Sorry that it may seem like I'm changing things for you right in the middle of the game, but here is my explanation for the original planning of how many Night kills you'll have. I devised the Night kills number to be 3 until there are less than 40 people in the game and 2 until there are less than 15 people in the game (and then only one after 15 people or less). The reason I felt I had to do this was simple: If I only had you all able to kill ONE person (all long, from the start), the game would take FOREVER AND A FREAKING DAY. Seriously, one lynch in the Day and one kill at Night? In a game with over 70 people? Yeah, that would have taken forever. So it had to be more than one kill, for sure. I went with three. However, three ALWAYS (throughout the whole game) would be too overpowering in the long run. Especially when town's numbers dwindled. At the "killing three people a Night" rate, you'd EASILY win just by killing three people alone, every Night. ESPECIALLY if you just killed all those who were active and left those who are not even posting for days at a time alive. The game would come to a standstill, with nobody posting at all (other than scum). Scum would then get to be TOO powerful and control everything. So I had to cut down the number of kills you have over time...to balance the game out. This is also why I (unfortunately) had to keep subbing in people, too. I can't have you all killing all the most active and then leaving the 15 or so who aren't posting at all...because again, that would leave nobody talking in the game at all (or voting) other than scum, who would be the ONLY ones left active at that time. Hoping this all explains better why I had to cut down kills, over time...and why I had to keep subbing people in. Normal games aren't like this...normal games usually have just one kill for the scum team and ONLY one. And there are never this many sub ins.

Yeah, you're making the best of a bad situation. I can't say I'd do any better. But someone has to complain about it.

Just for the record, I will be subbing in a NEW SCUM player (replacing either Ulla or Mistde) if I get at least two more subs.
Next sub will go to town again...but the one after that will go to you all.
