I think at this crucial point in the game, it's imperative we lynch somebody. If we keep procrastinating we're only allowing the SK free rein to kill whomsoever he wants. I'd advise putting pressure on lurkers in an attempt to get some explanations out of them.

Hello, lurker.

Also, I think we're still making dreadful assumptions. We know that Xavius had a NK ability from his on-death role-reveal, and clearly someone else does too. Maybe we're dealing with plural killers? I find it hard to believe that a single person would use their power so willy-nilly, especially with the risk of investigation.

Just throwing out random thoughts, feel free to ignore the mafia noob.

As I have previously stated, I endeavor to visit this topic whenever I have access to a computer. I'm sorry that may be infrequently, but I hardly think I am lurking given the respective propensities of some other players.

Who thus far has the least posts?

That'd be Zetzu.

Then in the interests of at least scaring a little action out of him/her, I'm going to unvote and vote for Zetsu.

Might work, but at this rate I'll also ask Othero to give him a poke. Honestly, Zetsu isn't the only lurker. This whole game has been filled with massive lurking because everyone is frightened of speaking up, at risk of becoming a target for the collective lynch-train due to drawing attention to themselves. *sigh*

Well, that and getting any sort of a majority for lynch seems to be nigh impossible unless someone -does- come forward, which they're not going to do for the above reasons.

Not that these really mean a hill of beans for mafia ....

That is the current post rate. Zetsu and Romertien have the two lowest. Romertien already has one vote (mine) and Zetsu has zero. I find it a bit odd that Kira posted earlier that she goes after lurkers, but she voted for me instead. Kira also has one vote (Lorick I believe). I don't mind keeping the vote on Romertien for the lurky-ness and I don't mind switching my vote for Kira.

Hey, it's not my fault I'm bored at work. (Though it would seem that you're more bored than I am, if you went and made postcounts O_o)

And I think Kira posted that she was going after you for shady behaviour early on in the gameday, but later changed her mind and said going after a lurker atm would be a better idea.

Going after lurkers will not get us the nightkiller unless for some reason said lurker happened to be the first pick. Pretty much everyone I could suspect as a first pick is speaking up, meaning going after lurkers is just an easy way for the winning faction to close day. It's much harder to get votes on people who are talking than starting a train on someone who isn't.

At this point, however, what do we reasonably have to go on? Nobody is going to put themselves forward, and it's been singularly difficult to gain a majority on any one person, likely due to their affiliations. (Which they are likewise going to keep shrouded.) I am all for conservative playing, but I also believe Dugan had a point when he mentioned actually wanting to play a mafia game rather than endlessly procrastinate. (Albeit a point that could have waited a day or two to be made, but...) At this present rate, we are going to have one very happy killer and a lot of offed ronin.

And some happy ronin who were on the killer's team, most likely.

1. Sent out some pokes. If I get nothing back I'll put in replacements. If you're reading this feel free to send me a PM saying you'd like to be a replacement. I'll also see if my backups want to go in.

2. If momentum doesn't pick up I'm putting in a deadline. To help you all out I will tell you right now you're doing too much math. It is 100% possible that all of the Ronin who could be recruited have been. I'd suggest lynching over a no lynch.

I haven't had anything to add, really. I'm waiting for a good person to vote for, since there doesn't seem to be any real reason to lynch anybody.

Unvote.

Let the persuasion begin.

My vote's not down yet either. Someone persuade me.

I'll be a replacement!

And Dag has replaced Zetsu.

What are your thoughts on everything so far Dag?

I think that voting no lynch the first few days was a good idea. (sortof) I also think we have a SK. However, I ALSO think that all the leaders can kill off people the way Xavius could.

My theory about the SK is that we have a Ronin with a special win condition. While it makes sense that the SK would want to lynch people, I think Dugan putting himself out there as a minority would not be SK activity. So I suggest NOT lynching Dugan, however, I would like a claim from him so people can lay off.

I'm not sure who to suggest for a lynch however, because I think our SK is hanging below the radar.

Well, I will give a partial claim Dag.

1. I am not an SK. I have no kill abilities.
2. I am still just a ronin and have not been recruited.
