something mafia [INNOCENTS WIN]

Not necessarily. It depends on the person running the game. I personally randomize all actions that I don't get sent in, but several GMs just have nothing happen.

The mafia are (almost) always an exception. They HAVE to kill each night, to the extent that I've been forced to commit suicide before in order to not lose a game. If they could not kill someone simply by not sending in a night action, that would be the equivalent of being able to abstain explicitly (which is what I suggested in the first place).
 
Re: something mafia [Day 1]

Hmm... It seems that a lot of games that I have seen recently have no kills Night Zero. Maybe this game has Bulletproof or something else that keeps someone from dying.
 
Re: something mafia [Day 1]

First day sucks. I think that we should honestly hold off on a lynch. I've never really thought first day lynches are very effective unless we actually have a lead.

Lynches are good in general. Gives us an idea on who's scum and who's not, and we might even be lucky enough to lynch mafia.

I personally agree.

Abstain, I guess. Unless something drastic comes up.

When there isn't a chance of an alien, lynching at all is usually if not always better than abstaining. If we abstain, one more innocent dies from a Mafia kill the next day (barring healer, bulletproof, etc.). But if we lynch, we have at least a chance of getting a Mafia in the bargain.

But if we lynch and miss, two more innocents will be dead by tomorrow morning. We must always balance the odds of killing mafia against the odds of killing innocents, and I think currently the scales tip heavily in favour of the latter.
 
Re: something mafia [Day 1]

That's true. I believe it would be good to abstain, and maybe tomorrow we can get up off the ground.
 
Re: something mafia [Day 1]

I am lost because I keep confusing up my roles so I planned a few night actions out ahead for nothing...
 
Re: something mafia [Day 1]

After a lengthy discussion and several pro-lynch assertions, no actual accusations are made; therefore as the sun sets and everyone returns home, the town are no closer to killing off any mafia.

Nobody was lynched.
48 hours for night actions.
 
Re: something mafia [night 1]

Well it's good that nobody died, I guess, but it's bad that now we still don't have any leads. Let me be the first to say that I don't want to let a game flounder into a happily ever after game.

I still like the idea of randylynching or inactivelynching unless somebody comes forward with an actual hunch/evidence/etc.
 
Re: something mafia [night 1]

Day 2

*insert flavour here*

Nobody died last night.
48 hours for discussion.

Re: something mafia [day 2]

Waitaminute huh how did that post get up there? Did I post during the night thinking it was day? *sweat drop*

hurr durr

My happily ever after point (well, really the whole post) still stands now that it's actually day and we have no kill.
 
Re: something mafia [day 2]

That's right, so hopefully we don't get a happily ever after.

We could go for inactive, like...Escavalier?
 
Re: something mafia [day 2]

What's wrong with living happily ever after? Why must everyone be bloodthirsty :(
 
Re: something mafia [day 2]

Happily ever after is boooring. Bloodthirsty is the lynching spirit!

Really though, happily ever after is boring.
 
Re: something mafia [day 2]

I think what might have happened is the mafia hit someone who was healed, and then the doctor healed the same person and the mafia tried again in case of alien? that's happened often in #mafia to me, anyway.

anyway I have an information role but it's currently useless soo :B
 
Re: something mafia [day 2]

Yeah, but there are (apparently) no aliens in this game, so why would the mafia target the same person again?
