Re: The Prime Evils walk the earth! Official Diablo 2 Themed Mafia Signup Thread!!
I ran into a problem with that, and it think it's your call...but you would need to decide what to do at game start and stick with it.
It would also become a problem at end game, here's a situation I ran into:
The end of last game I had Bad Ash, Thunder, Asrrin and Spinns still alive. Asrrin and BoD were town, TC Mafia and Spinns the SK. Now, just before the last day ended I thought about what would happen if TC targeted Spinns and Spinns targeted TC. Since i was going off of the all night sum of things, I reasoned that they both die. and being that BoD and Asrrin were town, the town would win. There were some other scenarios I thought of, Spinns targeting BoD and TC targeting Spins. TC PM's me first so does that mean Spinns is dead and BoD survives the night alive for a town win? Or if I went off the order of who PM'd me first, does that mean one person dies and does not get his/her NK in?
It might make sense to wait out the whole night and act off the PM's you get. Just be careful and plan ahead, meaning sit back and try to think ahead once you assign roles...think of what would happen if at any point and try to come up with a solution. The way I called it was that the roles (as I had them written and not as I sent them to people) determined the outcomes of what happened at night and in endgame.
Of course though... nothing goes as planned once the game starts. Just look at what happened with Ludacris!
