GT Mafia: Round 2 ((Post-Game))

[Thesealion]

I have a few suspects. My greatest ones are Ricky and Shiraz. Shiraz seems to be taking the same role i did last game...

Ricky and I have made a temporary honor truce in the game.

I ask (and I'm sure he does too) all people voting Ryan or Ricky change your vote to Crow. Currently I can't see everyone uniting to get 10 votes at this rate.

Someone needs to die. We're probably going to kill a villager no matter what. Let's just pick one and do it.

Also, if there is a popular vote with only an hour left I will change my vote to it no matter who it is if it guarantees someone dies today.

In fact I say right now. I am a villager. If you are a villager too then you admit we must unite by the end of a day. Everyday no matter how hard I fight I will change my vote to support a popular vote if I am not already voting with it. Any villager should have no problem doing this. Mafia will have trouble switching if the lynching victim is a mafia ally. Announcing you are villager puts you in no more danger as the mafia know who everyone is.

Also this will help alleviate any blame between villagers since everyone will be united (minus mafia).

If you are a villager and are willing to help the village by vote changing at the end of the day, join me, add Neighborhood Watch to your sig.

Excellent, a fourth person has received a vote.

For the sake of argument, it isn't in our (the innocent's) best interest to spread our votes around. We only have the opportunity to vote for one person. The more people who receive votes, the more likely we are to hit a mafia member, yes. But just having a mafia member receive votes, but not a majority, is counter productive, because then the mafia will know who is suspecting them. And yes, we could reason through who the recently-killed voted for, but even that isn't foolproof.

I say we stick to few suspects a day unless someone has hard, convincing evidence of another suspect.

Ryan how can we tell you aren't trying to hide the mafia trying to swing a vote?

You can't. It's Day 1. We have to chance it.

I am starting Neighborhood Watch though.

I would encourage the detective to investigate Ryan tonight to see if he is mafia. I don't completely trust Ryan but at this point the facts that I have lead me to other sources for the time being. I'm not against going for Ryan later if he seems like a likely suspect. It just doesn't seem that way quite yet.

[Syko Nachoman]

This Ryan-Ricky alliance seems a bit suspicious. I'm affirming my vote for Ricky, though I've decided to keep an eye on Ryan as well.

[Thesealion]

If i were the detective i would investigate Ricky, Ryan, and Shiraz.

[Ara (Crow)]

If I was Mafia, I'd put up more of a fight, if I wasn't, which I am not Mafia, I'd make more of an offort.

Besides, my birthday is on the 30th, and apparently, it seems like that will come sooner.

[Ryan Roos]

This doesn't prove anything, but Detective please investigate me. I don't know how you will tell anyone without revealing yourself, but at least you can be my ally.

Also Neighborhood Watch. Reluctant joiners should be looked upon with suspicion. There is no down side as a villager.

I only have 10 available characters remaining for sig space

What's to stop the mafia members from joining the neighborhood watch?

Can't anyone including mafia members join the neighborhood watch, too?

Sure and when they don't switch votes they will be revealed.

The point is we unite as a village. Fight hard for your vote all day. But if you are beat at the end then work together with the popular vote to kill. Mafia will have a more difficult time switching. Even if they do switch it wont matter. Then it's just nil.

I can't see how it hurts the village. And mafia will be reluctant to join and/or change their votes.

Okay. Now, what if the mafia member joins the neighborhood watch? Are they clear? Wouldn't it benefit a mafia member more to join the neighborhood watch? I mean, at risk of being revealed, and without more suspects, a mafia member would definitely vote for a fellow mafia member. I just can't see how it distinguishes mafia members from innocents.
