Woah sorry guys. I had a long night(last minute project) and slept for most of yesterday =/
Thanks to freestalker and vyro for the sum up posts ^_^

Now I'll try to get a tally of the current votes going.

Enervate has 2 votes(including mine)
aScle has 1 vote
pHelix Equilibra has 3 votes(unless I missed an unvote)

and I'll join in the vote on Enervate because he's pointing fingers already but mostly because he's inactive since doing so

##Vote Enervate

##Unvote

Sorry I was at a horn concert and doing some other stuff as well.

First, looking at this mathematically there are 11 players, 3 of which are mafia. If you randomly choose a person there is a approx. 27% chance of getting it right. However, choosing randomly is a bad idea since you never know if you're lynching an important member (cop or medic).

The cop should look up a random member that isn't himself(obviously). That means there is a 3 in 10 chance of him being right (30%). If he is right, he should be able to hint to everyone else who is mafia. That leaves everyone else voting on another person. If you know who the cop/detective is, that leaves a 3 in 9 chance (33%) of being right. That's from 1/5 to 1/3 probability of being right. I don't know how well this works for day one but numbers are fun =].

----- Break for other half---
Leadership for townies is essential, and right now it looks like Conversion and Freestalker are the two most active in leading conversation and topics. Unless one of them slips up, I'd refrain from killing either of them for now.

Silent members have three possibilities:

1)They're trying to hide
2)They're lazy or disinterested in the game
3)It's a holiday and they're traveling

Going through we have these people being pretty inactive:

-jaminz: a few filler posts, nothing as contribution to the thread, pointing fingers
-aScle: one post?
-Enervate: very little posting as well

These players have said very little or immediately start pointing fingers (Enervate) when they start pointing. However, it doesn't make sense to choose him because he hasn't bothered defending any accusations or contributing anything to support his claim.

aScle and Jaminz have had very little to contribute. Their posts have little to no content and have not been active in general. Also, Jaminz has been very ready to point fingers but has little supporting evidence. I'll vote for him since he's just detracting from town synergy.

So, unless he can defend himself:
##vote Jaminz


Only issue with that is that if the cop outs himself right away, the mafia will know who he is and whack him, unless the medic heals him that night. So either we lose our cop right away or have two of our speciality units incapacitated for a night, leaving the mob free to thin our ranks.

Its not a bad idea but I'm pointing out the downside. Devil's advocate is fun ^_^

And one thing that came across my mind that someone might find useful, when you change the url to contain &currentpage=all instead of &currentpage=## (## = some number) you'll see the whole thread in one page. It's easier to search through posts like that.


Or you could click the All button at the end of the page numbers show on the upper right and bottom right of the page ^_^

Wow jaminz. Going from inactive to super substantial post! I guess the only critique I have to say is that you don't really paint anyone red. The closest you get is saying a couple of words here and there are suspicious. Granted I can't fault you for that because I honestly have no idea either. I was just kinda hoping for more information before I vote again. I also thought we were supposed to have our votes in by an hour ago >_<.

Would you say our best bet is to wait it out a bit more or do you have any gut feelings about any of the players?
I guess thats more of an open question so everyone feel free to answer, but I was specficially asking Jaminz cuz you seem to have a better handle on this game than most but have yet to vote

I'm currently leaning towards a vote for either Enervate (you can go back and check my analysis if you want to know why), Sirael (inactivity), or aScle (inactivity). Enervate seems to have read the thread, noticed he was voted for, and done nothing at all to even attempt analysis. The last two have been completely useless, but we've got another day to get our votes in (I think) so everyone still has time. These are just what I'm leaning towards right now, so everything is subject to change.


Lol yea. I really wanted to be like, hmmmm "Don't vote for me" , such a compelling arguement, and keep my vote for him, but since my biggest argument against him was inactivity and he somewhat explained it, I gave him the benefit of the doubt

I'll throw a vote for HardCorey .
##Vote HardCorey

I hope he gets active and defends himself. I don't like the idea of voting inactives out just because I doubt that inactives are mafia.

As for analysis, I guess now's a good a time as any.

