Given people's responses, apparently it is more suspicious for one to change up one's own playstyle from game to game than it is to not, regardless of whether the circumstances were different (in this case, this type of game is very different from a full mafia game).

Therefore, it would be more logical for a baddie to try to confine oneself to one's usual playing style.

You're assuming that everything a player does is coldly rational. People slip up and psyche themselves out when trying not to get "caught" as a baddie. Inconsistent behavior can be a symptom of this.

Sure, this is a good point, but how many players have been lynched for being different than usual or misunderstood and turned out to be civvie?

I would argue instead that the shorter timing of this game allows people less opportunity to slip up. I think that's a fair assumption.

Definitely. It's happened to me.

To be fair, she hasn't committed to anything. She said probably.

It rubs me the wrong way too though.

she randoms a lot day 1 though. If someone who doesn't usually random day 1 said it it would bother me more

You can still post preview in the full editor.

seconded.

Mp- zeeks not actually in this game....i think....

Who's it going to be?

Well, you're awfully bloodthirsty, aren't you? How about you?

S~V~S wrote:Yeah but it plays more like a chat game. It will be good in the last minutes of the lynch.

I like the bit about ending days early if all votes are in. It would suck to have the voting done in 15 minutes, and then have to wait 45.
