VTS Mafia VTS Mafia Night 1/Day 1

[Tubby23]

Additionally if there is a Judge, they can publicly announce that they are releasing or condemning the accused to death.

 

[TD]

So Day 2 starts at 5:30pm ET tomorrow, right?

 

[VashTheStampede]

I prefer Mike Judge, and not just cause I'm a Giants fan.

[TD]

Oh skip I guess.

@VashTheStampede
Can jurors share their verdict at any time, can they change their mind, and when is their verdict final?

Jurors can vote whenever they like. They cannot change their vote. They have the entire day phase to make their choice. All jurors MUST vote. Trial ends when either all votes are in, a Lawyer or Judge ends the trial early, or the day phase ends. If a Juror does NOT vote in time, there will be repercussions.

 

[Joseph Snapple]

Yeah I'm gonna go with skip. Too much of what I'm reading feels like it's based on prior interactions in past games and while that's fine in itself it's terrible for me since I can't really reasonably corroborate stuff. Sooooo basically nothing I want to use to justify a vote for someone on Day 1.

Mine was a skip too

 

[canadaguy]

What if we skip out on jury duty completely

 

[TD]

So if all but one juror has voted, the lawyer/judge has a window still if they wanted to but once all juror votes are in, that's it. Correct?

wrong show

oh. didn't know we were doing that skip

I know this is first game, so growing pains.

but this needs work. this is exploitable. I (as town) would like to wait until the last possible minute to render my verdict. until I'm as sure as I can be.

but if I'm a mobster in the jury for another mobster.

I'm waiting until the last possible second in hopes that one of the lawyers or judge get him off with a light spanking. (heh double entendre)

 

[VashTheStampede]

Better have a doctor's note or something

 

[Tubby23]

Perhaps all jurors could be required to give their verdict within an hour or 2-hour window and on that day the town can not vote to skip?

 

[Tubby23]

Skip also

my initial plan was to give a certain amount of time for the trial but then I thought that someone waiting until the last second is, in itself, information that could be construed and scrutinized, based on the conversations during the trial

But with all things in this game I'm open to tweaks and adjustments in the future. I've already seen a couple balance issues I am going to address. I'd like this to be a "living game" in every sense of the term.

...Vash, what about public juror names but private voting? ...omg that's a new level of fun. jurors submit their vote to you.

 

[Local Hero]

A Twelve Angry Men mini game!

Not enough information for the City in that case IMO. I think that is only helpful for the Mob and they already have the advantage in the game.

yeah but the COMEDY.

[TD]

Someone should probably add vote 7 to me so I can't get cold feet at 5:29am and unvote.

I'll put my second vote on TD lol

 

[VashTheStampede]

Unfortunately I don't think we're going to get enough skips to end the day phase early because I am going to bed soon. Sorry peeps.

 

[TD]

Okay good, now I can sleep peacefully knowing it's not in my power to back out.

See 10-11 of you at my trial tomorrow.

Would it help if I skip again?

 

[canadaguy]

Skip

 

[Tubby23]

Worth a try.

Tubby skips again

 

[Cole]

but bold.

 

[shortkut]

 

[Jawneh]

Unless there's jurors on the bench who like pineapple on pizza, I'll call bias on the whole trial. We better have a robust voir dire built into the game.

 

[Jawneh]

And we can also skip.
