I agree with Worgen to a point. I actually liked the change to priority, but I'd like to see a modified version if we ever decide to go at it again. Imo protections should always come before kills, but no specific order to protections (still keep the first come first serve attitude). Potentially in that instance, say the doctor protects person A, and 30 minutes later the jk locks up the doctor. In that instance both person a and the doc get a protection. If it was flipped, only the doc would get the protection. When it comes to kills, they should happen after the protections, regardless of input time, but be ordered against other kills depending on time.
I do like Worgens idea of if an action is stated prior to night, it's counted as having been done at the time night began. That's actually how I thought it occurred. I was super busy at work yesterday and didn't know when is be able to return to my phone and get my action in. I feared if I posted too late that the mafia would hit me prior to testing his claim.
Lastly, there is an imbalance with protections not having prio over kills when a SK is present (especially the strongman, as worgen suggested). In the closed setup it does add to the confusion but also gives the strongman "power" to a quick or lucky poster.

I went back and forth in my kills almost nightly. Maybe I shouldn't have used the edit just to show what exactly I was thinking, but j was tryin to keep it clean and concise for Krayzy and Keleb. I tried RPing as much as I could in my journal and came close to messaging you, but went to Majad instead. On the night of anakso's unfortunate demise, I think I had 3 different kill targets arranged. I'm actually surprised I still got my kill in prior to the mafia. I for sure thought I was late on that and that the mafia randomly wanted to kill one of their own to impart confusion on the SK or vigi. I didn't even fathom a bomb. Whn I finally did think of the bomb, I thought of our old bomb and not the new first target activates and second target blows up. I figured listo protected me night 2.
Vigilante was a ton of fun to play. Definitely a different style when you're killing for the town, but don't know what you're going after. As scum you know everyone you kill brings you closer to victory. As vigilante, you fear that each kill will be a detriment to your team. So exhausting.

Awesome idea with the journal. Such a blast and also much easier to keep thought processes going in a thread without looking like you're just talking to yourself. And yes, I was stressed both times I was mafia as well. It's difficult trying to keep that townie game going as mafia with the fear of not posting enough or posting way too damn much.
