The nominate a player strategy looks good in theory, but it seems that either people are inactive or do not know enough about each other to nominate players. I personally could only recommend YellowInk, but since he is inactive he may not be the best choice right now. The more experienced players need to step up and nominate people soon else we get two candidates for two roles.

I am not sure what everyone plans to get out of a mass name claim. As jonnyspazz pointed out, it would be unfair for the DEs not to have a safe name list. Any sort of name claiming would not be able to reveal them, and we would only give them hints to our blue roles (dumbledore probably has a spell.)

Even if radfield is going to be inactive I can communicate with him regularly. If and when we need to pardon we will use him. I'm going out on a limb here to stress that I will probably be the best person for the position. I am also asking the detective to IMMEDIATELY check me.

Do we have a detective? The role list says Detective: See Legilimency and Occlumency. Legilimency is listed as a mafia spell. From the way medic is defined (see episky, a blue spell) it seems that there is no actual detective that can role check.
Also, can people have multiple spells? Occlumency seems kind of useless unless people can have multiple spells. I am not sure why the mafia would want to try to find out everyone's character. Obviously they would like to know who harry is so they don't kill him, but other than that it only seems to help them guess at blue roles, maybe. (this is assuming that the mafia already have a safe name list)
So is it true that only mafia get the red spells and only townies get the blue spells?

I am not sure what to think about Amber[light] right now, he seems like a good player but until I get a clarification on spell rules I cannot make a guess at his role.
Now that YellowInk is here I feel more secure in voting for him or radfield. Radfield may be the better choice just because he sort of didn't want the role because he doesn't think that he will be active. That is either a good ploy or he is thinking for the better of the town; I think that it is more likely a townie sort of play. I have no idea about Hesmyrr.

@opz
So far I have only seen 1 good post out of you too, I just don't spam the thread like you do to seem active.

Now that we know there is a godfather I am more suspicious of Amber[light]. He is trying to arrange the two offices and asked for someone to rolecheck him once he gets an office.
I am going to throw my vote on roffles for now for the same reason as hesmyrr.

That's the whole point. Draw attention to the stragglers. Make them think they'll die and they come and make decent posts. Good Job. And look, I probably just taught you something? Sheesh. Atleast now you won't be killed for inactivity. Now onward to more pressing matters!
=(

Wow you are dumb (or mafia)

I'll bite. I don't have a read on DCLXVI either way. If I'm elected MoM (which I think is unlikely), I'll lynch DCLXVI unless there is some other compelling argument.

DCLXVI, don't take this the wrong way, I don't think I'll be elected MoM anyhow.

You should vote for me to get me into Gov if you have faith in me over the other two candidates. I believe you do since you voted for Roffles.

I have to agree with the sentiment of not liking the Amber[light] & Radfield together ticket.

Yeah I'll try for that...
so when I flip green can you guys kill opz for me? I don't really think he is mafia, but I don't like him too much.

what do the other candidates think for day1 lynch?

@opz
I called you dumb or mafia. You spammed the thread with useless posts and then called for other people to post more content, and I responded to that. I hoped that other people might pick up on that but apparently not. You may think that your "ploy" to get people like me to post more worked because you may have done nothing on fathers day, but that doesn't mean other people don't have commitments on holidays. Even so, you should say such bullshit as:

Oh and...

Good Job. And look, I probably just taught you something? Sheesh. Atleast now you won't be killed for inactivity.

two possibilities being you are dumb, or you are mafia accusing others for their lack of content while you posted nothing.

@amber

Out of all of the active players you seem to be the only one with immediate animosity towards another player. Sadly 9 out of 10 times these rivalries prove useless as both end up being townies anyway.

so 1/10 odds are better than 5(?)/20...

If you read my post on you (above) the only vote support post you made was that you feel secure voting for Radfield, but you voted for Roffles?

if you read my post then you would understand...

and finally

Not only that you don't even seem to know the rules enough to continue playing. If you read what other posters said about the spells (going back to the post I quoted above) you would already be on the same page. Feel's more like we're dragging you along at this point and you're somehow still not getting it.

please point out to me where BM clarified the rules on the spells. I brought up the discussion on spells because I felt that the original discussion was dropped too quickly and without sufficient reason. BM did say he had no idea if the game was balanced so I did not think that any assumptions about how the spells would be allocated should be guaranteed. Apparently you know how spells work so you probably have at least one, and you have to drag me along because I was not told how they were used in a pm.

are you done with the stereotypical last resort post? You're getting pretty defensive pretty quickly over the things that Opz and I are saying, and I really don't know why... since you asked anyway...

It's also a common mafia tactic to flood the thread with rule discussion, constantly going over the nitty-gritty of the rules and roles... this keeps discussion away from whats important, like electing a good candidate...

Do you wish to continue?

Apparently you feel that I responded to your questions in an scummy way, enough so for you to ignore what I posted. I am confused as to how you see my responses as defensive/desperate. I asked for a rules clarification once and you said it was covered already, I pointed out that it really wasn't and you respond that I am using mafia tactics to confuse the town. Are you not reading my posts, am I wording them in a confusing manor, or do you just want a target to throw dirt on?
