    I'm not committed to over-managing anything, no. I just want to make sure that we start to create a record early, rather than waking up on day three and realizing that we have no idea what the hell's going on.

    EDIT: I'm also not demanding control of the project. Just suggesting that there should be one.

    I may be misunderstanding Grimmy’s proposal, but it doesn’t sound like there would be a “dispatcher” assigning destinations or anything; each group would go wherever they felt was appropriate. So groups could coordinate with each other to take particular objectives, which would help avoid over-splitting.

    Unless I’ve got it all wrong, in which case ignore me.

    Groups should absolutely not share their destination with other groups before vote close. This is to keep as much info from the mafia as possible. Because I guarantee they can counter us.

    Also, someone from each group should report where that group went. This should be done after vote close but before narration.

    Obi is actually laying a trap for the Sith.

    If they strike him down, he will become more powerful than they could possibly imagine.

    The idea is that there will probably be a couple groups with no mafia. Those groups are vitally important to establishing a solid village base and doing things in secret so the mafia don't know everything and can't perfectly counter the whole village.

    Any hidden mafia members will surely relay their destination to the rest of the mafia. They may even try to convince their groups all to go to the same place, which might be bad because they probably have something that affects the entire planet (otherwise we could just all dogpile on the planets one by one, so something is probably in the design to prevent that strategy). So we should consider this when we design our plan.

    Average mafia distribution = 1/5 (20%). 30 * .2 = 6
    Group size 3 yields 10 groups, infiltration <= 60%
    Group size 4 yields 8 groups (4p x6, 3p x2), infiltration <= 75%

    Yes. But most importantly, we gravely restrict their ability to hide.

    Conversely, if our enemies want something, we should attempt to deny them it.

    And any overt suggestions for courses of action, such as that, invites preparation against it.

    Letting the individual groups decide with no interference would provide more insight into the enemy's thought process.

    You're hugely influential, both in personal charisma and through sheer force of caps. Saying "I recommend only one cell travel to Dxun tonight" is going to have an impact in the decision making process of players; they're going to shy away from there.

    Good. We want them to push an agenda as a group, because it will make the individual members apparent when compared against the greater noise.

    Ok, i guess. I'm just worried about some kind of location based effect that is really bad for the village, and the mafia determining who is on that planet when they set it off. Everyone should pay close attention to their in group conversation to see who is driving the decisions.

    That may be true, but your particular kind of statement requires a lot of communication between groups to actually happen. It's easy enough to suggest, broadly, that NOBODY go to a certain place, or A LOT of people, and maintain some level of anonymity and individual decision-making. But trying to specify that exactly 1 group go somewhere would require someone to know who's going where, and that kind of information is very dangerous.

    Nope, but Random.org's list randomization feature is non-persistent. Roll 30d30, cross 'em off the list as they come up, then roll Xd30 where X is the number of leftovers.

    It's a pain in the ass, but it's traceable.

    the benefit to orokos is that once you do it, its stays recorded.

    just roll 3dx where x = number of remaining players. the three numbers rolled are the players on the list. duplicates trickle down the list. use the signup list.
