The deadline for townies to submit their actions is over. The Mafia will have 1 more day to decide who to kill, and how to break any ties if necessary.
The deadline for Night 1 is unchanged and will follow the above post.

Each townie will be given an empower action. Each player’s power starts at zero, but increases by one per empower action on them.
The Mafia must appoint a member to perform the kill this Night, and it will succeed only if the killer’s power is higher than or equal to the power of the person they are killing.
Night 2 will last 48 hours.
Spoiler: FAQ
Q: I still don’t get the whole power thing. Can you summarize it for me?
A: Each townie gets an empower action. If more players empower the Mafia’s kill than the killing Mafia, the Mafia kill will fail.
Q: Does empowering affect other players’ ability to empower?
A: No. All empowering actions will always succeed, and only the Mafia kill can fail.
Q: If the killing Mafia has the same power as the person they are killing, will the kill go through?
A: Yes.
Q: If the kill is successfully stopped, will the killed player be informed that the Mafia tried to kill them?
A: No.
Night 2 will end at 31 July 10:15am UTC-4, or in (expired on 2019-07-31 10:15:00)

This Night, all town-aligned players will get a connect action: They may attempt to connect to another player. If a group of town-aligned players circularly connect, all of them will be immune to the Mafia kill that Night.
Night 3 will last 48 hours. Please submit all night actions by then.
Spoiler: FAQ
Q: What does it meant for a group of townies to circularly connect?
A: This means that it is possible to arrange the townies in a way such that each player is connecting to the next player, and the last player is connecting to the first. In other words, you will be kill-immune if you are connecting to a person who is connecting to you, or someone who is connecting to someone connecting to you, or so forth.
Q: Can I connect to myself?
A: No.
Q: Will I know if I have successfully connected?
A: No.
Q: If the kill is successfully stopped, will the killed player be informed that the Mafia tried to kill them?
A: No.
Q: What if a player forgets to submit a Night action?
A: They will be replaced. Similarly, any Mafioso who does not post in the Mafia PT during the Night will be replaced. You will not be allowed to intentionally no-action.
Night 3 will end at 7 August 11am UTC-4, or in (expired on 2019-08-07 11:00:00)

I hope you all enjoyed this game. The reason I made this game was to test out some ideas created in the Open Setup discussion thread, but didn't work out because of a breaking strategy caused by directing actions.
By turning the events into a surprise, such a downside is lost, and I can test out these ideas without the breaking strategy, i.e. to how it's supposed to be played out.
Unfortunately, the game did not go as well as I hoped. The quickhammer on Day 1 meant that the Night 1 event was not going to be as exciting as I hoped it to be, and people weren't discussing each Night's mechanics as well to fully utilize them from claiming.
I hope that in spite of all the hiccups, you all had fun anyways.

In post 643, Jingle wrote:Kinda disappointed you guys didn’t get through all the event, tbh. A lot of effort went into figuring out the orders for them.
I’m looking forward to see more games like this in the future. If BNL gets enough of a pool of events going he can even start reusing 1 or 2 per game without risking too much strategizing.
Yeah. The order was initially Only Town Vote -> Friendship is Magic -> Necroreveal -> Empower -> Last two but I had to shift things around because having any protective event after Necroreveal was going to be awful to play
