Seriously, if a mod sets a deadline, the players just have to see that they get get their stuff done in that time.
The hole in your logic is that this applies to nights too. If the mafia can't figure out who to kill in the time they've been given, too bad. If nagerous suggests an extension of the night phase in this game, I'll vote against that too.
In my admittedly limited experience, if people start mucking around with deadlines, the game is on its way out. See Chad's LOTR for a recent example.
If the mod thinks deadlines aren't necessary, that's his decision. But if he sets one, he should stick to it, barring extreme circumstances that don't apply here. Rules are rules. If you think they don't matter, discard them alltogether. You might as well say: "quoting PMs is illegal. But if you do it, I'll just make an exception." What's the point, then? Changing deadlines is altering the rules in mid play. I am very much against that.
Vote me if you believe I'm scum, but I will stand by this position in this game and in every other game I will ever play. If I ever get to modding a game myself, you can be sure that an X hour deadline will be an X hour deadline. If, as a mod, I want a lynch every day, I will state clearly in the rules that the day lasts until there is a lynch. X hours go by and there's no lynch/night kill? Town/mafia screwed up. Their problem.
Anyway, I think that's enough on this subject.
As I also said earlier while I don't like days dragging on forever, I personally would rather extend it a little bit to get a lynch rather then no lynch at all. With that said though, as you may have seen in the games I've modded my deadline stays with what I originally stated within a couple of minutes so that I can end it on a half hour or hour. I've had power roles pro and scum miss a deadline before and didn't wait. My point is though you shouldn't go around stating an idea like you did without expecting people to take it to mean you are scum even if you feel that way in all games. With that said, tomorrow you may or may not get my vote as one of us may die during the night or the lynch might reveal info causing me to vote for someone else as today was just the day 1 mess that causes everything to be overanalyzed.
Its Night Time, no talking..
