Day 1: Baseless votes and floundering shall ensue.

Congratulations! You four have been decided to play as this game's mafia. Some common things to make note of:

• Talk to each other about random speculations about the game in the game thread. When you don't talk to each other in the thread, suspicions will come about that you're talking to each other by some other method.
  
• Pretending to be a villager is the key thing. When making a vote, try and bring about some reasoning to it, even when it is a bandwagon.
  
• Most importantly, Don't bring too much attention to yourself. Even looking like a villager that's genuinely trying, you're likely to wind up being seered.
  

So for the most part, don't post all that often in the game thread, otherwise your name will be fresh in everybody else's memory. Just do speculations and agreements with other people scarcely, and throw in your vote for the night.

Finding special targets to kill is a trickier matter, but they will most likely try the same playstyle as a mafia, particularly the Guardian.

Anyway, I'll leave it at this. You'll want to talk about which two people you guys want to kill tonight, and the other mentors probably have some things to say themselves.

The main problem that I can see is the very high chance that the players with the most experience will get seered first. At least thats what I would do if I was a seer.

So I suggest we strike middle of the pack for our targets. thoughts?

[hippie]

By middle of the pack, you mean number of games played?

[dogbone33]

Well roughly yes. RNG gave me my vote target which coincidentally was middle of the pack.

I've already drawn a vote for some reason though. Pretty sketchy reason for it too. Not even RNG'd

I'm thinking Ringo and Talleyrand. I don't think the village can pull a pattern or reasoning for those kills. Also they are far enough apart on the player list we might get a lucky special kill.

[dogbone33]

Just to let you all know tomorrow after 6pm CST I won't be around. I have a telethon I'm working and then drunken shenanigans. So hopefully we can come to a consensus before then.

[pigeonking]

Welp, I RNG'd Gonmun for the first village vote. Logic on the mafia kills sounds good too.

[dogbone33]

Ok gang do we all want to send in orders for the kill or do we want one of us to do it for the group?

I'm ok either way.

Edit- Hmmmm it appears Lemminghead may have tipped his hand a bit there. Upset that the most experienced player got 1 vote and already preemptively talking about monday and his school schedule. Last I checked it is only thursday now.

We need to keep an eye on him.

Edit 2- Shit I have managed to take the vote lead. Be ready to hop on a bandwagon if one forms for someone else. Or to divert this one if it grows. Our best bet is to possibly throw suspicion on Lemming for his fear of pablo getting bounced.

[dogbone33]

Well I screwed up somewhere. I now have three votes and the reasoning is because I made a joke and my avatar.

Anyone have any advice for a good way I can get the wagon stopped?

Would it be better to let someone else stop it?

[pigeonking]

I think it would be best to wait for someone else, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. Talk about bad luck...

[hippie]

Best bet i'v seen is for someone to vote for someone else right in the middle of it (ie, right now).

Any of us not red voted yet? Cause now would be the best time to do so.

[kistra]

I think one person sending in the vote and ccing everyone is a good idea. That way we all know the vote has been sent but we aren't flooding JCs PM box.

[pigeonking]

Krista hasn't, but we haven't heard from them at all. Of course, if someone starts another vote train, that's a great reason to target them day 2, right?

Edit: Never mind, i am slow and stupid

[dogbone33]

Ok hippie I nominate you lol.

Kistra as the only one of us not to vote yet it might be best for you to find someone that already has one vote and try to propose a solid reason for doing so. That might be tough though since it is day one.

Edit-We have an opening! Someone just nominated simpsons. Kistra can pretend she RNG'd him too then the vote is tied. All we have to do then is watch the situation. If it stays tied great we can break it at the last second and even direct the flow of votes from here.

I hope.

[pigeonking]

Man, that was a stroke of luck.

[dogbone33]

Wow ok I know Lemminghead is a newer player but everyone who reads the OP knows you can retract your votes.

I think I've changed my mind on our targets. I really think Ringo and him should get the axe.
