Newb Question... Input Please!

[PolarBoy]

I almost want to see what such a game would look like. I've never been in a game before where I couldn't even trust myself.

However, assuming it really is optimal play then there's no reason to do anything day one except randomly lynch someone to get on with the game.

In fact, I can't think of a reason anyone should look at their role in a game with no night actions.

I think pj (can I call you pj?) may have found a good argument for starting night one instead of day one.

I never said it was a good enough reason to start newbie games with night: Those follow their own rules. But there's a perennial argument as to whether starting on night one serves any purpose important enough to offset it's potential to imbalance a game at random, as well as the annoyance of experienced players only surviving night one as scum.

What I see here is a strategic point which may make it necessary to start with night one.

At any rate it was an insightful question. I can tell you will enrich mafia by playing it. Welcome to MafiaScum.
