Toaster: No, it isn't a problem. I just wasn't aware people launched lynch/hammer vote at each other this early.  Didn't seem to happen in the current BM. As for what you said, you know the general power level of at least one item, your own, so you do know about what level of power we are looking at here.

Everyone: What does everyone think of the 72 hour days. Will this make it easier or harder to find scum?

NQT: All I know, from the on BM game I lasted half a day in, is that apparently MAstahCheese is an avid scumhunter as town.  No lurking there.
Now, what are you going to do about the fact that you are a big target for any kill roles.

RangerCado: Pleasure to meet you too.  I think that the scumhunt takes precedence, but... I'm reading through the OP and can't find any mention of a puzzle... can someone tell me what that means, it was mentioned at the beginning of the game.  For the mafia types, staying under wraps and not slipping up is the most important thing.  I'm actually not convinced that there aren't four mafia roles: just because there are at least three does not mean there aren't more.  Slightly-bastard game, so that wouldn't bu unheard of.
Also, who said there are mages?  As far as I know and NQT surmised in his rather hypothetical post of possible roles, there aren't any mages.  Are you, perhaps, a rock mage?

... Preview is your friend

Mastahcheese: you are the doctor and have two obvious choices: a confirmed townie or an unconfirmed but claimed cop.  Which one do you try to protect?

MOWE: You are being pushed hard by someone who you find to be highly suspicious.  However, you lack a good case against this person.  What do you do?

Maybe you could solve the problem of eliminating players before the start of the game by using one role more than there are players, not assigning town roles to players till Day start and instead assign them to numbers. Scum pick a number, and that town dies.

You could just as easily get the same result by having multiple possible arrangements, like in the current BM. The players know that there is at least one power role, but not necessarily both. I don't know how Tiruin picked it, but I would guess it was random. This has the exact same effect as a random NK, see the BM setup and do the math. Start with one cop, one jailkeepeer, and four town, then nk a random one. You get the three possibilities listed there.

TCM, you realize that they will be sorely disappointed when they realize that we have no money to pay them.

Actually, TCM, what you described, with interrogation and whatnot, was exactly what I expected.

Probably, I need to figure out what everyone is doing, but I'll join you for that.
