not to mention that psychos are actually in the worst position, I think. if their symps get recruited, they're pretty much dead.

[Serc]

Actually, I agree with you, Mockra. They are the weakest of the teams, which makes me wonder if they have some kind of numerical advantage.

[Serc]

And as for the division by six... well... I wonder if that's a hint of how many killers there are.
Also, who's the Mystery Guest on the sign-up lists?

[Mockra]

probably another modcrafter, or a Westerosi....

or maybe Maccy again?

[Serc]

I dunno the modcrafters, but it could be a westerosi I suppose... Im kinda hoping its Gem, I've been concerned about her, she's vanished.

Well, the symps would still have to communicate to their new masters who the psychos are...but yeah, I see what you mean.

[Mockra]

She's been sick apparently.. though fairly active on facebook

well, for starters, knowing who the psychos are, converted symps can build cases on former masters with much ease... and that'd signal to the Necros who to watch out for.

[Serc]

Ah okay, cule You know, I think it would probably be in everyone's best interest to take out the Cult, they seem the biggest danger atm. I know I'd rather have one nk, then one kill and recruit...

I take your point. The only thing that balances the Necros' advantage is that the chances of them recruiting will never be especially high when they're only covering 1/6 of the players in the game. But I guess we'll know what's going on if/when nights end with fewer than average deaths.

[Serc]

Anomandaris, I want you to think about the roles for a second. They can have at least one guaranteed recruit a night.

[Anomandaris]

I have thought about the roles - the Necromancers get no knowledge of other players, so how can they guarantee they have someone who gets NKed on their list? They don't get any special information from their creature, after all.

[Serc]

Their creature can hint it in code or something. And Im assuming with 23 of us they get to block four tonight, thats a high chance of getting someone in fairness.
As we are going to get an inno down today in a lynch, lets face it, we could in all possibility be down four innos tomorrow.
I think if we have a witch, we might need our BP tonight, as I asked PS, and that would also negate recruitment.

[Emurlahn]

I'm here, though not many seem to be here. The beauty of time zone differences.

The issue regarding the Necros is, according to PS, they get 1/6 of the total players rounded down. So they can only choose 3 of the 23. So maybe they get lucky, or pick up code, but I don't think they can manage a recruit each night.

[Serc]

Its Mafia. We should always prepare for the worst.

[Mockra]

obviously, in the best traditions of mafia i am going off worst case scenario.

[Serc]

Glad someone else is. We have five watchers, does no one else have anything to say?
And Mockra, what do you think of the situation today?

[Path-Shaper]

It is day 1, 22 hours left in the day

23 players still playing, 12 votes to lynch, 12 votes for night

1 Vote Kessobahn (Anomandaris)
1 Vote Kaschan (Galain)
1 Vote Galain (Fener)
4 Votes Omtose (Ruse, Liosan, Kessobahn, D'riss)
1 Vote Thyrllan (Mockra)
1 Vote Emurlahn (Thyrllan)
2 votes Mockra (Omtose, Shadow)

12 have not voted: Ampelas, Emurlahn, Galayn Lord, Gamelon, Hood's Path, Kaschan, Korlat, Meanas, Rashan, Serc, Silanah, Tennes.

[Mockra]

Well, I know i'm inno
not sure what to make of the Rahan and Omtose's "reveal"--if it's true, aftert his gam eanyone trying it will be lynched day 1without thinking twice, but even if they ARE telling the truth, who the hell would believe it?

Kesso's attitude annoys me, but I don't vote based on how I feel.
no one else really stood out to me, tbh.

Well you'd expect it to negate recruitment if it gives everyone a BP...


I don't think it's a given that the Necros will spot their Creature straight away - depends on how much experience they all have. But it's best not to bank on ineptitude. Crunching some numbers, I reckon they've a 30% chance (very roughly) of hitting if they go completely randomly...so with a bit of deductive work I guess they could improve that to the point at which they'd be getting dangerous. 

The witch's BP seems like it might be a good idea tonight while it covers the most people, I agree.
