All of the following ideas are in connection with the drowning in the fountain:

LaXerCannon has the quote "just keep swimming" which applies to the drowning in the fountain.

TyranoS_Nivek and MooCow both have the same public profile except for the last sentence, and in both of them it mentions treading water for 3 days. May apply to the drowning in the fountain.

deconduo has a picture of a boat in his profile; a weaker connection to the drowning than the above mentioned users

onihunter has been swimming for 5 years, connects to the drowning

My bad on the edit I thought it was safe to do before the actual game started.

Looking at Zeks suspicions and browsing through the profiles, 3 ppl kinda fits
29_deconduo ( water and an Irish poem that might mean something?!)
7_onihunter ( 5 [five attempts] years swimming yea? i'm sure he knows how to float in a town fountain
4_crate ( I think he's the only one that mentions anything about a car in his profile )

Another person with mention of a car in their profile is DCLXVI, in which it says: I'm just borrowing your Humvee!

Also, jianbung drives people around in a van according to his profile

I think 21 jiabung should be added because in his profile he makes mention of driving a van a few times, and we did have someone get killed by a car. Van doesn't equal car, but it's still worth note I think

I'm looking forward to reading pages and pages of text tomorrow lol. Also, hope to see some of the inactives stepping forward and getting some additional candidates for office. Have a good rest of the night gents

Holy cow this game is a lot more intensive than I imagined! Exciting none the less though. As it stands, I feel uncomfortable with voting in YellowInk not because of the clue that links to him, but his overeager attitude of getting in office. Just seems a bit off to me right now, only time will tell. Like Lunar said, mayor should take out inactives. But you cast for Darth so quickly, and that seems strange to me. Maybe it's because this is my first time playing mafia and I don't understand all the subtle things going on, but it seems too early on to be casting votes when we haven't heard from everyone, as well as given candidates enough time to say their piece.

I agree with crate, I'd like to hear more policy talk from mayors. As it stands right now, I'm leaning toward Darth, but I am not convinced. Might just end up voting for a random at this point with the way some of the candidates have presented themselves lol

At this point in time I'm going to be voting for YellowInk. He's attracted soooo much attention to himself, it just feels like he's pro-town at this point. Also, Darth has a few people who have voted that haven't given their reasoning and have little content in this thread; simply doing what they have to do in order to get their man in office.

YellowInk: Just wanted to point out, deconduo is not posting at the end of the day as he is in Ireland. His end of the day and ours don't match up, and like he said in his post, he'll be posting more when he gets back from work. So I wouldn't worry too much about what times people are posting, as this is an international community we won't all be awake and active at the same times all the time

Either Misder and BrownBear are mafia and Misder voted late.

Or BrownBear is having those bad luck again. That or Mafia is screwing with us.

And Misder, can I hear your reason for voting brownbear?

Seems like a really random vote from Misder. He's been quiet mostly, so either he is just tossing away his vote or something is going on here.

Deucegladlier: Just saw that you voted, and was curious what you've been up to? Haven't seen you on the thread since you posted:

Good morning, everyone!

Thegilaboy - You helped collect some clues and you expressed that you don't like that I'm overeager, but beyond this you havn't provided much substance. You're not on the short list, but I'd like to hear more about what is on your mind about the game at large.

Morning to you too. Sorry for not providing much substance beyond my clues! I'm new to this whole mafia game thing, and a bit overwhelmed by some of it

. As of right now I've just been watching you, Darth, and some of the other very actives voice their opinions so I get a feel for how this all works. I'm starting to understand some of the intricacies, and will try to be more vocal from now on!

In terms of the game at large, I'm less weary of you and Darth now, you seem to be on the up and up. What concerns me are the very inactives who have simply casted a vote and disappeared, one case being Deucegladlier. He has said almost nothing in this thread, and all he has done is voted for himself, seems like strange behavior to me. But if he was mafia I would have expected him to try and vote in a mafia figure in conjunction with the rest of that crew, and that doesn't seem to be the case here. People who have voted and left no reasoning at all seem to be of concern for myself and others, and I really hope that those people speak up!

All and all, this is a very cool game

To clean out the shadows, so to speak, I'd like to propose a clear policy of anti-inactivity. In these early days before we have any good targets to hang (if for some reason we do get good targets to hang we will of course go after named scum as a priority), I suggest that we target those who are inactive. The large scale purpose of this is not that I actually desire to hang anyone due to inactivity (since unfortunately most of these people are likely to be town - especially so in a game filled with new players), but to impress the importance that we cannot effectively combat the scum if people lurk.

Therefore, I propose the following requirements to all posters: You must post your thoughts on at least four different people each day. Give reasoning (this is important). These thoughts must be spaced out such that two of these posts must be at least 12 hours apart. That is to say you can talk about 3 people at one point, then just sometime later in the day you have to give thoughts on another person. This is a bare minimum requirement. I encourage people who really are town to go ahead and post as much of their thoughts as they are willing.

It is also important that you post as much original thought as you can. Since this is not something easily judged, I'm not putting it in the above requirements. However the mafia will be forced to conceal their intentions in some way - and one of the easiest ways they could choose to do so is to just parrot the thoughts that others have already expressed. So if you're town, don't do this! You may agree with their thoughts and voice that you do so agree, just don't count it as one of your four thoughts for the day.

The consequence for failure to meet this policy will be that you will be eligible to be hung solely on the basis of your inactivity. In this early game, we will often not have great scum targets. If everyone were to talk a lot, we might have some decent reads on folk. Furthermore, we'd have more information in the mid to late game from all of this early talk to figure out who is mafia.

Please discuss your thoughts on this policy. This is something the town has to agree upon since people are lynched by majority vote. I think it is clear how this policy will have a long term effect of benefiting town.

I'd like to know why you would want this especially since it would mean hell for some people (me) as it would require getting on the computer before going to school to meet this requirement.

Agreed, I have work and other RL obligations and I don't think imposing a policy like this is fair (I am referring to the 12 hour thing here). Everyone could be more active yes, but trying to set down rules for it seems a bit much for some of our schedules

That's not to say I mind everything else with that policy

Absolutely, I actually really like the enthusiasm to get people posting more. Just that whole 12 hours between posts thing is a bit much!

@LaXerCannon and Thegilaboy concerns expressed

I don't see why the 12 hour thing is a challenge. You have a 48 hour window. This means you could post at hour 0 and hour 40 and you'd be fine. Or you could post at hour 24 and hour 36. It doesn't much matter to me. I'm sure almost everyone here has a job/school/regular obligations. Over the course of 48 hours you should be able to find two times to post.

The purpose of the 12 hour policy is to prevent someone from sitting down and posting once (or in one sitting nearly back to back) in the entire 48 hours. I want to hear your impressions at different times in the day (at least twice). Does this make more sense?

Forgot that its a 48 hour day lol, my mistake. Then yeah, that seems reasonable, and very doable!
