I never said anyone was mafia. I just said I found it unlikely that both t_co and DoctorH are mafia. DoctorH winning sherrif is pretty much a forgone conclusion at this point. Whatever it doesn't matter, I'm not voting for anyone since I'm too "stupid" too use my vote correctly.

Seems like i missed a lot lol. Anyway, I suggest we just sit tight and wait for our next set of clues coming tomorrow night. There is really nothing we can do until then. I also suggest if the blue's are trying to get organized not to announce your roles in the forum. Mafia will just take that free information and wipe our blue's out. I'm not entirely sure using PMs is safe to do so yet. We still have no idea who any of the mafia are yet. So if you decide to go that way, use caution.

Well, your incarceration power can come in handy in at least one situation I can think of:

Since we need to vote a day ahead for a double lynch, if we happen to figure out 2 mafia from 1 days worth of clues. Lynch one and incarcerate the other. Then we can vote for a double lynch and hope the next set of clues gives us another mafia so we can take 2 out at once.

As for blue coordinating, for right now the announcing should be fine. It should give the blues a decent idea of what to do with their powers combined with the regular discussion. The worst possible thing we can do at this point is have our blue's too loose with announcing who they are and get killed off early.

Well it should be returning to normal after a drama filled day 1, hopefully at least. How did your lynching end up (sorry I'm not really following your game).

Wouldn't lynching 1 and incarcerating 1 (2 mafia) reduce their KP by 1? Unless I'm confused as to when the lynching occurs.

Well, I'm not talking necessarily now, but later in the game (depending on the numbers) we could reduce KP.

Yes. That's the whole problem with trying to coordinate this early. We should be cautious until later in the game when things start to become clearer.

Well I'm going to be heading to bed here soon. I probably won't be posting much tomorrow - not really sure what can be done until more clues come in.

I thought of one thing as I was getting into bed. Something we can do during the night phase to help the medics. We could compile a list of people likely to be hit by the mafia. This will be hard since we don't know who the mafia are as of yet. But we can do something. Anyone know how many medics there actually are?

My suggestion to the medics : pick those who are active. Losing an active person who ends up being a townie would be damaging. We need all the people analyzing clues we can get.

Remember the Godfather chooses what role he'll show up as on a role check. Hitting that 1/33 chance of role checking the godfather and it coming back clean and telling him you are a detective would be unfortunate.

Well I see you addressed that point. I guess it depends on how lucky the detectives are feeling. I'm sort of seeing your point about having 3 role checks total and parting with 1 wouldn't be too costly. The real price to pay would be losing a detective.

Well this is sort of redundant, but they could ask if the whole apple thing points to hobbes. It's going to be hard for the detectives in this night, there isn't a lot of clues to check against suspects. I like Zona's idea of using role checks for this first night.

As for medics. I'm going to restate my suggestion to protect active posters for this first night. True we won't know which are townies and mafia, but it would be damaging to lose an active townie early. We have less to lose by losing some of the people who have posted only a couple or 0 times. I've got a list of 4 names I think would be good to protect.

DoctorH and Meeples are the most active members, but they are also protected by elected positions. So off the post number list Zona posted a few pages ago:

Bill Murray
789 (me)
citi.zen
Zona

These are the next 4 in line in activity list excluding t_co who got lynched. Zona also brought us a script to extract post numbers. I think any of the 4 would be a good bet for medics, of couse bias says protect me! protect me!

Well we sort of are. Right now we're helping our blues figure out what they should do with their abilities during night 1. Since it is too dangerous too openly coordinate at this point, it is the best we can do. With t_co turning up green, I think that is a dead end, unless someone else has some ideas there? So for now, its trying to help the blue's decide what to do to weather the storm until our next set of clues.

Yeah I agree with all of those. There isn't much we can do about it now though, and we got some clues coming our way before we have to make any decisions. In my opinion we should analyze day 2 clues first. Then compare these with any possible connection to day 1 clues. If we get nothing from there, then focus on what happened on the election.

Though I guess it wouldn't hurt to talk about the election and candidates until then. It is possible at least one of the candidates was mafia. But we can't be certain, because it is also possible the mafia sat back and laughed at the drama we created on our own. Personally, I can't single out any candidate at this point that I think is more likely to be mafia than any others.

We can think about it, but it would not be wise to start lynching up elected officials until we have something concrete to go off of. If we lynch them and they flip green/blue we've put ourselves in a bad spot.

Yeah I am at work right now as well.
Well I have a really out there suggestion, that would be pretty hard to implement. The only connection I can fathom off #2 from the day 1 clues would be thin knife = surgical knife, involving DoctorH. A detective could do a "does clue x point to y" check on it. The problem is we have no reliable way to relay this information. This could also backfire and lead to lynching a green/blue sherrif.

It's an idea ... probably not a very good one.
