i once played a game where all actions had to be presubmitted during the day and night would be processed immediately

at one point in time, a day was hammered early and there was no kill because i didn’t have time to submit it, which in theory should have outed me because there was one mafia left

i won that game in f3

gummy should know this bc there was a player who was routinely metaread due to having a 9-5 job where he couldn’t post during work hours

still fucks with the scheduling and also needlessly convolutes things

one example out of many:

Say you’re mafia in a game where you (based on your usual timezones / activity) can’t be online at EOD/SOD normally, but you are this time. You submit your nightkill instantly, and day starts immediately, revealing to you that if any town roles had actions they didn’t need any time to think about them (and those players were online right at EOD), and potentially misleading the town into believing that mafia are in timezones that can be online at EOD/SOD.

I played a nightless game like that where we just… forgot to submit our nightkill :joy_cat:

why would mafia ever lock their actions before eod when so much could happen that they would want to respond to

we still won but everyone else also won due to wincon shenanigans (if we remembered the nightkill we could probably have been the sole winners)

it’s just such a terminally qbcord brained mindset where if something isn’t constantly happening the people get bored

the best way out is to self select for people who won’t got bored and let everyone else cry about it

…so what would happen if the person set to be nightkilled got eliminated instead

dude we haven’t had nightchat for at least a year now

why do you always rip on qbcord

like maybe it’s less balanced and perfect but it’s still fun and it does not need to be the butt of all your jokes

this is why it is my duty as a civilian to swag out as much as possible for the specs

new idea for gummy specifically: a separate mafia game during the night phase so that you don’t get too bored

of course, if the night phases of those games coincide, we create a third mafia game. and if all those night phases coincide, we create as many mafia games as are needed so that we can always be playing mafia. because god forbid we’ve ever bored

ok benguinedparbecue…

i’m sure someone will laugh at your joke

there would be no kill

(i think you could set conditionals on your actions to prevent that scenario from occurring but it’s been a very long time)

The funniest part is that people are inherently distrustful of wagonomics because of the incident where Carbon leaked a spreadsheet that showed she was mafia, so she spent the rest of the day longposting nonsense and claiming it was “wagonomics”.

if you’re not labeling yourself as town on your read sheet even if you’re wolf you’re not LARPing hard enough

I simply do not label my alignment on my spreadsheets until after I flip to avoid this issue entirely.
