Interested in playing in the next beginner name.
Well, I think a few people maybe up for replacement soon on the current one.

Send me a request if you're planning to join this game, because due to current reasons--we've got 2 people in need of replacement under the case of being force-replaced in absentia.

Kind of curious, what's the general length of a day? I haven't seen any mention of it anywhere. I don't think that I could play any games where the length of a day is less than 48 hours, because of cross-timezone communications.

I think 72 hour days, where a weekend counts as 24 hours and multiple extensions are available is the norm.

Alright, that was my only concern that isn't my own ability.

Someone should put up a new BM soon since the current one is pretty much over.

What do you know, I'm not currently in any games and have nothing to do.

I'll take the next one if nobody else wants it.

With the current BM finally being done, the next BM will be up when I have time to make the OP.

Beginner's Mafia XLV is up.

I cleaned up the rule list a little and made some minor modifications.

Firstly, is that rule about cryptographic hashing really necessary?

Secondly, I added a line in the rules that Extensions and Shortens will be processed in the order that they are counted. E.G., if it's Day 1 and four extensions in a row are cast, then an extension will be granted even if every other player opposes it. Mostly, I want to enable this rule so that the mafia can possibly do some sneaky stuff with Shortens and not penalize them for trying if they get the number of votes they need.

Good rule, bad rule? Leave it? Remove it? Change it?

Both rules are good-second, the cryptographic hashing could be modified to not using any third-party anything for any related Mafia use.

...As I discovered the hard way. Somewhere far, far away, in a distant forum. >_>

What is cryptographic hashing? Is it the embedding of a message in an earlier post as proof of a later claim?
