Live Action Mafia

First item: who did Lily protect and why was there no announcement about it?

I protected Daniel Grazian. I suspect there hasn't been an official announcement yet because God is hosed with PMs.

Let's get a random lynch lined up for today in case there's no kill/we can't catch the killer by evening. I believe tjhance was being kicked around; is he still eligible?

(tjhance--if you're reading this, come and defend yourself!)

tjhance was under suspicion earlier for dmz's death, I don't know if anyone suspects him currently.

I would defend myself if there is some reason you guys think I'm suspicious.

If you guys want to lynch a random person and pick me, there isn't really anything I can do or say.

Travis seems as reasonable of a choice to me as any other, in case nothing happens today.

Also, I'm on lunch break right now. I will be pretty much unavailable until ~ 6pm

I was expecting moar kills today because of rogues. Oh well. Silly rogues.

Anyone want to coordinate inspectors for schmolly, or should we wait longer for other kills?

/wantmorediscussion

Wait a bit longer for other kills

Even if we're not picking investigators yet, do we have any suspects in Molly's death?

I'm not heading over to Random tonight, so if you all come up with any interesting suspects/ ideas for lynching tonight, please let me know.

My vote is for mannes based on alibi.

Mannes seems as good as anybody. I could see lynching him unless he does something between now and lynch time to convince me otherwise (e.g. claims a demonstrable power role) or we get a better suspect.

I assume we'll at least investigate him if there isn't another kill before lynch time? (Don't do it yet...)

DGrazian and I advocate lynching Ashley3 if nothing else comes up; she is holding a mic and completely inactive (hasn't posted anything). Redistributing the mic would be nice.

Sounds good. I was just about to bring up the fact that Ashley3 hasn't really done or said anything all game

I don't think that lynching an inactive is a good plan for town. It is highly unlikely that there is an inactive mafioso, as their fellows wouldn't allow them to be. Thus someone who is inactive is probably town. I would put the odds that someone is mafia and active as at least twice the odds that someone is mafia and inactive. So clearly we should lynch actives.

I support lynching Ashley 3.

As a counter-point to Jacobian, note that having inactives around does hurt the town; their items don't get used, and they don't vote which gives the town less power.

While it's best to lynch a mafia, lynching an inactive townie is better than lynching an active townie.

Lynching ashley3 sounds fine.

Also, it's not clear that mafia is actually being particularly active. Heck, I was expecting at least two deaths today because I figured rogues would be chafing at the bit. So given apparent mafia inactivity / lack of coordination, I think ashley3 isn't a bad choice.

Lynching ashley3

As a counter-counterpoint, inactive towns are difficult for mafia to kill (as no one knows who they are). We're kind of doing them a favor by killing off an inactive, which has the expected value of a hard kill for the mafia to complete...

Sure, I'm up for the lynch of ashley3, solely because she has a mic.

Per DGrazian's advice, I will vote for a different inactive (vmayar) in case ashley3 turns out to be a politician. I suggest everyone else continues voting for ashley3.

Jacobi, I would agree except empirically from past games, players who were inactive at the beginning of the game don't do anything later. 1 mafia can handle 15 inactive players.

I not convinced on the value of lynching inactives as a general policy, but I am sold on getting a Microphone. Given that Josh estimated a Microphone/Receiver pair to be worth roughly two townies, we're getting a lot of value here.

I guess I'll also vote vmayar for tie break purposes...

A point in support of lynching inactives: they also hurt town in making in really hard to elect anyone anything as the game goes on. Multiple times has it been crucial to elect a new mayor or police officer when there's roughly 10 players left.

In a backhanded way, Alex just agreed with me...

I have never felt so honoured =D.
