individual random voting is stupid. You need only very few determined voters to manipulate the vote to their likeing. Central random voting can be ensured by cryptographic means, but I am not sure this is within the rules, so I'd like a statement of a GM on this topic.

@bp:
We have to find out who is mafia by their behavior and with the help of detectives. Who accuses whom, who votes against whom etc just like in a offline mafia.

Why is individual random bad? Even if a towny gets lynched, it will only be by like 4 votes. This makes it extremely easy to get started as it gives our detectives/cops etc a very focused sample of people to look at. If we all just listen to randombum and vote on Neax, we still have no leads and one less towny.

If we use real random voting, we have a chance between 4/30 and 7/30 to kill a mafia, without the possiblity of the mafia interfering (using a trusted source of random numbers).
The advantage of individual random is, evenso it has a higher probability of a townie dying, that it might give us some information to analyze.
I still consider real random voting superior.

Anyways my random returned:

@bp1696: It's actually fairly uncommon for a game of mafia to have clues each morning. As you can see from the first game, the clues were often too ambiguous (thus leading to townies being lynched). Conversely, they might be too obvious.. leading to the mafia being on the receiving end.

Never fear though, since there is only 1 (or 2 with murderer) kill(s) per night, and everybody should be actively posting. I have no doubt that we'll see an exciting game that will come down to the wire. Look for clues in what people are saying, especially in retrospect after a death.

@MasterOfChaos: Regarding central random voting: Perhaps you could outline exactly what it is you are proposing. As long as there is no private communication however, I doubt there will be any problem.

Nm read a little more it seems that because I was the first to suggest random killing it means I'm the first to die. So... how else was the town suppose to choose the first person? If you can think of a better way to start it off other than random numbers then I'll concede that you guys have a base to vote for me. However if you guys are voting for me because one person suggested that I should be killed for starting random numbers than I think thats worse.

Vote for a random number OR

Vote for the person who suggested using random numbers for fairness because one dude decided that I was mafia for being the first to pick a random number

I didn't even think of that, but that would be a cool way to choose. I actually got you in the number generator though.

I explained myself. I did a few random generations, and basically looked for 3 numbers to pop up out of 10. The first for this to happen was 4, which was my number, and then 24, which is yours.

OR you could do something that will benefit us off the bat:

Start dialogue about whatever and kill anyone who doesn't speak. That way 2 things happen:

1.) If they are innocent but inactive they die anyway, and we get info on their role. No point in having anyone around that doesn't contribute so kill them anyway.

2.) By having the "everyone must speak" rule we make it so that Mafia also have to speak, which means any smart Innocents can potentially lure them into a logical trap and catch them in a lie.

So I'm going to go with the "anyone who doesn't speak" or contribute to the discussion in any way for the first day's vote.

Random lynching was a somewhat terrible choice mainly because we don't know how many Mafia members are in the game which makes it pointless.

First so no fek and dragoon if you guys really did get me in the random generator than I have nothing against you. (Except maybe so no fek you know you are allowed to vote for yourself and able to change it away if it seems like you are about to die It would help me, but you have no reason to so that is why this entire thing is in parentheses)

Jtan, kingkosi and zbir however, are not voting off random number. They simply have followed Jtan's theory, which is wrong. We do not have 0% chance of getting a mafia, but at least 13.3_% (4/30) up to 23.3_%(7/30). That's decent based of pure luck.

While its a high chance to get a townie.... there is no real way to increase chances of targeting a mafia member.

However, if you guys really do insist on voting me off first because i was the first to suggest a name then I'm actually OK with it. It beats putting a lot of effort into this thread to lose 1/2 though. (Although these posts have taken some time) But I urge you guys to not kill me cause I would prefer to live. If disagree with random numbers then follow Ace's advice and get someone who does not contribute instead

Killing someone who hasn't posted yet does make more sense, as they are either mafia, or won't contribute as a townie.

As for voting for myself, well, I'm a survivalist townie, and someone has gotta die. I really did get 24 a few tries after I got 4, and I'm not voting for myself. So, I'll look back at it, and possibly change my vote to an inactive.

How did you end up voting for me? Did You get me with random number generator too, or did you have your own reason for voting me?

As of right now I think its 5 votes for me with 2 of them being random numbers 3 of them being something else.

It's just tough voting seeing is how there are no clues, and I would hate to have randombum who is contributing to get booted so early it seems that he like some of us want to catch some scum.
