I used to think it was a good idea to lynch the non posters in the early life of mafia games, but now i'm more opposed to the idea...
to lynch Yorkshire Blue yet again for a lack of posts and strange posting style means people have not learnt anything. Suspect him by all means but dont lynch him just yet... if we have a cop role then simply investigate him.
Same as Footynewb, i wouldnt vote him off yet either and he must also be on the cops list of people to investigate. He seems good at the game, and to loose a good aussie time player through circumstances is not right for the first day lynch.
This is a post from Axeman. I have a theory that people who talk about the cop, and try to direct him what to do often have something to hide. We don't know if there is even a cop, and even if so then they should follow their own judgement.
Footynewb needs to get online and defend himself or it looks like hes gonna get swept away, as I dont think many people are ready to change their minds.
Hammer, I understand where Axeman is coming from with voting a non-poster it is kind of in theory like a no-lynch...we get no real information from it...and at the same time that is what is sooooo frustrating about someone that knows this game has been started since what...Monday? and it is now Friday and only one post?

?
I actually think his chances of being a townie have to be slim simply basing it off of his last role...which I probably should not do...but he was townie and involved...not heavily...but more than one post in five days?
I mean how can we not be suspicious...we have nothing to go on but his past behavior in ONE game...and in it he was at least remotely active.
I do NOT want to loose a townie...this happened to me before voting for a townie because they never posted and never even had the time to defend themselves...even though I voted and gave them two full days to respond...it's actually quite frustrating I feel it puts the townies to a disadvantage.
It is day one and lots of weird stuff going back and forth, I still think Wes smells of something...but I can't figure out in my mind why...so for now I'm leaving him alone.
I am actually seeing yorkshire blue as quite active for him! so I don't see anyone really voting for him because he's not posting...which Axeman defending him a bit seems odd...but for now....I'm not sure I think it's a mafia match up...but Axeman may know something I don't and I'll leave that alone for now....just not sure.
SVH, I think defending him is not necessary...he's able to handle himself...although I kind of don't see the arguement you are making hippo. I agree in this game it is important to see who is lining up with whom....however I thought SVH quite simply was convinced by Axeman and gave a good explanation for agreeing for him...he gave math..and well for now I can't really see that as evidence he's mafia....I am not saying I'm sold that he and Axeman aren't working together...but what you came up with well....appears a bit...strained in making a clear cut case...but kuddos for someone working to pick things apart.
Stevenryals....hhhm
mm....yes I said he was on me again...GAH! You perves...lol! I'm always careful to analyize he and mophead cause we live together...but I'm thinking he is townie because I see him fishing but not going after folks directly and all over the place like when he was godfather...he's a smart one though...so I keep my eye on him...but I kind of think he's making a few good points...and that's all I want to say at this point...not exactly sure what I think.
Afroboy....hmm...he's a smart one also...hard to pinpoint...I just KNEW he was evil last game...I think he might be this game as well, but nothing really to go on except he has made a few jokes and so forth not game related...I don't see anything really standing out at this point.
Hippo...smart player you and Axeman always starts the never trust the smart player...I have to say...thinking about things and how you've pieced together a few things and appear almost zen like calm...you make me nervous...kind of really think you might not be good this time around. You are a very smart player so you could be just sussing people out...but I can't help but get the sense you are really working some kind of devious master plan....just my hunch...not sold on my own thought on you yet so for now...going to just watch.
laserblue...not said too much...but you are like me sharing the computer so I usually see you post about this much. You also don't give away alot but nothing really catching my attention.
sir hammer...another really smart player this game....feel you just might have a powerful role...not sure if it's evil or town...but for now..going to let the game play out and see what I think...although you are quieter than normal it appears and thankfully you spoke up today...otherwise I was getting nervous that you had to be a really bad guy...cause you are normally mr. investigator.
hammerbro....it is my first game with him...and he seems to have come in strong with the no-lynch issue...at the time it appears to me it was a townie point of view and could help the town...but then the arguement went another way...I am not totally sure how I feel at this point...I think some would see the no-lynch as a mafia idea...I can't be certain but his idea as he presented it didn't sound mafia to me...not sure how I think but at this point...see nothing straight away that convinces me either way on him.
mikeblue...VERY absent of late...he's normally very active...I think he needs to get in early and not this last minute deal...makes me suspicious to be honest.
Liverbird...new player or not...need to comment now really not good to be so quiet if you are townie because number one it doesn't help the town get to know you and have a chance to figure out whether you are with us or not...and number two makes it confusing because if you are townie and not helping us find mafia...then we are left to wonder if you are town and not a quiet new mafia player....know what I mean...it's time to bail the new kid card and get active...a free pass is for no one in this game....even newbies...
Miasg....congrats on the new kiddo...and you appear quite chipper this game...very unlike you so I sort of lean to thinking you are town...could be the new dad glow...not sure...but for now don't see much.
trick pony....hhhmmm...yo
u get me thinking as well...tit for tat voting is never fun or really good...normally folks will call you out on that pretty heavy...you are a new player and you do seem to have that kind of voting style...BUT...I'd like to see you more active in the game...and make sure you focus on the entire game...make sure if you are voting for someone it's not just because they voted for you...defend yourself and at least give the other person a chance to make up their mind...sometimes a vote is simply to stir you up...but I don't have too much to think on you now...holding my opinion for now.
I think I listed everyone...except of course the person I've voted for Footballnewby....UG
H! I voted for him yesterday to see if he'd come on....and say something...ANYTHIN
G! He's said nothing? Why should I change my vote...we have NOTHING to go on at all with him except to see he doesn't care to post anything since what...Monday. Sorry if you are townie...not helping us out much we are on about 12 pages now and one post? Not good enough....I don't like voting for someone that will not respond afterwards or do anthing to help the town out. It puts me in a terrible position as a townie...do I vote for someone that is on here playing the game and attempting to participate....or take my chances not voting for anyone and let mafia most likely bandwaggon someone off at the last minute...or take my chances that footballnewby is mafia and isn't bothered to participate because he knows he's safe??? I just don't know..I will be SOOO mad if another game a townie just stops playing and we vote them off and half of us that vote are townies as well and get distracted by looking at who voted for him and slowly kill ourselves off....I'm debating not voting at all...but that is never good...makes me feel like I'm not really playing the game but sliding by and you get called out for it.
I have to say I see no real reason to take my vote off Footballnewby unless anyone can add something to my thinking to change my mind or if He will actually care to log back in....has TCH PM'd him to see if he's even playing the game anymore?
Is he just not at work? Is it possible he's got a reason for being absent? I'd remove my vote right away if anyone had any information to offer for his absence that is valid?
