That vote on me was pretty wild. Can you explain your exact reasoning?
Well for one I don't think it was that wild, I already said you and SFG were high on my list, and I recently started to have doubts about SFG's guilt.
I don't really have the time/energy right now to go through and make an extended post analysis, I have an assignment I have to finish in 4 hours..
Though I've done some thinking, and right now I actually think we should get rid of either Pas or kuwarudo. Yes, they can be prodded/replaced, but if they only respond when prodded/once every 24 hours, it could be a while before both of them are replaced, and it seems like every game we are left with people who we have no clue what to think about at the end. Sure we replaced Olinad eventually in M2, but it was really too little too late, we really had no idea what to think of Wojjan until the game was over. I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to get stuck in that situation again.

Therefore
unvote
vote Pasonia

EDIT: also, a vote count would be nice

Finally someone realizes this truth. This is the first game of Mafia I've ever played. Due to this I'm still not playing very well. I'm still trying to get the hang of this. And yes, I know I should've joined a newbie mafia game first.

I have nothing I feel like commenting on at this point in time.
Just posting so people know I'm actually reading.

Oh and instead of killing off people who don't talk straight away (which I think is a tactic that the mafia would consider using) you should encourage them to speak first, give them a day and if they still refuse to speak actively, kill them off. Lynching people who act like this first day might be a mistake because they could just be gathering information to use the next day (or they could be an aux role trying to hide.)

Thing is, they are just as likely to be a mafia trying to hide. If they were gathering information for the next day, wouldn't they be asking questions and stimulating discussions as opposed to hiding in a corner the whole time?
Also I don't really see why mafia would want to get rid of quiet people, I would think they would want to have people no one knows anything about in the final days to cause confusion. (it worked the last 3 games...)
They've been prodded twice and we have told them several times that we need them to talk more, so I think they've been given more than a fair chance.

I'll have to go with adam on this issue. It seems 0_o is trying to kill anyone here on purpose, as if he's not really part of the Town. At least that's what I see of him.

"kill anyone here on purpose"? What? Firstly if I was really desperate to get rid of anyone I probably wouldn't have switched off of you after I got you on L-1 (inadvertently mind you, I didn't think rust would swoop in right after me).
My reasons for voting Pasonia come from the outcome of every mafia game so far. We are left with one or two people we have no clue what to think of, making us unable to make a well-informed decision on who to lynch at LyLo. I'm thinking for the endgame here - the more information we have against everyone in the endgame, the better our chances of winning.

Well actually, the easy thing for mafia to do would be to keep their trap shut and let the town lynch anyone who isn't them. I, on the other hand, do care about who is lynched, and think we should get rid of the dead weight that's gonna kill us at the end.

EDIT: Also, if it was Pas alone who wasn't talking, I probably would let it slide for a day. But now there are 2 inactive players, and if we don't get rid of one today, there's a good shot we are gonna be at Day 3, 5 people, with someone we don't know anything about (basically the same situation we've been in every other game). We have a much better shot Day 3 if we have sufficient information about everyone there.

I had forgotten roles are not revealed. Down the road there'd probably be at least one Mafia on each lynch against anyone here, though, so hopping off the bandwagon against would be to avoid this. Of course, this is a WIFOM situation.

I hadn't thought through what I said, so I'll retract my statement, if I can.

Still, I'm not convinced we vote against Pasonia or any non-talker. What happened to nardi M2?

Ok, Bagelbob is replacing kuwarudo (and I can't imagine him being too quiet :P) so since Pas is the only inactive player right now, so I'll stick to my word and give him a day to join in the conversation (though he sticks around and keeps up the 10 word posts, he's facing my wrath tomorrow)

unvote
revote strager

I'll go ahead and confirm that I'm replacing Kuu here in the thread.

I've read through the game once and to be Frank, you all look guilty.
It's a good thing I'm not Frank.

My Initial suspicions are against SFG and strager, but if I bring in past games, I'd expect Suburu to be way more suspicious of SFG.

So, Lurking is bad
This post has good reasons for voting almost anyone and
asking other people to name people as scum is a scum-tactic since it causes distrust and it's very unlikely at this stage that anyone gets it right.

Also

There are rare cases that a townie hammers without waiting for some discussion, but those are rare.
Hehe... that explains why you're reluctant to vote SFG

So, in conclusion, you've all done things that make you look like scum, so I don't know what to do.
I'm going to re-read the game and see if I catch anything this time.

@strager
You seem to be almost lynched. You were breadcrumbing cop earlier, if you want to claim, I'd suggest doing it now.

Alright, I re-read through and I didn't see much else, except something about 0_o rubbed me the wrong way. It's probably just my gut and my tiredness, and I don't have anything to back it up. It's too late to make a difference anyway.

Next morning, the group awoke to find SFG missing. They all seem to remember a huge thunderstorm last night, complete with lightning flashes and thunderous booms... or was it a thunderstorm? The ground was dry as dust...

---

SFG has been killed and is now eliminated from this game.
Day 2 begins immediately, and ends Thursday 16th June, 5pm GMT+8

With 7 alive, it takes 4 to lynch.

Mmk, did a quick check on something I was thinking about.

I don't know if it's just me, but it feels like adam's been a lot less active this game. Looking through his posts, I see some seriousness, but little content overall. His posts are also not that frequent.

I'm not one who has played with him before, does anyone else feel like this is the case?

adam: Do you have a particular reason that you're not really posting as much? Lack of interest?

