And what happens if we elect a mayor and he's mafia?

See, I only played haunted before, so I'm only getting used to the basics, but this one seems pretty crazy, so what guarantee is that we elect a good mayor with little to no information about him/her?

Also, do we know of anyone who is definitely blue?

Do we HAVE to vote for a mayor? I don't like all these arguments.

Can we worry about the more pressing issue? Meaning, who dies in the day1 lynching?

I voted for Dr.H. Here's why:

1. Even if he is Mafia, it's not as horrible as you make it out to be. Just always watch him with a degree of suspicion. Yes, he's less vulnerable to night kills, sure, but that doesn't matter if he's mafia. He's still just as vulnerable to lynching, correct? (but yes, I agree, lynching the mayor is not a great move for the town)

2. His role: there's all this discussion about it, but we don't even know the role list. It could be true, or not, but let's pretend it's not, and he's mafia. Why not make up a better role? He certainly has the imagination for it. Why would he claim THIS kind of role when he could make up everything else?

3. Experience. Yes, there are chances of him being mafia, and that could lead to a lot of manipulation, but we should always suspect that, and if we see that his planted ideas go nowhere, then we know who to turn against. If he ISN'T mafia, then he'll be of great value as mayor.

Just my two cents.

Hi all.

I decided to roleclaim on day1, on someone I'd trust most. Since it was too confusing, I then decided to roleclaim after the mayor was picked, whoever it may be.

I am a doctor. However, the Mafia knows this. Here is why:

I was given the choice of the red pill or the blue pill. If I took the the red pill I would become a doctor, but the mafia is told of my role. If I took the blue pill, I would become a normal townie. I am allowed to protect myself as a doctor.

So, if you were mafia, then you would already know this.
If you're not, well I think I could be of help, but since Mafia knows of my role, I will try to protect myself as much as possible (denying a hit will be just as good as denying some other kill imo, unless we're sure the mafia honed in on a very important blue).

Also, I was thinking that since I'll be protecting myself during night one, I suggest that Dr.H poked me with his stick to see what happens. If I got infected, I can cure myself, if not, you can tell that I'm blue, (assuming nobody is infected yet) and you can tell what happens when you poke people with minimal risk.

This would also give some faith in you being what you claim you are, since the mafia vote was pretty suspicious (i'm thinking there could be more than one mafia do-gooder). But I'm not demanding that DrH pokes me, it was just a suggestion.

Cheers!

P.S.: I have also PMed Dr.H with this, since I didn't get to read that PMs were illegal unless both players were mafia. I hope this doesn't get me deadded, it won't happen again.

Roughly 5 minutes before I posted in the thread. He replied that PMs are illegal about 1 minute after I sent it, I read the rules and re-posted here.

See above. The name is simply Neo.

And I believe that is because I got to choose if I were a doctor or nothing at all, Neo doctor wouldn't make much sense if I chose to be a simple townie.

Well I wasn't going to claim to everyone because I wasn't 100% sure that the Mafia knows. And the post about the ADD Doctor made it even more likely that the mafia would not know.

Also, if I tell the town it would cause a lot of chaos, just like everyone did when they claimed. I would've much rather claim to someone who can at least partially confirm that I'm not red (like Dr.H).

I hope that I won't be modkilled though, it was an honest mistake, and was rectified almost immediately.

Thank you. I'll learn to read the rules more carefully next time (this is only my second mafia game).
So, regarding youngminii, there are a few options:

a) He has a role that allows him to hide from lynching once or twice or many times - most likely.
b) He has a role that allows him to dodge the mayor's lynch (and thus has to be voted by the townies) - less likely, but possible, just like everything else.
c) He is mafia and can only be lynched if he's the last one standing (just like the do-gooder had the vote revoked if there was only 1 mafia left) - i know that this is a long shot.
d) There is a randomness factor in the game (obviously portrayed by the host) that causes lynches to miss (once, twice, all the time - lol)
e) Dr.H has a role that causes his lynching votes to count for someone else - very unlikely, but it could also be a hidden feature of the mayor's extra vote. This would also count as d) since it's basically a random factor.

So yeah, I suggest we wait and see what the mafia do before acting upon this. If youngminii's role was to avoid DEATH once, and he's not Mafia, then he can also be killed tonight by the mob, as he's a sure blue (though, i remember a mention as how everyone has roles, so I guess that doesn't make much sense).

...and here I was thinking I'd draw attention to myself if I role-claimed. Hah.

Yes, but his name is indeed DCLXVI. If you find it hard to remember, it's just the first 6 roman numerals in reverse order (I, V, X, L, C, D). It just happens to be 666 if "spelled backwards", it stirred up quite a fuss in religious books but let's move on and call him "useless-claim" or something.

I can't way to see what sh*t goes down in night one.

Just a wee bit if info, in case something does happen to me.

- It is possible that there is still one more Mafia in this circle (if both of them are Mafia, then it doesn't really matter...), especially if one of them die (not me, as I'm already out in the open), unless Mafia just got "lucky" and hit one of them. Regardless, if this case happens, I will have to come forward and announce who is the remaining member and go forth with the investigation.

Did everyone miss this post? What the hell does "claimed to me, and I have informed him of my role as well." mean?

By PM?

Yes I did have to skip a few pages, but does it mean that their roles allow PM?
