We desperately need Yeeny her womanly charms in this game. Cabbeh, you were pretty OK in impersonating her in the main thread, you want to try to fill in the gap?
Not gonna fixate on you because you want attention
You fishing for something brother?
Not really, no. I'm providing my guess to the group, I'll fucking slap any of you idiots if you role claim in any way right now.
Ugh, I was hoping to prod Blarg last, I don't know if I'm ready for whatever he's bringing.

I have a feeling he's absent because he's working something up.
Don't do that. It's not the same.
I'll take a small bet and say he shows up and acts like the straight man Blarg, no riddles, no nothing.
Who am I kidding?
If you're town, speculating about roles can only help mafia narrow their search down.
UNVOTE
Your scare tactic does nothing for me. Wild speculation does nothing for the scum. This game probably has a governor, lightning rod, roleblocker, commuter, investigator, jailer, serial killer, and some lovers to boot. Or none of those. Or some of those. Please, scum can try to read between the lines in my posts, it'll be a good waste of their time. I just thought it was interesting that Salva assumed NO investigator right away and I wanted to bring it up that he mentioned it.
I am a firm believer that a No lynch in the first night is always the best course of action. Did in the Animal Crossing mafia (We won) also did in the Danganronpa mafia even if that put me in a bad spot.
But for this particular case I feel there is something speci

I agree with the corgi that isn't even in the game.
(Continuing previous post).
I believe there is something special about this game, so I think lynching this time on day 1 might be a better course of action.
I also want to know what blarg has to say, people might dislike his playstyle but its telling on how people react to it, and I find it weird we have heard pretty much nada from him.
Vote: Blargonaut

scram, dog.
Wait, haly, you are not even in this game. This kinds of comments paint me in a bad light you should know that.
What are you even doing here?
Hmm, first you said that you would do a lynch(evict? line bump?) because there were less players, now it's because you think there is something special? I don't think this is worth prying at the moment but I smell something here.
I think its special because of this:
This got me thinking what exactly are we up against, short games mean either crazy amount of powers or very few very limited powers. This is why info is far more important than in a long game were the risk of getting a ordinary townie is higher. Here the odds of getting a town are lower when lynching, so for me it makes sense to start with a lynch.
Its both, take into account that while posting my response it posted before I was done, so I kind of lost my train of thought, lol.
Why is this? Smaller amount of players would probably mean less mafia members to balance it out, right?
Yes, but not in a direct distribution.
Also less people means less tries to lynch the mafia members.
I enjoy the philosophy of no lynch vs. lynch on day 1 so I have a question based on everything you've said so far. You feel that lynching day 1 is useless in the other type of GAF games because the chance of hitting an ordinary townie are high but then you also mentioned when you first brought this up that we can feel safe lynching because there is probably no investigator. Those ideas seem to go against each other because it sounded like your fear in no lynch was hitting something important by accident.
Gaaah, I tried to quote and somehow I edit it, sorry, let me post it as it was:
How are they against each other?
Normally when I am Pro lynch, is because I want the PR to get any information possible in the first day. In big games there is usually at least one detective and one other information gatherer of some kind and usually the chances of Mafia killing him in the first night are really low.
In small games, there is usually at best ONE Investigative role, 2 in PR crazy games, and for this is also possible we don´t even have one, but the game is short, so the chances we lynch him are not that important because mafia has a way better chance to get to him, we are more pressed for time, so the risk is worth it.
Of course there is always the fear of hitting someone important, but I am based more on the chances of mafia killing a important role on the first night.
I could go more into detail but I think I explained my reasoning in a comprehensible matter, I know is not the usual way to play (automatic lynch seems to be the norm), but it has worked for me.

Ah this makes more sense, your worry is more about what mafia does that night as opposed to what we do during the day. Got it. Thanks for your views Salva, I still disagree of course but that was probably the first time I've heard a good appeal for why someone is no lynch.
Back on topic, we need to hear from these folks. In retrospect, I probably should have thrown my vote on Retro or Prodigy because I find it more curious that they haven't posted. But what's done is done and I'm not letting a vote slide until I get some discussion out of it. Officially I am waiting for Goddamn
I'm just trying to get people off my case since I'm probably not gonna be at the gates today. I don't personally agree with early vote pressure, I think it's better to let people talk first before threatening to kill them. We certainly had the time in this day phase. Gives a lot of people excuses to not talk imo.
If nothing else, I've learned that people give themselves excuses not to talk and someone else needs to actually come along and give them reason to.

I'm going to gleefully watch this from the background
I just rechecked and prodigy his confirm post was actually 8 minutes before the start of the game, not even 30
Where you at buddy?
Hey, sorry. The wife decided to re-tile our shower today so that's been taking up my free time. Also, in general weekends are super busy for me. (Which is why ONUW runs mid-week.)
I agree on day 1 lynch, and I'll try to post reads later on. I'm always mildly suspicious of Sorian, though, just because it's so easy to assume that he is town.

Cheers and same to you. I always welcome all suspicions though. We don't get anywhere unless he are at each other's throats.

I don't think we're going to get much of anywhere today, tbh. Nobody wants to play their hands day 1. I'll be around, but I won't respond to anything unless I see there's something I can do or say.
Day 1 is very important for setting the framework for future days, I know that you know this.

I'm not used to playing mafia on weekends but I'll try to be more active over the next couple days.
