So as Dasmos already alluded to, it seems like Pokepal chose to not send PM's to the townies without roles. But not only that, he also had an inconsequential day 0, meaning there would be a lack of PM conversations compared to the beginning of other games.
This points to those who participated in Day 0, especially early Day 0, as being the most likely to have a role. I came out and said I was the doctor. Taking me at my word that leaves four mafia and one investigator. This is a list of people who posted that day in order:
1.Silenced
2.Stratos
3.Khushrenada
4.NWR_insanolord
5.Mop_it_Up
That's five people. And it can't be a coincidence that I'm the 6th person to post.
7.Tophatant123
8.Lucario
9.Nickmitch
10.Tofufury
Posted later on that day as well.
So from this one clue, we can constrict our view of who's mafia down to a select few. This makes Silence the most likely in my book.
Your thoughts?
So, to make sure I'm not missing anything, you're only accusation of me being likely Mafia is that I posted early in the Day 0 thread? Not a good reason. At least in regards to me.
If you look at my post history, I started hosting Safe Words 10 on Friday and created a new thread series I'm eager to see how it develops called Run the Series. As such, I've been checking in regularly on the forums to watch over those threads. On late Saturday night, early Sunday morning, I checked in on the forums to see if a player had posted a guess in Safe Words and it turns out one did. That player was eliminated by their guess and I made a new post alerting TofuFury, who had to choose the next bomb word, that they were up.
When I woke up on Sunday, I logged on to the forums right away to see if TofuFury had made a selection for the next Safe Words category because I try to keep my Safe Words games moving along. As such, I check in on the forums regularly. He had not made a guess yet but I noticed the Mafia Forum had a new post. I checked it out and there was a Day 0 thread. I double checked my pm box but there was no role in it. Wondering if Pokepal148 was still sending out the roles after creating the thread since it had been newly created and maybe I was just early, I checked in on the thread and saw his blurb about not sending townies any pm message of their role. So, my goal at that point was to give Pokepal148 a hard time and criticise his hosting ability and that I did by posting that it could give players a chance to learn the identity of the detective. Perhaps sensing this flaw, I think Pokepal148 left the thread open for most of Sunday before starting Day 1.
As for me, I then knew the game was on and so would keep up to date with the thread as I continued my hosting of Safe Words and checking on my Run the Series thread as well. Sometimes a person is just active on the forums because they like to be and have other things they are posting about and not because they were given a role in a game.
