    In that case, lets not use flip-flopping as a negative. Perhaps some of us are open and amenable to being reasoned with.

    Yes. And some of you have an opinion, post it, confer in shared qt, discover it was the wrong one, walk back on it and come out looking suspicious. I hear that happens.

    This is my point! How is it losing a day? pretty sure there is no reveal on death so would it actually help at all or would we all just feel like we did something? So far, I don't see anyone with votes that I would actually feel comfortable taking out of the game.

    I don't think scum will counterclaim, pretty sure it was Aek who pointed out that any scum claiming situation wouldn't go so great for scum.

    I just don't see the benefit in a no reveal death game of lynching day one, if I somehow missed a huge gap somewhere please tell me.

    No lynching means an even number of players, which statistically makes it harder to catch scum toward the end of the game. This is also why every mafia game starts with an odd number of players.

    It also stifles conversation.

    Anyway, Lynch: Schrodinger for reasons.

    ---------- Post automerged at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

    reasons for voting Schro, before someone asks:

    First, I have a hard time reading Schro, and I prefer to kill people I can't read.

    Second, I don't think the case on Zennith is good enough to lynch.

    I'm not sure what the case on Castiel even is, so yeah

    First, sorry that I'm just now posting again; Uni started back for me today.

    Anyways, that said, there are a handful of people with posts that I find at least vaguely suspicious, but I could definitely justify offing any of the three current vote getters. Of those, I'm almost equally suspicious of Castiel and Schrodinger; Schrodinger's first post was terrifically suspicious, to the point that I'm almost afraid to call it a scum tell because I don't think any scum would be so dumb, but with that said that's where most of the votes are, and a lynch /is/ important. In the interest of not wasting a day:

    Lynch: Schrodinger

    I would like to hear a little from LochNess when she gets back, though. While I agree that Castiel is suspicious, why Castiel over Schrodinger or any of the other options? Maybe I'm just being a suspicious bastard, but it felt almost like you were attempting to force us to leave Schrodinger (as the other main option at the time) alive by saying, effectively, that you were voting for Castiel, and you expected Stojil and the rest to go that way to make sure we lynched somebody.

    Not that real life coming up isn't a valid excuse (hell, it was how I opened my post), but I'm curious why Castiel is more suspicious than Schrodinger to you.

    No Lynch Zennith since it's going nowhere.
    Lynch Schrodinger for that first post.

    Castiel: 3 (Bill Door, Moridin, LochNess)
    Schrodinger:8 (Uncle Stojil, Castiel, Zennith, Aekiel, Rubicon, Typhon, Jibril, fontisian)
    Zennith: 1 (Sesc)

    Well shit, this is what happens when you go off and work on a programming assignment for twenty four hours in the middle of the game.
    Looks like I'm getting lynched which is okay I guess since it's better than accidentally lynching Dresden or Molly.
    For the record, I am town.
    I guess this round of Mafia was just not meant to be for me. I probably shouldn't have argued with Stojil so much, since people pretty much thought his plan was foolproof, but... I dunno. I guess some of the people who voted for me might have been scum so look at people's rationals for killing me tomorrow...?
    Bleh. Vanilla Mortal rerolled into white thrall rerolled into vanilla mortal and day 1 lynched. FML.

    Day 1 vote:

    Castiel: 3 (Bill Door, Moridin, LochNess)
    Schrodinger: 8 (Uncle Stojil, Castiel, Zennith, Aekiel, Rubicon, Typhon, Jibril, Fontisian)
    Zennith: 1 ( Sesc)

    The air was still, the audience of the monumental chess game held their breaths as Schrodinger was marched to the scaffold, yielding with ease. None made a sound as the noose lowered over his neck. Some wondered if this was the correct decision, but the majority of the town would not be swayed. The trapdoor opened and the light left Schrodinger's eyes as it left the day. Night has fallen upon the crowd.

    Day 1 Ends. Twilight begins. Night 1 begins in 35 minutes.

    You may talk for the next 35 minutes or so.

    I will allow for 24 hours for Night Actions to be set. If I receive all actions before the end of that period, I will start Day 2 early.

    Well, that was quick.

    Also, Castiel and NobelFiction haven't checked in after Jibril revealed. Goddamn I'm going to rage if either claims Molly and turns out to be the true one, in the end :|

    The collected members arose bright and early. The sun came earlier than expected but some of the group welcomed it as it heralded the end of a restless and worrisome night. Their is a shudder of silence amongst the group as they realize that one of their number was murdered in the night. UncleStojil is dead and gone and won't be coming back. Let us hope that Dresden knows what he's doing as the community prepares themselves for the volley of accusations that are sure to come.

    Day 2 begins

    1. Bill Door
    2. Castiel
    3. Zennith
    4. Moridin
    5. NobelFiction
    6. Rubicon
    7. Jibril
    8. LochNess
    9. Sesc
    10. Rents
    11. Aekiel
    12. Typhon
    13. Fontisian

    All night actions came in early. If you are not on the list you may not post. You now have 48 hours to discuss and potentially lynch someone. Conversation is now allowed in this topic.

    This night, as Molly I decided to check Zennith, because his attitude was suspicious (trying to doubcast and what Aekiel wrote in this post).

    And I was right. Zennith is not a human. This is all I got out of my night action. So, Lynch:Zennith

    Riley: Will Molly detect the people converted on the night she performs the check as tainted?

    From his posts from yesterday I'd go with scum. So, Lynch: Zennith

    That said, I need to go back to sleep. Fucking timezones.

    Well if Jolly is in fact Molly, then we should go for Lynch: Zennith

    Then again Jibril could be a White or Red with NobelFiction or Castiel as Molly, but we haven't heard from them. For now I'll go with the "scum couldn't be that stupid" route and just lynch Zennith though.

    Before I say anything, jibril, I need the answer to castiel's question.

    ---------- Post automerged at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

    Also, some of you are so eager to vote without discussion. I find that interesting too.

    As her action takes place last, Molly will detect if a person is human or not regardless of the night they are enthralled. For the sake of game, enthralled counts as not human. Same as being a part of the courts.

    What is this... I don't even...

    You do realize this pretty much cements you as scum?

    The answer to my question isirrelevant if you are a townie. In fact, if you are a townie, you know the answer, given that you were checked as non-human.

    Really off to sleep now.

    Or I was visited and clearly tainted, but didn't know in what order I was checked.
