trentonlf: Considering the fact that we have just a little over two days before the Day ends I suggest people
VOTE who they most suspect right now so we can get a better understanding of where things stand. Waiting till the last minute and then just voting to avoid a no lynch gets us
NOWHERE info wise.
Agreed.
That said I don't suspect many atm due to it being early on and also not watching the game as closely due to IRL(more on this near the end of my post in the "to all" bits).
============================================================
gogtrial34987: (There seems to be an unusually high percentage of people not reading carefully in this game.)
Could be in good part due to the IRL situation hitting a bunch of people.....the last game ended just as that was starting to affect more and more people, and this one is taking place during it.
============================================================
Carradice: Would ask for a group hug but, you know, distance (2 m, 6 feet, whatever you prefer). Peace.
We could all get tested and wear gloves/masks, or give e-hugs. o.0 :D
============================================================
ZFR: I was trying to see who would berate me for revealing I had a role. And who, if any, would be the third person to jump on my wagon.
None of these happened. The only reaction was you saying you think I'm scum and placing a first vote on me which you later removed. I guess everyone thought I was joking?
I thought you might be joking....I also didn't want to call attention too much to it if you were serious.
============================================================
trentonlf: I can't get on board with this, IMO anyone is fair game Day 1. I am a believer of the tough love when it comes to Mafia games, hand holding makes for players who develop bad habits. Not only am I fan of tough love but we have 3 people who have never played a game on GOG, exempting them from being a possible lynch on Day 1 means 25% of the player base gets a free pass for today, not very fair I would say to the rest of the players.
And I say we stick to the "fair" policy of letting them have 1 "day" when new.....if everyone gets that when newbies, that seems more than fair(also it helps encourage them to play more games in the future in some cases). :)

Lifthrasil: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time is marching on. Accusations fly back and forth. 'You're too eager to throw someone out!' - 'Nah, you're not eager enough. Don't you want us safe?' Some consider if it weren't better to sleep in the same room. But wouln't that allow the killer or killers to kill all of you at once? Wouldn't that make you all easy targets for what else the ghosts in the hotel might throw at you? Just as you consider the possibility, you see the room on fire. Only a moment, then it's gone. But it has you retching from the lingering smell of smoke. Only and illusion! Just an illusion! So you tell yourself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Clip is YT video with sound.....also a great game[albeit hard as balls sometimes] btw) =============================================================
zazak09: @Lift should replace Genocide because he's clearly not interested in what's going on. If we're going to policy lynch anyone, it should be GameRager. He posts a lot , but contributes almost nothing of substance.
Suggesting OP replace players because they don't post much? Really?
This isn't like "normal" mafia games....here we're more laid back/lenient and have more fun with it than other places.
(
I agree genocide might need to be prodded a bit, though, if they fall behind in posting)
=============================================================
trentonlf: Right now the votes are all over the place with no consensus as to who most want to lynch. If we continue this way there will be no time for any good discussion about the lynch with reasoning behind it and, as seems to be the norm, at the last minute a rush of votes will come in for someone with no real reasoning behind them except for "I am voting them to avoid a no lynch"
The thing is, I don't suspect anyone much at this point....so at least in my case it'd have to be "vote to avoid a no lynch".
I was waiting to see if someone caught my eye, but you're right. I will check wagons and prior posts and likely cast a vote in the next several hours....hopefully it'll be a good one.
=============================================================
Carradice: Will check later who is lynched. If self, then at least one worry less. Will even self-vote if required, so that you can move on (but still you will lose a good chance of hitting scum). Really tired of replying to Pooka on the same issue. Really. It was too much and you know it.
I do hope you're not getting burnt out due to Pooka/anyone else's posts combined with IRL. You post some interesting posts sometimes and it would be a shame to see you go so soon.
As such, I am leaning you slightly more town because of this post(could be a clever scum gambit, but I don't think it likely is).
==============================================================
PookaMustard: Carradice, the way I see it, you're feeling pinned and also feel everyone is on to your game. You're even offering to self-vote, and that is never good for Town! (Source: yours truly learned that the hard way). This is because the self-voter - who will reveal their role and alignment once lynched - takes the place of a potential voter who we can analyze the next day! And with your impressive last game, self-voting is inexcusable. But eh. You hit the self-destruct button already. It's just a matter of time now.
Is there a reason you're piling on Carradice so much, then? :|
I know tensions are high in such games(and especially with what's going on in the world), so shouldn't we try to dial our "poking and prodding" back a bit when people seem a bit as Carradice did in the post you quoted?
===============================================================
ZFR: So, no one else finds zazak's asking me earlier to claim strange?
If his wagon is not going anywhere I might change to Genocide.
I'll give this a couple of more hours. Would love to hear from Genocide first and hear from Joe and Gamerager about who are they voting.
My list, sadly, is very lackluster(due to IRL and such)....
my list: That and the "backseat modding"/other posts on similar make me put zazak slightly up on the list, along with Pooka (a bit less than zazak but still on the list) for the constant focusing on Carradice, and maybe the super lurkers like genocide(though I do want to give them another day out of fairness).
Dunno where to place Carradice....he likely is burnt out on the game a bit, but it could also be a clever scum gambit.
===============================================================
To ALL: Sorry for being gone so long.....my one poor cat died yesterday and I had to make arrangements while having to be mindful of Covid.....so sorry for the delays.
That said, I will be voting in a few hours once I collect my thoughts/check the wagons. Have a good one, all.
