no lynching, while okay to do in some cased in Town of Salem, should not be done here.

Thus why I'm okay if you want to lynch me. I'm probably not gonna do anything too crazy this game in gimmicks. I'm just here for some typing action and maybe some banter.

Just know that, well... you'll be getting a mislynch if you choose me, but someone must go! Preferably a wolf of course, but the chances of that are definitely not in town's favor.

So bask in the the wordy actions, young one.

Also, I felt good, then bad, and then back to good again today.

I found a really good deal for a knife set, and my folks wanted a new one. Unfortunately, when I checked with my sister about it, she said it wasn't what my mother was looking for, which kind of crumbled me because I thought I did something cool by myself.

So instead, I found something much pricier due to no sale, but my sister is gonna go on ahead and split the cost of it, so it's essentially like I was paying for what I was initially getting... only slightly cheaper...

(It's $170 + tax...)

I am less inclined to vote Jessie than others because I thought her comment at funnygirl about not knowing if she is lying seemed genuine and something she might not think of to say as a wolf.

I also think it would be kind of random for funnygirl to talk about how she wishes she was a wolf, if she is one. It is at least not something I have seen a wolf do before.

I don't know if it would be that crazy for Flash flash to make the posts he has made as a wolf, but he is at least trying to make reads, and I don't really dislike anything he has said. I would not really call it a town lean but because I feel like hardly anyone is trying, I guess it is brownie points.

There are lots of people I would be willing to vote, though I would kind of be stretching for a reason to decide between any of them, until something spicier happens. I will just keep my attention on WV for the moment.

I feel like there's something important in this post so I'm going to print it out and staple it to my wall

very lame vote for reasons ind already mentioned. It raises red flags when you call someone out when someone had done it way earlier
look at jefanno/ind as a potential partnership

Edit: no longer voting for charu

don't no lynch, it's worse than lynching a townie

i'm kinda sorta eyeing ffa because i can't tell whether he's trying to be a hot memer with the night start stuff, or he actually knows the setup as a wolf and that's just a diversionary tactic

it would help me a bit if new folks talked some about their background in twg/mafia. i hate that all my reads are on people i already know

Whatcha gonna do about it!?

[Charu]

By the way, my actual green check is

[Funnygurl555]

charu play the d6 song

[Charu]

I'm at work

Also, the people across the hall finally stopped being loud and annoying.

I could see inD being a wolf.

Someone asked earlier about my previous history in these games. I've played mafia in-person a few times before, but never online. The games were always played straight through in one session, so this is a different pace to the game than what I've experienced before.

One procedural thing that I'm not familiar with: I had assumed that a person's vote gets locked in the first time it's made. Since I see people changing their votes above, I'm guessing I was wrong?

[flashflash account]

the biggest difference is that you're playing with people you don't know and you don't have physical tells
the bigger spacing in time doesn't really make much of a difference imo

[Charu]

Right, votes are no locked in this game.

There are some variations of forum mafia where the votes are locked, but it's largely dependent on the game and the host.

Yes you can change your vote. What made you pick Charu over inD to vote?

I thought you didnt really know Jessie, so I don't really get that. Also I am quoting the other stuff because I don't really understand it, sorry.

[flashflash account]

oh yeah forgot to mention this when I quoted him, but antori is screaming noob town to me so I'm clearing him

It is not very common to have no hanging here. I think it is because the point of the game is less about the roles and more about talking in the day. Like the benefit of no hanging would be to give our town investigative more time to get leads before we make decisions, but since nobody can heal or guard them, it runs the risk of us just losing an opportunity to hang that we can only get back with a smart doctor, while our only town investigative could just die and make it pointless. Even if we hang a town, though it is not ideal, we can take that information and analyze who seemed genuine and who did not in light of it. That is how I think of it anyway.

why would that be though, if we happend to lynch the seeker that might end up being worst then not lynching and not lynching buys us an extra day for both results of seeking and of majority

[star-crossed]

We only have one person that can get results and they cannot be saved by the town protective. They are immune to it. So it is risky to give the mafia more opportunity to kill them, while we are not using our opportunities to potentially hang mafia.
