I'm not sure if the players involved were the people who really cut out talk, or if it was the time. I'd say it's more the players: I didn't say much because of I knew the players weren't saying much, and it was better, in this particular case, not to talk. I just don't know if that was the case for anyone yet.
I had to set my alarm for 5:30am and 6:00am so I could get up to monitor the votes and to look up things for the psyche-locks. I typically woke up at 4:30am PST for some reason. I typically went to bed at 10:00 pm the previous night so I got 6 hours and 30 mins of sleep. So I had to keep myself energized during the day. There was a problem for Mop_it_up in that she couldn't get to change her vote in the last hour.
Didn't in one of the mafia games have like voting open for 22 hours. Might have been NintendoWorldReport mafia or F-ZeroGX Mafia?
Ideally, in a mafia game, it shouldn't typically come down to the last minute. I think a slightly later time, maybe an hour or two, might be better for most players, but I can't remember what time would work for the Aussies here.
