I actually have a setup question.

Is the game going to have set, known blue roles, or is it going to be variable in some way? Because whatever system they used to determine roles in the newbie mafia games I played in was confusing as fuck.

Ew, I really don't like the Miller role. Adds a weird dynamic to the Cop role.

Edit: Although I like the version of Innocent Child in this game instead of it just being announced at the beginning of the game.

I'd strongly prefer questions be sent over PM once the game is underway, though.

€: if the answer is relevant to everyone I'll post it in thread either way, and if it isn't I'll pm either way.

Hmm I like the open questions because you can glean some stuff about people's alignments depending on what they ask. If you post the question will you reveal who asked it? Because I think that's important.

that's kind of why i dont want them in the thread >.>

I personally don't like it in this game because when I played newbie games it was hard enough to convince people I was town when I actually was and having a cop ID me as mafia would make it even harder haha.

Haha interesting that we disagree there. But maybe since it's a newbie game it would be better for people to have free reign when it comes to asking question. Wonder what Wave thinks.

I mean basically whatever team gets Wave wins, hue.

If that's how you feel about 'meta' reads I'm fine with questions not being asked in this thread.

Ah I didn't know you have that much experience. Wave was always the one talking mafia up.

Yeah pretty much. A lot of meta discussion happens, at least in the newbie games I've played.

Real life always has a way of kicking my ass whenever I decide to play mafia. Got caught up in the Homecoming weekend festivities and haven't really been on the Internet at all the past 18 hours. Haven't even been lurking as I haven't even read any posts since the game started. Clearly I have a lot to catch up on. I'm even writing this during my work shift because I'm supposed to be meeting my dad right after this finishes. That said, as soon as I get a decent amount of free time I'm gonna catch up on the thread and post my thoughts. Figured I'd check in so you guys at least didn't have to worry about me getting modkilled.

Alright, I'm gonna do something unpopular now but I don't really feel comfortable doing anything else
##Vote: No-lynch

I've been busy pretty much all weekend with my Homecoming so I haven't even been able to read the entire thread. Also I thought I worked at 4 so I was going to read it in the morning but apparently I worked from 10-4 so now I'm stuck here till the lynch deadline. I don't feel comfortable calling for a lynch when I don't feel like I've had enough time to read and try to figure out motives. I realize this doesn't help the town very much but making baseless accusations isn't going to help either. Tolkien isn't wrong that I haven't helped much, but I'm actually going to have free time tomorrow and will be able to contribute. You guys only have my word now but that's the best I can give.

I'm in the process of catching up on the thread now. Making progress but not sure if I'm gonna have anything useful to post tonight. Although I don't really want to waste a lot of time coming up with a theory or read that might just invalidated with the night kill. Just depends on if anything really blatant stands out.
