Ah, I see.

I'll change my vote once there is more to work on as well.

I hate having the hiccups.

Normally, I'd random vote or vote no lynch or something like that, but...

Thul is usually a lot more aggresive come Mafia-time. Maybe he's being cautious (or maybe it's day one, I do not know!).

Vote: Thul

I only did the "lynch X for bad playing" once, and that was on Arix, and that was a good few games ago. His play has improved considerably since then and in the last game we were in together I did no such similar thing. I don't think the same really applies to Daganev; he's active and even if he's often contrary just for the sake of being contrary, unlike Arix used to he does ninjalynch randomly and is generally not a liability in the way that Arix used to be. I'm not sure if EEM saw that play against Arix and decided to copy it or just came up with it independently.

I get aggressive when I'm ready to lynch someone, but that generally requires something resembling solid information. We're still in the "well, he did this last game" stage, and I think we've still waiting on a few people to stick their heads in. I'll start my usual analysis and rampant speculation about game structure once I've got someone else's claim to look at.

Are there 20 Elders in canon to play with, without having to dive really deep into the Histories? With this number of people, there'll be at least two scum groups for sure, and I've got some ideas as to what those'll be. Anyone know Rika well enough to say whether she'd toss in something to screw over a mass roleclaim?

I see the thread's gaining in length. I still refuse to unvote my current suspect until I get a more solid impression of you all. And I like Thul's analyzing.

@Thul: I thought only 4 are scum, meaning 16 are town? Wouldn't that make it a bit divided for 2 groups?

Also I'm going to:

Unvote: okieSakana

Vote: Revan

Truth be told, I'm currently torn between Daganev and Revan. Daganev because his first few posts were overly defensive (not that I'm really trying to make sense of his style of arguing anymore, but the defensive part came over just fine) and Revan because of his auto-generated crap and in generally being very quick about accusing someone else based on no real facts (and makeing an effing way too long post).

(And now I'm off to bed. nya)

I'm fairly certain that Rika delved into the histories.

And I doubt she thought about mass roleclaims.

I'm off to bed soon as well.

Okay, I'm awake now. Hoooooly crap that's a lot of pages. It looks like people are going after Daganev, Is he being hostile again? And Yeah, Shamarah really only went after me because I was a dipshit the game before (though it WAS my first game. keep that in mind, you new people, we have high standards) I'm going to UNVOTE: SHIRI for now, since it was mostly to get the conversation going. Now don't bother me, I have several pages to slog through, kthxbai

I'm off for awhile, gotta go run errands

So who hasn't posted yet?

Side note: I like how Daganev votes me for "using being helpful as a cover in other games" then defends himself (and has Shayle helping for some reason) vis. how he's going to qq if we use his tendencies from other games.

I actually almost mentioned the small bandwagon that was starting on you, since I like how much you post in mafia games, and how I'd hate to see you offed so soon in my last post, but didn't really feel like my personal feelings about every player was really going to add much to the conversation.

I've got nothing, I'm afraid, but some leftover trust issues with Lorick, who had me totally fooled in the Carebear game.

The main focus of my post was on Daganev's reaction there rather than your surprising defence of him, but yeah.

As for Lorick...heh. I don't think he's impossible to get a read on now that I've seen him in a few games, maybe go back and retrace your steps on the parts he confused you with or something.

Yeah, I really stumbled into that win. Course, if it wasn't me, it would of been Arix you would of been dealing with in that game. The town by that point was pretty much picked off decently.

That, and I have the odd ability to pick out power roles with kills. Weird.

I wasn't "defending" myself, I was asking a serious question.

If we are going to play "Popularity: Elder wars Redux" I'd rather let Archer2 play instead of me.

Was okieSakana being "fishy" or was he being the god that splintered into merians?

Heh, so if you our doctor dies the first night, we know who to lynch the next day?

Sakana is japenese I think for fish, so it was a joke. Heh, you take things so seriously.
