Alright just woke up, On the topic of random voting, I don't mind it so long as its a means to an end. It should generate discussion not baseless band wagons

Also on the issue of third party. Isn't little finger sort of irrelevant to town? I mean unless he's going to act like a total dick and try to get himself lynched he really shouldn't be a problem for us, its scum who have to worry about shooting him. Townies look for scum, scum look for third party, lets not do scum's job for them by finding the guy whose potentially the biggest threat to their operation. It's better if little finger stays hidden looks like a helpful blue and soaks up a hit. I'm not saying we shouldn't talk about him, I just don't want to give him away(which as far as we know makes no difference to him) until scum finds him on their own, because just by being there as he is he disrupts and confuses scum.

For the record though I think he has to ensure that catelyn survives no matter what(or maybe sansa) and ned dies. Or maybe he just has to identify everyone. It'll be near impossible to confirm our theories until later when we've seen someone act peculiar(like a third party would) even then though like I said before it might still be a good idea to keep Baelish under wraps.

Next up, Xatalos, why did you vote for me of all people? Is it because I'm a newer player eg an easy target to pressure/bandwagon?

wherebugsgo, I understand it may be tempting to troll the game because you know that you cannot be killed, but I ask that you limit the spam to make the game enjoyable for the rest of us. You don't have to destroy the thread to achieve your win condition.



Carefully constructed? Since when is that only a mafia trait? Do you disagree with any of the points that I made? You certainly are in no position to call my posts bland based on your contributions.



As poor as this suggestion is, I feel that it is unlikely that a scum aligned gumshoe would have the confidence to actively push a scum agenda and publicly blue fish in the thread.



I hardly see how you've managed to generate pressure on greymist with your vote. Do you intend to explain what these reasons are or is it a secret?

It's getting late here so I'll post my lynch preferences in the morning. Hopefully there will be more content to analyze by then because right now it seems like the vast majority of players have yet to post much.

I feel that it is unlikely that a scum aligned gumshoe would have the confidence to actively push a scum agenda and publicly blue fish in the thread.

Let me tell everybody my opinion, so you can get a good read on me!

Gumshoe skips the day post, says we should talk about policy, doesn't discuss policy, asks some questions, and then accuses the person who is easiest to attack, Acrofales.

My guess as to why he skipped the day post is that he got a powerful role(blue or scum) and was excited to use it. He is either a lazy townsperson with a powerful role or scum. Overall, I think he seems a little less scummy than Mattchew.

Thank you Jackson ( : but keep in mind it is possible(though unlikely considering scums hate for flashy play early on) that Where is scum, we shouldnt just take his word for anything but I agree talking about Baelish is pointless and benefits scum the most. For now we can just ignore Where as if he was just a dumb poster.

moving on lets discuss policy(it'll only take a bit and we may as well get it over with early on) do we set a preliminary lynch deadline?(im leaning 8 hours in advance if we do) Do we policy lynch hardcore lurkers?(by hardcore I mean like 3 one liners a cycle, personally for this because lynching lurkers always helps clear the air a bit and they werent helping anyway so nothing really lost) are we going to elect a mayor?( I've never done this before so I dont know how that works)

Please, be so kind to point out to me what in acro's play that makes him scum.

With regards to wbg, am I right in saying that the only evidence we have as to what his purpose in this game is, is that the character you portray from the book is untrustworthy? If so, I don't even get why people bring up what this guy says as though it might support something they have to say or they feel the need to stand up to his accusations.
I'm not posting much because I don't have much of a clue as to wtf is going on at the moment lol, is every mafia game this weird? People just seem to be hurling shit at each other for not a whole of reason.

Bed now anyway, cya in the morning

How the fuck? Lynching evantrees is fucking bonkers. Lynch me, or lynch acro. A lynch not on me or acro furthers scum agenda. If you don't want to vote acro, vote me. That way you guys know I'm telling the truth. It's really that simple.

Spoilers is all caps for easy reading.

