I agree. It doesn't seem quite fair to lynch a player who joined so late.

I saw that one and I thought I answered it. Oops.

Probably me and Persus, since he's calm about everything and would be most likely to not act like he's on my scumteam. I'd want Tiruin to be the scum IC to prevent her from asking unfortunate questions about my actions. Having both out removes two skilled players from the town.

Mastahcheese: If you had to vote someone who wasn't me, who would you vote for and why?

Painiac: Why did you randomly vote for the guy who'd already be randomly voted twice at the time? I think that could be considered bandwagoning.

NAV, if there would be zero night phase, and if you could off someone - would you do it?
Not at this point. the probability of offing town is much higher than of offing scum, and I have don't have strong reads on anyone. Later in the game, I would off people if I thought I was on the losing side.

NAV, it's near the end of the day. Would you like to see Mastahcheese lynched?
He seems to be giving off a slightly scummy vibe to me. Because he is an outlier as the only one who hasn't voted, and he seemed to react negatively to being voted on. So yes.

Pufferfish: What is an unconventional tactic that could lead to success?

WhitiusOpus: Do you think player activity is a good way to judge whether someone is scum or not? Is this different between beginner and advance games?

Persus: Which player do you dread the most being on the opposite team from?

DarkStar: Tell me a mafia-related joke please.

MyOwnWorstenemy: Who would you investigate as a cop? Why?

Well, first off, I wouldn't want to vote you because I think it would suck to get lynched day 1 on your first game.
That said, Pufferfish, he hasn't been following up on his questions much, with the exception of when I pointed it out, at which point, he instantly became aggressive toward 4maskwolf, which was the target of the original question that I pointed out. It seems too much like someone jumping on an opportunity, rather than genuinely caring about getting their questions answered.

Well, I would like to say that it's the idea of being killed by a random vote that bothers me, it's the lack of thought put into it.
But whatevs. That's me.

Also, extend, there isn't enough activity for my liking.

Hey! You called for replacement, remember? That answer could have completely changed my read on TDS! Geez. [/false exasperation]

WhitiusOpus: Do you think player activity is a good way to judge whether someone is scum or not? Is this different between beginner and advance games?
Yes and no. In almost all mafia games, the highest poster is either a townie or third party. This is due to people wanting to find out scum, while the scum is usually responding and reacting. Except for a few cases, where the scum can false-lead the hunt, which is very unlikely. So generally speaking, the more active players are either really good scum, or town.

Yes, it's very different for BM games. As many people are playing for their first time, it's hard to judge their alignment based on post count. Then again, many new players who are scum, are more cautious and... Specific... In how and what they post, as well as post less.

A long day of prancing around is about to come to an end. But still the unicorns couldn't determine who was actually a horse.

"mastahcheese is a horse, of course of course!"

"No NAV is a horse, of course of course!"

"Why don't we not kill anyone?" one of the unicorns finally suggested.

Since they couldn't reach a decision they felt the only fair thing to do was to not kill anyone. And so everyone quietly found a patch of grass for themselves and lied down to rest, knowing danger is still nearby.

Final Votecount Day 1

(1) Pufferfish - mastahcheese
(1) TheDarkStar - WhitiusOpus
(2) MastahCheese - NAV, Painiac

The unicorns wake up in unison, each taking time to stretch and yawn and prepare for the new day. It doesn't take long for them to notice that TheDarkStar is no longer amongst them.

Cautiously, everyone snuck towards TheDarkStar's resting place. TheDarkStar lay on the ground with a huge fracture in his skull. His horn was crushed and his tongue hung out.

Soon insects will burrow through his body. There is not much you can do about that. But you must stop the horses from doing such a thing again!

TheDarkStar has been killed in the night. He was a vanilla townie.

Day 2 will end Tuesday April 8th at 9 PM PST.

Uh oh... this didn't quite work out:

Still bit short of time, but I'll be sure to be about to break any ties at the end of the day.

I should have calculated when exactly pacific time was rather than relying on ZU's hour counter:
Day ends in ~9 hours.

As it was, the day finished at 5AM NQT-time.

OK, on the brightside, we didn't lynch town on D1, on the downside, we didn't lynch scum either.

Cheese, Wolf, Whitius: you were the last players to vote near the deadline: why didn't you break the tie?

New players may not be aware, but it's seen as very good practice to lynch when possible, unless players are absolutely certain that they're heading towards a mislynch. The only way of defeating scum is to use the lynch.

What made you decide to unvote, Pufferfish?

NAV, MOWE, Paniac, Persus what do you think about DarkStar being town?

I never had occasion to get good read on him. And because we didn't done much, it's kinda hard to get info out of this NK. You can't get something out from interactions with victim, when interactions did not took place at all... Especially we didn't got lynch day before, bad thing. We really can't afford another no-lynch day now - or townie lynch, for that matter. Things will get grim, if we do.

The general unvoting causing the day to end in draw is basically our only clue. BECAUSE: when someone dies, we check who did what with such person. But opposite is also true: when someone does not die, we should check who did what to get draw. But that might not be machinations of scum/scum team, but just error on town part. Hard to say, without thorough look.
