Live Action Mafia

The game has begun! Discuss game matters here.

To vote, send me a Private message. Make the subject line "Day 1: "Vote for [person]" or "Day 1: Vote change from [person] to [person]." You can change your vote any time before midnight. The option to vote No-Lynch exists.

One thing I want to make clear: not voting is not the same thing as voting "no lynch." If more people vote "no lynch" than vote for any single person, then nobody is lynched. If, say, only one person votes, and that person votes for X then X is lynched.

AKA use No Lynch to sway a vote and spare a life.

Don't vote if you want to look suspicious/forgetful and let the town make a decision without you.

Don't forget to vote. Otherwise the mafia can have a free kill.

So guys.... Umm like it's 11:40 and no discussion has happened? We should probably figure out some sort of decision... even if it's no lynch.

Well I'm gonna assume people don't check this enough to reply before midnight. I'm going no lynch, we don't really enough info yet. Somebody should say something.

agreed, there really isn't any information at all.. I thought that someone had to die before midnight? oh well, time is pretty much up, I'm just going to vote.

Phillip accused Patrick of saying "If I were Mafia, I'd kill you and take your search warrant," which is mildly suspicious, though probably just trolling.

Despite being asked repeatedly to post this statement on the forum, Philip did not (which is why I'm posting this instead). That is also mildly suspicious.

Quick: Are we lynching someone? Lynching someone at random is strategically better to no-lynch, since it denies Mafia another free chance to kill someone. But it feels just mean to kill someone on day 1 for no reason.

I'm voting for Patrick, though no-lynch will probably win.

I'm voting for Phillip. There's a group of us who are splitting our votes to set up tie breaks for later if people decide to vote no lynch today. I'm listening to Alex right now. Too tired to really think about plans right now and I trust him.

Philip was asked to bring his search warrant to foo really quickly in case he is lynched.

Sorry, I rushed. I meant to BMF.

I too am voting to lynch Patrick because Alex is advising me.

Dudes! I hope you're not doing stuff just because I suggest it!

Let me explain the "setting up tiebreaks" to those unclear about the term. The tiebreak mechanic means that when votes to lynch are tied, you first look back to the previous day to see had more votes, then the day before, and so on. This might seem minor, but affected the last game hugely.

So, if someone is suspicious, but not enough to lynch them now, it might be worth it to have one person put it a vote for the suspicious party, in case they are suspected more in the future, and a vote against them needs to be pushed through against Mafia opposition.

Well, for the moment, I trust you because you've played this game a lot and what you're saying kind of makes sense, Alex.

I would just like to say that I wasn't told to bring the search warrant until one minute before midnight, and I didn't post about the incident because I did not want to be the first person to shout accusations before I understood Patrick's full intentions. I just wanted to scout some opinions about the matter first, but I didn't want to throw all suspicion on Patrick just because of a silly comment and hilarious chase throughout the dorm.

Hilarious chase through the dorm? Please do tell.

Philip didn't want to give me his search warrant, so he ran up to his brother's room to hide. I told him he couldn't hide forever.