I have no idea how people could ignore me and not lynch me. My plan is going through one way or the other. Deal with it.

normally I'd agree, but we have a third party troll. Things had to be done to show that no one should listen to wbg

The only reason this all started is b/c I was convinced wbg was shooting me. I didn't receive a PM saying someone protected me, which means he was bullshitting the entire time. He pretty much flushed out the town dt b/c I had to get out the word that my check on acro was scum (I'm assuming he has a list of what everyone is, or he caught onto the fact that I used the word detect a million times in my day 1 posts)

It's my fault I fell for his night-shot claim, and I feel bad for it. I'm sorry, but once the cat was out of the bag I felt the only way to give town a fighting chance was to force the 10-3 following my lynch (again, I still think it's more logical when you think about it to lynch acro, but apparently I'm wrong)

Sorry waited a bit due to being uncertain if curu wasn't just late with a pm due to reason for tiny daypost. So pmed him asking then went to bed.

I was not hit last night, so mostly likely roleblocked SLJ. I really don't see SLJ being jailed, vigged and hit by scum.

Which would mean there could be two roleblockers, someone could have jailed bugs or bugs could be lieing.

@Sinensis respond or post at all?

Since I would not mind seeing him lynched or shot for now

Okay... It looks like this day was a real mess (as well as day 2 to a lesser degree) so I hope day 4 will be the day where Mafia are finally figured out. I'm not still 100% confident on my own Mafia reads, but I'll post all my opinions and findings now, in case I get killed at the deadline.

I'll go through every player with my opinions/notes as well as a verdict: good/medium/bad lynch. Good lynch: I'll vote for one of these if possible. Medium lynch: I'll vote for one of these if necessary not to get a bad lynch lynched. Bad lynch: I won't vote for one of these - I can't see them being Mafia.

gumshoe: He's been my top lynch for a long time, but I don't think he's the best lynch anymore at this point. First of all, he has been inactive for a long time, so he'll probably get modkilled soon anyway. Second, as some others said before, his careless and bold posts don't fit the Mafia mindset very well. Very possibly he's just a noob who spoke what came to his mind, no matter how possibly suspicious. Verdict: Medium lynch.

Zealos: Apparently some think he's suspicious, but I don't really see it. He's been very active, contributing and created a pro-town atmosphere. Unless I see something damning from him, I'm not willing to vote for him. Verdict: Bad lynch.

Mattchew: I really didn't like his confusing and disruptive way to play on day 1, but in the end, he's been generating a lot of useful discussion. Also, I can't believe Mafia (Acrofales) would have focused so hard on getting a fellow Mafia player lynched... I'm not willing to vote for him anymore. Verdict: Bad lynch.

risk.nuke: I was a bit suspicious of him after his first posts, but his later posts have been a lot more contributive. I'm not sold on either his innocence or guiltiness yet. Verdict: Medium lynch.

Jitsu: OriginalName was a lurker, but Jitsu has contributed quite a bit after he took over. I haven't seen anything suspicious about him yet... Verdict: Bad lynch.

Alderan: He hasn't contributed very much, but isn't really a lurker either. Not a very bad lynch choice, but not among the best. Verdict: Medium lynch.

chaoser: Clearly has experience in playing, but hasn't contributed much, disregarding some of the more trivial discussion. A semi-lurker who doesn't look very pro-town, but not anti-town either. Verdict: Medium lynch.

Lyter: Has contributed little and posted seldom. Something feels off, but not a top lynch yet. Verdict: Medium lynch.

GreYMisT: Also an experienced player, but hasn't contributed much or often. Was the runner-up in day 1 lynch, but wasn't voted by even a single Mafia player. Both him and chaoser haven't done much to help town, but GreYMisT feels more suspicious to me. Verdict: Good lynch.

sinensis: Doesn't look very interested in adding to the discussion, voting without much explanation or contribution. Apparently suspects evantrees mainly, but doesn't push his lynch other than voting for him. Verdict: Medium lynch.

evantrees: A hardcore lurker without real contribution. Certainly feels a bit suspicious, but could also be a disinterested townie. Verdict: Medium lynch.

So, I'll probably be voting for GreYMisT tomorrow if I can.
