All right, in many games there was an uneventful first day. Lets not make this one of those games. A few things to talk about:
Inactives: A big problem in every mafia game is inactivity. I don't want another drag_ being able to squeak by with barely any posts. We should immediately show it is not okay to be inactive. Inactive players hurt the town as they waste lynches down the road as the town will need to try to separate the mafia from the inactives. We should therefore push to lynch an inactive day one. This will force the assassins to discuss and not be able to turtle, increasing the chance they will slip up. The key is that we have to make sure the town knows it is not okay to just simply sit back and not do anything. This way, hopefully everyone will be active and we won't need to lynch an inactive. Plan Firstly. DO NOT CLAIM DO NOT CLAIM Good now that we got that out of the way, some other ideas. Generic Blue Activity plan One plan that would work is to use the blue roles to promote activity in the town. The DTs should check the inactive people and the lurkers, as it is incredibly difficult if not impossible to tell the difference between a bored townie and a lurking mafia. The Medics should protect active players, this way the mafia won't be able to take out the people who are contributing the most to town, so people won't be scared of trying to put forth their opinions. | ||

But even if we are in setup #2, the plan still can accomplish it's goal. The big point of the plan is its there to try to encourage activity. It's to try to change play so that people, and the mafia, will become more active. Just the threat of DTs checking lurkers should be enough for the mafia to start posting a bit. And just the threat of medics protecting active people should be enough for the mafia to try to either A) get protected. Or B) not hit actives. | ||

The mafia have an advantage in that they can eliminate 2 of the setups as possibilities as well. That kind of sucks a bit too. | ||

Framer Issue: Framers are much better put to use framing the important townies. So any attempt by the mafia for framing the inactives would be a waste.

That way we focus more on scumhunting rather than relying on a DT/medic to form a circle that might not be there at all. Since there is NO PM'S in this game apart from your team mate, your circle is pretty much limited to those who share your role. | ||

Still its suppose to start discussion. Which isn't happening. What do you think? I think if nothing happens day one, lynching inactives isn't a bad idea. | ||

Since I didn't get it and Kav explained it to me, I'll assume someone else could benefit from an explanation as well: The colors on the banner are supposed to represent teams. Decon: I think it'd be silly to have a roleblocker and no roles to block, no? Setup 2 is the least likely imo. However, town circle is still out (no pm's). A few rules to clear up: Are we expected to stop communicating with our senior/junior partner if they are modkilled? Do we vote to lynch teams, or individuals? | ||

If you are inactive then its your loss on a learning experience and I will ban you from future boot camps. By joining this game and going inactive you steel someone elses opportunity to learn which is a dick move. | ||

I'm assuming its randomly rolled, so each setup is just as likely. The idea with a roleblocker and no roles to block is just to give mafia information about which setup it is. | ||

@Deconduo: ok, if any setup is equally likely, than I agree we should "assume" setup 2 -- no blues. It's never good to rely on blues too much anyway. LSB, I'm pretty sick of the day 1 let's lynch inactives campaign...but with almost no activity so far, we might have to. Maybe everyone is trying to coordinate with their partner before diving in head first? I know Kav and I have had internet availability issues at home as well, I might be stuck posting from work only for a bit  | ||

You'll waste valuable time. So far we've had activity from 4 of 9 juniors. Not good. Second: The game is about analyzing posts. Day one there is nothing to analyze, and so we have to put something out there to discuss. Since we must come to a decision as to who we lynch by the end of the day, the topic of lynching inactives fits quite nicely. It also serves the purpose of pressuring people to post. If you have something better to discuss, let's hear it. | ||

Although, I myself do not like inactives, our goal is to lynch mafia. So unless we can't come up with any good target to lynch by the end of the day, then I don't advocate the lynching of inactives, but lynching them might be a good idea if we have nothing else to go on. As for dts checking inactive people(if we do indeed have dts), I think that might be a lot better plan than lynching inactives as we would be wasting town's greatest weapon. Lynching inactives is basically the same as RNG, a random chance of lynching scum. The only good thing is it prevents inactivity and encourages acitivity. | ||
