Ok, so here we can see Cyber breaking the first rule of Mafia, which is don’t get caught lying. I went through every comment in the last thread and no where do I even come close to saying that NO LYNCH is a bad idea. I’m the one who, after the rule is confirmed, starts with the NO LYNCH vote.
Rule of thumb in Mafia: Lynch the liars.
See, this is where I start to run into trouble with this game. I can’t tell if what is trying to cover for the mafia, or too stupid to know how the game works, so I’m gonna take the approach that e’s stupid.
Day One: None of the investigative roles have had the chance to use any of their abilities, therefore we have no information as of yet. No one has said anything so any votes cannot be based on reasonable suspicion yet. Mafia games are set up with more townies than anything, so if you take a random shot in the dark the chance of hitting the “good guys” is higher. If this is done you’ve now hurt your chance to get as valuable information on in the night, because you’ve either a) killed an investigator b)killed a doctor, causing the investigator to not want to reveal information as he will die that night c) kill a valuable role for no reason.
Now, if you lynch a Mafia or evil role the first night? You’re golden, but how can you be sure? That is the problem with your random lynch.
Here we have What lying as well. If you’ll notice I did not express “delight that whatever role he had could cause some really confusion or problems” I stated I was happy that this game had so many people, which would be more confusing. I ALSO STATED THIS BEFORE I GOT MY ROLE. You’ll see I confirm later on. You’ll also note that on my public wall Tom said he couldn’t send my role to me as my inbox was full. At the time of the post What is talking about, I had no role yet.
Can I point of the flaw in your first post? If I was a killer, would I not want people to get lynched? Would it not save me a turn in doing it myself? A serial killer would support the lynch of anyone in the game because it’s one step closer to winning and keeps the target off their back. Anyone who is eager to lynch is usually mafia or neutral.
How is being down one person worse than being down two? How does that add up? How does lynching one townie during the day then letting one die at night IMPROVE your odds? You have to be lying, there’s no way you are actually that stupid.
What we have here are two people who, without coming out and saying it, totally support each other. They have also both clearly lied in this game. I’m not saying lynch them, but the choice is yours.
As an aside – I’m having fun! Good job everyone!
