got my PM and HoS Baalzamon for making a damn good introduction.

Hihi! =D

Quoted for emphasis.

For anyone that doesn't understand this, it's a plurality vote IF a majority vote isn't met by deadline. The conversion of non-votes to No Lynch is somewhat of a safety net for town, but scum holds a good deal of power since town is typically indecisive about lynches. It is very important for townies to be active in voting and working towards keeping one or two people(or NL) at near lynch, so that shifts towards a different lynch will be more apparent.

Baal, what about a tie at deadline?

Who is new to MAFIA here on VGC?(not a trap question, though if anyone is willing to admit they're mafia that will be taken into consideration as well)

TBH, I'm not certain what exactly is normal in regards to a tie.  If I had to say something, I would that No Lynch will take priority.  If the tie is between 2 people, randomed?  What do you guys think about this?

Hey guys, Marcus is new to mafia, so it would be greatly appreciated if you could help him along his way during this game.

I'm having difficulty explaining it all to him via PM, and feel that experience is the major thing that will teach somebody how to play this game.

Please do not respond to this (obviously), but it would be greatly appreciated if the mafia could post in the mafia thread that was provided to them in their role message just so I know that you do indeed have the link.

The way I handled the possibility of a tie in the first game I hosted was to have a short extension where people could only vote or unvote for anyone in the tie. Once a sole player was in the lead they would be lynched, otherwise there wouldn't be a lynch. Random isn't good in my opinion, but some hosts allow multiple lynches; however, that can be exploited.

i believe both jacksons are new to vgcmafia...

doc... targets someone at night and keeps them safe.

cop... targets someone at night and checks if they are protown or anti-town.

mafia... talks through a separate forum at night and decide in a target to kill (and on a goon to perform the kill - unnecessary in basic vanilla games... check watcher/tracker roles for more info). anti-town.

vanilla townie... no power is stronger than the cunning mind to find the anti-town players... and that'd it.


/takes his butterbeer and drinks a sip.

Yeah, I'd say having a tiebreaker extension is the best thing to do.  I'm against randomizing.  If any kind of extension is out of the question, lynch both or lynch niether.
