I'd forgotten about DS's version. I think it's my favorite.

I agree with what's been said about requiring majority is often unfair on those participating. However, getting lynched with a handful of votes because of a deadline is the most annoying thing I have to deal with in Mafia. I don't know how often it happens in general, but a majority of my lynches in the past three years have been at deadline. That's an anomaly though, and I recognize the need for reducing the number at deadline.

When I get back to modding (soon... I'll probably run some sort of game before the invitational) I am probably going to do a bit of experimenting with deadlines and voting. But more on that some other time. :)

I think he just needs to call it something other than "deadline". :)

Dropping by 1 each 24 hours thing would become more signficant as the game goes. You can hope that won't be a problem (most deadline lynches occur in the first couple days, I think), but it's still the opposite of what you want.
