My Little Pony: Friendship is Mafia

[Nikose Tyris]

And nothing you or RPG are saying is changing my opinion whatsoever. I'm not changing my vote. Each person who comes in to support your side of the arguement, if/when you turn up scum, will then also be highly suspicious.

Edit: Or Sif for that matter.

Because at this point it's literally the only actual thing we have to go on. Nothing of substance beyond this has actually happened. There's no reason not to pursue it.

Nikose, Geminex posted the conversation. Why would he do that if he were Mafia or a Mason?

At this point, I am feeling Nikose as scum enough to Friendship the hell out of: Nikose. He made that incredibly suspicious post a while back, and now he's trying to get a lynch started based on some incredibly shaky logic.

Let's see where this leads us.

Eh. There's a bunch of things. My arguments for Bookie, for one. Your own behavior, for another. Neither are any more insubstantial than the argument you're making.

That post alone is probably lynch-worthy.

*snuggles Bookworm* I already explained that it was a ploy to prove his town-ness, Bookie.

Also, I was acting like an idiot because there's literally nothing else to accomplish first day. At best, it's a random guess based on intuition. At worst, it's a no-lynch. Day 1 actions are only part of a larger picture by day 2.

However, if it makes you feel better, go ahead and Vote/Friendship the hell out of me. If I had an important role, I'd probably be playing smarter. Or not!

I'm actually not sure. I'm going after Gem/Sif/Smarty because honestly, they're the closest thing to a logical takedown right now. I've been shown nothing contrary to that yet, either- I still say it could have easily been an edited chat log, and that someone else might have reminded them they aren't supposed to talk about shit outside the game. A quick edit, a post in the thread to seem falsely contrite about it and bam, clean slate in the eyes of the guy who saw them doing the actual posting.

And if that guy wasn't nightkillable I'm sure he'd say something like "I was the one who saw all this go down." but I'm not so I didn't see anything.

On the lynching of inactives, I don't actually think it does hurt us to lynch them at any point. Last time I checked (it was a while ago, so this count may be off now) there were 5 inactives. Assuming there are around 5 mafia, and the worst possible case is that none of them get lynched at all, then town can still lose a day before the mafia outnumbers them, because the last active townie will be killed off the previous night, after spending the whole day arguing with a room full of mafia.

At that point the game is over despite the fact that mafia hasn't technically won, because there's no one left to defend the town. So we may as well lynch the inactives, they're not actually doing anything to contribute to the safety of the town if all they're doing is sitting there taking up space so the mafia can target the active players and then just kill off the inactives for an easy victory. The more townies who're talking, the harder it is for the scum to decide who to kill off.

Of course that's the worst possible scenario and probably won't happen, but
lynching them early at least stops the scum from trying to hide in inactivity. The only downside I can really see is that some of them may be town power roles that are trying to get by unnoticed, but you can still get by unnoticed by posting something, as apposed to looking like you've just abandoned the game and forfeited your role completely. I mean if you're trying to look inactive to avoid a mafia kill because you have a town power, then you can at least make your presence in the game known by making at least 1 post so that we know who's playing.

Saying that though it might just also encourage any scum who're trying to hide in annonymity to start posting as well, which is of course, the point, because the more they post the more likely someone is to catch them in a lie.

[Nikose Tyris]

That's a decent point, Hawk, but honestly what if they're all town? kill 5 inactives = 5 less town = balance thrown way outta whack.

Lynchin' one of the three bickerings here [Gem, Myself, Bookie] Would at least put a suspicious cast on the other two in that bicker circle, giving a lead. [unless one of us was legitimately a scum and you picked right on the first go round, at which point, fuckin' flowers and celebrations, amirite?]

I'm just generally opposed to lynching inactives since power roles tend to be more excited to play than vanillas.
