Heads up people, the deadline is at 2pm Aus (syd) time. That means the lynch vote is at 2pm Sat for me. My best friend from Uni is getting married that day, so I won't be here at the vote deadline. I was hoping we would start yesterday but alas it was not to be. My vote will therefore be made earlier in the day. I will be active as I usually am at other times.
I am also trying to avoid my usual text walls. So far I have been failing but hopefully this game I get it right.
I have a wedding on Saturday as well. So looks like we need to get our first lynch sorted out quicksmart.
Scum, please do something dumb within the first 12 hours of game start. Thanks.
Otherwise, I can always update from my phone.

Day 1: Mutineers![[image loading]](http://www.9000ipadwallpapers.info/images/wallpapers/cool/Pirate%20Ship%20Sailing.jpg)
Hushed murmers passed between the men of the SS Qatol as they waited nervously on the main deck of the ship. Behind them, the body of Foolishness hung by a rope around his neck from the central mast, his feet tracing little circles in the air as he swung in the calm sea breeze. His body had been found that morning, and the men on the night watch all claimed to have not seen or heard anything. Foolishness had been close to the Captain, often serving as his eyes and ears among the crew, and as such, hadn't been the most popular pirate among his bretheren. That someone would actually kill him though, and while at sea, went beyond mere dislike. Someone had decided to start a war against the Captain, and killing Foolishness was their first attack. So, the men talked quietly amongst themselves, making wagers on who the murderer, or murderers, were, and what would come to pass in the following days.
This talk died abrubtly, however, when the doors of the main cabin swung open. Preceded by his First Mate, Mattchew, Captain Wiggles slowly walked out of the dim interior of the ship. His gaze swept slowly over his crew, before coming to rest on the body hanging from the mast. He stared at it for a short while, before fixing his stare in his crew once again. Now he cleared his throat:
"GENTLEMEN! It has come to my attention that our much-valued comrade, Foolishness, has been most gruesomely murdered by someone on this very ship." Here, Captain Wiggles paused for a moment before continuing. "Now, this may come as a surprise to you, but Foolishness was one of my most trusted men, and a sailor I held in high esteem. That some wretch would kill him is something of a personal insult, to myself. It speaks of mutiny, and that is not something I will have on MY ship."
Wiggles stopped again, smiling softly, and then laughed. "So, I've decided to offer up a reward, which will be paid out to the men who manage to sniff out and punish these mutineers. I don't care how you do it. What methods you use is up to you, so long as they are dealt with. Make those maggots rue the day they spawned!"
And with that, Captain Wiggles and First Mate Mattchew left the deck as abruptly as they had arrived, slamming the doors to the cabin behind them, and leaving the crew alone to contemplate the words of the Captain and the lure of the promised reward.
Day 1 has begun! It's time to decide the first lynch!
Please place all votes in this thread. You have a little less than 48 hours from the time of this post, until 12 KST two days from now. Good luck, and have fun!

glhf!
So, to start some discussion here's some topics,
1). Should we adopt LA-Liars/Lurkers? Or just stick to analysis?
2).

I wonder how Qatol feels about being a ship? All those men riding in his bowels >_>
On to more important things, it feels so good to roll town again. As my first act I want to call out Bluelightz! Every game I have read or played with you I have not been able to tell your alignment. This diverts unecessary attention and time away from useful scum hunting. So shape up and be active. If you lurk this game I will make sure you swing from the yard-arm.

derp, EBWOP

2). The lynch.
3). Activity(Policy on lurkers)

ROFL, the only one who posts is the one who shouldn't be lurking. Great start!
LAL is a stupid policy and so is discussing it. The whole point of mafia is to make decisions based on the evidence in game. Having premade policy's that by their very nature preclude taking each circumstance on its merits, is stupid. I will not support a LAL policy. I doubt anyone would.

Awww, so slow...
1). I like lynch all liars. Lynch one lurker on Day 1 if needed- analysis takes care of the rest. I like analysis.
2).
|
EBWOP: Oh dear lord I said policy's instead of policies. For shame 
As for lynching lurkers, well I think they are good targets for any vigs we may have. Better to force them to post. There are different kinds of lurkers and so instituting a broad policy is stupid as well. Again, it doesn't take into account the specific information about the lurker. Has he posted at all or is he just AFK? I don't like it, there are better ways to deal with them.
|
I can only take you at your word that you're town, Prob, but if you really are, we're either both getting a win or both getting a loss this game.
Even after the Arkham city debacle, I still hate policy lynches. Ill stick to analysis for my method of finding scum.

We're screwing up posting so hard XD

Palmar, Jackal, deconduo and Pandain. You guys are the vets of this game. Any of you guys around?

Doesn't the one preclude the other? I mean following any policy requires the suspension of analysis. Besides if you institute a policy such as lynching lurkers day 1 you get no information going into day 2. I mean a lurker by their very nature has no information to give. In addition mafia can just push the lynch onto a town lurker. I am much happier voting for someone who is trying to lurk or is pushing a scummy agenda than someone who is just not here. Hence why I don't like policy lynches.
On a separate note, have you played much mafia here?

3:30am in Iceland and Ireland right now, probably a bit hopeful that Palmar and deconduo are on. The other two may be around, depending on which US states they're in.
Welcome back Misder, second wiggles game for both of us. If you're town again, do you plan on playing out the whole game this time?

I don't exactly know which policy you are referring to. Lynch all Liars is a good policy lynch (suspension of analysis as you call it). Any "analysis" becomes WIFOM and stupid. Lynch all Lurkers is a pretty bad policy lynch, and as such, the only time I would consider lynching a lurker without analysis would be on day 1.
"Much" is relative (and I'm guessing by your standards, no), but I've been here for at least a year.

lol. I plan on not getting cocky and then getting depressed so much that I have given up.

Keep on posting people!
I do agree with you Prob that we shouldnt use policies and...... but I think vigs we may have should fire on better targets then lurkers if possible, what do you think?
