Want to play in a larger marathon game but not sure you have the time to play through an entire game?
Enjoy the fast-pace nature of Marathon games but also the ability to look back through the thread on later days?
Here's the plan.
I'll run a game of Pop Goes the Nightkill. Exact setup depends on the number of people interested, although I had hoped for ~15, and for the sake of EV it's better to hit certain break points.
After a certain amount of time (I was thinking the third day phase and
before
the third voting phase), the game will be put on pause until after the Marathon Weekend ends. Following that, it will resume play, with the only difference being regular deadlines.
Each game Day has a fixed discussion period (say [# Living] days) with no formal voting.
At the end of the discussion period, Mafia select their night kill.
The player chosen for the night kill is then the first player in a round of popcorn voting (Player A votes, then chooses the next voter, who votes and chooses the next voter, etc.).
The player with the most votes (plurality, not majority) is the lynch. If there is a tie, the player who reached that vote total first is the lynch.
The night kill then goes through, and next day starts.
EV should be the same as Vanilla with bulletproof IC, since there is always a confirmed innocent when voting (2:9 is 50.78%; 2:7 is 45.31%; 3:14 is 42.39%). Not sure how much I would expect town to outperform this; the IC is already a lot of information, and Mafia gets to dictate the lynch to some degree by their selection and the fact that early votes likely have the most impact on the outcome.
Would like to guage interest in this, as well as feedback / any suggestions.

ScumBlade's eloquent performance left me utterly disoriented, debased, depraved and sent me spiraling into a horrific murky abyss with emotional turmoil and immense despair as my only companions until slowly I suffocate in my own gloom, surrounded by failure.
