Maybe the mafia won't have to do anything if the majority of our game is inactive (including DTs) so we're forced to do stupid random lynchings -_-

While we're here (and while I'm back) we should keep in mind that a lot of these "hey has the game started" posts should be taken with a grain of salt as well, since we're actively discussing lynching inactives.
Re: cross-checking your list, dozko, I haven't since iloveKT post after the Day 1 post. The post I saw was from before then.
I don't think we've spent enough time on the clues or at least agreeing on whatever clues are being figured out.

I don't think we've spent enough time on the clues or at least agreeing on whatever clues are being figured out. I completely agree with this and I think instead of deciding to randomly lynch someone due to how active they are, instead, we should find some kind of evidence (from any clues we come up with) to make a precise, more accurate lynch. At least that makes sense to me. dont be silly. lynch all active members, they are obviously scum leading people away from the mafia! oh and lynch the inactive ones too, they are scum lying low maybe we should lynch you instead

Alright, I'm going to go through this again:
The Day 1 post was written in lines of rhyme and prose. A few pages ago I've formatted the original post to show prose and poetry; there are some minor edits here and there to make that more distinct.
One night in a town of Liquiville, there came a strange event. An event of history and would lead many people to bewilderment. The sheriff Ace however was on the case. Journeying to the docks by the beach, he answered the cries of a persons shriek.
What he found however, was a trail of blood. Following it straight to a cave, he saw a body at its opening, tenderly embraced by the incoming tide.
Rushing to the persons aid, he turned the body and knew it was grave. A quick check of the pulse, and he knew it was done, L would fail to see the coming sun.
Picking up the body, he turned to make his way back to town, and failed to see the figure step behind him. With a quick attack, the Sheriff Ace collapsed to the ground.***
His mind raced towards the possibilities of what happened, and he reached for his gun. But before he could begin, the figure drew overtop of him and the sheriff was done.
Across town in his mayoral office, vx70GTOJudgexv sat at his desk. He was busy signing new laws for the town when he heard a crash outside his door. Getting up and exiting into the hall, he began to search for the sound. As he explored the nearby rooms he moved back to the hall and made his way back towards his office. It was then that he saw something on the ground by the window at the end of the hall. Moving towards it, he saw that it was a broken flower vase, with its contents now spread across the carpet, as well as the pieces of the pottery. It was then he felt a rush of air behind him, and something sink into his shoulder. The mayor vx70GTOJudgexv cried out, and crumpled dead to the floor.
When the town awoke from their slumber, they found the three bodies lying in the town square. Knowing that they were not safe, they began to hold an electoral race.*** It was here that the town began to be reshaped.
The starred lines are lines that could potentially be rhyming lines. The italicized segments are things that I think could be clues, based on my own thoughts and contributions of others. My initial guess is that the prose sections are where the clues are located, and not where the lines rhyme.
For the first murder, I believe we have mostly water-related clues and the cave, which could point to Fishball and drinking. There is also the 'tenderly' adverb, which dozko suggested could be softer.
I believe the phrase "knew it was grave" could mean something, but since it's in a rhyme section it goes against my current theory. Still, a possibility there. The sentences with town/ground might be a botched rhyme, but I do feel that the "quick attack" should be checked out for the possibility that QuickStriker is indeed mafia.
Regarding Judge's death, we have the flower vase, which points to me. ~OpZ~ also mentioned the repeated use of the word "hall," which in and of itself could be a clue. I've also noticed the use of sound-related descriptors - crash, sound, rush of air; potential connection to iloveKT as his profile contains pictures of sound waves. What I'm particularly curious about what the object that sunk into Judge's shoulder was... that should be a clue in and of itself.
List of potential clues: 1. Following it straight to a cave, he saw a body at its opening, tenderly embraced by the incoming tide. 2. he turned the body and knew it was grave (maybe) 3. With a quick attack, the Sheriff Ace collapsed to the ground. 4. Moving towards it, he saw that it was a broken flower vase, with its contents now spread across the carpet, as well as the pieces of the pottery 5. It was then he felt a rush of air behind him, and something sink into his shoulder.
Does anyone have any criticisms? I'm open to suggestions. I realize that most of it is grasping for straws, but I think it's better that the DTs check *something* our first night rather than nothing.

I wish more people were on when I'm on T_T

I think either he's a new at this and doesn't spend time to read a decent amount of posts before he judges or he is a mafia member and your accomplice. I am new to the game, and this is my first time ever playing it. I voted for Xelin and still do, because it seems to my newbie eyes that he is obviously not Mafia. Maybe to the experienced eyes in this game, his activities are a comman Mafia-gambit, but I don't think so. I'm unsure about QS, but ultimately I think it's just an instinctive reaction to his many posts and multiple edits, so I don't know. I live in Ireland, and will mostly only be active 18.00 KST-03.30 KST. If someone could give me the PST equivalent, I will try and ensure that I am around for voting deadlines. You should post that in the vote thread then. =)
18:00KST is 1AM PST, so you're in a bit of a jam if you want to get in a last-minute vote.
On that note... hey BC, can we get times in KST instead since TL auto-displays those?

l10f has joined the game, and voted to abstain as of currently, but hasn't posted in this thread as of yet. Hi l10f!
XeliN, I don't understand your reasoning as to why I should be lynched. Could you elaborate a bit further?
|
Also, dzoko says 'claim to mayordom' and not 'martyrdom'. I am curious as to what exactly he means by that.
On that note, I don't know what incarceration for a single night would do for either me or QS as the mafia KP would still remain at 3 after that. If you wanted to incarcerate us both and found only two deaths, we'd be able to know if either me or QS was mafia by checking the number of deaths (barring medic or vigilante intervention). This plan has the unfortunate drawback of using both incarcerations, unfortunately. Of course, if you become Mayor you can simply choose to lynch one of us and be done with it.

I thought you might be Mafia based upon my still firm belief that QuickStriker is. You made a post saying that you do not believe QuickStriker to be mafia and didnt in my mind give clear reasons as to why and this made me very suspicious of you. Going over all of your posts now I realise the error of this reasoning. It made a snapish judgement on you based on what i deemed to be your subtle support of Quickstriker.
I take back that I think you should be lynched. None of what you have posted so far is enough to make that kind of judgement. I still strongly believe that Quickstriker ought to be the first person to be lynched and he would remain my choice. Thank you for response. While I know we don't see eye-to-eye on some things I appreciate your efforts to be sincere and rational.

Or am I misunderstood? Mayoral vote occurs on Day 1 and ends at 9PM PST. Mayor decides who we lynch at the end of Day 1 (not entirely clear on how this works yet). We then move onto Night 1 for 24 hours where DTs/Medics and Mafia can put in their actions, though we can continue to debate/discuss and suggest potential actions to take.

It's common sense to what XeliN is doing. It won't DOOM anybody. I'm going to laugh when you guys see that XeliN is a mafia. I wish I knew the code to make text blink so I could better convey sarcasm.
But I wasn't talking about XeliN; I was asking about your post regarding ~OpZ~. While it's true we can't really trust anybody right now, and that ~OpZ~ hasn't really posted altogether too much, what are your thoughts on him?

As of now, we have the following who have not posted after the Day 1 post: - Lunaticman - IplayThings - Nigol
I have not checked the other thread by Plexa to see if they have confirmed their access to the forum.

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.

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. 9PM PST is 12AM EST, which is in 1.5, not 3.5 hours...

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.
