Oh, I didn't notice that there had been an update yet. Sorry, I'll be more active now.
Mekkah, it isn't a given that the mafia are competent enough to know you shouldn't be recruited early, or know that someone like billymills is competent, although I agree, that isn't enough to make Mekkah more suspicious than anyone else at this stage.
I would like to see Class provide reasoning for casting suspicion upon Mekkah. I can't tell if he's just being a clueless villager lashing out randomly or has actual reasons.
My main thoughts are this: Tenken is looking worse and worse as time passes.
Wow, you really want me lynched.
I may not be the best player, but where was it decided that you were amazing? I rarely play mafia games on smogon, so most games I play actually are mafiascum-style. And in those games, Day 1 usually does end in No Lynch from what I see.
So your plan is to kill bad townies randomly, because that doesn't hurt us? Well if they are a bad townie, they are most likely a bad mafia, which means they will slip. If they will slip, then there is no reason to start killing them randomly lowering our numbers. You are just trying to justify mislynches.
Frankly, this looks along the lines of 'LYNCH ME? YOU'LL BE SORRY!', which is often a pretty obvious bluff. It even includes personal attacks, lol. The post is even full of desperate, senseless lines like 'Well if they are a bad townie, they are most likely a bad mafia'. That's terrible reasoning. It feels like he's trying to buy time, with 'I'll slip eventually if I'm mafia, otherwise I'm not!', which is what his defense boils down to. He's also trying to hide behind being unskilled, which just reeks of 'I don't have anything better to defend myself with'. Lastly, his appeal to everyone -- 'who would you recruit?' -- doesn't look so great combined with everything else.
Personally, I don't see anything as badly wrong as Chris says with a no lynch, because numbers are always a problem, and there's always the possibility we hit someone important, but that's true of any day we could make a mislynch, so given that logic, we shouldn't vote any day, just in case we hit ourselves. In fact, I fully expect we'll hit ourselves at least once this game, due to people being dumb, people being paranoid, mafias attempting to misdirect us, and people behaving oddly when really they are an innocent villager. I also disagree with Chris that lynching a stupid villager isn't a problem, but I feel here the potential rewards really exceed the risk, given my increasing certainty about Tenken.
Fire Tenken.
aska, I'd like it if you didn't sit back so much, please; you have the leadership role here. I'm not saying 'start bandwagons', I'm just saying you can contribute to the discussions too. Your words are the most valuable of all. Rook and Chris aren't more suspicious for posting, they each have their own defining suspicious features. Chris's pushiness and insistence on lynching, even disregarding the possibility of a mislynch, which can be suspicious (although I somewhat agree, as expressed above), and Rook's blind defence of Mekkah, even if he says it's just because Mekkah is a big name.
