Probably Wednesday or Thursday.

Let's say Thursday afternoon.

I'm usually free then.

Then I'd say its best to get a majority rather than wait for the time to run out. I'm inclined to agree with Smarty, despite his being a dirty communist. Fawfulcopter has actually been inactive since the 5th it seems, so if he is on either side, mafiate or town, he's probably just fodder.

Nevermind, whoever is bodyguard just protect the HELL out of snake, he's gotta be the PO or some shit, this is adorable.

Entertaining you is precisely what I'm here for, Nik.

I'm almost going to regret convincing everyone to kill you off because the game will be much less fun without you.
But you reek of the scent of the scum, which means you have to die. =/

[Nikose Tyris]

Well I'm at college, so if you kill me off can you do that before I get home so I don't get into some dickering argument? I'll be home around 5:30 PM EST. if you let me live till then I suppose I should defend myself normally? :P

[also did your arguement actually sway anyone or is everyone just going 'lolsnake'?]

[Mr.Bookworm]

Alduin was culted night 0.

The logical flaw

In your deceitful planning

revealed to all

RPG is serial Killer.

Well, yes, but I try not to judge peop-oh you meant in mafia, yeah no.

Snake is probably going to die by mafia kill night one.

Probably, yeah.

Bob the merc is Cult leader.

There's no one named Bob the Merc playing this game.

USSR is not communism. What yo talking about?

assuming that a monkey could write a Shakespearean play. (Which, if you're Smarty, is apparently quite easy to believe.)

Don't be silly. Monkeys have a far better understanding of dynamic character and subtlety than Shakespeare ever did.

...No, actually because predicting potential Mafia night kills without the context of power role knowledge is, believe it or not, a tried and true Scum strategy.
...Town, generally speaking, is far more worried about who to lynch than worrying about who may (or may not) die N1. Predicting the activity of what Scum will do, particularly on D1, is an absolute exercise of futility for Town.

Scum, however, benefits by making a prediction that someone will die N1 and then not killing that person N1. If townies eventually collectively buy into a repeated notion that "Snake (or anyone else), if he is Town, will die tonight because X," scum will easily yet subtly guide Town into a mislynch. If Nik is scum his entire ploy would therefore be: "I'll establish I believe that Snake is almost certainly Town now, then express abject disbelief as he continues to survive (all the while knowing he's alive because we're not targeting him), paint a bullseye on his back and let others deal the deathblows."

Also, the problem with Nik's posts is that his lack of elaboration prevents any of us from knowing whether he's actually being serious in anything he types or joking. Which, again, is a vagueness strategy that benefits Scum. Nik could totally play off any comment he makes as "Nik being Nik." I'd rather not spend the whole game questioning the sincerity of every one-sentence statement he makes.

NOTE: Even in typing this I am aware of the likelihood that I am overestimating the crap out of Nikose, and out of everyone playing this game. Assuming Nikose of all people would be playing intelligently and making such gambits as scum is kind of like assuming that a monkey could write a Shakespearean play. (Which, if you're Smarty, is apparently quite easy to believe.)
Nonetheless, I'm sticking by my guns and also suggesting to you all that I think Town Nik would be much more talkative than this; I think there's a greater probability Scum Nik would feel a sense of responsibility towards his teammates and subsequently tone down his usually chatty behavior to benefit his team.

As Town 'Nilla, Nik would totally like be "I AM CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE YOU PUNKS," and he'd create some controversy. I know you Nik! You would!

Umm Nikose was clearly joke voting.

Mafia 101: if your about to be lynched and have a powerrole that is pro town FFS reveal it so we don't accidently murder an important townie. I made that exact mistake last game mainly because i felt the chances of town winning were 0. I shouldn't have made that mistake though.

Edit: don't reveal your role though unless you will be lynched with out doing so.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

I'm not as worried about town lynches as I am the mafia murdering me in my sleep! Consequently what's the etiquette on murdering newbies so soon in the game? Because that would be totally uncool.
