Are endgamed players dead

[the worst]

Sorry if I'm being obtuse - is there a reason for the question? If it's just semantics, I'm not sure it really matters too much. If it becomes game related through some kind of mechanic, I would probably suggest being very clear about what you mean when explaining the game's mechanics.

If a player reaches endgame and cannot achieve a win condition, it doesn't really matter whether they're alive or not, I don't think... they've lost.


With respect to mafia wincons, they vary across games for balance reasons. It usually depends on mod preference + mechanics + setup really.

For example in a nightless game, if the mafia'a win condition is "kill all townies or have nothing be able to stop this", is 3:3 a win? or a stalemate? in a game with a vigilante, too, having a win condition of parity is a pretty important balancing factor.

there's a fair bit to consider on that front. but let me know what your angle is with the endgamed = dead question if you want a second opinion.

Endgaming is just a forgone conclusion to the results (scum have the majority), it's skipping the remaining days and nights where the rest of town dies.

^ this is basically correct imo
