Lots of awkward knee-jerkiness around my semi-joke vote. I'll keep it there for now, while other are checking in (and hopefully doing more than that, unlike the last two posts)

Agreed, but its more "needlessly defensive" than knee-jerky if you ask me.

Could be something there I guess.

You're included in my statement

Could you explain what you mean by "needlessly defensive"?

Also hello latecomers, welcome to the game.

it's pretty self evident what I mean if you read the posts quoted...

but if you need me to explain, all the "I did not this" and "I did not that" in that exchange stemming from a very innocuous exchange seems needlessly defensive...*shrug*

Hello! I have arrived! Not too early and not too late! I guess that makes me perfectly average which is what many of my teachers called me back in the day.

Vote Thyrllan

For being "perfectly average"...

Perfectly acceptable!

I find this interaction coupled with Shel's jumping around interesting. Could just be early game word play.

[Thyrllan]

Man, I think I understand why Mafia has been slowly dying. It's just hard to keep up with it these days. So busy.

Anyway, we have a day or so left.

There's an irony to be appreciated

[Tennes]

Is middle of Day 1 to early for batshit signalling theories? Because I have one.

Let's look at Skintick. In their interaction with Prazec, they say in all caps they are EXTREMELY trustworthy. Why the caps?

21 people, holy shit. I think that's the biggest game I've been in. We should have global lockdowns more often.

Can we at least have a few weeks where those of us with kids can offload them on other people again?

I must agree. Them not being able to do anything is probably the worst part of all of this

We should start them on mafia!

I thought you were supposed to instill into your children that lying is really, really bad first, and only teach them that it's okay under certain circumstances after they've internalized the former?

You mean that I can't trust you to tell the truth when you're playing mafia?

I am EXTREMELY trustworthy (my upbringings were painfully strict). Can't vouch for the other's though.

Then they name drop Prazec and Shelthata:

Skintick, on 11 May 2020 - 11:28 PM, said:

Shelly and Prazec both have rock-humping avatars.

I got confused by those 2 back-to-back posts.

Then they respond to Okral and the mention of 3/4 makes me think of 4 killers mentioned in the intro.

Okral Lom, on 12 May 2020 - 12:02 AM, said:

I feel insecure about my avatar. No rocks. No epic sky or landscape. Just a generic brown bear in a generic forest.

You think you've got self-esteem issues? I'm a sexually frustrated salamander stuck 3/4 through jumping a tree branch.




And in the game.

On top of that, Skintick is kinda chill and joking around with people but the moment Aranatha humorously questions their vote, they immediately respond with a serious explanation.

Skin is giving massive sympish vibes but then a symp case on Day 1 is always a massive reach. Thoughts?

Anyway,

remove vote.

[Skintick]

sorry, all, My VPN tunnel to the work PC keeps dropping, so I had to kill all browser windows to keep the precious Wi-Fi bandwidth flowing.




As usual, if someone's making a symp case, the logical conclusion should be, who is that person trying to symp. I never get tired of having to repeat that.

Good catch. I was looking at the list of who had posted in the thread and counted EmperorMagus.

[Path-Shaper]

Whilst the killers decided where they were going to hit, the residents of many boroughs talked amongst themselves. Facebook posts, WhatsApp groups and even zoom party chats were ablaze with questions like, who could these people be? And why are they doing it?

Some people thought it conspiracy. There are no killings, it's fake news. Others show outrage that people would break lockdown. No thoughts for the dead but more for the living. The day ticked on.

It is day one. 24 hours remaining.

21 people left alive.

Ok. So you think Skintick is a symp, and that he is symping one of us. But he even says to not lynch the symp, lynch the one he’s symping.

What shitty symp would tell you to lynch his killer?

I’ve had a couple drinks and probably should go to bed, but I’m not getting this logic.

[Tennes]

I'm not saying they're symping one of you. I'm saying they're signalling to the three of you, ergo symping all three*. And Skin's vote is on Thyr, so how is that lynching their killer?

* I know, I know. Usually not a fan of signalling cases myself. This one kinda struck me though. I remember yesterday noticing the 'EXTREMELY trustworthy' bit. Today the '3/4' thing stood out to me but there's a lot of alts so I didn't actually clock that this was from the same person until I re-read the thread this evening. When I realized that I was like HUH maybe there's something there.

There's not really much to make a case on at this point, so all theories are welcome at this point to get the game going. Just to clarify, are you thinking that Skintick said "3/4" in order to signal to killers that he's a symp? I can buy that part, but I'm not sure about the name dropping part. Seems like a crappy symp that would start listing the killers day one. UNLESS, the name dropping part was an accident, and the 3/4 part was code (now I'm grasping at straws with you). I do have Sheltatha and Skintick noted down as possible symps since it seems like they're trying to spread chaos and get us headed in the wrong direction, but it almost seems TOO obvious at this point. Hard to tell the difference between a roled player and an eager beaver who just wants to get the game going.

Of course, you and I are in trouble now. I've posted after you mentioned my name, which makes me seem like I'm defending myself (I need to go afk for about 5 hours, and this game is far too quiet. Someone needs to post!). You, on the other hand, are likely to be accused of grasping at straws to turn the vote from Thyr (making you a potential symp or killer).

Alas, this is the curse of early Mafia posting. The smart ones are staying quiet. Just so you quiet people know, your silence is also suspicious!

My thinking is this one way too brazenly silly to be scum.
