As far as I can tell, things are locked in once they're two nights old.

Wrong. If you kill someone who kills someone and bring the previous person back to life, and therefore replay about 2 Days or so. It'd simply be too hectic...

Better limit the number of game changing power roles, then, eh? Stuff like trackers and watchers, sure, but STRICTLY limit the number of doctors, vigilantes, and roleblockers.

Actually, some time travelly type roles, such as one who will force the action into the future or one who will force the action into the past, for instance.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

Webadict, what you just said makes no sense.

Also, can anyone spot any parodoxical situations yet? XD

How about causing a paradox creates a black hole that resolves the problem by killing the person that initiated it?

Anyway, as you say, the game would advance rather slowly.  But it sounds cool anyway, and, as said, you could try and limit the number of game altering power roles.

Webadict, I thought about that, but the events (I assume) exist independent of their user or else a paradox is too easy to create.

Actually, a mafia doctor is basically a mafia reviver. I would say disallow that, but the bluffing factor is so awesome I can't resist.

And this isn't real life. I'm assuming it functions like normal Mafia but with the actions taking place at different times. If two people target each other, they just both die.

Rule 8 Revision:
8) A person who dies is still allowed to vote. He may not vote in the thread, but he can Private Message me his vote. If he does not PM me his vote, he is assumed to have abstained.

If he comes back to his life, all his votes are retroactively activated. All players are told who the Revived Person voted for, and if his vote caused for any other person to be lynched. Days will not be "replayed", everything is now automated.

Also, List Of How Actions Are Handled:
1) Roleblockers
2) Doctors
3) Cops
3) Killers (Vigs/Mafia)

If two Killers target each other in the same Time Period, they just both die.

If two Killers target each other in different Time Periods, then the Target living in the earlier Time Period gets killed, and the other Killer gets to survive (as he prevents his own assassination).

There is no way I'm going to wipe out paradoxes with super black holes. We're going to use logic.

Aw, ok then.  Can people send you night actions to if they're dead?

That's how normal mafia works, isn't it?

And the fact that the doctors act before killers means that there will be a minimum of tricky anti ressurections.
