Brad... Vote for whomever the rest of us want To Vote For? Kinda Noncommittal, AS Well As Wiping Any Possibility Of A Mislynch Away From You. That's what I always do in these games no matter what side I'm on you can look at my play history I always vote for whoever the town votes for to insure we get a lynch because as I said we need to lynch someone each day phase and if its a mislynch well we can look at the voting patterns and see how everybody voted, I'm not taking any responsibility away from myself I should be looked at to in the voting patterns, I say this every game I'm in it is important we perform a lynch during the day phase even if its my own. Well I like everybody else usually goes with the town for the first day phase since there really isn't that much information in later day phases I go with my gut feelings and if I don't agree with a lynch I will try not to vote for that person if I can help from it but I never have any real gut feelings on Day 1 so the best thing I can do is go with the crowd.

But it is Day 1, and if we can't gather any kind of evidence for a likely suspect before the deadline, then the bandwagon is our only option left. I don't like it either, but if it needs to be done, then it needs to be done. The one thing we should avoid more than mislynching is having NO lynch at all. We won't get any kind of answers that way.

I think it's forgivable for Day 1. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Brad's current "strategy" is identical to most everyone else right now. Day 2 on the other hand, that would be more clearly scummy to me.
As it stands, only Asher and I have cast votes so far. I must say that a shot in the dark feels easy to commit to. No information, but also no real deception game yet. Do Mafia get to talk before the game starts?

BRB, in the games that I have been mafia, I was notified prior to the game who my mafia cohorts were; wasn't able to talk to them directly however until the first Night phase. I feel that by going with the lynch, that is wiping away any responsibility about a mislynch. And voting patterns... I think I showed what those mean in the Batman game

It puts everyone on an even playing field for the first night...well, as much as a shot in the dark can be even I guess.

I think I showed what those mean in the Batman game To be fair, one Mafia will usually vote the others to look town, just like you did. That doesn't mean we should discount them entirely. They should be used to supplement an argument, not be the while argument. That being said, what does everyone think about Asher's claim about Boiler Room Brawler?

Whoa, this thread moved fast from last night.
Anyway, I'll probably withhold my vote for now. I'll echo what practically everybody else said about Day One being a huge drag, so I'll try to make an informed vote the best I can with the little info that's out there.

I think it is a situation of towns getting into each other throat.

While I'm hardly the unbiased person you're looking for, I will say that nowhere in Batman 2 (my first game) did anyone invoke KCALM, which we could have used a couple of times.

My only Scum experience is Cult, which naturally means I didn't start the game as such and of course the Cult Leader would have no one to talk strategy with if they wanted when the game starts. 2. Agreed. It's too bad the first lynch is almost necessarily groundless, but it's a necessary evil. 3. Yes. Yes you did. That was a hard learned lesson for me.

Bandwagons aren't ideal but they are completely excusable on day one. It's a shot in the dark either way but some activity beats no activity.

Seems like we're going to be bandwagoning this phase. While I don't necessarily like it, it does have it's benefits this day phase. We don't really have a read on anyone so far, and we do need a lynch this phase. Sure, the odds of us getting Mafia the first go-round may not be the best, but it's at least worth a shot. If we don't try, we'll be in a bigger hole come Day Two.
Obviously it would suck if we lynch a town. But by picking up voting patterns, or at least seeing how people vote and looking into why they vote a certain way, we might be able to spot and pick off Mafia that way.
And Town really needs a win folks. Especially after the last game...

I agree that we need a lynch, but saying that bandwagoning is excusable gives scum an easy out to help lynch a townie. we should definitely keep that in mind.

Maybe there are some outliers, but I can't think of a single Mafia game I've been in where a Day One lynch didn't take out a townie. Again, there may be outliers, but none that I've seen.

You wasn't apart of them but there was two games were Lodi was the first one lynched and he turned out to be the Godfather in both games I think there might of been another game were a mafia member was lynched first don't remember off hand.

EBWOP: Both those Lodi Lynches were Day 1 lynches, at least one of them was for sure the other might of been a Day 2 lynch I don't remember. I remember the first one was WWF '88 Mafia which I ran Lodi (Bret Hart) was Godfather and Day 1 he was the one lynched.

I get that but the only other option is to sit and wait for at least one of us to get taken out. It's not a good situation but I would prefer having a chance to get some scum than having no chance.

I get where your coming from, but we can't just throw a dart at somebody's picture and hope for the best. We need a suspect that people can agree on, which is difficult to get in the first Day Phase, because the Town doesn't know who to trust so early, and The Mafia tries to make the best of that by pointing a finger and hoping it can lead us in knocking ourselves down a peg. If we did go for a Day One Bandwagon, is there anybody you'd be confident on using it on at the moment? And if you do have somebody, can you go into detail on why, instead of saying "Him because I'm suspicious of him.''
