Leading this village
I'm fine with an inspector checking me, although if possible it would be great for the BG to protect me this night as well so that we don't waste an inspection on a villager who dies the same night. Basically, the problem with broadcasting who we are inspecting is that the mafia can just kill that person easily enough and the village further loses information.It's a day 1 lynch. I was just saying what a normal villager would say. Sorry if I'm wrong for the lynch as I'm just following my FoS. If we're right, the hooray.
I'm also a new player, and this is my first mafia game on a forum, so I'm trying to tread carefully.
Btw, I find that a some of you are overthinking things. Analyzing harmless comments and reading between the lines will only get more of the village killed. That should only be done I believe when everyone you're playing with is experienced and can use their posts to manipulate the vote, convey something else, etc.
Unclesam, you look too pro-town. While lynching you is obviously a bad decision, I ask the cop (if there is one) to check on Unclesam tonight. If he's clear, we have a smart villager who can lead us on, if he turns out guilty, then, we get rid of a really smart player who's really good acting. He's obviously smart/experienced with mafia. Win/win either way.
As for my vote, Spiffy's lynch looks logical, but if the mod clears him, I don't think we should waste a lynch where everyone (will likely) bandwagon, thus, not giving us not much to work with after day 1.
Unvote
Unvoting for now, Galladiator looks to be in the same position as me, so I will wait a bit more for more FoSes.
Now then, I propose that everyone in the game be required to post an analysis on every other player in the game based on posting thus far. This helps more than anything else in terms of associating who is more likely to be allied with who and will help the village immensely later on. I'll start it off (In order of player list):
-billymills: Acting essentially the same way he did in Peace NOC mafia. Basically, he is acting exactly like I would expect a smart villager to act like, but he is also good enough at mafia to be able to simulate this in a controlled environment such as an NOC mafia fairly easily (especially considering most of what he has been doing is starting rand lynches on j-man or detroitlolcat). I think he is village based on his behavior, but he is good enough at mafia that I honestly can't say what he is with any degree of certainty.
-Da Letter El: Dude, you are one of the most suspicious players in the game to me right now. Maybe you are just trolling, but a player as good as you should be helping lead discussions far more than you are (right now you have contributed essentially nothing other than an attempt to lynch Isaac). Suspicious and definitely worth calling out to see how he defends his seeming apathy.
-polelover44: I was really suspicious of you early on due to your complete trolling (just like DLE), but I guess I stopped being so suspicious when I realized you have been really idle lately. Essentially acting the same way as DLE except that I expect less from him, so I guess I'd just say that I'm not yet sure on him.
-Spiffy: For reasons I have already explained, I find him one of if not the single most suspicious player at the moment. No, it is not for anything he said, but for the fact that the host actually broke his own categorical rules to save him. No matter how many times the host covers his own and Spiffy's ass, I just don't buy there wasn't a hidden agenda there.
-Quagsires: As I have remarked before, he seems like a typical useful and smart villager. However, I wouldn't put it past a player of his caliber to be able to act like a good villager, so I guess I would put this into the billymills category: "I think he's village but I can't get a good reading on him yet".
-Fangren: Tried to no lynch, which an experienced player shouldn't have. Apart from that, argued for the village to essentially go into lockdown mode (which kills villages, as seen in the Lockdown games), which I also find suspicious. Either he is playing poorly or is mafia, so he should definitely defend himself some more so we can see how he explains his actions.
-Detroitlolcat: Well...he isn't the best at mafia, and he has been acting suspiciously. I honestly would guess he isn't mafia just because as we have seen in the past what usually happens in these games is that less intelligent or experienced villagers make asses of themselves while smarter villagers and mafia lynch them, and the sheer majority of the village would suggest to me that is what is happening in his case. Of course, it is also entirely possible he is mafia and has given himself away and that I am overestimating how poor he is; again, much of my suspiciousness level for any given player is based on how good I perceive that player relative to how pro-village that player is acting.
-Yeti: OK, either you are trolling or you are mafia. There just aren't any other explanations. Essentially you are like DLE except that you have never contributed anything at all (that I'm aware of). Quite frankly, I expected way more from you. I guess I'm not as suspicious of you as I am of some others purely because you haven't said anything incriminating (given you've said essentially nothing at all this isn't surprising), but I really need to hear more from you or I will start to assume you aren't with the village.
-masterful: Bandwagoned if I remember correctly, which may be due to his inexperience or may be due to his being mafia. Definitely worth pressuring more to see how he explains himself as he is quite possibly mafia.
-Ditto: Bandwagoned and has contributed almost nothing. Essentially has just defended himself. I find both of these highly mafia-like traits, and to boot he teamed with Galladiator and DLE to try to lead a wagon on Isaac. In short, highly suspicious.
-Fatecrashers: Not much from him in terms of actual contributions, which is a little surprising. I would really love to hear you expand on your ideas more in the thread, because if you are a villager they could be very helpful in finding mafia and if you are a mafia then I want you to talk more so you have more opportunities to slip up :D
-Groshi: Uh...nothing. Not a single thing as far as I am aware. Start posting before we just lynch you dude.
-Brammi: Hardly posted at all until recently, when he accused billymills for hardly any reason whatsoever. The spike in activity is odd and I would like that to be explained, as would I like the attack on someone who I think is likely to be village. That being said, he is against a no lynch so he is not entirely acting anti-village. Could go either way.
-J-Man: Dude...I would tell you to contribute more but I doubt it would help much. I just can't really read this dude because I think if he were village inspector there is a 50% chance he would admit to being a member of the mafia under questioning and and so if he is a mafia there is a 50% chance I wouldn't believe him even if he admitted it...not sure how to judge someone like this.
-rickheg: That he is voting Spiffy shows me that he is probably not mafia, another reason to lynch Spiffy is that if Spiffy turns village we will learn a lot about rickheg as well. Not that I think Spiffy is village, just saying that I think we can assume that rickheg is probably not on Spiffy's team.
-HSA: Wavering, indecisive, and not contributing much at all. Post more and defend your lack of activity please.
-Galladiator: Ya...this guy screams mafia more than anyone else except possibly Spiffy. He gets desperate as soon as people start talking to him, he is oddly hyperactive and hyperinterested for a first-timer...he just screams anti-village to me for so many reasons. I would gladly lynch him this day.
-UncleSam: I know I'm a villager, but I won't bothering justifying it here; I'll let the rest of you decide what I am based on what I say and what I uncover.
-Acklow: Hasn't posted much, hasn't contributed much, but this is exactly what I would expect from him to be quite honest. My gut says villager, but he really hasn't been active enough to say with much certainty what he is, and his general apathy for getting a discussion going is troubling. Please defend these points.
-Isaac 2.0: If I recall correctly he was rolled by Galladiator, DLE, and Ditto, which in my book makes him pretty clean. That being said, DLE's point wasn't entirely irrelevant (about his apologizing for a vote), it just seemed more of an excuse to start a wagon than anything. He seems to be responding to most things fairly logically, so I really can't tell what he is as of yet. He could well be a villager that the mafia is trying to frame, or he could be a mafia who has given himself away a little bit and will continue to give himself away if we push him to defend himself.
Now then, these were very rushed, but I would like everyone to do something similar so we can see where everyone stands with reference to everyone else. It really will help the village in later days when/if things get tight.
