Chezinu, what is the significance of the boats? In my experience yachts are always used to launder money and ship pure cocaine.

Greetings fellow PCP enterprise employees,
My name is Mr. Walton. I am here today to instruct you in this intensive communication training program. As you have already fully grasp the chain of command communication system that has been established in this company for over a century, it is now time for you along with your fellow comrades to make further progress. It is time to talk with your co-workers face to face. I know it may seem tribal, but studies have shown that communication that coincides with physical contact is highly impactful in comparison to sending messages via the System.
So please, say Hello.
Do not be shy. I will stand here patiently until you begin to speak. Pretend as if I am not present in the room, until I correct and critique your interactions, of course.

So we're not expanding our product line then?
Hmmm, this corporate stratey needs more cross-functional synergy. For the sake of compliance and maximising our opportunities, a feedback system of transparency is needed. That being said to gain traction we need to double down on incentivising our stakeholders. A dynamic process of focusing on our core competencies where we drill down to the point of no return, will calibrate our business to exceed partner expectations.
Remember we can only succeed if we work together!

Yay its starting, well no day post but I got my PM. I am assuming that this is a day start so deadline in ~48 hours. Going to bed now see you tomorrow morning fellow employees, I feel like we are all going to need to put in some overtime this week...

Have we really started? As in there will be no day post.

On a dark and stormy night, the CEO gathered with his closest advisors in a pitch black room. He layed out a large book of rules on the table and unraveled a portrait.
"Gentleman," he intoned, "we are on the verge of creating history. We have dominated nearby towns with our skilled sets of rules and have stamped our authority on many subjects. Once we submit Liquidia, nothing will stand in our way to create a glorious empire. On the eve of our finest hour, let me regale you fine folk with a tale of our glorious predecessor, General Friedrich Buxhowden of the Russian Army."
"In 1805, the Emperor Napoleon met the Russian and Austrian Army on the fields of Austerlitz. Buxhowden opposed them, commanding the major strength of the allies. Unfortunately, Buxhowden was drunk during the battle and his command grossly incompetent. Consequently, Napoleon won his greatest victory. However, three years later Buxhowden had risen up to the supreme commander of the Russian Army. How did he do it, you ask?
Quite simple, instead of leading and reorganizing his men after the battle, he immediately sent out his post action report, blaming the other commanders. His haste ensured that the Russian Emperor read his report first. He found a scapegoat in the French turncoat Langeron, who performed solidly but quietly, and found other disgraced commanders who would support the fable that Langeron failed the Empire. Langeron was dismissed in disgrace shortly thereafter. Despite his incompetence in the field, Buxhowden was promoted. That, my friends, is the power of a true bureaucrat. He covered his butt first, and did his job second."
"Let us toast to our idol!" The Chairman of the Board wheezed.
"For Buxhowden! For Bureaucracy! For the jubjubs!" The Vice President of Marketing chanted.
Day 1 ends at midnight CDT (~48 hours from now). Night 1 will be shortened by 5 hours so we can get to a more euro-friendly deadline. Please vote both in this thread and in the main thread.

Wow, that was useful...
Ok since no-one seems to want to actually participate, here are some thoughts of mine of the setup.
Aside from trying to kill town, the only thing that binds mafia as a team is their strategy dictated from above. From my reading this is sent during the night. Thus day 2 is going to be crucial. We should be aware of people who change reads for bad reasons or suddenly become active. Basically anyone who suddenly gains direction overnight will be a good target to poke. As for Day 1, I think participation and clarity will be extra useful because mafia now know that they are setting themselves up for difficulties in Day 2 if they pick targets Day 1. People with clear targets are going to have to work harder to change them if a different CEO strategy comes in.
Thoughts?

Walton, are you the Batman?
Rest of you: Mafia have an advantage in numbers. We need to find a way to use this against them. They also have a disadvantage in communication, and we need to make sure we exploit that as much as possible.
A few ideas coming to mind: Large numbers will make it slightly easier to lynch a mafia, as long as we can keep communication to a minimum with them. They can only send one message a day, so we should try to create an environment that is shifting too much for that message to be useful.
Remember, they can't organize and respond to lynches effectively like a normal mafia.

Hi Q-bert-Z
You seem to be in a similar frame of mind as me. Thoughts on my post? When you say so we should try to create an environment that is shifting too much for that message to be useful.
What exactly do you mean?

No, I'm a fellow employee whom's job is to instruct you on your articulation skills. The content of the matter is quite meaningless to me. I just need to make sure to follow orders first and complete my job second.

Which is exactly what we don't want. Mafia are going to be all over the place Day 1, they are in the same boat as us right now. But tomorrow they will have a goal that they can work towards. The only way we can counteract that is by holding people accountable to their Day 1 reads. If someone suddenly changes their read for no reason, it will look even more suspicious than usual.
Why would a chaotic environment help? Surely the opposite, where people are clear about who they think is scum and why, is much better for finding inconsistencies.
Qbert, can you explain your thoughts please?

@Prob: I think that's Chezinu you got quoted there.
In any case, in this setup it seems pretty straightforwards to me. Analyze like normal, hold people to their views like normal, look for weird unsubstantiated cases like normal. There's more scum and they're less organized, but I don't see why we need to do our D1 or D2 anything different than what we typically do. Just keep an eye open for people doing shit without legit town motives and you're good to go as always.
@Chezinu: Chaos bad

Not pure Chaos... seemingly chaotic.. chaos for the mafia but order for the town. finding the right balance is quite an art form. You see... there really is no chaos.... it's just a very very complex event that can't be comprehended easily. The trick is to learn complex order so that the illusion of chaos is eliminated. let me give you an illustration to portray my point.. Let's discuss gray issues.. some people believe they exist and that not everything is black and white. Well, I say it's their perception that need some tinkering.
