Game over then.

I quite dislike 24h night phases. IMO 12h should be enough as people generally aren't that inactive if they sign up for a mafia game and have a role.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

I think I got them all.

Yes, mods and ASSistant mods like me can mark and delete multiple posts at one time -- thankfully.

I think Sasaki is a bad vote. I have yet to see one good reason for voting for him.

Im getting a flashback from andres game here, i could swear you used that exact same line... its less influential second time round

Im really not sure what to do here, i have been in the situation twice where an opportunity to lynch sasaki has come and twice i thought im not just going to vote for a reputation, twice i was wrong and should have voted for sasaki (though in Capo he wasn't mafia when the opportunity came and he didn't win)

I figure there is only 1/14.5 chance of him being mafia which is a very slim chance, but after being burnt twice i can't let it happen again, i think i would have more trust in PK further down the line so i guess it isn't just a kill sasaki vote....

Unvote EliteFerret Vote sasaki

bandwagonning is fun

I think I am the only person who voted for me who did not bandwagon.

(boy that is a confusing sentence if you think about it.)

I think I am the only person who voted for me who did not bandwagon.

There is pretty much never any legitimate reason to vote for someone on the first day. Therefore bandwagoning on Day 1 is as acceptable a reason as any other. We're picking randomly, so no selection is empirically better or worse than the rest. Ideally, the best thing to do would be to not lynch anyone, but the rules pretty much never allow for that.

It's absurd to expect anyone to think you're innocent on Day 1 alone just based on your public posting strategy. Your attempts to make your joke seem like legitimate proof of innocence actually tends to do the opposite for me.

It's absurd to think I expect it either. But with so little to go on, I hope my display helps prove my innocence regardless of the outcome. If I live, I might have a little "innocence cred". If I get lynched, I might have a little "innocence cred". Either way, I will help the town.

You better than anyone know I will not sit idle as a dead townie.

vote: PrivateerKev

Because I don't buy his reasoning, and none of the others (save maybe Sasaki) seem suspicious as of yet.

[Kagemusha]

Unvote and Vote :Privaterkeev This could be just a bold mafia tactics from your part, besides i havent had the chance to bandwagon yet.

[Andres]

Are we seriously discussing the validity of somebody's reasoning for voting himself?

*sigh*

Of course PK is joking and of course his nonsensical reasoning doesn't clear him nor does it make him guilty.

Why are you guys so serious about this?

There is pretty much never any legitimate reason to vote for someone on the first day. Therefore bandwagoning on Day 1 is as acceptable a reason as any other. We're picking randomly, so no selection is empirically better or worse than the rest. Ideally, the best thing to do would be to not lynch anyone, but the rules pretty much never allow for that.

The picking of a lynch target on day 1 is in fact indeed pretty much ad random.

But that doesn't mean that day 1 isn't as good a day to find mafia as any other day. The more discussion we have, the more posts and the more points of view we have and the more material we can analyse.

Bandwagoning, is not an acceptable reason for voting somebody. Also, if we place 10+ votes on one particular player, the mafiosi won't join the discussion or will simply jump on the bandwagon, making jokes like all the rest of us.

If we keep 2 or 3 votes on e.g. 8 or so players, combined with some vote switching instead however, then more players run a real risk of getting lynched. A mafioso tied with 5 players having two votes while one other player has 3 votes will feel pressure and might start to talk and make a slip-up.

We won't get useful material on Day 1 with 10 or more votes without reason on one particular player

EDIT: or two particular players for that matter. Now we are focusing on 2 out of 38 suspects and we're letting 36 others of the hook...

It is 1 in 18 actually... Try to make it sound as though the town actually has a chance in lynching the mafia? when you know for fact that the mafia is you yourself... I am onto you Mr. AFIA!

FoS LittleGrizzly

Unvote: EF

Will figure out who to bandwagon later

[GeneralHankerchief]

There was a question a few pages back about double lynches. In the event of a tie I'll call a revote between the top vote-getters.

If everybody votes "abstain" then I will have no choice but to WoG the person who started the trend.

[LittleGrizzly]

It is 1 in 18 actually...

lol my maths is a bit off today, i was thinking 39 players in total (but thats including me twice) i was including the 2 dead players, one of them could have been mafia, so yeah 1 in 18 chance pretty much assuming the 2 killed were townies...

[shlin28]

Why would mafia kill mafia?

Logic wins again

Edit: Even if it was 39, it still wont be 1/14.5, it would be 1/19.5... FoS LittleGrizzly

yeah like i said my maths is a bit off today, for some reason i halved 29 instead of 39

Both the mafia now each other, seems a bit obvious now it didn't occur to me when i made the post though...
