Just now occurring to me that a lone wolf can falsely claim the 1x cop to confirm themselves as such to all the other mafia.
I don’t know how useful that is in practice, but it’s certainly an option.

Also proves we cant handle more than 1 game
Let’s get this over with.
It will take a couple of months before this game will resurface. Instead of waiting idly for that to happen, I’ll open a poll to see whether there are even enough people interested in this setup to begin with.
If there are 14 people who are not interested in this setup, then I’ll cancel the game immediately so we won’t have to waste even more time in the future.
Are you interested in playing this game?
- Yes, as a player
- Yes, as a spectator
- No

IMO it’ll fill
Ice cream mafia appeared to have significantly less hype behind it, and it filled with the same playercount in only a week

btw
does this mean it can’t be used after D2, and therefore if no wolf enters by then the dayvig is lost?

I do have some theories about optimal play, but I’d rather not say them for now thbthtbthbthbth 
With even number of players, day vig appears pretty weak, because it won’t decrease the number of miseleminations mafia has to make.
If mafia abandons day vig, they get the missed extra kill after MYLO when everyone votes sleep anyway.
Optimal play for mafia might be - never join mafia chat until one mafia gets eliminated. Then remaining two wolves join.
(I could have made a mistake or missed something though, didn’t read that carefully)

optimal play is to sic the cop on top wagon who’s also not going to show up for the last hour of EOD

Would mafia be allowed to do proxied/conditional actions? IE:
“Join mafia chat at [time] and shoot [player], if no shot has taken place by this time.”

wait clearly the optimal play is to have everybody give hypothetical mafia checks as to if they’ve joined wolfchat who their partners are.

this seems not robust against a single wolf flip

…oh that’s actually possible
I’d probably add the restriction that the cop must be given to a player who lives that phase (and give the mafia the opportunity to submit a second name during the day, if their top choice gets executed)
There’s definitely other reasonable ways to resolve it though
