All this game does is make me angry
The interpersonal aspect of this game is just so frustrating. My expectations for how this game is played is completely thrown out the window.

Brand new game with full disclosure (A Midsummer's Eve)
I have just created a brand new game, password protected, non-anon and full press. If still permitted, I would like to play this game with someone whom I know in real life. This player is Doug7878 who is my Dad.
The password is the word "agree," entirely in lowercase.

Will mafia know a fellow member has been officially jailed, or will they just speculate if one of them doesn't say anything at night?
captainmeme (1723 DMod)

'<Player> has been jailed for the night.' will be posted in the Mafia QT at the start of the night if any of them are jailed.

So it sounds like when Boba Fett has 2 bounties, his night kills will blend in with the mafia and town won't be able to know for sure which is which (mafia will obviously). With all three bounties though, then not only will his night kills stand apart from mafia kills, but they will get the town to not know for sure how many remaining mafia members are alive. Is that accurate?
captainmeme (1723 DMod)

Yep, that's accurate.

Thoughts on whether the Mayor should announce early or late?
I mean, being mayor is really cool. Especially if it's you and the bounty hunter at the end.

Mayor should probably not reveal on the first night. Depending on how the first two days go, revealing Night 2 into Day 3 might be prudent.
Maniac (189 D(B))
20 Jul 15 UTC
I think only mayor will know the strength of his own convictions and that will affect his timing of revealing themselves.

Are bounties randomly selected by mods or will they be all vanilla townies? This could affect the game considerably if bounties are also power roles or Mafia.

PS if I am mayor, please do not depose me...
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
20 Jul 15 UTC
captainmeme answered that the bounties are random, could be vanilla could be PR could be mafia.

regardless of the situation, i don't think it would ever be prudent for the mayor to reveal on Night 1 into Day 2. Too many townies left that the mayor would still get a townie lynched with high probability, and he'll almost certainly be the next nightkill and put the town in a bad spot.
Maniac (189 D(B))
20 Jul 15 UTC
We shouldn't get too hung up on losing the Mayor N2 if he reveals early. If Mafia target mayor N2 then they aren't targeting another, more important, power role. Also, I'm a big fan of lynches being town led (even if they're wrong) as it prevents manipulation. The power of the mayor comes from directing lynches, if he is able to do that for D2 and poss D3 if doc protects him, whilst helping distract Mafia from other power roles, then that is worth thinking about. If mayor, doesn't have a clue who Mafia could be D1 then sure he should consider keeping his powder dry.

I'm not saying an early reveal is always optimum, just that an early reveal shouldn't be ruled out either.

So the jailer acts like a doctor as well, that's pretty powerful.
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
20 Jul 15 UTC
yea maniac the fact that there is a jailer to protect the mayor changes my opinion drastically
Wait, if the mayor is jailed, he can't reveal, but does jailing him prevent his bonus the next day?
Assuming he has revealed.
i feel terrible for whoever rolls 3p this game. idk how that role is supposed to win
ND (879 D)
20 Jul 15 UTC
The Mayor's three votes will apply during the day phase because it's a day power. It can only be stopped if the Mayor is rbed before he can reveal or killed (night). If the mayor has revealed then he day power will be in effect each subsequent day phase.
Well, now the role is just broken.
Chaqa (3971 D(B))

If Maniac is mayor, we need to depose him.

Maybe even if he isn't mayor.
i get the feeling this game is going to swing heavily on how competent the jailer is at hiding blueness
ghug (5068 D(B))

Blueness?

Can we lynch Maniac before it starts?
It's too easy to hack the game with mayor. Day 2 reveal, everyone follow mayor's votes, moving against him is against the town. At night jail the mayor, he survives one day after the jailor is killed. He can kill the entire mafia by his lonesome and the bounty hunter.

CDs and the collapse of empires
Just wanted to observe how frustrating it is when a player becomes less committed to the game when they look to be in trouble. What can possibly be done to stop this ruining end games for everyone else?

(Also, someone (ghug?) mentioned not long ago a game where Germany recovered from 2 centres to solo. I can't find it again, can someone point me in the right direction?)

The Deathcount of Wall Street
I was thinking of doing some research on how many people died by Wall Street practices (through sucking companies out causing unemployment, profiting from and at the cost of pension funds ruining people's pensions, etc, etc.).

Does anyone have an idea of where to start and how to go about this?

Why so many gunboat games ?
I don't really have a problem with gunboat but I thought this game was designed for people to talk between themselves and scheme and form alliances in advance and fool your allies telling them you will, for example, support them somewhere but end up attacking them instead. For a few weeks I've seen only gunboat (live games)
