Ostracism - Simple yet challenging game of mafia [Concluded]

I can see people did not heed my advice. Well, I can predict the outcome of this game already. ;)

Somehow I had counted on you and I being two of the tied players...

A spread vote by the Athenians means death in this game. Pick a target and crunch.

So you're suggesting that the desired result is a more unified Athenian vote?

I haven't played these kinds of games before but just wondering, is creating a "consensus" in thread about the voting, lets say:

DiY: "Alright folks, today we'll all pile our votes on person A"

What you are suggesting?

I mean like currently the votes are spread as -most- people are voting for who they think is their top suspect, without announcing it, yet wouldn't an announced bandwagon target (possibly justified or something but the purpose of beefy's game was to reduce the ability to garner justification by a large margin right?) be easier for the spies to hide in, as long as they aren't the target.

Clarification needed

In my opinion, the game under these rules is radically different from a traditional mafia game.

The reason is, we do not know who the leading candidate for the lynch is. And, the mafia aren't going to be voting for themselves.

If the vote is close, the odds are quite against the mafia being lynched. And, the mafia need to provide no justification for their votes. That's why no one found me suspect in the first round, yet I still got two votes.

If we do not remove the ability of the spies to manipulate the tally, via bandwagon (and this is one of the few times I would advocate such) then be prepared to lose this game, period. A divided town with no clue what the tally is, is not going to win the game. That's pretty much a fact.

Honestly, how are the mafia going to get lynched with 1 vote on them? Seriously.

Tally manipulation will be gone when we are down to 6 left.
That is not the spy ability. That is a game system to prevent towns winning easily.

So that means one of the other two must have been the spy, so we know who to vote for next round and if it is incorrect then go after the other one.

Night 1 summery



I-K was walking in the dark alley, back home. He saw a man blocking his way.

"Kind sir, would you move out of the way please? I'm trying to go through here" he asked.
Man shook his head and said "Enemy at the hot gates. We must not let them in."

I-K being a historian, guessed that the man was talking about Thermopylae.

"Where is your enemy? This is Athens and I am a fellow Athenian." I-K answered.
"Indeed." said the man. "Indeed you are an Athenian. But you greedy Athenians are the very thing we are afraid of. Athenian will wreck the Greek culture if they're greed. They must be stopped."

I-K figured out that this was the Spartan spy everyone has been talking about. But couldn't do anything to dodge the knife.

.................................................................................................... ..

With I-K found dead in a corner where crimes are uncommon meant someone was afraid of his presence and wanted him out of this world.
One stab at the heart was definitely a work of professional.

Citizens gathered up in the meeting square and started discussing again... Who could be the traitor.
