I may add to my second post. I don't want a single day to last too long to be honest.

How do plurality lynchs work? I figure that when a time limit was issued, the person who has received the most votes will get lynched once time has run out (example: 10 votes total, split across three options: 4/3/3; the person with four votes gets lynched).

But what if there is no time limit?

In the scenario you mentionned the person with 4 votes would be lynched as soon as the last vote was cast (no matter if that vote is for that person or not). The reasonning being that all votes are cast and that that person has the most votes.

What I'm not sure about is what happens if you have a town of 10 and the vote split is 4-2-2-1. I think the person with 4 votes gets lynched right away because no matter who the last person votes for, the player with 4 votes still has the most votes.

What a stupid system. Given how many people we have who regularly don't know what the votals are, there are bound to be a lot of accidental lynches.


I used it twice before in big games. I agree it does have some drawbacks. Town hates it because it makes them think twice about voting. Scum love it because it gives them some power over lynches. I love it because it speeds up days that will otherwise drag on.

I promised chaos, no?

 

Still I may change it back to normal voting after I have my characters and roles all sorted out.

At least this time, we know beforehand. The first time hatmoza used this voting system, he didn't tell anyone until we had a surprise lynch on Day One.

That's pretty much how I've done it before. Thus the famous Linkz, "Plurality Lunch Boxes."

No! It was a surprise Lunch!

(I promise to kill this joke before the game ends)
