Vote Dasmos.  Just because a 3-way stand off makes things interesting.

I've been asked via PM what happens in a tie.

It's very simple. No one will be voted out. In the past, I've had extra time for tiebreakers but with around 48 hours to choose a majority vote, if you can't reach it by then, I doubt 30 more minutes is going to solve anything.

Second, there is the townie role of Babe the Pig which can solve ties or possibly create them. The point is, there is an ability already in the game that has influence on voting. Of course, it could end up removed from the game over time if the player is eliminated but for now there is something that can act in cases of ties as a final decision of whether the vote stays jammed up or solved. This role can change anyone's vote even if the person they change hasn't voted that day.

Finally, I don't have a problem with nobody being voted out in the day. If players want to jam up the vote and take their chances with the night actions, I feel that's a valid strategy and I suppose if players wanted to vote abstain and that was the majority vote, then we could always end the day early that way instead of waiting for a majority vote against a player. As a player, it's not an option I'd choose but I'm just hosting this game and I recognize that other players see things differently than I do so I'm not going to dictate everyone play as I would and deny the option.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

Actually, this breaks the tie and puts Dasmos in the lead with 4 votes. /Maxi impersonation over.

Wow, there has been a lot of action going on in here. The first day is often guesswork so I don't know if there is much to glean just yet, but since the person from my first vote hasn't even shown up yet I think I'll poke around elsewhere.

If a tie is going to mean nobody dies, we may want to consider intentionally doing that today. We're way more likely to knock out a townie than a mafia member if we're voting based on nothing and just randomly bandwagoning somebody. Holding out a day gives time for people to use their roles and more information to come out.
Insanolord is a terrible moderator.

God, two votes already? Without any explanation? Smells like mafia!

Going to VOTE THENORTHSEA as an act of self-preservation.

Also did Khush steal the cat as his animal? Unacceptable!
Mafia's right! Who votes on the first day? :rolleyes:

Vote Dasmos

I was gonna agree with Insanolord, but Dasmos's post still bothers me. An act of self-preservation would have him vote for Stratos instead of NorthSea. He went for a tie instead of the lead.

Explain yourself and I'll change my vote to Stratos or abstain for a tie.

Heads up. Going to be out for awhile so the day thread will probably be open until 12:45 EST. Night actions will have a 12 hour limit this game so no rush on those either. That said, if everyone who is eligible has submitted a night action and there is no change to those actions for an hour then I'll start a new day before the 12 hour limit is up.

I had written my post before I saw Lucario's vote for Stratos and didn't realise that meant he had two votes already, so I didn't change.

Alright. Did you decide something? Guess we'll find out. Day is over. Night action phase now begins. You have a full 12 hours if needed.

Final tally:

Dasmos - 6 votes
TheNorthSea - 4 votes
Khushrenada - 1 vote
nickmitch - 1 vote
TheNorthSea - 1 vote
TOPHATANT123 - 1 vote
Stratos - 1 vote

Babe the pig changed stevey's non-vote to a vote for TheNorthSea in case anyone is wondering how I got my figures. That means nearly every player voted. That's a pretty good voting turnout in any game. There were so many votes, even I had one cast against me and I'm not even playing! Crazy.

But alas, poor Dasmos. You cruel, fickle mob! You have taken out one of the titans of Mafia games on Day 1 and on his 50th game anniversary even! May you find a golden peace in death that you were unable to find in life.
