Diffusion of Power Setup

Diffusion of Power as described by MafiaScum wiki.

Setup

~ 3 Mafia Goons
~ 4-6 Night Specific Cops
~ 4-6 Night Specific Doctors

Mechanics

~ Daystart
~ The Mod randomizes how many Cops and Docs there are: 1/3rd chance of a 4/6, 5/5 or 6/4 split each.
~ The Mod then randomizes a number from 1-5 for each town player. This is the one night that the players' role works on.
~ It's possible for there to be multiple players with the same power and night.
~ Mafia are told pregame exactly how many Cops and Docs exist in the setup, but not who and what nights they are.
~ Cops and Doctors flip only as "Town Cop" or "Town Doctor".

The enemy of all townies is insanity. We need organization and order.

RVS over.

Self-voting spreads confusion, spreading confusion hurts the town, so scum are more likely to do it.

[bjc]

Spreads confusion? Lol okay there buddy.

[Burning Crystal]

Self-voting doesn't spread confusion. Self-voting is a manipulative ploy that says nothing about alignment.

[Young and Beautiful]

Hey there, everybody! Uhhh, let's make this a good game?

VOTE: theelkspeaks

Yay!~

[theelkspeaks]

In every game I've ever seen a self-vote in (admittedly not many) the discussion of it occupies several pages of the first day, generates relatively little useful content, and puts the town behind. It's an antitown play at best, and since scum benefit from antitown plays and we're still in a stage with little enough content to go by for much of a better vote, an antitown play is the scummiest thing that's happened so far.

[bjc]

You're over-justifying your vote; I'll stay.

[Salamence20]

Self-voting in RVS means nothing.

Theel's overreacting over it reads town for me

[U SUX]

VOTE: Hershey Kiss

If we lynch this guy today, do we get to eat him?

[BoroPhil]

I hope not, it's disgusting.

Can't say I remember seeing a self-vote on day one before so that was odd. Bandwagoning more likely to be scum than over-reaction.

This looks like a reaction test to me.

It's an antitown play at best, and since scum benefit from antitown plays and we're still in a stage with little enough content to go by for much of a better vote, an antitown play is the scummiest thing that's happened so far.

That doesn't change the fact that you omgus'd him.

^Theelkspeaks did not OMGUS.

I'm more interested in how theelk comments on how discussion about self votes is useless and puts town behind. Yet, he is the one who started to discuss the self vote.
