I'm new here can someone please explain how the NMR and CD rules work here. How many times can a power NMR before they go into CD. What happens to the game if one of the powers goes CD? Is it canceled, paused? What happens to your bet? Do you just get it back?

Are countries assigned randomly?
New to this site here, so sorry if this is answered elsewhere that I didn't find. Are countries assigned randomly when a game starts? (I'm noticing in the Championship Belt Game Series that xorxes always plays Austria and captainmeme always plays France, but have not found any setting for choosing a country or assigning preferences or anything.)

Uber is kind of cool
So, I dont actually plan to spend money. But I downloaded this cool app called uber. I think its like, taxi cabs or toy cars or something. But they move. They wiggle around and travel places on this cool map that looks a little like real life. I watched this one car strolling down a highway. This is neat. How do I take over one of these cartoon car thingys

Incomplete orders on the small preview map are a problem.
Not all orders (most notably support orders) are shown on the small preview map of a game and, especially in Gunboat, this is pretty problematic.

This setup looks great, and I'm really hankering after another game, but wary of the time it'll take.

To that end, I have 2 questions:
At what point do the overflow players go in?
Is there a point-after-which subs aren't allowed?

Brain I read your ##end vote example

Example
ND (7): Players 1-7
Brainbomb (5): Players 8-12
Ghug (10): Players 13-23
A majority of players (12/23) have voted END!
Ghug has been lynched!

12 end votes you say is needed to end the day early, BUT is it not a problem that max 11 of those votes for the player to be lynched?

In fact all 12 end votes may be from players voting for ND and Brainbomb and none may be from players voting for ghug!

That is somewhat true for me as well even if I make it most of the time. (Deadlines are normally Midnight my time (CET).

Yes I agree that deadlines are a bit late for Europeans. Have also for the FUTURE been wondering how many players we would gain and we would loose, if we tried move the deadline 2 hours earlier to 4 pm Eastern Time US which would be 10 pm Central European time. It would be interesting to hear everyone's opinions about this idea.

Overflow is people who want in to the game if anyone drops out during signup.

Subs are intended to be people who fill in during the course of the game itself. Many people who enroll as subs have issues committing to the time constraints, cant play right away.

Overflow also means we can increase to a max of 19 if we have a large enough interest. In the event we up to 19 players its 14 vt vs 5 scum.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
21 Oct 17 UTC
14 VTs versus 5 scum with no PRs? I hope your scumteam is actually random as opposed to "random" in the sense that all the useless lurkers that are going to waste our four(?) mislynches just so happen to be town.
ghug (5068 D(B))

Yeah, that seems rough for town.

Advertising here for a mafia game on Discord that’s starting on Monday. Will be a very short game - 24hr days, no nights (mafia can daytalk and their kill occurs at the end of the day). 5 town vs 2 mafia, two neighbours and one circulating vest. Only need one more. PM me if you’re interested and not in the Discord group.
teacon7 (306 D)
22 Oct 17 UTC
Game design question:

Is the ideal ratio of town:scum supposed to be a percentage? (i.e., players should have 23% scum) Or is it measured in mislynches? i.e.:
{

recent game setup was:
10 players
@ (2 scum:8 town = 25%)
= 3 ml's, 3 nk's to scum win (excepting docsaves and the like )
4 ish days of play

bigger game, same ratio yields a longer game:
20 players
@ (4 scum:16 town = 25%)
= 6 ML's, 6 nk's to scum win
6ish days of play
}

What balances a setup?
brainbomb (290 D)
22 Oct 17 UTC
Generally speaking a range from 24-30% scum is good.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
22 Oct 17 UTC
With PRs that can help town, that ratio makes more sense, but you eliminated that factor.
