You have gathered here in the Town Hall on the morning after the fact.

I am Thriftweed, the host of this game and late leader of this town. Your purpose here today is to avenge my death. I expect you to be vigilant in your search for those responsible and brutal in your manner of punishment.

Those of you who call yourself 'Mafia'--prepare to die.

It is currently Day 1

With 18 alive, it takes 9 to lynch.

Night actors, PM me your actions at any time. You may change your targets whenever you'd like.

i'm writing a book, are any of your dads the heads of a publishing house?

incredibly low fidelity

I'm impressed with your dedication and creative writing.

To celebrate, let's start this off:

vote: Tell Me Again

hey

i spy on you too

I feel like we would have been more successful last game had we gone with my nolynch option, and that ultimately no one gained anything by "analyzing votes" considering we failed to successfully vote even one mafia successfully.

That said, I also learned quite clearly that opposition to this idea doesn't imply that you are mafia, so I'll be making no such claims and won't be attempting to muscle my fellow townies into this option. I'll start by saying I still support nolynch night one, but as i said in the other game, i'd do things differently. We shouldn't reveal the cop unless forced to do so.

I can't post as often right now because I'm working on a website and it's very time consuming, but I will still probably be close to as active as last time.

As helpful as it would be to nail a Mafia in day1 the odds are slim.

Id rather hold a vote, killing neither mafia or innocent than to kill an innocent and end a day short.

## I vote no lynch

Unless someone well and truly fucks themselves up. Or i change my mind. Sleep deprivation and shit.

I gotta leave my sis to school but ill be back online in a few hours.

Not knowing all the roles adds suspense too so we'll just have to see how it goes..

-------
y'all nukhuhs that be aight wit dat bullshiiit, just hit us up mang

I know it's been discussed a lot in the previous Mafia, so I want to keep this short, but I've got to say it one last time:

NO LYNCH
Good: No innocent death
Bad: No opinions, nothing to work with, giving Mafia a headstart on Night 1.

LYNCH
Good: See voting patterns and opinions
Bad: Likely innocent death, possible mafia death

By lynching someone, we are trading a likely innocent death for opinions and patterns, which I believe is valuable information. 1 innocent so early in the game doesn't swing the vote much either way.

(I would be happy to die for this purpose if innocents happen to lynch me for any reason, but obviously volunteering my life doesn't work because real choices are required in order to see patterns in how people vote.)

By not lynching, we gain nothing but we are off to a late start as the mafia kill 1 person at night. We can't afford a late start. 1 day lost is worse than 1 innocent lost.

In any case, we can reach the same outcome by DIFFUSING VOTES. That is, by spreading the votes out so that no one is lynched. That is more telling than nolynch. But less telling than regular, intuitive/random lynching.

That's all I'm gonna say on this cos i'm really tired of this debate. I hope enough innocents get the purpose.

From a distance you look like my friend,

even though we are at war.

Tell Me Again (1): Tell Me Again
Audrey820 (1): JonasBrothersFan1996
No-lynch (1): KeiraOasis

** A note about no-lynch, listen carefully because I only want to say this once. If no-lynch receives 9 votes, the day will be over. I will not interfere with the wishes of the town. If a majority of you are convinced that George W. Bush would make a good president no-lynch is the best option, then it is a no-lynch you shall have.

and bearsy its because i would refuse to work with any publisher who puts a woman in charge

incredibly low fidelity

its like playing chess and saying, 'i pass'
it makes no sense

##vote: medjai

you cant make the same mistake twice and live to tell that tale

the mafia won last game because hick town decided to no-lynch with time running out

how can anyone not see that


-------
Died in 1937

If you're not an innocent then uh, keep at it

OMG i need to get off this topic and stop spamming.

-------
i spy on you too

i'm not gonna follow it

-------
pressure becomes real only the moment we acknowledge that it can affect us

---

how am i turning innocents against each other

---

Oh nah you're not. I was just saying that if you were a bit antagonistic, people will be less willing to listen to you, and more likely to take offense. Their judgment will also be clouded even if you present good arguments. Being distracted from logically playing the game is a deterrent to the innocents' cause (ie to lynch the mafia). They're not being turned against each other.

So basically I'm saying that you have good judgment but don't be mean and repel people off.
