Wow, this game started and it's not even February. Who could have guessed.

Okay, so how are we going to make this work? I think for starters, everyone should post their ideas of strategy. We could either lynch someone inactive under the assumption that the mafia isn't very good, randomly lynch and hope for luck or vote no lynch and wait for some evidence to pop up. Now, someone MIGHT say something incriminating on the first day, but I doubt it, so how do you guys want to play this?
No, no, no. All wrong. All three proposals are horribly wrong. Lynch All Lurkers (the first variant) works very rarely and never on the first day. Random lynch is just plain stupid and is something that shouldn't be even thought about outside of the horrid fuckden that is Epicmafia. No lynch works only on MYLO and in any case there's absolutely nothing that can happen during the night (well, apart from the cop inspection) that can reasonably help town find scum. So yeah, Jim's proposal is the way to go (not to mention standard procedure).

Tiruin, whom from the present (apart from the ICs) would you prefer as your scumbuddy, if you were scum, and why?

Andrew, whom from the present (apart from the ICs) would you fear most as scumteam, if you were town, and why?

Ansontan: If you were a doctor, how would you decide on whom you would protect each night?

Depends, if someone said something suspicious or much of the suspicion was on an active player, I'd investigate him, otherwise I'd stick with inactives.

Webadict, may I be added to the replacement queue? I ask this tentatively because I am in Spain at the moment, and my availability depends on the chance that I fly home within the next few days.

EDIT: And even if it is not immediate, I can still poke in daily at about this time, under good circumstances. Sorry for editing, by the way. (I am not playing, so it is sort of a grey area.)

Thus far I have recorded a grand total of zero fucks given about a non-player editing posts.

So I take it you have mafia experience.

How extensive is it?

I understood nothing, contributed nothing, but still got to win, so good game everybody else.

Minimal. I played part of one small game and read a few others. I understand the basics, but very little of the finer points.

I plan on deducing who is scum and then helping lynch them.

Andrew45 why so interested in my current strategy?, rather than a hypothetical one?  That seems a little scummy to me.

Question, Why is everyone putting people in red? Isn't that voting to lynch someone? Why would you do that now? I know we're supposed to be aggressive, but if I voted for someone who was already voted for, couldn't the two mafia potentially vote for him and lynch a townie?

In this particular game, no, as Beginner's Mafia does not have hammers. Also, it would reveal the identity of the scum to do this, so it's not usually a good idea unless they can win immediately afterward.
