My issue is Sheth being relatively new to forum mafia, more-so than the actual reservation of the spot. Don't get me wrong, I love him as a StarCraft player entirely, but that's a different game. If the reason you're using an invite system in the first place is to ensure people are good at the game, that's what should be done for everybody, regardless of how godly they are in the other aspects of their lives.

The traitor will obviously be trying to alert the mafia to his presence so if we cut down the flavor, its a lot less likely they will be able to slip in a post about the Eggs Benedict they were eating during the Hey Arnold! marathon. Plus it means GMarshal can't hide his fraudulent arguments in a wall of nonsense

Also, ##Vote Liquid`Sheth

Hi everybody. Just finished exams, so it's time to start the game.

First thing's first, I'm not going to spend much time trying to guess specific role/game mechanics. Why? Because the set-up is closed, and there's no way to figure it out with no flips (Besides people claiming). Everything else is complete conjecture. The game seems like it's been designed to punish bad play though, so I'm just going to try to not play badly. Also, I think Mafia mechanics if they exist will be built around punishing bad play as well. So stuff like lurker-vigs, claim-vigs, maybe stuff like that, but I'm going to stop now.

If people want my general thoughts on possible game mechanics, then I'll post them.

Secondly, my thoughts on Chezinu. I'm not going to policy lynch him unless someone can prove he's done something worth lynching him for. There's two possibilities as far as lynching him goes, because I don't see him actually giving up information when pressured.

1) We policy lynch him, and waste all of day 1.
2) We don't lynch him, and as the game goes on, he'll either get shot, or give up more information about himself. (Whether he means to or not).

Basically, I don't feel like lynching anyone only because they're useless. I want to lynch someone because they're scummy. Maybe they're scummy and useless, but that's just incidental.

Chezinu has the ability to contribute to the town, and so he doesn't make a good policy lynch. What we have to look for is if he's still around later in the game, and then at how he's playing. I don't see him exerting too much influence on the town, so as long as people are aware of him, and deal with him later if he remains unreadable or noncontributory, then I think we're good.

Next, BC said he's going to post:
Hasn't done so yet, though. I'll give him time, but I think we should pay close attention to players who are lurking. I've had games with BC, Foolishness, and FW where they just lurked as mafia all the way until day 3 or later with minimal contribution to the thread. If a player refuses to help, or contribute, then we should shoot/lynch them before they can make it too far along in the game. This goes for everyone.

Foolishness trolling -_-

Apparently we're not allowed to touch him because he is too good? I haven't seen any attempt from him to establish himself as a pro-town player. Where is the effort? :/

I find it strange that BC comes in and tells Palmar to step up his game considering he only has one post, while complaining about him discussing neutral topics. He just finished spending three paragraphs describing why RNG is worse than analysis. Of course it is. I was worried Palmar not really pushing his influence on the lynch at first, but he seems to have picked things up.

chaoser, would you mind explaining what you think GM is doing? And, GM what are you doing?

Finally.....

I'm also still willing to consider lynching Sheth if others are up for it.

No more apologies in future posts. k thx.
