Welcome to Gaia! ::

She did have that one post in the information thread back on Tuesday. It sounded like she was confused about whether we had started or not (we had). Maybe she didn't see that we were playing in a different thread from the sticky one with the info?

Umm.. yeah, the clue is to start conversation as well as pointing you in a direction of someone. And it's filling both purposes now, too. ^^

I don't know about other Mafia games, but it wasn't against the rules Ceribri listed, so I figured it was legit. Depending on how this first game goes, it may turn out that it does make identifying the Mafia too easy (though we won't know until this game finishes). Ultimately, I think revealing should be an option, though the value of this could be reduced by the moderator by either (1) making sure that not all the obvious major characters are assigned, so the Mafia have roles left to fake (and who knows, maybe that's exactly what Ceribri did), or (2) make it so that everyone knows which characters correspond to special roles (doctor, police, etc.), so that if you DO choose to reveal yourself, it carries the penalty of making public who the special characters are.

But we should probably hold off discussing if the rules need to be tweaked until after this one finishes. In the meantime, we should just try to enjoy the current game for what it is. Preferably by winning. pirate


What you're saying is true... just because someone casts suspicion on someone else early on doesn't mean that they're Mafia. And I admit that my suggesting we shouldn't immediately go with a 'no lynch' on day 1 seems suspicious. However, I had a rationale for that: if we don't even attempt to try and find a mafia on day 1, we'd be no closer on day 2 unless the town cop(s) discovered someone and came forward the next day, essentially giving the Mafia a free kill. If I'd thought about revealing identities earlier, I probably would have suggested it right from the start.

Ultimately, I decided against saying all that before because I figured that if I was too vocal about strategy early on, I'd be killed off immediately. Also, I didn't think I could talk everyone out of a 'no lynch' when obviously we had so little to go on about who was guilty, and going against the prevailing opinion would instantly make people wonder, so I backed off. Apparently didn't work, though, since many people still have their doubts about me.

I'm probably next up for a nightkill, because I'm the Brigadier, and so I'm the one most likely to be a cop I guess.
My suspicion is shifting around like an uncomfortable, greasy pig. On Ice!
It has now settled on Touch My Seizure...though I can't say why.

Oh, geez. I'll try, but Ceribri might help out a bit. Check page 7 for the two attempts to start a lynch.

Roobarb's been killed (she was the Face of Boe), but no one was lynched yesterday... Oh, and we've all been revealing which character we are, but (it should never be this obvious!) I think you're beyond suspicion of being Mafia since you weren't around and there was a Nightkill anyway.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to vote for the lynch... I don't trust any of you guys! Except Samurai.

I'm not suspicions! D:

But you know, being the Brigadier might not mean you are the cop. BUT! They was you yourself suggested that you might be could be a double bluff! You could be saying that to make people think that you aren't, because it's be silly to say you are, but in actual fact you ARE the cop!

Wait...what? I just confused myself... @3@

I should stop thinking so hard DX

I think it would be too obvious is the Doctor was a cop or doc. Or maybe it's so obvious, that it's a good idea? Hmmm
