A new day came on The Prometheus.
Again the crew were summoned together. They were not jovial, they suspected and feared what the night had brought. The somber look of the Captain only deepened their feelings.
"Crew, it has been another bad night. A shredded copy of the book Animal Liberation was found in the trash compactor.
As you all know, this was a protected text of the old tyranny. I believe that this means the tool of the tyranny is still aboard, and attempting to cover his tracks. We must continue our efforts to uproot him.
Fortunately for us, it appears that this enforcer of tyranny does not have great knowledge of mechanics. But he needs only succeed once to destroy all that we - and all that humanity - have so desperately struggled for."
And with that the crew turned again to the business of deciding who to imprison.
The Day has begun, and will continue for roughly 24 hours. Please try to keep a tally going.
Ja Mata, Tosa.

Why has there been no killings yet? I can see no good reason for the agent to work like this.
Is there anybody of the crew who hasn't joined in yet?

I have a growing feeling that this is not at all a classical mafia game.
Like Kung Fu mafia, I suspect we are up against something new.
We are not killing those we lynch, we just imprison them (someone could free them?).
There are no killings, but we know this agent has a mission to destroy us.
What I suspect is something along a game of hangman. We lynch a number of players and when we don't get it right, the agent gets another clue that will make him able to destroy our ship, killing all of us in one go.
It's a game of chance so to speak and we need to guess right.

I think Sigurd is on to something. Reading through the first post again...
We need active discussion from everyone.
On the plus side, I think we are up against a single person.
Log2:
I slept in, this bed is great. When I woke up to take a trip to the bathroom I heard voices in the hallway. It was Andres talking behind my back about how he didn't trust me and would rather see me dead than alive...
Someone knocked on the door and said we all needed to give a name off someone we didn't trust, I had no clue what was going on but I just felt tired and wanted to go to bed. I put the name of the backstabbing Andres on a piece of paper and returned to my lovely, still warm, bed. I slept for the rest of the day.
Abandon all hope.
Andres yells at the lazy Mithrandir:
Your vote has to be in the proper format to be valid!
Like this :
Vote : [insert name]
Anyway, he talked, so Unvote : Mithrandir
Vote : Alexander the Pretty Good.
Haven't heard much from you yet.

Annoying crewmates, keeping me up, keeping me from my job as the proffessional bed-tester.
I put a post-it on my "do-not-disturb" sign saying:
Unvote:Andres
Vote:Pevergreen
Unvote:pevergreen
Vote:Andres
After that, I went back to my lovely bed, hoping that the message would be clear, anyone disturbing my lovely sleep or talking behind my back would be post-it-ed.

I heard rumours about that Mithrandir guy reading dirty camel magazines in his room. There's a reason why his door is always locked you know...

I spent several minutes reading everyone's posts, and it does appear that Alexander and Glyphz are lurking. In my experience, Glyphz usually does better than that. I haven't seen him miss a turn in any of my games, that I can recall.

I have taunted Mafia before, but this is just a new high (low?). Gentlemen, it seems that the Mafia here are too stupid to kill anyone.
I don't care what kind of plans they have, but the town is used to getting two people killed in standard games. 4 kills missed already! At the very least, kills should have been carried out for one of the two nights. I mean, I'm all for trying new things and experimenting, but let's not forget the purpose of the game.
Remember the long used (maybe long forgotten) maxim:
Always trust in the stupidity of the Mafia
On the other hand, maybe they knew they would lose and are going for leniency. My lawyer says with this kinda of behavior, an insanity plea would be convincing.
Also, since my moral compass Aries777777 has not spoken, I think today I will follow Andres.

I'm thinking it was a mistake to set "auto-logging on." It's hard to find ones I want between the hours of snoring...
People keep whispering in the halls when I walk by. Then I found that weird scrap of paper taped to my door. Big black circle on it, dunno what that means...
I think I'll vote with Mithrandr. He cooks a pretty decent Meatballs: Ready to Eat. And I don't want to get lynched!

With no one dead, one can safely conclude with a very reasonable margin of error that this is not an example of roleblocking. If mafia were roleblocked, the blocker would say who they blocked and it would nail the mafia right away. The only other explanation I can think of is cults.
http://www.mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Cult
I think that the lack of kills could be due to the idea of mafia not killing, but forcibly converting townies to scum. I'm asking the veterans here if they've encountered anything like this before, and if in that circumstance it was not a cult. Please contribute to the discussion here.

Conversions have been featured in several games.
Could also be the mafioso hasn't been told that they are a mafioso.
Could be Reenk is the agent -- he's devious enough (and I for one am glad to have him back and playing).

Sorry
Recently, all I've recently been doing since take off was 'R&R' stuff' (RL) and some board game, which I stumbled upon in the. I couldn't get my hands off of it, or my butt for that matter. I've lost track of time (deadline) and didn't even noticed that new face in the cryo-chamber (Rythmic).
If someone asks for me, I'll be around asking others on what transpired the last day or so (starts to read posts).

Hmmm.... No kills?
I'd think the agent would be around offering gold to switch sides, or letters to join some crown. However that's just somethin from a book I came across along with that game board I talked about earlier , concerning some 18th century criminals in a wooden vessel who call themselves privateers.
(really, there's somthing not right about that board game... how can the lady figure be the strongest, and taller, piece. Plus, the horseman piece gets outrun by moving castles and religious men who can't even walk straight)
Besides, people, I don't like the way you keep a tally.
