's the idea. You don't have to wait until Day 7 to win together. A wincon met will lead to a win - no matter when in the game.

Got this from Sinjin after her "code-mistake":
That vote/unvoting-code had me cracked up (still do as I type this!!). It was soooo funny reading (when you knoe what is going on).

YIKES!! And I just realized that when I made Sinjins wincon I'd completely forgotten that minis are played in one thread and I manually have to count all players post Serves me right for trying to invent a new kind of mafia

From Guiri and with my reply: Voting will count - so I have it as 2 players have now said your name

I like the idea that both Archangel and Guiri will try and get votes. But Dirx will most likely not want to make a vote - and even if he does (if he is voted for himself) who to say he'll pick any of them? The only bit that worries me a little is if they do that "mass" claim. On the other hand it would help me work out the next Groundhog Game I like having the minis on Idle to work things like this out. Not sure if they would work on a large scale, however... Looks like Idle is going to work on the time-traveling idea, so there goes my next mini I don't want to get in his way - but I really thought he'd given up on that idea. Anyone have fun stuff we could try next?

Well, I would suggest Cluedo mafia - buuuuut that's already being done elsewhere. (GO SCUM!)
Anyway, the scum team really does have two wincons. Either get someone completely lynched (three days in a row), or the 50% one.
if I was the scum team, I'd start sending in name guesses tonight, too.

Dr. Strangelove had some questions regarding his role:
You are allowed to guess yourself. To be right you have to pick the name of someone lynched. It doesn't have to be a solo lynch. As long as they end the Day with maximum number of votes for that Day.

Captain Klutz had a question:
No. The ones that has won and left don't count. Sorry.

Thoughts:
If I run this again some day I might have to add to the rules that when more than... 8 players have won then the game will end as well. Something to keep them from cooperation too much.
Also I'm not sure if all wincons have the same level of difficulty. I guess right now Dirx is having a hard time not being able to vote (or to have a wincon that will make voting count against him).
I wonder how they can believe KidV so easy. It's a perfect "cover" wincon to keep him safe and I thought (when writing it) that he'd have a hard time if ever he claimed. But this doesn't seem to be the situation in this game.
Still I think it's fun to watch and I think (hope) they have fun playing as well. That is the main goal for me.

Severe Delays: Confirming. Since Day 1 (take 1) already has begun the guess will not count until Day 1 (second round) starts. Until then you're free to change your mind. If you don't this will be you guess

I think I've made it too easy... they all seem to be doing a lot better than I would have thought! With the speed they almost all have won by Day 3 or 4

But a part of me love the fact that they're helping each other.
I hope they still have fun - even if the game don't last until Day 7.

So do I - the hard thing I think, for this, is creating an interesting spread of unique wincons.

Severe really got them going - and seems to have spoiled a win for Dirx and messed up Sinjin that was doing fine before Guiri started to post

Maybe I have made a mistake - I have told Severe that her guess has to come before the Day begins - but it doesn't really say so in her PM. However I have told her, that she'll have to wait for Day 1, take 2 (it seems unfair to Dr. Strangelove if he has to guess before Day begins and she doesn't.). Aaargh - always have deadlines on actions in the Role-PM

To increase the fun I'm going to shorten the Days a bit. Think it might speed up the game as well

Wauw - there is a LOT of last minute voting going on!!!

Lesson to be learn and taken into consideration if I run this game again:
The lynch has to come at a higher price. Perhaps 1. time the names is revealed AND the player will be unable to vote the next Day. 2. time the wincon will be revealed and the player will start the Day with a vote that cannot be unvoted. 3. time the player will lose the game.
Also I should have made some more evil wincons. Like "in order to win you have to lynch Player A at least once and Player B at least twice".
And wincons should be designed not to win until after Day 3 in some way. So no player can win before they have faced the danger of losing.

I think this setup is actually pretty fun to watch in action.
Slightly disappointed the scum team only dropped one set of guesses, though.

I feel I should be disappointed because the game already seem to be over. But I really liked watching it and I've learned a lot and have so many new ideas for the next time around. I even hope that if I get it right in a mini, some day, I might to it with a total set-up of 18+ players. I just hope the players don't feel it wasn't balanced right - because there is no way this game can last for 5 more Days. Never gonna happen!!! It might be a bit anti-climatic for them to join and read the spoilers

I say keep them in the dark until it's over - most of the fun is not knowing naything about what your friend over there is supposed to do.

Actually - maybe next go around you should provide more incentive for lynching a player multiple times in a row?
