Its really pretty tiring trying to figure out who's what and who and why with such little information, and no clues -_- The only effect assassins have on the town is their votes and their influence, but lynching the right guy seems hard enough already, so if they do sway the vote we might just get a scum anyway...

However, what did jump out at me ealier was this post:

Here's my supergenius plan: lynch the least active player, it's the quiet ones you gotta watch!
To my mind, Zona seemed quite legit at that point, and more importantly this was a bandwaggon vote, given that Bill Murray had stated he was voting Zona just prior. It seemed suspicious then so i noted it down.

The more I think about it, I do get townie vibes from you because of you putting FoS onto Osmoses. Being a little more experienced than you, and take this with a grain of salt because I am not the best town player as my play always appears scummy when im green, you shouldn't read into day 1 votes because it is the random voting stage of the game. analyze the wagons after someone is dead, though, as you can see patterns emerge. I've actually found a couple people on mafiascum that way.

Alright, quick morning post before I go to work. I'm glad Jugan is starting to speak up. Here's the list of semi-inactives again, stolen from IntotheWow from some pages ago with some modifications - + Show Spoiler + RebirthOfLegend Scaramanga RaGe [NyC]HoBbes Fulgrim krndandaman nbtnbt5 love1another jpak motbob
Notes: I've removed Jugan, Incognito and KF91 from this list, though I'm still a bit iffy on KF91 as he hasn't said much recently. At any rate, this is a lot of people not saying or doing much.
JadeFist isn't on this list either since he recently posted, BUT it's interesting to see what he posted:
On April 19 2010 13:51 JadeFist wrote: Voted Caller.
Last time I played decafchicken, a long time forum veteran, was the Godfather. I feel like the choice for mafia members is not entirely random and I wouldn't be surprised if a forum "celebrity" such as Caller was mafia. But whether or not someone is a forum veteran is irrelevant to if they're actually Mafia (and in that game decafchicken wasn't ANYWHERE near as active as Caller's being). If that were the case why not vote for Ace or Incognito or RoL? Let's not have any bandwagons going on here, whether they be from uninformed townies or scum redder than this delicious Sriracha sauce I've got here. Don't fade away into the darkness just yet; we've got more to talk about.

I am actually starting to get suspicious of you Bill Murray. Not so much from your posting, but more from what seems to be going on around you.
First Osmosis bandwaggons a vote from you on a player who I had thought seemed quite legit. Second, two relatively inactive folks both come out in favour of your assassin plan, despite the fact that no one else can even understand your plan at first, let alone thinks it's a good idea.

A few other things which HAVE jumped out at me about your posting. You keep mentioning things like: being the miller, seeming scummy when green, always being green, being an obvious townie, etc. In addition, you seem to be encouraging people not to take your voting seriously. It seems very possible to me that after having been green for a few games in a row, you can simply use that excuse once you finally hit a red role.
I'm not trying to be harsh here, and I appreciate the advice you offered about day one votes, but all these little things seem to be adding up for me. What do other people think?

Why not just gamble now and take a shot at someone who seems suspicious now? Go big or go home. Games in the past that ive played all point to lynching big players that look suspicious pays off some of the time but most turn out town, then you're left with inactives which allows mafia to sit there, do fuck all and get away with it

Jesus fucking christ, reading through this is like pulling teeth, I'm voting to lynch Jugan as his non senseical crap looks exactly like what 0cz3z used to do to confuse the town when he was mafia and i suggest that everyone else dose the same Edit: I would just like to let you all know that watching one piece >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> reading this shit

I only voted Caller back when he was still inactive, but now that he's gotten pretty active I'm going to switch my vote to RoL since he's the only guy that people seem to jumping on who seems to be truly inactive. I can see people's reasons for voting for Jugan, and he definitely seems like a good candidate for tomorrow's lynch, but I think we should lynch someone who's been completely inactive just about in order to encourage people to start posting more. Even if all we do is force people to post random one liners that gives no benefit to the town, without clues we're going to need everyone to start posting in order to have something to analyze.

Ace I had the pleasure of waiting 20 hours (when you said 3) for your extensive analysis of your post. I also have left the bet unresolved and it is still outstanding. Your entire extent of posts to this point has been a "fuck it, I'm not helping this stupid town." Please explain why we shouldn't be suspicious of your actions as a result.

I don`t really care to listen to the BW calls about the BM plan. I addressed this with a post a few pages back... I definetly misunderstood it at first, but I still feel it is best plan out there by virtue of the fact it is the only plan out there, so prove me wrong I implore you.
At this point, all we have is a stupid witch hunt aimed with no evidence at people who are just being unpleasant.
As it stands right now for all of the people except RoL that have multiple votes we have followed the same stupid formula.
1) They are inactive, we call them out
2) Flame war starts
3) Votes get cast
If you were red wouldnt you maybe not want to be a huge dick to everyone and make them all look at you?
I am sorry but our governing philosophy right now is, if the guys a dick he must be red.
Out of the whole thread I feel like the only people that make any sense at this point (myself included) are Radfield, and IntotheWow.
We are all dead men

We really need a change of attitude here imo.
I propose a town-wide ban (with lynching if not lived by) on accusations/analysis of previous posts until Day 2, and a lynch of the currently least active, most voted person RebirthOfLegend
Because let's face it, we're not going to be able to have enough of us agree on an already suspicious person to be able to lynch him on day 1, and we're only helping mafia decide which townies to snipe atm.
This would help us focus on getting a decent plan together for the rest of the game.

Vote changed to RebirthOfLegend because he has not made a post yet in this game, and I completly agree with voting off the least active person to begin with. Also I think a consensus may be met on this, as opposed to others.
