Mafia 92: Night of the living Mafia... the play

Seems to me that, with this format, there's the potential for the town to lose quite a few folks rather quickly. In a normal game, things usually start poorly for the town in terms of townies being lynched early. It could get worse here with poorly placed vig/zombie kills. Any townie being lynched needs to really think hard as to whether taking their vig kill is worth it, especially early on, when there's not much to go on. As the zombie kill isn't mandatory, if someone doesn't have a strong suspect, they shouldn't take the kill IMO.

I agree with this. Especially early in the game we will be working with very little reliable information.
 
The kill is supposed to be for a zombie win, seems to me the first few zombies would not be able to influence the outcome and therefore cant win. So they should not hit. Unless I have read the win and zombie hit rules wrong.
 
That works too and it's less confusing. Guess I never played a game when you both were playing at the same time.

Don't actually think I've played a game with Tank before, then again maybe one back when he started.

In any case, I'm here

I agree and disagree, yes there won't be much info and without info the hit would probably be misplaced but at the same time how many times have you had a gut feeling about someone but had no way to prove it and were right. I'd hate to be lynched and not be able to take a shot especially if it turns out I was right about who I wanted to hit. I guess what I'm saying is just use your own judgement.

On that note I do think I'll watch you 3, doubt all 3 are mafia as the posting is to close but I could see Mad being mafia and thinking up the idea or Rich or Doom being mafia latching onto an innocent Mad idea.
 
Mafia gets no invests per the rules so it should help the PRs hide better.

Wow, kinda jumping in there aren't you, Ice?

So, Ima be tthe first to say my reasons I may not be here: i gots me a job! just gotta fugure in ma new hours with the game, but it shouldn't affect me in the game much, besides mssing nightfall from Wed on. Job starts wed, I work till 10pm at the latest, so... anyway, exuses over, lets get kraken!

As far as your gut feeling, as a townie I've been on the receiving end of your gut feeling more than once. Gut feelings don't usually pan out.

Obviously any zombie can take their shot, just saying that vig shots early in the game (especially gut feeling and OMGUS, which is all there will be likely to go on early) are less likely to work in the town's favor.

At any rate, as JB mentioned in the sign-up that zombie kills would take place the night after an innocent was lynched...so, any zombie wishing to take a shot should at least pay attention to the game for the following day, as opposed to calling in any kills immediately upon being lynched and then disappearing.
