Yes, that is good insight. Although I will mention this in that in both cases of the deaths, there was some sort of quickness. It doesn't necessary mean it's me but I'm not stopping or defending your thoughts on that. Though, if you must know, I was around the past hours on TL and browsing on this thread and other mafia thread intensely since I had nothing else to do. But you can see it yourself of my past comments here, noting the times I've been here as I was here constantly unlike others...

But here's the thing about this game. One wrong move, and a huge disadvantage occurs. I can go back to the previous mafia game I was at here people would accuse me because one of the death was "a quick attack" and I was a townie. In any case, we need more clues right now, it's too vague to assume anything. But yes, you did good able to at least assume there are 2 killers in the first description because it starts as 2 clues leading to 2 killers.

I'll run for Sheriff/Mayor.

I'm running as a candidate of the green party, which means that when flower pots get smashed, and bodies start polluting our beautiful waters, I get tough on crime.

Now, I also want to just to throw out another simple facts out there:

List of names who have absolutely nothing on profile (meaning no pics and sig) :

Xelin
RoyW
ItsPaul
dozko
laaan
Rainbow
Jadefist
7Strife
no_re
Gaizka
Man.Magic
johnnyspazz

That is 12 people total out of 34 people. That's quite a bit of nothing on profile compared to the other game that has 6...

*edit* Now mind you that if according to the rules of this game, it is sorta illegal to switch and edit your profile the moment this game started.... so I have complied this just to imply that if any one of the 12 changes their profile, they will and can be automatically marked suspicious....

I'm just lazy, so I haven't made a sig or anything. Also, after reading that huge post by no_re I have decided to withdraw my name from voting, that was totally pro how he noticed all that stuff, I only paid attention to the 'flower vase' bit. I'm thinking as our leader we may want someone who is more focused on clues than I think I'd end up being. And yeah no_re that was good stuff!

damn no_re thats good analysis
if i knew i was supposed to add stuff to my profile for hints i would've updated it prior to the game haha
i have no interest in running for mayor or sheriff but i will vote for the person who puts in the most thought into his/her campaign

^ I thought according to the rules, it was illegal to edit your posts to ;p
but if you don't delete anything I guess its not too big a deal.

I do like how you looked at who doesn't have anything on their profiles, much harder to give a clue about one of them, but maybe easier to see if there is a clue about one of them (cause whats it going to be about other than their name/posts?)

In any case, I still say it's a bit early and vague to decide on voting on someone to die at this instance. Though I do enjoy the second clue no_re stated like others did above me. But on a safe side, I suppose the best way to get this down (and forgive me if my statement is too cruel) is to allow few days in to wait for additional clues from the descriptions of other deaths. Yes, that means we gotta let more people dead before we make a decision on who to vote on. The reason I say this is if we pointlessly and mindlessly vote on someone and have him dead who happened to be a townie or some important role like the detective, then we're already marked down in a screwed mode. Allowing the mafias to become in an advantageous situation while making the non-mafias in disadvantage is not good....

So my recommendation for the town right now is to wait at least 2-3 addition days before starting on voting to kill. Rather than risking ourselves killing 2-3 townies/detectives/non-mafia and then have mafia kill 2-3 more of us, we should let them just kill 2-3 of the townies, then carefully plan this out.

I'm only editing because I didn't want to double post or triple post myself. But since you insist, I'll double post right now since I wasn't done with my comment.

Now, as for the mayor/sheriff voting case. Like I mentioned countless times, we cannot be careless and vote a mafia mayor which can screw us all. I believe that's what happened to me in an old game I played where the game went to the mafias because the townies at the beginning voted a mafia as mayor....

More importantly, the whole deal with 2-3 days wait is for the detective who are in this game to check on the those who seems the most suspicious each night to make sure if that's mafia or not. Then the detective needs to not expose himself as DT but rather lead the way of the townies that the mafia is that person or that person isn't the mafia by intelligently inputting infos or comments..

As a note Quickstriker. Voting on who to kill doesn't happen day 1. The mayor makes the day 1 lynch. So all of day 1's voting is purely for who to have as mayor/sheriff.

Hmm... I see, well thanks for the note then...

So basically that means whoever we pick as mayor, that person will automatically have an one way 100% choose on who will die from day 1. This can mean the mayor will bias and just weed out or kill who he/she doesn't like... that's not a good thing..

But on the other hand, the mayor should be working on the best interest of the town and for the people. Which means he shouldn't be so quick and mindless for choosing who to easily die in day 1. Otherwise the mayor will become more suspicious upon the crowd as a possible mafia.

Now notice how I was able to easily spread and tell this info to everyone. I feel like this is a necessary info for everyone, mafia or not, and that at least this much is basic simple info that everyone needs to know.

Lastly, back to my posts above, I still do recommend and suggest that we should wait 2-3 days of no vote just to get more clues and ideas to link up the possible suspects and mafias. So tell me what you guys think about this.

Actually, double and triple posting is just fine in mafia games. In Mini Mafia II, RebirthOfLegend had 6 posts in a row I think. The TL staff allows that kind of posting behavior in mafia threads. In fact, SemiOldGuy endorsed it in Mafia 4.

I agree that we can't really make any reasonable decisions about who to lynch, until people become more active (cause theres still plenty of people who haven't posted yet ;p), especially the DT's, once they start role checking.

And with the elections, I think its most important that we do not elect a Mafia member into the position. But there's still plenty of time to think about the election, Day 1 doesn't end until thursday, correct?

Alright thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I wasn't too sure and I do have a habit of editing posts for spelling/grammar errors....

But in any case, if it does come down to it, I will post whatever necessary to get the point across... thanks for the heads up.

Well in any case, this game seems more inactive than the other mafia game going on atm. Maybe it's too early and no one is up (its really late for me rite now and about to sleep) or maybe not a lot of actives here compared to there. In any case, we do need more candidates since we only have one now, due to ItsPaul withdrawal. So someone else needs to step up to be mayor/sheriff. I mean I don't really want to be that person because I'm sorta lazy and I have to be even more active than what I already am. I suppose I'll just wait a little bit more since it is too early right now....

But yea, I sorta do wish the mafia game speeds up a little faster...

It seems pretty arbitrary as to who we end up selecting Sheriff/Mayor. I mean it might be preferable to elect someone who will be more involved and will pay close attention to the clues and whatnot since they have more power I guess.

I also think we may want to err away from electing people who don't have anything in their profiles since that would make it harder to identify them from clues... But not really sure on this.
