The votes in about 3.5 hours..... as of the current vote stand and if the final total vote count is what is listed above, the following things will happen:
tree.hugger is #1 in vote counts so he's automatically the SHERIFF....
Fulgrim, d3_crescentia, and lan all have tied votes of a 3 way tie in between of the second position, the MAYOR.... so what might happen is a. a re-count votes, b. a whole new poll just for mayor, c. mayor-less town......
So that is our current situation. Just for heads up.

I have not checked the other thread by Plexa to see if they have confirmed their access to the forum. None of these have posted in the Mafia 16 thread and can be regarded as most inactive. Good insight.... now I'm curious if they are even in this game knowing the game started or if they are lurking, as well as their roles of this game.... I mean if they don't know the game started or they just aren't planning to play and they're a blue role (like DT), then the town is in big trouble. On the other hand if they were mafia..... but I doubt any of the 7 mafias can be inactive whatsoever at this moment since the mafias know who each other are and they probably already contacted each other using various methods...

I meant 1.5... how did I type 3.5 hours.... time view fail... and I'm on the eastern time as well....

The 8 active players who haven't voted yet should vote, as it is mandatory by the rules.
10. haster27 12. drinking 14. RoyW** 25. Rainbow 28. 7Strife 32. gaizka 33. Man.Magic 34. Johnnyspazz
**RoyW has expressed his support for Xelin, but hasn't done anything about it.
To those who have abstained, I gladly encourage your decision to do so if your belief is firm in that none of the candidates are trustworthy enough. To those who are still undecided, you still have about an hour before elections close. At the very least I'd like to see an end to voting so we can get on with the game.

Now, we have less than an hour to vote and we still haven't gotten all votes in. However, what's more important is who the mayor will be and who he will choose to lynch on first. The first lynch is a must and cannot be avoid, and it is also important to make sure we don't end up with a blue role dead...
On a side note though, the other mafia game is way ahead as their mayor/sheriff has been chosen and after pages and pages of picking each other out of who to vote out using mayor powers, pointing fingers at each other for mafia, it seems they got "t_co" whom most people thought as mafia and bam, a green. (It's on page 36 but the dramas regarding this is pages before and aftermath is after.)
What I'm afraid is a repeat or similarity result like the other town there. As of the current updated post, it seems tree.hugger is #2 at votes which means he can be mayor, but the problem lies on who the new elected mayor picks to die and what role it might be. Not to also mention Night 1 is coming for the mafias to randomly kill 3 of us.... so DTs/medics/ and all other blue roles, prepare to use your power at night time as well!

It's a terrible decision!
The mafia are sure to muster a vote, and the less townies vote, the greater share of the vote belongs to the people who are most dangerous, and yet most motivated to vote!
Abstaining is a surer way of electing mafia than voting for one yourself!

Well, currently we cannot tell who exactly are the mafia. It is VERY possible that one of the current candidates is mafia and what keeps popping in my head is the last 5 minute count where it's possible the mafias just randomly come out and vote for their candidate (who is also mafia) all at once. Of course, this also exposes themselves very easily so they would not be careless to do so. (Not to mention my tactic used here again where I mentioned this possible scheme so in case they were planning it, by announcing it publicly, it'll lower their possibility of doing this. Though it is still possible...)

Here's the other thing though, their vote ended at 9PM EST, so it's pretty obvious they would have their elected officials sooner.
30 minutes left.
|
Ugh, hate to go to bed before the election is decided =/
Whoever is elected mayor, use your lynch wisely, and on the off-chance I am, I will use my lynch on Lunaticman, who has been inactive since we started, so we won't be losing much.

30 minutes left. That is also true. I can't help to think if this mafia game OP lives in PST and the other game in EST or perhaps it's just that theirs were more active so that they would end it faster... useless to think about so I'll just stop there.
Also, as I was just simply sight-seeing and being a tourist at the other mafia and their little town, one of their dear confused citizen asked such a question. I simply answered back regardless of my need there but I felt I should share it here to help understand better despite the fact it's in the rules:

Unless I'm confused as to when the lynching occurs. Just to answer that question (I'm still sight-seeing your town as a tourist! ^_^), since there's 7 mafias and KP is (current mafia / 2) and rounded up with max of 3, 7 - 2 = 5/2 = 2.5 = 3 KP.... so you gotta have the mafia to be reduced to 4 to have it 2 kills rather than 3.

I was referring to how active you are on this thread, and how I won't be as active as you are, you don't need to jump all over my post ![](/mirror/smilies/frown.gif)

QuickStriker brings up another good point in that incarcerating 2 won't reduce KP to 2. Whichever one of us is sheriff will have to keep that in mind.

I wasn't intentionally trying to jump over my post even though I will admit I tend to go a bit overboard or carried away in my posts sometimes. But that's just my nature as shown in page 4 right after day 1 started. ^_^
But yea, now we officially have 15 minutes left with no changes in votes yet.... so will tree.hugger be our mayor and d3_crescentia be our sheriff?? Remember that those who are elected are immune from death by night kills unless the hidden bodyguard roles are taken out. So if they truly aren't mafia, we are definitely in a good position. If the mafia is one of the elected position, we are in a bit of a disadvantage, especially if mayor is mafia due to 3 voting powers in contrast to our individual 1 vote power...

Four minutes left and Iaaan decides to change to Xelin for the lulz. -_-

and isn't it lulzy? ;p It probably looks a little suspicious, but I'll just say that my two goals are not to have a mafia be mayor, and possibly become mayor myself. Going to bed now, but I'll be interested to see how this turns out (:

However, what troubles me is the first part you said where not to have a mafia be mayor when tree.hugger was almost taken for the spot as mayor.... does that mean you considered him as mafia?

I'm just looking at the other mafia game thread at the moment and I thought these suggestions laid out for medics and detectives could be something useful to think about:
On January 22 2010 14:04 789 wrote: 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.
This is a good idea for the medics to go for.
On January 22 2010 14:09 Zona wrote: You know what, it may be useful for detectives to use at least one of the role checks early.
Right now, if they get a successful clue check, it's hard for them to convince the town of it without outing themselves, since we've already discussed the first set of clues ad nauseam without any conclusions. However, if they check someone and aren't too unlucky, they'll hit a town member and then can share with them safely (although the town member they contact will not necessarily be able to trust the detective). And if we establish a method of choosing which player to check (i.e. check the player below them in the player list) then they won't waste/overlap checks.
But the risk of that method is that if a mafia member is not contacted, then they will know the person above them is not a detective. Hmm. More to think about.
This is also a good idea to think about, however there are a big risk in regards to this. One big risk I can think of immediately on top of my head is that a mafia can fake himself to be detective to try the member they "assumed" to check as detective. Hmm...
