Just a quick question from an outsider. These mafia games do look intriguing, BUT i ve always declined since it seems like u ideally have to be online several times 24/7.
So is that the case? As im not the proud owner of a smartphone and hence dont have internet access all the time - (yes, dinosaur), that could be a HUGE problem, if the game is like so.
So questions:
1. Can u play this game with only logging in, say once a day? I doubt that would be optimal, but maybe?
2. How long does a game usually take? - (reason of course, the longer it is - the higher chance of "missing a turn"
.
3. Optional question: If u do miss a turn, (even if only by a few hours), what are the consequences? Yes i can almost figure this out myself: The voting stuff, influencing the voting stuff, night/day actions. I can almost deduce that would possibly suck for the other plys - just like skipping turns in RISK games can do.

@farspaceplace from another thread:
1. Logging in once a day, it would be playable, but far from optimal. The phases are always 24hrs long, so daily login is theoretically possible, but often the thread moves in flurries and it's useful to be able to be free at least twice per day.
2. Depends on the number of players. Most games last 2 weeks. I think the longest game lasted a month, but that was a very complicated game with lots of players.
3. Deadlines are pretty rigid. By necessity. Usually it's not too bad if you miss a deadline, but it is definitely a disadvantage.
Having said all that, you are still more than welcome to play! Mafia games are always better with more people. We could organise a game with 36 or 48hr phases to accommodate players with less availability.
Anyway, I hope this answered your questions
I hope we get to play a game soon
