Clicky for those (like me) that read all of the updates in an email client and/or are too lazy to go back a level and find the post:

The first post of the Dead Chat will say how many Mediums there are. It will not state the alignment of the mediums, so the dead truly cannot trust the mediums unless they get some information on them.

Just realized that the first post shouldn't say how many mediums there are, since that gives the Mediums information about active roles that they shouldn't have. So I think it will just state whether or not there are any mediums in the game at all.

Just say "There is at least one Medium." There you go.

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[JanusTwoface]

Although it would be amusing to say there is a medium and there actually is not.    I'm sure the dead would be thrilled talking to themselves without realizing it.

[Mephansteras]

Oh, no, they hate that. Happened once, and it went poorly. Although that may have been partially due to someone posing as the Medium (we had aliases the first time) and leading them on.

I thought it was funny

[Pandarsenic]

I... didn't.

hey lok guyz im medem  tak to me

[Kashyyk]

I disliked it also.

[JanusTwoface]

Ok, I give.  Seems like I'm one of the few people that wouldn't mind talking to myself. 

On a more cheerful note, related to this:

On the contrary, if it's a dopp-only game, and there's a goth dopp, the agent will see him as cult, and appropriately say "WTF?"  Then they talk, and the dopp says he's a goth.  The dopp's real race is therefore hidden.

Will we be told at the beginning of the game which mafias are in the game and how many of each there are?  Or just how many total mafia?  Or absolutely nothing?

Personally, I'd be in favor of telling us the total number of Mafia, but not telling us if there is 1 or 2, but that's just me.

Also, it would be interesting to have potentially have more members in one mafia than in the other, with more powerful roles in the smaller to compensate.  Granted, this wouldn't quite as well with the numbers being revealed at the start of the game, but it could still work.  Thoughts?

[Mephansteras]

Currently I state the mafia factions and how many of them there are at the beginning of the game. If there are two factions and the # of mafia is odd, the dopps currently get the larger number. However, my program tries to balance out the two sides as best it can, so the Cult should be about as powerful, if not as numerous.

[JanusTwoface]

Shiny.  I think that I'm just trying to make the mafia(s) a little more powerful, having been one in each paranormal game I've been in thus far (although that's only 2ish, 3 if you count the demo run earlier). 

[Mephansteras]

Well, we still haven't really played with the multiple PRs of the same type on a side yet, and that should boost the scum's power a good bit. Before, the town had the advantage where once two of any given PR was found, it was obvious that 1 was scum. Now, you need to find 3 of a kind to know at least one is scum, but that's a lot harder to deal with. Plus, the scum can now have War Vets and Vigilantes, and that can give them a big power boost right there. So, we'll see. If we decide the scum still need a power boost we'll tweak things again next round.

...I think there have been, what, twice as many Paranormals as any other mafia type here? I guess I don't get as bored as quickly as the other mods.

[Alexhans]

Meph... remember the advantage that the dopps have if there's a survivor in the game... it's a slight advantage... but it's there.
