Something tells me we won't have alot of inactivity this game, and I don't think letting 3 player teams have a safeguard against lynching because they have a much less likely chance of being inactive, but rather that people on tri-teams will get lazy in their posting. Dual-teams are more likely to give better results as they have more weight. But I see what you are saying, I'd just like to not discriminate in that regard.

I think it's fairly silly to also not lynch ace for the sole reason of getting the DT role alot. Roles are random, so he has as much chance as anybody. But I'd rather not lynch competent people either. Mafia will do that for us >

Not really inclined against anybody at the moment, so I'll wait to see what comes out of the woodwork. Not that I'm really expecting much to happen on the first day when there is absolutely nothing but a person's history to go by.

I'm not going to be lynching my own teammate thank you very much.

Im offended by your statement!

We should really get this show on the road as to who are candidates for lynching. I dont feel comfortable just resting my vote on someone who Im not even 50/50 on. But we cant just let ourselves get swayed so we should start deciding soon. Im not sure whether having alot of different people under two red roles is good or bad, as they can spread enough while still stacking a bit with not mch consequence, but then again, we can take the direction a team is going and question them. I'd think teammates would be fine disagreing on points and not hinder the town in certain places, but we should be wary of a DT team trying to play off a rolecheck without getting mafia suspicion. If we even have one

So this doesn't happen I'd suggest a DT team to gather two rolechecks and publicly post the info on the third day, or as soon as they find red. The medic would protect the proclaimed DT baring a roleblocker for as long as possible. I dont think mafia can chance publicly faking DT with only 2 reds in the game, so trading a DT for 1 red would help alot. I think checking a town would be relatively useless as PMs are banned, so try to check legitimately suspicious teams. Id think this game will be very down to the wire if there are no blues and a half decent mafia squad. Otherwise we have have a really good chance with proper analysis.

Yeah, even if you are blue keep posting. Its very difficult to make headway as an active mafia as you inevitably try to screw with the town protecting yourself or teammates. Last game, we tried everything in our power to be as green as we could, but jst having one little fluke set us all back. And we didnt and somewhat couldnt take advantage of the power we did have, as being mafia requires being alot more far sighted then the town, because of the severe number disadvantage. So town can afford to make really instant decisions to flush out someone who has laid plans long term. Mafia has to genuinely not care about winning to fit in with not just a townie's purpose, but also a unimportant vanilla townies mentality, which would put them into the pawn to be killed for the good of the town persona. Mafia cannot replicate that role.

Make yourself expendable

I dare you cheezenoddle. Your Yoda mind games wont work on me *stink eye*

by night three, mafia has a little less then 50% chance of hitting a a blue if there is one , and considerably higher chance if there are two. In other games I would advise a lategame strategy, but this game should be shorter then usual. The only reason I appear scummy is that I responded to your assumptions of who should be lynched based on the amount of people in each team and whether or not to lynch certain people based on what roles they have gotten previously. Lynching by posting history is a far superior plan then this.

DT cant rolecheck a townie and then PM them, right? So the only use os knowing a regular townie for the public is that it's one less person we'd mistaken lynch. And the only way that would be revealed is if a DT would sacrifice himself... because if we have a medic and a DT then they have a RBer and thats a dead DT, (therefore a DT should only reveal with a mafia in his hand). Then the townie would be an easy target later but there is still the medic.

I just put my vote for yellow as a placeholder until a better candidate comes up, which will be most likely some inactive he hops on a BWagon late with no excuse I guess.

Please keep you vote on me yellow if you are mafia, because that makes it easier for the town if I get lynched. If you back off, I'll gladly take my heat off you and let the majority decide. I'm ready to die cheezenoodle.

Your basis for voting me off is for disargeeing with you about taking completely chance based guesses and suggesting an "awful" DT plan? Please clarify why it is awful, as I think a DT for one mafia in this game is preferable.

And it hasn't even been close to 24 hours yet, with 48 hours til verdict, correct? People have jobs and lives, and if I did not have this phone I wouldn't have been able to make more then 2 posts since the game started.

I do agree with korynne that all this blame is a bit quick, and from yellows history, he makes very randomly good and then innocuous posts. I'd much rather find some glaringly obvious lurker, but we'll have to wait.

The emotions coming out now is fantastic, I love the drama.

And whos to say durok here isnt some mastermind himself? Until I've gotten to know someone through my own experience with them, you really can't make too many judgments about them. Give him a shot to earn his spurs, then ask who the fuck he is.

I'm making a list and I'm checking it twice. Too bad Laxer is asleep or busy, I dont think he'll be as fun to watch as the previous game, where he was in full bloom of his potential joshin ya laxer. Anyone want some alcohol induced analysis? Spell-check is cool. That is all.

There seems to be little flak going around in general, Im looking at my previously poor constructed posts and people notice but they didnt really pressure me for clarification on where I was going with it. I saw L make a comment about Darh and Ace already having enough content to judge them by.

Its not necssarily the same as inactivity, or even quantiy of posts. For instance Radfield has barely posted, but you can get substance from his posts and get a clear position on his stance. Most of what I have posted is roughly the same as him, but garbled up and repeated (I blame the habit that when im using this small-ass keyboard I post like Im texting -_- and you dont think twice about it)

So if you haven't, make a clear vivd 5-7 line paragraph on what you think is important, if you have not posted substance yet. Check it as if you were handing in an assignment, so we can see your opinion clearly at least. I guess people yellow and darth have pointed out should go ahead and try it. Plus it's nice to see a fresh personality's take on things.

Feels good man.

I'm ready to put bill and chez's past behind them if they truly want to help the town. I'm not sure how deep chez played the game he was mafia, but if he kept making silly comments and didn't try a legitmate apology that game, I doubt he's maniacal enough to do it this game. sellfishly hope a DT checks me to prove yo wrong, but it would be waste of a rolecheck just negating your suspicions. But then I know the next thing you'll say is "Thats just you trying to throw the DT off and saving yourself you scuma diver" So you know what?

DT check me tonight to cater to this. Honestly do it so the mafia might get inclined to hit me thinking im something and if im checked, would make me a very legitimate target. That could also draw a medic too. It wold be funny because it might draw the hit away from more analytical players then lax and I.

You did this last game yellow, and we didn't bother to stop you because you were making little sense, but later on you became a threat i gess, Maybe you started off this game like BM and chez are just using a guise that you saw through immediately. Well then you are the better and I humy subject myself to yoursuperior eye for mafia. Or maybe your just hallucinating again. Maybe BM and I were jus t attempting simple noob minded analysis. You honestly thinnk either of us are expecting to live til the end, which I hear is good thing for mafia .

If I make it to day 4, I swear to god I will start the bandwagon on myself, and anyone who doesn't vote for me is mafia. Surely we will have caght one other red team by then. If I disagree any point after this, you can assume I have clearly stated that I am scum.

I apologize for any confuusion you had at all. Basically I said trading a DT for a mafia is preferable outcome. If this is why yellow thinks im scum then all I can really do is laugh. Do I want the DT to die? Of course not. Do I want the DT to publicly announce himself when he finds a red? Yes. Thereafter, ther is no way for the DT to survive, as radfield explained. Anything other points that need clarification?

Oh im at fault, I assumed you meant the post below that. That was a mistake on my part as I didn't do the proper math involving the setups available ntil I read that post. It was posted based on insufficient thought and lack of information on my part. I suppose I never said I corrected it the post down the page. If you think that was purposeful and I intended to never correct it, then I could see why you are thinking that way.