1. pHelix Equilibria
+ Show Spoiler +
Seems to me to be a bit eccentric but I get a town vibe out of him. He's not the most tactful which leads me to believe he is town. If he were mafia he'd either shut up or be told to shut up by the other mafia.
2. Rising_Phoenix
+ Show Spoiler +
He was a bit defensive when very light accusation was thrown at him, but that feels more natural to me than suspicious. He does seem to be a bit accusatory, which makes me want to keep an eye on him. At this point though, I think its more him being active then necessarially mafia, but I'll definitely keep an eye on him.
3. HardCorey
+ Show Spoiler +
Most inactive. Hasn't really said anything worth mentioning, just a random vote for the person everyone was voting for. Most likely not mafia but as he's been so inactive, he wont be missed.

4. FezTheCaliph
+ Show Spoiler +
A tactical genius. Voice of a generation. Sexy brown studmuffin. All around appealing guy
5. Sirael
+ Show Spoiler +
Not much about him. Some posts with some content but nothing substantial. Just his opinions on the more controversial people. Only thing to be wary about is that he was the first to jump on the HardCorey bandwagon, granted I can't say much as I did too.
6. Freestalker
+ Show Spoiler +
Easily the most active poster. Is doing a great job keeping up with everything and doing analysis and directing conversation. The only thing that worries me about him is that he could be overcompensating, being the super active townie as a front. I don't think that is very likely. But thats about the only negative I could think of.
7. Enervate
+ Show Spoiler +
Seems pretty defensive. Granted he had everyone voting against him. Was quick to try and point the finger elsewhere and jump on someone else. It seems more of a reflex. I kinda feel he got scared and that didn't help his case any. Seems like a natural reaction but could have more sinister undertones. Another person to keep an eye on.
8. Conversion
+ Show Spoiler +
Is pretty active. Not exactly his biggest fan because he called me out on not posting much aside from tallies. I'll be honest, aside from theory crafting I kinda stayed out a bit. I wanted to see more peoples opinions before I went out pointing fingers. And it seemed like a lot of work, and I am fairly lazy. So I'm going into analysis now ^_^ Anyway Conversion seems alright. And its his birthday! So yea I'll leave him be.... for now =p
9. Jaminz
+ Show Spoiler +
Went from inactive to having some good insights. Seems alright, and I get a big town vibe off of him.
10. vyro
+ Show Spoiler +
Idk about him. He was active for a bit and then kinda disappeared. Could be sinister, could just be real life.
11. aScle
+ Show Spoiler +
Just recently showed up and posted a bit. Seems a bit late to the party and that troubles me a bit. Seems like he's trying to save face by showing up at the last minute
.

These are just my views on individual players at the moment. I kinda feel that people were less active cuz it was the weekend, and I'm hoping things will pick up.

so yea, tl;dr voting HardCorey, worried about phelix, phoenix, enervate, vyro, and aScle.

Wow. This is why I said post and defend yourself or something.

Don't get too taken aback by this guys. Blue roles don't win games, effective discussion and lynching win games.

Blues being sniped/mislynched kill town morale, but an active town > blue roles. Remember, blues should only supplement town's analysis and lynches.

Extremely disappointed at HardCorey's play though. sigh.

Wow. That was actually really uplifting. Thanks!

Just to defend my "he's most likely not mafia" statement, there were quite a few posts about voting for inactives. I agreed with the logic behind them and thats why I voted for the inactive player. I had no proof of him being mafia, or any strong reasons behind it other than that he was inactive, which is why I didn't feel he was mafia(lack of proof). I really didn't have any strong vibes off of anyone else, and I needed to get a vote in before the time ran up.

Although I think its kinda fishy that jaminz warned us about vyro and then is almost immediately whacked, I think its more coincidence. Which will prompt me to ask this

Did all mafia have to send their votes in before 12am est or just before you posted the next day post

If thats the case, then it seems more like coincidence. I know its tempting to take the omnious warning of the recently deceased, but lets not jump on the bandwagon right away. Thats how we lost our cop

Sirael hasn't shown up yet. I had a post early to point this out and try and pressure vote him to post but I forgot to post it(saw artosis was streaming and was like wtf awesome!) =/

Seems pointless to vote for him at this point, wouldnt make a difference and wouldnt convince him to post.

Gonna vote Enervate, I tried to give him a bit of leeway but he seems to be sprialing out of control. Flip flopping all over the place trying to find a way out. Seems a bit too put on.
##Vote Enervate
FoS on Sirael since he spent the entire day without making a post

No hate at all man! Just keep playing, you should be fine. Though it doesn't make it any easier for the Town =/ .

So Medic play this night is gonna be key. A loss tonight would be awful.
