Knew I should have asked for the definition of Noon.  Now I know.

Howdy folks, let's have some fun.  Too bad that nasty Nightmare has put a bit of a ticking clock on the party.

KittyTac, haven't played a mafia game with you before, what do you think is the best vote strategy to out the Nightmare?

So it's super important all the friends are clear on the rules so we have the best shot at this:

- If we dither for too long, the nightmare will kill us all eventually. With 6 players we should have 4 days until we auto-lose
- Putting the votes in hammer range is really dangerous if we haven't figured out the nightmare because if they've figured out the dreamer we all lose

TricMagic, you clear on all that?

Only three posts so far? Get in gear, friends.

Casting votes is dangerous but I'm going to play with fire and vote for EuchreJack because 'that nasty Nightmare' sounds like something the Nightmare would say to blend in.

Bleh, busy day - right, let's get into this.

Putting my beans on NQT. Jumping on the guy who you're taking information from seems like a Nightmare tactic - take the people out who're active/able to base a plan.

But I won't vote yet - bad idea for a micro-setup like this.. but time's ticking.

NQT - Any comment?
EuchreJack - We've started on a Tuesday - you think we're still screwed?
Jim - Jumping on someone for wordplay is jumping at straws - isn't that also a scumtell?

No, because everything I do is automatically a towntell.

I actually like the panic in this post, blaming me not withstanding.

Except this is a scumtell.

EuchreJack - We've started on a Tuesday - you think we're still screwed?
Yes, even though the actual game start occurred on Wednesday.  Slight chance of a rally on Friday, although only 4 members left later in the day.  Insufficient time to discuss.  I mean, look how few posts we have so far.  Two players might not even get a chance to post before the first elimination.

You have misread me.

You have misread me again.

I'm ever so slightly more confident that you're actually the Nightmare now.

Pray tell, what percentage chance would you place on my being the Nightmare?

If somebody else had asked me that I would have said between 20% to 33% but since you did I have to up the percentages.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I'd say 57.142857142857142857142857142857142857142857142857142857% and not a bit more.

Oh right.  When you round the repeating number, it's the "1" that got cut off, not the 7.  So you rounded correctly, my bad.

notquitethere, you say that it is super important that all the friends are clear on the rules, and yet you understate the severity of the situation.

We DON'T have 4 days until we auto-lose.  On Day 3, both the Nightmare and Dreamer know that getting fingered by the remaining Friend means death, so they'll likely push if the other one is being voted.  Day 3 is pretty awful.  Plus, the Nightmare gets their attempt to kill leading up to that day.  We DON'T have 4 days...

"Putting the votes in hammer range is really dangerous if we haven't figured out the nightmare because if they've figured out the dreamer we all lose"
This works both ways, you know?  Its as much a threat for the Nightmare as it is for the Dreamer, all around.  Why don't you want us to put the vote within hammer range?

I'm still a little unclear on this one.  Would you mind rephrasing that accusation?

Also, please vote.  It would clear up some things.

Just noticed the game started. I usually play on MS but I have a... decent amount of experience.

We have only one shot so it's best that we do not put anyone even near majority until we are sure they are the Nightmare to be sure. No associative tells because this is a solo-scum thing.
