@yomi- A very different opening compared to last game's, haha.

@Splinter- I think it's just the nature of D1 opening posts, as there isn't that much to talk about yet.

Hello everyone!

This is my first game of mafia but I already love it! The theme is amazing too, we're on a spaceship!

On a more serious note, I think we've established that Day 1 should be a No-lynch, we should wait and see how the first night develops.
HOWEVER, if its blatantly obvious that there IS one trying to hide something, not saying anything, things could change around.

Thoughts?

I don't think we've established that Day 1 should be a no-lynch at all. A few people have merely stated that in the absence of a better case that would be a preferred option.

@Splinter[eP] - while you raise a good point, I don't think mafia would typically be pro no-lynch day 1, as early town miss-lynches are common and it would be easy for them to slip by without getting much notice (while an innocent townie is killed off).

Oh, the Drama! We're stuck on a spaceship with close quarters.

Lazermonkey - Day one is the most important day to analyze. Even though it is a noob game, work needs to be done.

Pure-SC2 - The no lynch is a terrible idea. Misslynch is collateral damage. It happens.

I'm not playing the hate mafia squad, I dont want to get thrown out the air lock on the first day.

Maybe I'm overthinking this

you are

for lynching on day 1 you need to be about 50% sure for it to be profitable in the long run. so we should probably do it, but you just have to wait and see. right now obviously I'm not 50% sure on anyone.

Alot of people are inexperienced and WILL ''scumslip'' even tho they are townies. I'm not saying that you shouldn't analyse what people are saying, but rather that you shouldn't tunnel someone just because you thought something they said in one of their very first posts was suspicous.

this is a great point and is why town is currently losing in X, also due to inactivity. mafia don't make the little semantic "slips" that people are usually looking for. in fact careless posting is a sign of a town player, as they aren't nearly as paranoid when they post.

I noticed the same yomi, they are currently lurking. And back to the "lynch, no lynch" topic, yomi you make a good point is your previous 2 post. we can't just lynch for the sake of lynching, it needs to benefit the town. And just lynching a townie and not learning anything is just a waste. so personally i'd say lynch if suspicion be, and if not? i see no point in random lynching.

ya rando lynch is bad that's 25% I think to hit which is not profit. But you only need 25 more points to get to 50% and then we are in profit territory so we'll see how it plays out. if everyone is getting along friendly and lurking all day like they are now then we can't do anything.

Shit. I was asleep or at class until now. Anyways, I personally think that a lynch on the first day would be a mistake. I haven't followed much mafia, played before, or read as much as I should have, and so my personal view is that it would be a shame to lynch someone solely based on trying to trim down the total pool of people in the spaceship.

As an addendum to my previous post, it is going to be hard to judge whether someone is lurking or just sleeping, seeing as we have people from USA, Europe, and even South Pacific. Since days are 24 hours and nights are 48 hours, I definitely think that you need to wait for a fairly long time (I'm thinking about 9 hours), because people do occasionally sleep

If nothing else, at least for first little bit we should tell everyone our relative schedules so that there is no misunderstanding. To start this off, I will be going to class in about an hour, and after that I'll be able to post maybe once before going to work until about 10:30ish PM (AZ time)

with all this nonsense talk about scheduals and lynch/no lynch, we're forgetting about the real issue here:

THERE'S MAFIA SCUM AMONG US.

I know it is day one, but does it have to be so passive? I don't want to vote for the wrong person based on three posts

Dude. Give it some time. We are only about 6 hours into the game, and we have almost 50 hours until voting time. We've gone thruough only 1/11th the time until the first vote. If someone only posts 3 times in the first 55 hours and has little content to judge in those posts, then you know what to do.

But yet your own post doesn't really contribute much at all. If you think not enough people are posting or that they are posting useless stuff, wouldn't it be better if you did some analysis yourself? I think everyone are conscious about that we have mafia among us and everyone would like to avoid dumb misslynches. You are stating the obvious here.

Your post is even a bit counterproductive in that you discouraging people from making posts about lynch/no lynch. Afaik there isn't much else to talk about atm but please let us know if there is something. Talking about peoples opinions about lynching gives us a tell on their gameplan/motives etc. so I find nothing bad with it.

I'm off to bed now. There is a chance that I will not be able to post to much untill 20:00 CEST tomorrow.

Gotta say, I don't think much of your view on miss-lynching.

I don't get why some people want to rush to the voting, if anything we should just wait a bit longer and see if whysomuch is going to post, he's the only one who has yet to post.But like Mordanis said we've plenty of time.

Hey all,

This is my first game on this site, but I have played WW elsewhere so I'm not a total newbie.

First off, with regards to No-Lynch, this is a very bad idea. We have 2 kills a day as of right now, the vig and the lynch, by negating a kill we are automatically giving the wolves an edge by not taking advantage of our kill-rate. Also, even though a villager is more likely to be lynched, the information we gain via wagon analysis, late vote changes etc. becomes very valuable as we progress through the game.

And a random question: Is there any way to get more posts per page? Right now mine is set to default and couldnt find a way to make me see more posts. Idk if it's possible.
