What would happen if every other player in the game targeted the veteran in the same night?

What happens if someone ties the vote at the end of a day where the players have to kill a bloom spore spreader?
Everybody dies! (Well, everyone is effected. Some people might not die due to abilities/tech)

An automatic extension if one is still available. If not, both people would probably be lynched.

What are the chances of being given an attribute? (i.e. how many players roughly get given one in a typical game?)

It varies a lot. The script balances everything by a total weight, so it's part how the math works and part how the RNG decides to throw stuff together.

But if you want to check how things have been going, here is the list of all previous games:

Thanks for the list. I had already made a start looking through the games. Does anyone have any pre-game paranormal play advice?

Flavor isn't just for flavor. It indicates actions performed and their source. E.G., if somebody gets nightkilled and their house is a bloody mess, then they were eaten by doppelgangers. If somebody gets nightkilled and their body is riddled with holes, they were killed by a vigilante.

This works for night action PM as well. Usually you know what you were targeted by and what they did, but not who did it (if the action performed is one that logically the target would know about).

Replacement in. Don't know if I'll be well enough by the time it starts, but I'll certainly be by the time anyone drops out, if any.

I've been reading the post-game reflections for each of the games. There's some pretty funny moments:

And from now on, Lynch All Townies rule is in effect.

No, people need to work on the whole not lynching me thing.
Maybe you should stop being a drama queen and voting for yourself.

(...also, a request: please don't call it "assbot". It sounds like an automated sodomy device. What's wrong with just "bot"? it's unambiguous enough, there are no other bots... "killbot" would do if you must have two syllables.)

How did I miss signups for a Paranormal? I loved the last one, where I learned Jim will always see me as scum, that town players lie, and that being suicidal town at day end can lynch scum.

If you have the time, you should play. Paranormal hasn't been run for over a year.
