Is no one but me concerned with the ease this wagon is being pushed.

Can we please switch to Hassybaby, which is much more likely to be a good lynch.

Okay, so it seems I'm about to be lynched. Unfortunately I was pretty much MIA today, and wasn't able to respond to the case (or lack thereof) made against me.

I've tried to post honestly and openly. What I've said so far I still think is pro-town. Apart from that, I'd like the town to note two additional people:

Blazinghand: He has been very active and vocal so far. That paints him as town. However, he could have made all the posts nearly as easily if he were scum. To the townies: Please hold him up to the high standard he has presented so far. He still might be scum, just well hidden in plain sight. He was also the second guy to vote for my lynch.

xtfftc: Some scum vibes off him, not enough time to post an actual case.

All in all, the town seems to be in a decent situation going into night 1 / day 2. GL to the rest of you.

- Night 1 -

[image loading]

Zona smiled as the students continued to discuss and debate for the entire time period alloted for the class. It really was a genius idea to propose this Truth 101 course. No lectures to prepare, no papers or tests to grade, and no need to strain my voice talking for hours to an audience that usually doesn't listen. And nobody ever shows up for office hours, so for those, I get paid to do whatever the hell I want, how awesome.

A subtle ding! brought Zona's attention back to the students in the room.

"Time's up, class. Who are you going to vote to expel from the group today?"

A majority of those present quickly pointed at BByte.

"Hmm, so the will of the people is to remove BByte from group? Is that your final answer?"

Several students groaned in response, but no one wavered in their opinion.

"Very well. BByte, please reveal to the class the card you were provided at the beginning of the exercise."

BByte slowly pulled his card from his pocket and turned it over in a dramatic fashion. It was blank.

"Aw, that's too bad. Might I remind you all that your performance in this exercise just might have *some* impact on your final grade? You are dismissed for the day!

BByte, the Vanilla Townie was lynched Day 1!

Discuss nothing this night. If you have something to post, write it up and post it 24 hours from now-- do not give the mafia any additional material to work with until after they've made their decision. If you think you're about to die and have some grand revelation to make, make it 1 minute before the night ends so the mafia can't base their kill off it.

See you guys in 24 hours.

Ignore Blazinghand's advice. It's not the best way to proceed. The mafia has exactly one night kill, and any vanilla townie would be happy to be at the receiving end, so they should post and make the mafia afraid of them during the night. Incidentally, the blue roles should do the same, as to not stand out from the vanilla townies.

This is to be expected, It is very easy for mafia to deflect the day 1 lynch onto an inactive/scummy townie. I hope tomorrow we can resume playing on a more analytical basis. There was no reason to kill this guy over for example Hassybaby.

Also, there was like a pretty large chance of lynching a townie today anyways.

Not that I disagree; but I'd like to hear your case re: JB is scum. My read on him atm is weak.

Also, if you're scum, this is some seriously sub-par acting. And if your town, this is unuseful posting. And more hedging.

Now that I think about it, I don't think jb is scum. Originally, I thought his actions were a little scummy because of the hedging, but it's not too unreasonable to do that. To be fair, I just said he sounded a little scummy.

Really though I think I need a bit more time to analyze. Eventually we'll find out the results of night actions, to. Actually, this will be a big boon for us, since our dt and/or watcher will have info. Later in the game the town has more info. Lacking any additional info, therefore, I withdraw my scumread on jb. You never know what'll happen tonight, though, so let's wait for night actions to complete.

Just came back from work. Do you guys reckon I should post my new analysis now or closer to the deadline? Usually we would like to keep the discussion going but considering that pretty much everyone else is happy to lurk today, I wonder whether I should post close to the deadline to make it harder for the mafia to switch if they want to.

EB and I are of different opinions on this. You can make your own decision. Honestly, if you post like an hour or two before the deadline you're probably fairly safe, just because the mafia members probably all won't be awake (but who knows?) or will have already phoned in their kill, and are just waiting for the day post. If it's going to be difficult for you to be awake at the deadline, though, just post it when you can.

The odds of anyone posting something that will change the mafia decision is pretty low, btw-- but I'd just like them to have as little information as possible during the night.

I wasn't asking about discussing things during the night; this is something town should always do. The mafia love keeping quiet during the night because there's much less pressure to vote after the lynch - but if we engage in a discussion, they would be forced to do so. Just like my other views about policies and general town play, you can confirm my consistency on the issue by checking xlvii where I was town.. And I recall that I had a huge argument with vader about it, and he rolled mafia. He used the same argument you're using: that they will have less information this way, and it's totally wrong: it's not like the information they have from Day 1 suddenly becomes invalid. You said it earlier: mafia have more information than us at the moment, so we should try to increase the amount of information we have by all means at the moment. That's some red points for you, BH.
