Hmm... I'm going to have to put in a quick post here to say I'm still paying attention - I'd like to come up with a longer post as I know once again I'm being rather quiet, but I've got a Statistics assessed lab to be ready for. I should have some time tomorrow afternoon to post, but will then be away again for the evening.

For now, I'm going to unvote Detlik, as now that I look at the Hammerer description again it appears that I've slightly misinterpreted the role as the Hammerer does, in fact, have a normal vote displayed as well, which puts a rather large hole in my theory that was already rather shaky with the whole "wrong side's softclaim" business that Detlik himself mentioned.
Wow. This game of Mafia is really running into some major issues. :(

None of them seem to be Damn's fault, though.
No, it seems to be due to a lack of risk taking - I went with an unsure bet for now - instead of all this walking in place not really doing much approach that is present.

Tell me about it - twice now i've tried to start stuff off only for it to be squashed mercilessly by apathy...
Yes I mentioned it before. It's because we ignore causes of other people. When someone gets into conflict if another person rest of us usually just ignores it and cares either about nothing or about their own conflicts. I am not talking about taking sides outright but at least commenting on it if you think it's good or not. It applies to me too but I tried to remedy this with NFY/Red_baron argument but it more turned into NFY/me argument.

A few folks are pushing to lynch Damuna though - wasn't this your original case of "starting stuff"? How come you're not voting for her?
I'm beginning to wonder more and more about Vitek's comment on "similarity to the Crazybear lynch". As I see it from reading over game #10, Crazybear was lynched for being inactive over someone who was the clear "most suspicious player", but here we have a case where the player who's got votes for acting suspiciously is also the one not saying anything. I'd say it would put his "let's lynch SirPrimalForm instead for not really saying much" approach in an interesting light if anybody had really started to build upon it. I have to note, however, that TwilightBard may be trying much the same thing with Rodzaju, and in that case it could be me not using a clear enough definition between "lurker" and "totally absent".

All in all, though, I do like that we have people starting to take sides on the "defend Damuna due to being unlikely to get information" and "lynch Damuna for being suspicious initially and then disappearing", as this does, in fact, give us some information to work with if it does come down to Damuna's lynch - patterns of who supported the lynch and who were set against it still provide us with some suggestion of what side people might be on if Damuna's alignment is revealed.

Still, as it's now stated that no replacement seems to be forthcoming, I'm a little uncertain about putting my vote back on Damuna right now, as the further factor I'm thinking of is that the idea of someone going without a chance for an emergency claim carries with it its own risks. However, as the deadline draws near and we have to do something (and contemplating claims is tricky once time is running out anyway), I'm going to do it. Vote Damuna.

...Blast, after my second paragraph I feel the third one really comes across as preparing for the possible backlash of that vote on a re-read, but I've been reviewing this for an hour and a half now, so it's time to post.
OK, it looks like Damuna is going to be the lynch.
Personally I would much rather she show up with a claim, but I'm not convinced that's likely.
In the interest of getting SOMETHING happening, Vote Damuna.
I believe that puts her at L-1.
If anything else builds in the next 36 hours, I MAY consider changing, but it will do for now.

NotFrenchYet: A few folks are pushing to lynch Damuna though - wasn't this your original case of "starting stuff"? How come you're not voting for her?
Because it was more to start discussion than actually full belief she was scum - i was over the top in my attack deliberately. I have said this since - my vote for Jefe was more because he sought to be negative about any discussion rather than attempting to put any pressure on anyone.

Which is what troubles me here. We have Damuna at L-1, but not here to defend herself - ie theres no pressure. Mafia will be well happy this lynch has formed, as we gain feck all information from putting this pressure on.

I know this is all pretty moot as one of the absentees will be modkilled anyway, so its pretty inevitable.... I just get the horrible feeling Mafia have had an ideal first day.

Robbeasy: Snip.
For once, I agree completely. I have no intention of providing the hammer vote on this bandwagon as I don't agree with it at all.

Vitek, Rodzaju or pazzer would be my preferred choice for a lynch. Failing that, I could come around to voting for SirPrimalform or Red_Baron who have both come out with scummy posts recently.

Not at all, she "only" has 5 votes out of 9 needed.

So apparently putting pressure on your doesn't count?

You're using a double standard. You complain that nobody is discussing things and that everyone has ignored your posts, but then claim that my discussion about you and my replies are obvious scumtells, simply because I'm suspicious (more than suspicious) of how you're acting. So discussion is apparently fine, unless it 's about you, in which case it's a scumtell. And it's absolutely ridiculous to claim that I'm being "negative about any discussion." I haven't been negative about discussions in the slightest. I've been negative about your behavior--and nitpicking people's behavior is precisely what you've been asking everyone to do.

About Damuna... I can see good points on both sides. My gut reaction is to just lynch her, but I'm not really certain about that. Not certain enough to change my vote, anyway.

Ooops!!
I read 3 votes, or rather misread as L-3......

jefequeso: So apparently putting pressure on your doesn't count? /snip
I'm with Jefequeso here. Also because as Vitek pointed out there is more than one way to start and continue discussion, such as commenting on other people's cases, rather than making a grand, over-the-top entrance and subsequently dropping the case when it did get some reaction, from the target no less. Anyway, if you really didn't think Damuna was scum, why were you bothered about the lack of reaction?

Confusing first day... mafia at work there making things tangled.

I think you were counting from one of Damnation's older, since corrected posts, to tell the truth. :)
