It means something bad will happen. One character of the Mane 6, Pinkie Pie, has limited precognition as one of her many abilities, shown by her ears flopping, tail twitching, etc. I think "Tailtwitchy" means something will fall down from somewhere.

Apparently a "Strange power is rising"
Possibly referring to a timed mechanic?

Quick question: does a 2-1 trade benefit town or scum? (2 townies die for 1 scum dying)

Depends entirely upon the ratio of town to scum. How many scum are there?

I dunno, are we assuming 3 scum in this game?

Actually, nvmd, there's no way it would work. You don;t have to answer that.

Sinani and Nisani are linked at the hip. You have both of them on your watch list. We have 2 or a little more than hours left. We are currently headed towards a non lynch. And you want to switch it? And if you and Curu continue to call every swinging dick in the game names with every post I'm gonna opt out of every game you guys join. If you get this emotionally vested into a text based forum game I would suggest some counseling.

I have not called anyone names, thanks. I push who I think are scum to the brink and I call them scum.

I honestly don't understand how Townies can manage to post with such obvious agendas. I realize you're both real life friends but this is Mafia and everyone should be considered guilty until proven innocent, think with your head and come up with actual reasons to vote or defend people instead of just blindly chainsawing and voting people who vote for one of you.

Nisani is probably Town too since I can't see Mafia trying so hard to defend a Townie. Sigh. This game needs a reread.

I was afraid that nisani/sinani were simply defending each other because of their IRL relationship :\

Derpy hooves up in here man.

Can't wait to see what this strange power is.

That rarely, if ever, happens. Townies aren't smart enough to consolidate on scum so fast this early in the game.

I'll actually be pretty surprised if sinani is scum, I just don't believe a bandwagon on a scum would pile up so fast. I've never seen a scum go down without it being bloody difficult to get even two votes on him.

Why do you think it happened fast? i.e. Please quantify your understanding of "fast" with evidence to back up your claim that it did happen fast.

And with 2/3/4 scum in the game, every single scum would have had to jump on the wagon to support your theory. How likely is that really?

There is no way to distinguish between lurking town and lurking mafia.

Which is why lynching lurkers on D1 usually ends up producing shitty results. They are free to push the lynch off of one of their own lurkers (if any) to a town lurker and actually be supported by the whole town in it rather than scrutinized. Oh well.

I need to collect my thoughts on this game. It's been a bit of a mess so far.

The same way I saw it happen. Yeah the votes didn't necessarily pile up all at once, but nobody mentioned having a problem with lynching him until I came along, and I was jumped on for that. As soon as his name was mentioned along with the tag lurking everyone immediately went "Yeah, he's anti-town." That's how it built up fast.

It didn´t FEEL like a bandwagon, even if sinani206 was getting a lot of accusations on himself, there were loads of others also getting accused to divert away votes, not powerfull enough to succeed, but almost succeeding on forcing a no-lynch. If anything, it was the end that went easy, from 4 votes to 7.

Aaargh. I'm sorry, sinani206. I should have known that building a big case like that on Day One probably wasn't going to end well. I was really trying to avoid reading too much into what sinani said and didn't say, but I ended up doing it anyway.

Well, at least we can try getting some information from the voting patterns that resulted in sinani's lynch. When a townie gets lynched, I think it's important to look at the last few people who voted for the lynch. In this case, the last three votes happened surprisingly quickly, considering how much contention I felt existed between the different people on the chopping block. That means we should probably be looking at Lucidity, Jackal, and wherebugsgo.

The voter who stands out to me the most, out of these three, is wherebugsgo. Before the lynch, wherebugsgo kept saying that he didn't think sinani was Mafia and he strongly believed sinani was town. He even says at one point, "I'm not gonna vote sinani because I don't think we should lynch him today. How goddamn hard is it for you morons to understand this?" After saying all this, however, wherebugsgo not only votes for sinani to be lynched, but casts the deciding 7th vote. He is clearly aware that he is casting the decisive 7th vote to lynch sinani too, as he says, "Oops, I just noticed we only have 6 votes on Sinani" and votes for him. But then, in another post afterward, he says, "I'll actually be pretty surprised if sinani is scum. I don't believe a bandwagon on a scum would pile up so fast." This pattern shows that he doesn't think sinani is Mafia and is indeed quite sure he is a townie, but votes for him to die anyway.

If he felt so strongly that sinani was town before the lynch, why did he even vote for him? With that kind of certainty, it might have been better to vote for someone else and cause a no-lynch, rather than end up lynching someone he was sure was town, even if they were playing poorly as town in his opinion. No one was forcing him to vote for sinani, either; there were still a number of people who voted for other people. However, even though wherebugsgo continually states that he thinks sinani is town and implies that lynching him is a mistake, he votes for him anyway and gets him lynched. His actions contradict his posts, which is extremely suspicious.
