I don't think I've played a Vote Mafia before... Must fix that. In!

While I'm here, though, may I quibble with a rule?

6. Extensions will be given if there is a majority of those in favor versus those not in favor. Shortenings happen if at least 30% more are favor as opposed. Extensions will be an extra 48 hours. Shortenings will end the Day. These will occur at Day end and 9 PM every weekday, respectively.
I'd like to suggest making extensions at least a little harder to achieve. Right now one solitary request equals 48 hours. The "those not in favour" thing is extremely rare, as people generally won't oppose or shorten unless in extreme circumstances because other people latch onto such a thing as being scummy, and neither town nor scum want to seem scummy, so they'd rather lurk and let the game linger.

Could you make it so at least a couple of people need to extend to make it so? Say 25% in favour, rounded down; so with 13 players, three would need to request it to extend. With ten, just two are enough. Seven or less, it's again one request equals extension like now.

...what do you say? Agile games are fun games, ain't them?

Oh, so I'm not in?

By "I've played mafia" I don't mean once. I mean there's a Starcraft 2 map that's basically mafia in real-time with ~1 minute day/nights. I'm not a complete noob to mafia, I just don't have extensive forum mafia experience. I was part of a mafia game on another forum, once, though.

I still propose we do the "33% for initial extension, +2 for every subsequent extension" rule.

If it scares people into posting, then yes.

If they end up lynched because they didn't post, oh well. Too bad for them. Maybe they should've tried posting.

Hmm... Fine.
So... 25% needed to extend, rounded down? Excellent. Thank you, your Majesty. Please update the first post to reflect.
