Would love to play but unfortunately can't this time round.

Important advice to the people that are playing:

Remember not to vote Astro otherwise you'll be called a ****** your name might pop up in his death book!!!!!!!! @Enricky.

<laugh> Thinking about it, I think it was actually Magic, not yourself!

In my defence though I always get confused between you two, not sure why...

It's because we're both young and good looking <ok>

And it must have been Magic, as I've not played this game before mate.

Ah, a newbie. Heads up, the winner is the guy that's gets the most votes ;)
 
Suicide townie role...?

A Suicidal player will passively commit suicide when a certain time-based trigger occurs. The most common instance of this is the Suicidal Townie, which will passively die Night 1. There is nothing that can be done to stop a Suicidal player from dying at the designated time.

Because there is nothing to be done to stop a Suicidal player from dying, many consider this a bastard role.

Suicidal players have been seen as several different alignments.

Variations
What distinguishes Suicidal from other roles and modifiers like Weak and Lovers is that Suicidal players die at set times. This can either be a post count (after 24 posts have been made) or at a certain phase (Night 2). Conditionals may be set to determine whether the Suicidal effect takes place; for instance, the moderator may allow a Suicidal Godfather to live beyond its appointed time of death if it is the only Mafioso remaining.

Use and Power
For Town, it's pure negative utility and borderline pointless unless the Suicidal player also has some kind of nice power role to balance it out. For scum, conditional Suicidal modifiers can be used to balance a game such that the positive feedback from scum starting to come out ahead is limited.

In Bastard Mod games, Suicidal players dying very early on (e.g. before the end of the first Day) may suggest that they are still participating in the game, though apparently dead.

Quite like the idea of them having a set number of comments before dying. sounds ideal for AFC <whistle>

That website is funny:

"scum have been known to deliberately fakeclaim Doctor with the express purpose of drawing a counterclaim"
"Massclaim is frequently employed as a last resort for Towns in LyLo"

all quite reasonable, but then they go OTT:

"the actual probability of someone voting for someone else in the Mafia Discussion Forum is approximately: 1 - (155/(155+n)), where n is the number of posts in a thread"
