How's this not good for the town?

The bodyguards were strung up on lines like a human clothes line.

Both were flattened into human pancakes.

He saw two men; one tall and lanky, the other carrying an explosive device.

First impressions, midway through page 8: HeavOn is 100% right about the likely hood of one of us being GF compared to him. His chance is a straight 1/38, ours are much higher.

That said, that was the exact same reasoning we used to almost get randombum into mayor during mafia 2 (LOL WAY TO GO INACTIVE MAFIA MEMBERS). We got him pardoner instead, which ended up netting us some info, so I'd suggest people vote the person they're most comfortable with. I personally can't favor the math here because I know i'm 100% innocent, which forces me to favor my candidacy.

As for one of us three being GF, I can see mafia advancing GF to take DT checks and establish a fake circle of trust, but GF isn't a standard mafia member in this game. He has a straight KP and Cover, which might FAR outweigh the risk/reward of getting into office, but it seems to me from my initial analysis that that's not the case. Either way, even if its favorable, most players play suboptimally in all mafia games, so it wouldn't be surprising if the GF wasn't running.

The reason WHY pre-running was removed is that it gives the pre-running player a much lower risk of getting in, and the move is made pre-role distribution which means that their candidacy gives us nearly zero information.

Moving onto page 9 now.

These clues are hard..I tried finding something to get the town talking about clues but found nothing..

Stuff I found important:
a maid?
pancakes was so close to Plexa's icon. Anyways, possibly a cook?

tried searching tall and lanky on the forums but just found Rekurl

So I basicly wasted a lot of time trying to find something..

Any GF who started running before receiving their role would certainly yell "jackpot!" and stay in the race.Heavonearth's chances of being GF are certainly higher than 1/38, and, all things considered, probably not very different compared to L's or BC's.

This is gonna be like learning Santa Claus isn't real all over again (hope I didn't spoil anyone), but the people who run these games don't usually assign the roles in a perfectly random way. They usually make sure a total noob doesn't become GF, for example, and the GF is usually randomized around until it lands on a player who is at least somewhat experienced, which fits all three people running. Don't forget that a player who announces their candidacy before the election can always pull out after the game starts if they roll blue and don't want to draw attention to themselves, or are green and would rather a blue win, or are red and don't want to get checked or have the cover on them all game long (for any of these reasons they could come up with some excuse not related to the game).

huh well this is kind of lame. I just read everything and there isn't much to comment on. The only semi decent clue link was pyrr like 4 posts up about BC/Chaoser and food/rekrul. But those both suck ass anyway. Heavon dropped out so it looks like our two main candidates are BC and L. But yeah, I am going to wait until I see a voting time frame before casting mine, L's insanity could be hard to read in office and BC's experience could be annoying to determine alignment so by the end of this I might just be coin tossing. I figure this game I might as well practice some clue analysis though so after day two I will probably start posting some stuff that hopefully doesn't suck.

All was quiet in the town of Liquiville. The sleepy town had never been one which dabbled in the troubles of bigger cities and was content to live a simple country life. The moon was high in the sky with the light filtering through the windows of the village folk when the silence was broken by a shrill sharp yell. Confused, two of the village folk went out to investigate the strange noises. Their search lead them to the Emperor’s Palace, a find they wished they could just forget.

As they stepped through the gates they saw a sight which resembled a bloody battle. The bodyguards were strung up on lines like a human clothes line. Blood spilling from their gored bodies and pooling on the ground. The two forced themselves to continue on, for the sake of the town. They tread through the blood and into the inner palace. Little did Camlito and Ace know that this foolish move would be their last. As they entered, a bomb went off to their right, sending a pillar crashing down on top of the poor innocent townies. Both were flattened into human pancakes.

The events at the Palace were not yet through for the night. Plexa, the Emperor, had heard the noises, seen his Bodyguards brutally tortured and murdered and heard the explosion down stairs. He knew that whoever the intruders were, they were after him. Fortunately Plexa’s Palace was well equipped with hiding places after his Uncle’s erratic fear of giant spiders. It was not difficult for him to completely conceal his presence in the room.

Two men were rummaging around in a room nearby, where exactly he could not tell. The sounds came closer and closer and very soon they were in the same room as him. He saw two men; one tall and lanky, the other carrying an explosive device. Their plan became immediate to him, they were going to blow his palace up with him inside. The two began setting the device while Plexa buried himself in his hiding place.

“Wait” said one of them. Plexa heard footsteps, he heard gun load, he felt the cold of the barrel up against the back of his neck. The man pulled the trigger. The Emperor was dead.

Dawn broke, and the cry of the countless vultures overhead woke the villagers from their slumber. The smell of death filled the air and immediately they all knew their quiet little village would stay quiet no longer. Amongst the ruins of the Palace the village found the body of their beloved Emperor as well as the bodies of his fallen guards. There was a note posted on the town gallows which read “We will not rest until every last villagers is dead. You will all pay for what you have done to me”. The town was confused at this note, but knew what they must do. A new Emperor must be elected, one prepared to fight the Mafia insurgence and save the town from brutal slaughter.

You have the gift of being able to determine who is a member of the Mafia. However, you are old, and cannot use your abilities indefinitely. You have three different abilities you may choose from each day. You can only activate one of them per day. You may PM me asking about the number of Mafia who voted for a particular person to be lynched (not elected) three times total. I will PM you back the number of Pledges who are on that list. You may PM me asking about weather a particular person is a member of the mafia three times throughout the game. I will PM you back either "Yes" or "No". You may PM me asking whether a particular clue links to a specific person as many times as you wish throughout the game. I will PM back either "Yes" or "No".

When do I activate my ability? Please PM Plexa with your selected choice of ability during the Day.

Please cast your vote here for the role of Emperor.
Voting will close, at most, 48 hours from now. If I can see that a clear consensus has been reached then voting could end sooner.
