Did you even read the rules Travis?

Never mind that claiming Doctor so early even without that kind of proof is unbelievably stupid also (unless done for sarcasm)

By the way, might we be better off letting the mafia get the first kill, as opposed to lynching one of our own and potentially going down 0-2? The first round is pretty much blind luck anyway.

Yes, I'm a law-abiding villager. Don't expect you to necessarily believe that, but there you have it.

This post to me is extremely suspect in more ways than one.

The only way a no lynch is better than a lynch is if the town is in a MYLO (Mislynch and lose) situation. Lynches give us far more information from the flips of a certain player as opposed to the maybes proposed by theory. Not to mention the mafia's attempts to sabotage and their free kill by not lynching.

Also, why do you need to announce that you're town? That reeks of insecurity, which is a scum tell.

I'd like to remove my nomination from SMX and nominate Cornfed instead.
 
Voice of Mod: Travis posting a screenshot of his information is technically against the rules, but as it hurts nobody but Travis and his team (the aforementioned and otherwise hidden villagers) he can remain in the game.

All future postings of your private role information will be considered a violation of the rules. Please keep this in mind: private chat stuff remains private. You can lie and say you're the doctor, the cop, whatever, all day long. But you can't reveal information confirming that unless the moderator says so.

Of course, he will likely be murdered soon by the Mafia. Why wouldn't they?

Nominations: Overnight, as I slept, SMX was nominated multiple times. In a live game, we would normally go with a nomination and a second. However, that is kinda unfair here, where someone can be nominated and seconded before they are even aware the thread has updated - or 10 people can be nominated while I sleep. So I am going to alter the rule, because I can do that. Going forward the day phase will continue until either a third of players (rounded up) currently in the game have nominated the same person (for the first turn here, 5 players) or until the end of the day phase, at which point the person with the most nominations shall be placed up for defense and vote.

In the rare instance that the game gets to to three players, a second will be required for a village nomination.

Current nominations
SMX - by Ariana, Perun, and Travis
Travis - by SMX and Unknown One
Knick - by Mosh
Cornfed - by RTC

If you do not see your name here and you voted, it's because you did not put the nomination in bold.
 
One positive thing about this is that Travis has the opportunity to protect himself once which gives him an almost guaranteed 2 day survival expectancy (unless he enters the realm of WIFOM or forgets to submit his action). Travis's confirmed townie status basically excludes him from being nominated and we now know that any of his votes are not malicious in nature.

Could I ask @Collin , how experienced in Mafia are you? It would help a lot with my read on you currently.
 
Voice of Mod: RTC, please use @ symbols to indicate a question to forum mates - I don't want to accidentally confuse that with a nomination when I scan the threads.
 
Until we get deeper into the game, it's hard to make an educated guess and nomination. So I'll break down my current thought process by the actions so far...

A few people's first posts were immediate nominations or seconds, which is incredibly suspicious:
- RTC, Collin, Mosh, Unknown One, Night Prowler.

A few people are posting occasionally, but only in a short, humorous manner, which could definitely be suspicious:
- Perun, Ariana, Brig, myself.

A few people are making long, elaborate posts full of information/disinformation:
- RTC, Cornfed, SMX.

- Travis has put a noose around his neck.

- Stardust is being Stardust and currently living in a dialogue-based role-playing game. This is either suspicious or totally normal. Haven't decided yet.

- mckindog is playing the fool, which is also very suspicious at this stage.

Considering RTC appears in two of those categories, I'm leaning towards a nomination there, but I haven't decided yet.

The mafia could be trying one of two strategies here:
1. Talk a lot. Deceive. Inveigle. Obfuscate. (Leads me to believe mafia members could be RTC, Cornfed, or SMX at this point)

2. Talk very little. Hide in plain sight. (Leads me to believe mafia members could be almost anyone else)
 
Me and several others were taking part in the Random Voting Stage (RVS for short). It's common procedure to get the game off the ground with nonsensical votes, since you can gauge various reactions, which equals tells.
 
I think that the mafia is probably going after the stronger players first. What I mean by this, is that the mafia may go for the players on the offensive. I'm not playing defense, I'm just being myself.

That's not an excuse for posts solely comprised of fluff. Everyone should be doing their best to scumhunt, instead of opting to take a backseat and feigning interest.
 
Alright.

So, I wish to second Travis The Dragon.

Why? Well, he clearly wants to get noticed by everyone.
This can allow other mafia to make their moves unnotticed. That's my reason for seconding Travis.
 
To be honest, I get a town read from that. Mafia are very likely to be cautious so that they don't make mistakes, and that's a pretty terrible mistake to make.

Not that Stardust being Mafia is out of the question, but I think he'd be less likely to do that if he is in my personal view.
