 Because of the fact that players of the same team might not necessarily have the same wincon, there are two ways for a round to end: 1) If everyone on a major team (Town or Evil) achieves their wincon, or 2) if a major team is eliminated.

Rautherdir:
Why no RVS questions?
Oh is that what we're doing?

Okay then.

I would play the game, but I have no idea what I'm allowed to do without losing.

So you have a posting restriction? Are you still allowed to vote?

DarkStar:

If it was in this game, it would be hilarious.

No, we're flailing uselessly and drooling on ourselves until night falls and we get to used our awesome abilities. RVS is just what we should be doing.

Why, what did you plan to do today?

IronyOwl:
How do you feel about mass kill attempts?
Conflicted. Technically vig kills should be good for town, but murdering everyone has some obvious implications, especially since the interactions between people before they flip is one of the reasons town gains something out of people dying.

Dude, I asked Wuba a question pertaining to his claim, how is that being useless?

But no, I am not scum.

You gave a one word answer to TheDarkStar's RVS question, ignored mine entirely, and have done nothing else.

4maskwolf - If you had a large post restriction, would you try to reveal it early or would you try to hide it?
Fuck if I know.

Here's the thing about me and post restrictions: I've never had one.  Never.  Not once.  I haven't really played in game with many either, and there's a very good reason for it.  Post restrictions are like Jesters and Assassins as roles: they're notoriously hard to balance and use in a way that isn't unfun for someone.  In fact, I'd argue that seeing a good use of a post restriction is so incredibly rare it's not worth looking for because you'll find a whole bunch of shitty ones.  So no, I don't know what I'd do with one, especially with such a vague term as "large post restriction" (like, seriously, what the fuck does that even mean.

That begs the question, TheDarkStar: what post restriction did you afflict on some poor soul this game?

4mask:
Suppose you have a random-target nightkill and no other actions. Do you use it?
Oh for fuck's sake...

Context dependent.  If a scum is already dead, especially early on, meh, not worth it, unless (and given this game it's a pretty big unless) it would benefit my wincon in some other way to do so.  Otherwise, yeah, why not.

First off whoever gave me my second action screw you.
4mask: do you think all parts of your role are well designed.
Probs wasn't me, my second action was relatively tame.

Actually yes, I really like the role I was given, certainly better than the stuff a couple poor souls ended up with from me (I was testing the waters to see what I could and could not get away with, so my stuff was fairly mundane as far as interest goes).

I'll post more at a time when it's not two in the morning and I just got back from closing the store.

Uh, yeah, I've got a really stupid posting restriction where I can't say people's names or I lose. I have no clue WHY someone thought that was a good posting restriction, but it's a really obnoxious one. I can't even say my own name.

WOW, SO FUN.

I can, however, vote people. TheBiggerFish.

This is the only time I can say someone's name.

There's a really cool infinite loop we could do with what I know is out there. Which is, of course, broken.

Ah, my bad. But my particular posting restriction is literally TOO severe for me to play, since I play on a phone 90% of the time. It's either that, or I'm literally going to be useless half the time.

Please replace me. The game seems fun, but I cannot win playing like this, and if I can't win, the game isn't fun for me.

Like, I am really sorry about this, but I cannot play like this.
