Conscripting doesn't waste the kill for the day. Here are my current theories about what happened yesterday:
1) The mafia just didn't do anything yesterday. I can think of two reasons for this: either they didn't have their pants on, or they were paying attention but just didn't have the opportunity to kill anyone. The latter reason would suggest someone who doesn't live in Random, since it's been proven previously that it's an easy place to get away with killing people if you know your way around. The former reason would make me less suspicious of MollyK and wcheang because both had ample opportunity to kill me yesterday and neither took the chance. Also Dalton to some extent, but we were never within murder range of each other and I probably could have gotten away if he'd tried anything.
2) The mafia conscripted someone and didn't realize they could kill someone. This would make me more suspicious of people who have played the game before, since they are less likely to have re-read the rules and remember that conscription does not take up the kill for the day. I would not include Dalton in this suspicion, since he is the type of person who has the entire rules doc memorized, and I'm pretty sure I heard him talking to Dgrazian about it at some point. Thinking about it, they also could have conscripted and just not had the opportunity to kill anyone, which I haven't thought through enough to know what information that could give us.
Or they could just be a troll. Anyway, these are my current thoughts. I would love to hear other people's opinions. Talking is better than not talking.
