I have to head to work, so I'm going to hold my vote, for now.
But Rika is REALLY pushing the fact that she has a crappy role..which is suspicious to me.

No I'm not.

Err, to me, it just means that her special power that uses a chaos emerald isn't that useful to bother wasting one on. This doesn't indicate she's town or scum, either way, but it does warrant some suspicion for trying to clear herself so early.

Also, I have a -nagging- suspicion that Rhayni is actually Rouge, that one bat chick. Care to explain?

Vote: Rhayni

The forums keeps going weird, it has been the past day so if it seems like I'm having a bit of trouble getting replies out fast, I apologize!

Random.org rolled a Seven which is.. Furien, so Vote: Furien.

The colour thing always appear suspicious, but she could easily be one of the "good" female characters (I don't recall any of the males liking pink but it's been awhile since I've played any sonic). Or it could just be a sham like Shiri's one colour time that had nothing to do with his role.

As for the gems, weren't there only a certain amount? I think the number was 9 for some reason, can anyone clarify? I don't think anyone clarified what the chaos emeralds are, but from what I remember they were high energy sources that allowed a person to do amazing things and owning all of them for certain people (Shadow and Sonic) caused certain changes (Was it a gold and silver hedgehogs?) that made you like into a superhero type thing or something.

I don't like that Rika's said her power is weak, it may easily be she doesn't understand the type of situation it could be useful for or.. she's bluffing. I'd like a clarification of that at some point or another to back up her claims. Also announcing she has an emerald (does everyone have one or no?) seems a bit odd, considering their power and usefulness. But I may just be reading too much into that one because I don't know if everyone does or not, it just doesn't seem like something you'd really want to announce. I wonder, if not everyone does, if that it'd be a trap-like thing like lynching a jester and blowing everything up.

That's all the thoughts I have to offer right now!

Your role will tell you if you've got a power that uses a gem or not.

What I'm asking is, why the pink text? In fact, it's not even the same pink shade as Amy as some people are trying to hint. It's the same as Rouge. Rouge, I should also point out, has that whole 'femininity' thing going on. It would make sense to me that her posts be in that colour.

I'll look it up for sure, but I was told I have the number of emeralds wrong. Seven?

Oh, also before I forget, the last one I played had fake emeralds that were very weak versions of a real one.

I'm going to random vote Shaddus for now.

Also, I'm going to have to look up Sonic stuff because I've never played Sonic the Hedgehog. The emeralds are for powers? Or they give you powers?

If it says in your role that it requires a Chaos Emerald, then you need to use one for it. Like a reagent, basically.

Well, then, before I head to school I'll just leave this:

Rhayni spent ten minutes mingling on this forums, and then fifteen more in the post editor, before suddenly just vanishing entirely (and without a post). I'm probably 75% sure she's Rouge, right now. I'll see if something happens by the time I get home.

As this is my first Mafia game ever, I believe this random.org will be of great use to me. So, I suppose do the rolling and chancing and we end up with a magic number. And so, the first vote ever cast by these hands is Vote: Furien.

Well, running off to class now. I'll probably be back around 11:30am EST.

Fun... Votecount please!

Just a rough count but I think it's at...

Rika - 2 (Xavius, Ilyarin)
Xavius - 1 (Rika)
Ilyarin - 1 (Rhayni)
Casilu - 1 (Silvanus)
Rhayni - 3 (Celina, Furien, Silferras)
Furien - 2 (Diamondais, Salvation)
Shaddus - 1 (Noola)
