i am vote? really? look like i the foreigner which do not speaking the englishes.

I fully agree with THM above. Lynching is what urges the Mafia to come out of hiding either defensively (it wasn't me!) or offensively (yessssss kill him!). Without lynching, we support the Mafia to just hang around, lurk a bit and wait while the townsfolk incriminate each other.

Abge has made a compelling case. I am no longer in favour of no lynching and now suggest that we lynch Vashta.

Why would you want to lynch me, Fasces. I have been nothing but loyal to the town's best interest. In fact I was almost the first to cpme up with a profile fot the mafia, so why me?

After completely reading the first 4 pages and then running out of time, I continued reading only the posts of players that did not post until page 4 ...

here my 2 cents:

Thucy: "I seriously think we should not lynch anyone this round - it's pure speculation."
This entire game is pure speculation, no matter if we start lynching now or tomorrow after there will be at least one innocent person gone

Yebellz: "if we get lucky (5/18 chance) we put ourselves in a better situation, but the more likely scenario (13/18 chance) we are only worse off"
And if we do nothing today, our chances to lynch the right person tomorrow is probably 5/16. Waiting will not improve my chances to be on the winning side in this game - I say MY chances because I am not sure if you and I are on the same side -> vanilla town ... in fact to me everyone prefering not to lynch today is a suspect since waiting improves the mafias position

Chaqa: "What we need to do is not kill anyone. Let the mafia make a move. Maybe they kill someone. Maybe they don't."
Why should they not kill someone? Every kill they do improves their chances

Hanged man: "I favor targeting someone who has not spoken much, but who has at least satisfied the one post (with vote) minimum to avoid being booted"
Exactely what I think - target one of those, or target one who tries to improve the mafias position by not lynching today.

WardenDresden: "Problem with lynching someone day one is that technically right now even the mafia are innocent."
Did you not read the opening story? We have proof there are weapons of mass destruction in Ir ... eeh, that there are 4 multis in webDiplistan! Multis are by definition not innocent
"The thing is, the ONLY power we normal citizens have is the power to lynch someone, and I damn well want to exercise my rights before the mafia kills me."
I totally agree on that point

My vote will follow later today

Sorry for the typos, I'm using my phone right noe to defend my honor.

"Well, Thucy, currently i am working on an algorithm on who to eliminate"
You don't lynch based on math. You've also been giving a lot of filler and you're reaction to my fos (epic mafia term), makes me believe you are mafia.

Sevyas, we might have more information tomorrow. In fact, we may have more information today, if people start making claims. It's a logical lapse to assume that tomorrow will also be a complete shot in the dark. I haven't made my vote yet since I'm still waiting to see how this round turns out with the chat.

I agree with Sevyas in just about every way. I would be in favor of lynching someone who has not been productive really.

Wow - you go down to the Congo for a small bite to eat - come back and there's bloody mafia running the town and a serial killer on the fucking loose (is he technically a serial killer when he hasn't killed anyone or was he off doing it somewhere else)

Either way - managed to wade my way through the arguments, counter arguments and I DEMAND JUSTICE - someone must be lynched - although as yet I want more info before deciding who. Too many people who haven't commented or got into the conversation yet.

"Wow - you go down to the Congo for a small bite to eat and a serial killer on the fucking loose (is he technically a serial killer when he hasn't killed anyone or was he off doing it somewhere else)"
Maybe the SK started his killing spree in the Congo...

No news of deaths reported in the Congo.....

That's only because you ate all the reporters!

its the Congo, which is in Africa. We all know Africa is nothing but a cesspool of Aids and Civil War.

There will always be reports of death in the Congo

Frankly if I was a serial killer I'd stay in the Congo - far better eating down there. Alex - you would never eat a reporter! Think of all the ink they've consumed and soaked through their very skin.

Anyone want to list out the players that haven't spoken yet? I can do it when I'm off mobile if no one has done it yet.

"@PE Is it possible to change a vote after doing the ##VOTE, or is using the tag a binding action when accusing someone? Naturally one would risk being unable to change the vote if the hammer cut a day short, but is vote-changing going to be a part, or are ##VOTEs going to be considered final?"

Both ##VOTE and ##END tags are not final; you can change either as many times as you want until the day ends. (Of course, since ##END tags might cause the day to end, you want to be careful with throwing those around....)


If I missed your query please ask again or PM me. Vote count update in next post.

Vote Count Update the Second

Vote no-lynch (5) Thucydides, Chaqa, Fasces349, AlexNesta, kasimax

Votes outstanding (13): Everyone else (I'm not writing this whole list out)

Roughly 35 hours remain

Gentlemen (and I use that term in the most ridiculous way) - Discussion seems to be progressing, with even a mind changed – may I recommend we update this straw vote on intention – and feel free to fill in any leanings you have (yes, even if you are fitting the noose about my neck…) Copy/Paste/Update…you know the drill.

Thanks Townies!


1. abge - Pro lynch <name>
2. krellin - Pro lynch <an anti-lyncher>
3. vash - Pro Lynch ?
4. Jok3r - Pro lynch ?

Also - since the Doc and the Cop are valuable assetts - anyone have any suggestion at all as to how to mitigate killing them accidently?

The chance of killing the Doc/Cop is 1/9. Those are the best odds we'll ever have (I think) of not killing them. I'm not sure we can do better than that.

@Krellin: If I have to confirm for you one more time that I am pro lynch, you're gonna be my vote.

Also, there really isn't a suggestion to help not killing them. For the most part, today's lynch(if it happens) will be random. Trying to get more information to not hit the cop/doctor/vigilante just isn't a feasible plan.

Jok3r, do you understand how a straw poll works? the idea here is that things are fluid right now, and we are asking people to update the list to reflect their current state of mind. Others HAVE changed their mind - I assume you are a free man, and can update the list if needed. Others are not on the list, and I'm simply asking them to put their name down and current state of mind.

Why are you afraid of a little organization?

Jok3r - The "?" is to indicate you have expressed no preference as to WHO we lynch.

Whoa Krellin. Let's not blow this out of proportion. I simply misread your list and interpreted it as you not sure of which way I was leaning in regards to this great debate. There's definitely no reason to jump to the conclusion that I am against organization of thoughts.

Why not just format it the same way you did for abge?

1. abge - Pro lynch <name>
2. krellin - Pro lynch <an anti-lyncher>
3. vash - Pro Lynch ?
4. Jok3r - Pro lynch ?
5. Pjmansfield99 - Pro Lynch ?

yebellz...because I did 1. and 2. on my computer, and the others on a phone/tablet, and it was easier. here...reformated for consistency. ;)

1. abge - Pro lynch ?
2. krellin - Pro lynch ? * Change - undecided
3. vash - Pro Lynch ?
4. Jok3r - Pro lynch ?
5. Pjmansfield99 - Pro Lynch ?

1. abge - Pro lynch <name>
