Ok, so we going are going to play sane for at least the first day. That means instead of playing defense most of the game by distracting people with seemly non-tactic posts to seem like a bored townie with nothing better to do than to just have fun messing with people (though by this point people should be wary of this tactic by now, but hopefully my brownish behavior as townie in the past will overshadow any concerns enough that they wouldn't risk lynching me until late game. Plus, my entertainment value should help me live as well.), I'll probably be more quiet and just analysis other people's posts - privately for now. I typically play crazy in public and serious in private. One strategy I have used in the past is to get people to react to my post. Fun topics may let people's guard down enough that they slip up and reveal their role. Plus is make people more comfortable - at least the less prudent ones. If people are having, fun they don't kill the source of the fun.

As for offensive play, that kind of depends on our role. So, I will go into more detail once we know who we are. I have a plan in mind for this game. It involves sending PMs to the both or all three members on the same team. If they have a special role they are less likely to reply with a role claim without consulting their teammates. So, I was thinking that I was going to rush them with PMs early on to get initial reactions and watch for delays. If one of the members contradicts the other then we might have discovered something.

Defense against such tactics: We need to communicate with each other well this game. I advise using an IRC and forwarding all PMs to each other. We need to plan how we will handle roleclaiming both publicly and through PMs.

If you want to use an IRC we can use this one:

I've used this IRC in many mafia games. Forgot which game I first started using it in.

I do not mind if we go with a theme, though I would rather play lurky and normal for the beginning. If we go with a theme, we should unleash is day two at the earliest imo.

I won't be active until tonight - playing dead at the beginning of the game increases the odds of living. So, I guess it works out.

How do you want to play this game?

Sane or Insane? After playing insane last game I won't mind going back and playing like a normal person. But if you really want to learn the ways of the insane, then I guess we can take that path.

If you do decide to take the insane path, here is what you need to do. You need to pick a theme that you will talk about the whole game. For instance, this game if I were playing the insane game I would talk about physical fighting such as boxing because of the game name.

After you pick a main theme to talk about, you need to pick a function within the game to become "obsessed" about. For instance, last time I played I was interested in the Day vigi and the game before that it was the bomberman. New roles are a great distraction to act like your interested in the game. This game, perhaps you can talk about which game setup that you believe in, but I find that a big waste of time and just draws a huge target upon yourself. Let's keep that discussion to ourselves.

I have thought of a theme that we can do. How about you are learning the way of the Drunken Monkey. You will be a fighter in training and I'll be your instructor. So you make a post in the thread and I'll quote it and comment on how you can improve/make it better.

Well, I have to go to class. See you later. Oh, and you will probably read the role before I do. Maybe..
