OT:


How did you make the active members show?

Owing to an oversight on the admins' part, I believe it's visible for everyone except ordinary non-staff users..... including Guest. So hit Logout, click your way back to this page, and have a look. Then log back in and poke the admins about it.

MMC has pointed out that there is a little button next to "Author" that opens and closes the box. Don't poke the admins xD

Kitten has always posted a lot in previous mafias, but she's also always been town. She's been active in chat, so rolling mafia could explain this change. However, I find it strange that she hasn't reacted to Onion's vote at all, so she might just not be paying much attention to this game. Still going to vote though.

Uh whoa whoa.

Just because I'm not talking doesn't make me mafia immediately. Tbh, I'm not talking because I'm a little overwhelmed with this mafia setup, and I'm incredibly confused. I've never had to refer back to the roles list so many times in a mafia game.

And, to refer to Linkcat's post, I've been busy and haven't been paying as much attention to the forums games as I have been in the past.

If nobody votes, Master of Death will die, probably. I'd rather lynch a random then a confirmed innocent.

May as well vote for a random player and start hunting amongst the inactives i guess.

he hasn't posted yet so may as well lynch so he avoids being modkilled- besides at this point we still know nothing

[CleanOnion]

I'd rather an inactive be killed by the mod than waste a lynch on them.

Lynching random people is most likely not going to accomplish much... after all there are still about 9 civvies (I could be wrong about this number) and 2 mods... that makes a 2/11 chance that we'll hit a mod... yeah... those are not very good odds, people. Even if we get one mod, now we've just decreased our odds to  1 in 10 for the next round. And those odds are even worse.
And the reason I'm inactive is because I'm busy with school and other communities and stuff (especially the Kingdom of Loathing... I've played that a lot lately xD)... and I'm a newbie at mafia, too, so I don't really know very much strategy about mafia, so I'd rather just wait for the veterans to vote and give their reasons because I know that they are better at mafia than I am. Just saying.
TL;DR: Lynching random people is most likely not going to kill any mod, just because people are inactive doesn't mean they're a mod. Just saying.

Not killing anyone is worse than having a chance of possibly killing a mod

Yes, I just realized that a chance of 0 is worse than a 2/11 chance.
But why does that make ME a culprit all of a sudden? Actually, if you think about it, if you lynch a random person and that person turns out to be a civvy, then the mafia will kill another civvy during the night, so actually we will be WORSE off, because now we have lost 2 civvies, as opposed to losing one if we vote No Lynch. Yes, there is a small chance that we will kill a mod, but then there will be a higher proportion of civvies to mods the next round, making it harder to kill the second mod, and we'll still lose a civvy during the night. So either we kill a civvy, and lose and extra civvy in the process, or, if we're lucky, we kill a mod, lose a civvy, and make the choice of who to lynch even harder. Maybe we should be looking at people who are, you know, acting suspicious before we start murdering random people  who are probably not going to be who youre looking for. Just saying.

TL;DR: No lynch means we lose 1 civvy, lynching a civvy means we lose two civvies, and lynching a mod means it will be harder to find the other mod and we'll still lose a civvy.