I'll do a full reread soon.

And when I said re-read 3, I meant examine SFG's posts. Since she was the NK, it's important to figure out WHY she was NKed. Thus, her posts from the previous day need to be examined.

While reading, keep in mind 2 things
1. SFG was not voting to lynch strager
2. SFG was probably the 2nd most suspicious person after strager

I can come up with 3 reasons that SFG would be NKed.
1. SFG was right on the money. Pasonia or rust (her two main suspicions) are scum. Also including the possibility of adam, but early game and not so much later
2. The Scum wanted to find out who each other are. One posted to Kill: SFG to test if the other was SFG or Suburu (WIFOM argument as pointed out by adam prior)
3. Strager was a scum. Echo didn't tell the other that he was alone and he posted Kill: SFG expecting his "buddy" to either disagree or agree, but being surprised by the day.

All 3 of these are made because there was a short night.

Anyone, Questions, Comments, Alternatives?

I told you that I take a different approach to each game Subi.
This game is quite different to a normal mafia game so I decided to play it quite differently, I will probably make more posts per day as the game goes on.

OK, re-read 3 has produced some things I want to look at.

This post bothers me. 0_o is speculating on the game set-up instead of scum-hunting, a supposed scum-tell, but it's really too early for that to mean much. However, he's making a case that Mafia are going to look like Townies. This is scummy because it gets people thinking that townies are really scum.

[quote="Pasonia":702ff]EDIT @ adam: I'm sorry I haven't voted in weeks. >.>Sorry for inactivity? Then later he says that he had planned to lurk this game. Those two don't seem to go together.

[quote="0_o":702ff]woah im on L-2 guys... watch where you're voting..

hey strager I haven't heard any claims against being mafia from you either.. :O

I'm not mafia

EDIT: also seems kinda fishy to me to put a "random" vote against someone who already has 2...

vote WojjanSelf-preservation is Scummy. Also, here 0_o says that putting someone at L-2 is "kinda fishy"
Which he himself did twice.

Pictures serve to distract people and generally hurt scum-hunting.

rust seems to have no problems putting someone at L-1.

[quote="Wojjan":702ff]I lost count, am I on L-1 yet?
I take it this game won't last long for me this way :(Again, self-preservation is scummy.

More self-preservation

Adam in this post is asking other people to point fingers at each other. This isn't laziness, this is scummy.

Again, self-preservation

This post is very interesting. At the time, stragers vote was the one he received when he switched with SFG. I.E. he was NOT voting who he thought was scum. I think this gives credit to the "strager was a goon" theory.

I don't see what's wrong with that post really. Truth is, we are going to have to dig deeper to find mafia this game, so we are gonna have to look a little harder than previous games if we want to win.

Self-preservation is Scummy. Also, here 0_o says that putting someone at L-2 is "kinda fishy"

I didn't say putting someone on L-2 is scummy, I said putting someone on L-2 by a supposed "random vote" is a little suspicious.

Pictures serve to distract people and generally hurt scum-hunting.
Oh come on :P I doubt posting a picture is going to hinder anyone's scum-finding process.

more stuff about self-preservation
Of course I was gonna try to keep myself from getting lynched, I am the only one who I am sure isn't mafia, and personally I think I can be useful for the town. I don't really see how not wanting to get lynched at RVS is scum tell :|

Sorry for inactivity? Then later he says that he had planned to lurk this game. Those two don't seem to go together.I think by not voting in weeks means that he hasn't placed a vote in a WW/mafia game for weeks (hence why he forgot to bold his vote)

rust seems to have no problems putting someone at L-1.
Well he did already explain that his behavior in the first half of that day was to "make things more interesting", and he is a newbie, but I'm not sure what to think myself.

Again, self-preservation is scummy.Again, at RVS I don't see anything wrong with wanting to stick around. Though I don't really see this as self-preservation, but what do I know

Adam in this post is asking other people to point fingers at each other. This isn't laziness, this is scummy.
I see this as an attempt to get people voting for who they actually think is mafia, as opposed to all the joke votes, tying votes, etc. that we've been doing up till then. I was actually gonna post that myself, before I saw that adam already did.

This post is very interesting. At the time, stragers vote was the one he received when he switched with SFG. I.E. he was NOT voting who he thought was scum. I think this gives credit to the "strager was a goon" theory.
Possibly, but keep in mind that strager was the one who requested to switch votes, and that was still around the time where most of the votes were jokes. I'm still suspecting strager being mafia, I just don't know if this is good evidence for it or not.

adam has not done ANY scum-hunting and none of his posts has any quality.
I'll let adam speak for himself on this one

As predicted, I was away for a while, due to massive amounts of visiting town halls.

BageBob claimed doctor. Yay, now we know. Thanks for making this harder for all of us, we're bound to lose you on N2. Unless of course you're a scum. I do think your theory is credible, but if I were scum, I would have seen this happen too, and theree's no solid proof yet you're the doctor, since you can freely say who you protected as long as that person is still alive.

't seems I missed that post on adam, and I checked it again. There's no possible way you can see this how Bagel did without looking for reasons to suspect him.

Bagel, there is nothing wrong with self-preservation, especially in the RVS. Or what for most seemed as the RVS. You're, again, looking for ways to get suspicion on others. Scummy in my yes

Pasonia, why are you even in? You're rarely here at all, and vote without reason. Maybe he sees no interesting things in the day phase since his time to shine is at night? Or is he just trying to lay low? I wou:ldn't have any clue.
