We don't say "lynched" anymore, FYI.
GM Note:
Can confirm, we use kill instead of the L-word. General community vote to drop it.

What do you think? Do the people voting for you seem earnest in their pursuit?
No, but its not like mobs are the most rational bunch
Also in a game where murder is the bread-and-butter game mechanic, it's not like human life is super duper valuable
Did you answer whether you've played somewhere before?

What do you make of the fact that all the experienced people seem intent to vote?

Hi sweet. Same question.

Also we can see when you're reading the forum at the bottom of the page unless you turn it off, just FYI. No shame in turning it off.

I've played a tiny bit on BGA, but their slang is wildly different from everything I am seeing here.

I assume all of the experienced players like taking a shot in the dark in the first round, which isn't unreasonable.

The thing Jamie didn't point out is that it's not a very good play in this game. Assuming they're both mafia, if Jamie knows he's bussing Koala, he's either the other goon, in which case he's killing off his only real teammate (this might be reasonable if he knows that the second goon is a great player), or he's the traitor, in which case he knows he doesn't know who his other teammate is and so it's a pretty big gamble.

So I think Jamie's response is actually kind of weird, but it's actually unlikely that the ploy I described is happening.
The Traitor dynamic isn't something I considered when answering you - mostly I guess, because I am not scum, and I was primarily responding to your idea that "if Koala is scum then I've proved Jamie is scum too because this is a thing I, Foxcastle, did to a different player in a different game" which was nonsense.

But the Traitor is a dynamic to keep in mind, you're right.

No. We'll all just pitch in to edit one giant google spreadsheet.

Absolutely not.

There is only a 25% chance of randomly guessing a mafia member. I will vote no-kill because those are low odds. Unless someone can make a convincing argument for the elimination of a player.
Why do you think it is random?

The thread is already filled with information for you to work with.

Okay, I will vote randomly. I decided to vote for the person whose position on the list corresponds to the number of characters in the username of the person who first responds to me. Looks like it is #VOTE dousing
Invalid vote.

Nearly all the people with lots of Karma are veteran players of this particular forum game, because we tend to +1 each other's in-game posts a lot.

I have the most, because I am the Greatest Man That Ever Lived.
