Simultaneous kills

[diamondfalcon]

I am modding a mafia game and I have a quick question. What do you usually do if one person PMs to kill a mafia member who is also killing someone else. Do you:
A) Base your decision on whether said mafia killer sends PM first to decide whether mafia's kill counts.
B) Regardless of PM order, mafia gets killed with no kill.
C) Let both kills count.

I'm sure the answer's pretty simple. This happened before and I went with A, but I'm just checking to see what's proper.

Typically it's C in most games; otherwise a 1 on 1 endgame between a vig and a mafia depends on speed in sending PM's, not on actual mafia play. (More generally, you don't want mafia to depend on speed of sending PM's in, especially since not everybody lives in the same time zone.)

This is one of those questions that you should decide on before the game starts.

C is what is usually done. Some mods do it differently, but C is fairest to both sides, as it eliminates the unfairness of being killed because, for example, you're in a different time zone.

C

Yes, I agree with C. If you do anything else, you should inform your players beforehand.
