I need to look over everyone to adjust my vote accordingly.  My internet is very bad today.  I'm just sitting here waiting for posts to load. 

alamoes: How much mafia experience do you have? Do you feel confident about your chances of winning.   

It is my first internet mafia game *ever*.  I believe that I will be executed fairly soon. 

[Vector]

Perhaps, but what does your execution have to do with the victory of your team?

[Leafsnail]

Leafsnail, following up on your question to Imperial, my non-exhaustive evidence from the games I've played in shows that scum almost always employ some kind of distancing (by random voting one another or FOSing throughout the game), but often that distancing is asymmetric: Scum A will vote for Scum B who will vote for Scum C but not Scum A. This was certainly a pattern town could have seen in the mason game if they'd bothered to look. Are there any more obvious signs of distancing?

This is all valid but why are you answering Imperial Guardsman's question for him?

Vote:freshmaniscoolman

dodging questions, suspicious, etc

i really think he might be scum.

And why aren't you answering your questions for you??

Vector: Please spoiler it.

Imperial: I can see you got my point. Unvote. Now tell me, if you were scum, which of the other players would you want on your team?

Zrk2: I actually think the way we've been handling the newblets has been very gentle, at least so far.

If Dariush was in this game, I'd ask him which of the newbies he'd expect to get to lynched first.

Freshman: That's understandable. At the start of every game, we have nothing to go on, so we have to make something. Reason being, why would anyone have any motive to post anything at all?

Over at mafiascum.net, the convention is to start off the game with a night 0, so there's something to talk about on the first day. Over here at bay12, we don't see the point of killing off a player before they have a chance to play, so instead we choose to start off with nothing and put the onus on us to be more creative.

You can really do anything during the start of the game. I tend to just ask whatever's on my mind. Just don't do nothing.

The Soldier: No, not really.

Also, if you haven't read the item list yourself, it's kind of hypocritical to expect it of someone else.

PPE: Lots of people

I don't think the town would miss me much, considering that I'm a noob.

Don't be so down on yourself, stranger!

[alamoes]

First question. 

Freshmaniscoolman: I just ate a banana.  Do you think brains taste like bananas?

Captain Ford: Did you read the item list?  If you had one scroll of revive, who would you use it on?

[Captain Ford]

Captain Ford: Did you read the item list?  If you had one scroll of revive, who would you use it on?

I can't find that item on the list. Where did you find it?

NQT:

Incidentally, I know this is the RVS, but you do realise that you're the third person to 'randomly' vote me (with none of them unvoting). How many votes would I need on me in the RVS before I start throwing around accusations of bandwagoning?

I don't count votes during RVS.

Freshmaniscoolman:

why do you think it's best to pressure just one target at a time? Don't you risk scum slipping by that way?

Because I can't pressure 2 targets at a time, impossible.

Really? I do it all the time. What's so hard about it?

Leafsnail:

Imperial Guardsman: Did you know that going out of your way to not look scummy is itself scummy?

This is a pretty softball question!

Especially when taken by itself!

(psst - look at his post right here)

alamoes:
You do realize that you're now voting yourself, right?

Also, what did your question to Freshmaniscoolman have to do with anything?

Imperial Guardsman:

ImperialGuardsman: How are you going to take care of the opposition?

Work with the town like a good townie.

dont die.

simple as that.

Okay, how are you going to work with the town? I mean, you aren't exactly questioning anyone.

[Captain Ford]

Alamoes: Please don't tell me you just asked about one of the items in your inventory.

[The Soldier]

Ford: I'm confused. Where did you get the idea that I didn't read the item list?

Also, unvote alamoes since he answered. You know you can still win when you're dead, right?

freshman until he answers.

[Captain Ford]

The Soldier: Oh wow. I left that in there? Sorry. I guess I got interrupted in writing the post and forgot about that part.

I probably would have edited that to say something more like "that's a big homework assignment for one question" if I'd remembered to edit it.

[Zrk2]

Zrk2: I actually think the way we've been handling the newblets has been very gentle, at least so far.

Fair enough. I thought we had the beginnings of a bandwagon on our hands, and did what I could to avert it.

I'm going out now, and likely won't be back for four hours, and even then I might not have time for a post before bed. Don't do anything too stupid while I'm gone.

[Leafsnail]

Especially when taken by itself!

(psst - look at his post right here)

I did see his post.  That's why I'm saying it's a softball question.

For the question:I just felt obligated to ask some random question about something to some random guy.  It seems to be what everyone is doing, but I don't have many good questions. 

I'm pretty sure I'm sure I'm not voting for myself though.  I'll unvote the soldier, solving both issues.  Freshman because he is the guy targeted by the most.  I'll probably change it later though. 

Ford: I'm confused. Where did you get the idea that I didn't read the item list?

I know that I can win when I'm dead, but it would be no fun if I'm out on the first day.
