I've also found Caller's play to be rather scummy. If we can't lynch Zona, I'm for lynching Caller. As far as I'm concerned this is a terrible way to go about this. Don't just say "Caller's scummy". Give us some reasons, lay down some facts. As far as I can tell, both Caller and Zona have seemed legit enough for me, at least for Day 1. Why are you so quick to vote for these players when they could be an asset in the future, and when it makes much more sense to vote out some of the least active players. Lets not do the mafia's job for them.
It's a day 1 lynch, dude. What information could I possibly have? I play Nature instead of Nurture, and I play with my gut, and I feel like Caller is acting the way he did when he was Sumiyoshi.

I actually thought Caller's first post was pretty good because it rerailed the town discussion away from BM's plan, which had been beat to death. He also identified the sort of non committal passerby posts that people need to watch for and remember. However, I'm not sure how he arrived at the conclusion that Ace's strong accusations are the signs of a pro-town player. The wifom part was incorrect, and the part about inexperienced players posting more is basically an obvious truthism; pointing out something like that has no bearing on his innocence or guilt and so garners no points from me.
and why Nai Protoss all of a sudden? he's just about as useful as all the other semi-inactives. Killing him doesn't really tell us much at all, i don't think...and at least he's posting now that we're talking about him in the thread. To be honest, now that I read it again, your post wasn't as much of a WifoM as I had thought the first time. The reason I suspect nai.protoss now is because he demonstrated that while he reads the posts, he doesn't read the posts. Not only that, but he came out of nowhere to do the very thing I said not to do and left without responding to my allegations. I can see the situation very clearly (this happened to me multiple times in the previous mafia as follows): a) I make a retarded post. LMNOP and Shinbi-chan are like WTF CALLER UR A FUCKIN MORON b) They tell me to stfu and Shinbi-chan posts a load of bullcrap to derail anybody from noticing my fishy as shit posts. c) everything goes back to normal. What's to think the same thing didn't happen here? If you look at other threads you will see this is my first game. The two mafia type players you described before were the quite members that pretty much agreed with townies and offered no opinion themselves, and the experienced mafia members which appeared to be extremely pro-town. Now why would an inexperienced member of the mafia do the exact thing that you just stated as showing mafia members. No reason what so ever. An inexperienced townie however that doesn't want to get lynched for being inactive, but also is to inexperienced to actually add anything to the conversation has nothing to lose from agreeing with the "experienced townie". You're already judging yourself to having nothing to add? Are you kidding? I'm telling you this now: whenever "experienced townies" take control of the town, town tends to lose pretty hard. Say something! We need people to think outside of the box, both in game and for the metagame. What do you have to say? Do you have anything to say? Would you even like to justify your vote for me? Just because some "big name" player with a x000 post count is talking doesn't mean they know what they're talking about. Look at me or L for instance. We need inexperienced players to think outside of the mafia box to give us better ideas for gameplay. Say something!
I said something and you called me out for being a crap poster. I was trying to figure stuff out, apparently I shouldn't do so out loud. You want clear and concise, how about this:
1. BC entered a game which he seems uninterested in winning and even seems to advocate getting lynched. He is either A) wasting his time or B) reverse psychology scum.
2. Ace and Caller are supposed to know what they're doing but they're shitting all over each other. I suspect at least one of them may be scum.
3. Caller is trying to play the good cop:
Just because some "big name" player with a x000 post count is talking doesn't mean they know what they're talking about. Look at me or L for instance. We need inexperienced players to think outside of the mafia box to give us better ideas for gameplay. Say something!
I had a 4th bullet but I lost my train of thought.

This is a good mentality to have. However, I think it's important to note that you can always tell who is active by who actually votes, and their pattern of voting. That is also a big reason why you don't need to worry about people that don't say anything... at first.

I think the general strategy is to think as objectively as possible using the clues given. However, we can't do that as we are missing two very important parts - clues, and people thinking objectively. I expect there are going to be roughly 7 people dead tonight - 4 from Mafia, 1 from lynch, 2 from assassin. The best course of action right now, in my eyes, is to just accept it and analyze what people are saying.

Here's the problem. There's really no one surefire way to go about it. Often, an inactive player is lynched, and occasionally someone gets bandwagon-ed out if they've been posting stupidly, or made an early mistake. But almost always, it's a shot in the dark.
The point of Day 1 lynches is to get people to debate, get people out in the open, and to get everyone on the record making a potential mafia tell.

I actually remember something different (and just recently reread XVI, XVIII, and my failed XX), but sure haha.

I did a lot of work behind the scenes as well in that one
you can ask bill about that one LOL.
Just realized in this version you need a clear majority to lynch.

Actually, 3 is correct. Ace changed his vote. He really just missed a / which gives him a strikethrough.

@ qatol: I don't normally use that feature, so I didn't recognize it at first. I got it after I saw it though.

You have three consecutive posts marked within 5 minutes of each other. Those can be made into one post.

Here's the way I see it right now, We have two options, vote for someone who we happen to think is scummy, or vote for someone who is inactive. There is a very big problem with option 1, it takes twenty votes to secure a lynch. It seems highly unlikely that we can rally 20 votes against an active poster at this junction. Why? Because we're all just guessing, and no one can has enough info to convince anyone else. Look at the voting right now, we have 16 votes spread over 9 people. This will not work.
Therefore, if we want to be able to lynch, we need to settle on someone we can agree on. We all agree that inactive players are bad, so lets get a list and pick some names out. One thing worth noting though, we don't want to waste a lynch on someone who's going to get modkilled anyways. So lets focus on the people who are inactive in the thread, and yet still throw down a vote.
As far as I can tell, these folks still have not posted, or at least haven't posted much. However, none of them have voted either.
