Short and sweet:

How do you prefer your Mafia Day 1?

The traditional no lynch day phase?

Mod-forcing people to lynch Day 1, which means you get early action at the price of losing someone based on no info whatsoever? (Marvel Zombies had a variation on this -- you didn't HAVE to lynch day 1, but were given lots of incentive to)

Just skipping ahead to Night 1 after a discussion period?

Just skipping ahead to Night 1 immediately?

Something else entirely?

I have another option:

have the day 1 open with no lynch, only with random coments BUT in the same time everybody sending the night targets PMs. in that way we can have the night phase write up almost continuos after the day phase with ramdom comments.

hope you get what I meant: day 1 phase sending the night 1 targets in the same time.

well since we always say no lynch, starting in the night phase is okay. but in one game I had a day power, I could find alignment so I was like lets not skip it. and for the most part, if you die during the 1st night phase if you skip the day phase they would not even get a chance to speak,... so lets not change a thing :) but thats two dollars sorry I don't have any sense :confused:

let me add one thing for be even bether:

the day phase 1 is open only until all the PMs arrive and the write up for night 1 is already up. even more nice, right?

I think it depends if anyone has a day power. If you have a day cop, it's best not to skip the phase.

I think the mod is the final voice on that for some games it might be fine to skip to night phase.

I'm fine with the phase as long as we have some people that can do something with it. But We all know we're going to no lynch anyway. I'd say keep the day phase open until you get all the pms from the people that can do something with it. Otherwise, there's no real purpose to it.

But if people have something to do other than just Vote: No Lynch Day 1 is fine.

What about starting at night, but with a no kill policy? That way info gatherers can have a life, and generally come back next dy with real reason to kill someone.

I try to add in Day Phase powers or certain events or well, -something- to spice up the Day One's.

I think there should be a day one (even though it usually comes to no lynch) even if there aren't day powers, just so you can't confirm that there aren't.

I do think pm sending as soon as day one starts for night targets should be a general practice.

I think Day 1 is useful just so everyone has a chance to see that the game thread is up and they can chime in to subscribe to it.
