Well TofuFury and Lolmonade have ganged up on me. For no reason. TofuFury did not vote until late on day 2. Which is something a mafia boss would do to keep attention away from themselves. When he did vote, the person he eliminated was a townie.
I did vote on Day 1 as the second vote for Pokepal.Warning: Incoming block of text.Alright, so I’m not surprised I have some votes against me today. I decided to do a throwaway vote to ThePerm (which I am removing) right after the round started as a way to help kickstart voting early. Before we begin, let’s take a look at how the votes went down the past two rounds.
Round 1:
Pokepal- (Tofu, Silenced)
Stratos- (Pokepal)
ThePerm- (Mop)
Lucario- (Lolmonade)
Mop it up- (Stratos)
Posted, but didn’t vote: Stevey, Lucario, nickmitch, insanolord, ThePerm
MIA: Dasmos, Stogi
Round 2:
Top- (Silenced, ShyGuy, Tofu)
TofuFury- (Top, Stratos)
Mop it up- (ThePerm, Stogi)
Stratos- [Mop it up (via vote changer)]
Posted, but didn’t vote: Insanolord, Stevey
MIA: Lucario, Lolmonade, nickmitch, Dasmos
So far, only one player has yet to post in a round (Dasmos), and two have made an effort to post every round and appear active, but have yet to cast a vote (Stevey, Insanolord), and Lucario posted in the day one thread, but has yet to vote. Also, two players (Silenced and myself) have both contributed to the deaths of every eliminated player so far. Take what you will from it.
We also have the Borg threat looming in the background. We don’t know if the Queen has been activated yet due to our voting. While the obvious strategy is to limit our voting to as few members as possible, this also gives the Mafia an advantage. If they can act early, throw out a vote, and get people to bandwagon out of fear of the Borg, then they control who we vote out. As dangerous as the Borg threat is, we can’t allow it to completely dictate our voting choices.
I’ll list the remaining players out,
bold the names of players with previous votes against them, and list a few thoughts of my own. These are just my general opinions at the moment about the game and are subject to change.
TofuFury- Man of mystery. While Silenced has accused me of being inactive, I’ve voted in every round so far. I tend to hold my cards to my chest a bit and observe while I get a feel for each Mafia game. You can choose to believe that or not, but that’s how I play.
Silenced- We’ve both voted for the eliminated player in every round so far. That happens sometimes, and he could very well be innocent. He’s been very proactive in voting early and getting targets on other people, which is a perfect strategy for the mafia.
Stogi- Stogi is much more reserved this game compared to other Mafia games. He’s dared people to vote for him in the past as part of his strategy. Is he telling the truth this time, or is it another bluff?
Stevey- Stevey has yet to vote in a round, but remains active in the threads. We know he’s paying attention, but is it due to being mafia?
Mop it up- I gave Mop the benefit of the doubt yesterday when I had to choose between Top and Mop. Obviously that didn’t turn out too well, but Mop could have one of the town roles, too, so it’s hard to say.
Stratos- Has voted in every round so far. Could be mafia, but it’s still early to tell.
Lucario- Lucario has been oddly quiet this game. Is it because he’s mafia and wants to keep his head down? Hard to say at the moment.
ThePerm- Active, and asserts that he’s a townie. While I voted for him earlier today, I’m taking it back for now.
Insanolord- Has yet to vote, but this isn’t out of the ordinary for him from previous games.
Lolmonade- Missed round two, but other than that, it’s hard to say.
Nickmitch- Posted in the first round, but has yet to make any votes. It’s not out of the ordinary for him to miss a round.
Dasmos- Has yet to make an appearance. Could be in order to go deep into the game without making any waves as Mafia.
So with that out of the way, I’m going to take a gamble and
Vote Silenced. This isn’t as much of a reactionary vote, but you’ve been guiding the game so far. You could be innocent, and I’m willing to hear an argument otherwise, but right now I’m taking my chances with this.
