Well, let's talk about this a little. First off, Vudu, you by far gave yourself away by what you said about my death. At that point in time, no one knew the roles, the only known role was mine, the killer, and there was no way to trace my death to the mafia. You and Sir_Stabbalot both gave yourselves away, at least to me, right then, except, well, I had already thought Stabby was mafia, hence why I was appealing to him to live so much.
Then there's the time factor. This is a ridiculous way to handle actions. Having a killing role also gives you Khush's ability, innately, so long as you give your command first. Then, of course, since most actions are night actions (The only day action I know of is Stabby's role's action), but they don't happen at night, there are dead players voting, talking, playing, and role-mongering. Since I was killed during the day, I shouldn't have been able to vote, and TVman wouldn't have died. However, since night actions take place during the day since the time we send them in during the day is a factor, then I was dead at this point, and my vote shouldn't have counted. After all, if my PM of my murder didn't get counted, anything after that point that I did shouldn't have been counted.
Of course, then there's the fact that we didn't know that actions were time-dependent, nor if all actions were time dependent. Khush's action is a block. However, his block doesn't work if he doesn't send it in before the person he blocks sends in their action.
Question: What would have happened if Bill, as Mafia Investigator, had sent in an investigation of Zach at 3:00PM ET, and Khush had blocked Bill at 5:00PM ET? Would the block go through? Would Bill have learned that Zach was the Gravedigger? If Khush's block would have worked, then you created a terrible inaccurate way of handling night actions, as we all know that today you said that night actions happen in precisely the order you receive them. And then, of course, there's the fact that people live all over the world and that they play at different times. This method gives a sharp advantage to anyone who is awake right when the new day begins. For some people, that's midday. For some, midnight. For others, it might be the afternoon. People who work, have school, or sleep really lose out with this idea, no matter how hypocritical you make it. Who cares if you say "Get your night actions in early!" We all think that means you want to write a story and start the next day right after the preceding one, not that you hold it against us for sending in our actions three or more hours beforehand.
Then, of course, we all know now that there's only one mafia, that you allowed them to merge. Did you plan on telling us this publicly? I know at the beginning, at least, the strategies for dealing with two mafias are far different from dealing with one. Stabby brought it up in one of the Mafia threads, but only as an attempt to gain some cover. Also, as said before, the mafia can rename the Godfather, and still make a hit that night. That's adding an extra action, and it doesn't make sense to limit Khush's role partway through with this mafia ability.
Then of course, Zach didn't know he could bring himself back to life. And to add to all of this, the players who are living best are the ones who haven't posted a thing in the mafia threads. S-U-P-E-R hasn't had a vote yet, I think. Neither has Ceric. Mashiro got bored and wanted to quit partway through, UERD didn't play and finally died at the end of it. Face it, you wanted to host a mafia that the players would have had to seriously play in order to do well, you should have put in a rule that killed all people who didn't play after a certain amount of time. You should have taken out players who stated they didn't want to play anymore, and Ty should have died, too. You didn't do this. Then, you said you'd do a few game updates along the way. You started out Day 1 without revealing any roles. The same went for Day 2. Finally, on Day 3, you revealed the gravedigger and the Town Whore #3. You never brought any attention to the merged mafias, at least, until players from the mafia had died and Stabby had pointed it out. It's not a question of making a mafia difficult. It's a question of you cheating the players by not defining the rules, by not doing what you stated you would do initially, and by not playing a clean game on your part. That's my problem with this game. You didn't hold up your end of the bargain.
