Votes are tallied during the night and the elimination happens at the start of the day. No discussions.

Actions are taken during the day and eliminations/results happen at deadline. Discussions allowed.

Is this not just a warped version of a nightless game?

Maybe.

Because there's no ability to deliberate during voting you need to strategize pre-voting. And with the ability to openly deliberate while you submit night actions, you can actively change your actions based on how others act.

How do you mean?

If by "posting in the main thread" is what you mean by public, then no. You cast a vote with the moderator during the "night", and then it's revealed at the start of the day what the total vote count was, along with who voted who.

Might work with vote manipulating roles.

Also being able to coordinate night actions might help.

In a regular game of mafia, you can coordinate night actions too, it's just a bad idea because it requires claiming and scum get to kill the PRs.
