its a good q!

the reason i had it at over 50% was specifically bc of the mechanics of the penalty vote and im317's role. so for me if there is no vote modifying mechanic in place then in theory once mafia reaches 50% they can tie the vote, force an NL and win with a kill. and that just delays the inevitable in which case the wincon should just be at 50% to speed things along

What would you all do if it was like the following: 4 mafia 5 town, a townie gets lynched, game would usually be over but we’re doing the kill the threats rule etc 1 townie is a roleblocker and one is a redirector Mafia kills another townie, so it’s 4 mafia and 3 townies, two are RBer and redirector At that point it’s a playing with your food scenario a bit. Let’s say the RBer blocks a kill the next night and excitedly is like guess what everyone, I blocked xyz and there was no kill so they’re mafia. And they think they’re the man and everyone is like yay good job, and then scum dumps 4 votes on the roleblocker throughout the day instead of the person they blocked. Fun? Annoying? Cruel? I dunno! Are these scenarios too unlikely for this to even matter?

once the day starts and its 4 mafia to 3 town its definitely over regardless. mafia votes out one of the three townies in the game, lets say they vote out RB, then its 4-2, at night redirector causes mafia to kill themselves. next day still starts with 3-2, mafia votes out whoever, rinse and repeat

only thing to check here is if at the night of the 4-4, the redirector is able to cause a mafia to kill themselves, or if RB blocks a kill on that night and town has a way to break the deadlock in their favor. but like its been mentioned already this is all very role related

i guess the lesson from that is once the 50% of total is reached, let that night phase run its course. that removes a lot of the unknowns and the start of next day paints a clear picture abt whats gonna happen. or if the 50% of total is reached during the night then run one more day-night phase.

This is making me wonder, can we think of any other ways to do it than these?

game should end when Herminator dies. everyone loses. host included.
