I had a thought the other day (yes it happens!) about night actions after a reasonable time the mod could choose at random or cancel the action AND post in the thread something like "TruckOSaurus failed to send is night action". It would motivate people to get moving!

What do you think? Too strict?

After a reasonable period of time, night actions get randomized.  This happened with Azure in Round 8 who didn't PM with her night 1 action until the game was over and SciFiBoy who disappeared toward the end of Round 9.

However, the names of the people holding up the game are never publicized because it tells everyone that they have a night action in the first place.  The problem with running too many special games is that people get used to everyone having a night action when really roughly 50% or fewer of the people playing should have them.  If the person revealed is pro-town then you've just given the mafia their next victim on a silver platter (especially if it's a Doctor) and if it's mafia then the town knows who to lynch or at least investigate.

You are not only penalizing that person but you're penalizing their entire team which is unfair all around.
