Dragonball Z: Abridged Mafia Day Phase #2

[Mochi Lone Wolf]

yeah, one day isn't a good judge of activity.

[TOO SWEET]

Exactly. That list I made was purely because B Natural wanted a list.

If by the end of the day phase they haven't done anything, I say go for one of them. But not yet, because we literally just began.

[MrBRulzOK]

Indeed, these lists should not be taken as anything more than a guide as to who we should focus on. I figure if we have a good idea where to look that it'll give us more than enough time to decide who most warrants our attention. I figure it's a better alternative than to jump on the first person that raises even an ounce of suspicion like we have in the past.

I agree. Nobody's saying we have to rush into voting but let's not drag our feet either.

Do you have any suspicions right now or is it still too early for you to think of someone?

I've got nothing yet. Honestly, with Day 1, it's almost impossible to have any actual evidence when you're accusing someone. All we have is hunches right now.

[No Longer a Produceman]

Yeah day one lynches are almost never based on anything substantial.

[Mochi Lone Wolf]

Is a no-lynch out of the question?

[Classy Lady]

I honestly have no real hunches right now. When I do, I'll get back to you.

As for judging on inactivity, post count, etc, it is a wildly stupid thing to judge on, but you have to attempt to call someone out on something if you're going to lynch, even if it's just a hunch.

And a no lynch isn't entirely out of the question, but in my experience they tend to only happen when time runs out and we're all fresh outta ideas.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

"No Lynch" really isn't an option. Honestly, I would much prefer if someone just not vote than outright vote No Lynch.

Only one I suspect to be honest is Yami. Don't ask me why, it's just a major hunch right now

because he hasn't been very active?

If that's the reason, then I'm not saying a whole lot because it's my first time getting into these games, so I don't wanna say too much and risk giving the mafia any kind of edge, even on Day 1. I'm active, but not too active like most of you are. I'm being cautious, and I'm observing, so when I make my decision, it's not a blind vote.

But while we're on the subject, why do you think it's me? And more importantly, how come you don't want anyone asking why?

Its gonna sound stupid, i know, but I know your personality, and it is very weird to see you out of your element like this....especially not being sarcastic and stuff

Again, im sorry, but thats just me overthinking things

[No Longer a Produceman]

I had a question for everyone: what do you think about pressure voting? Would you consider it a viable tool for finding scum?

I think it can be useful because you may get scum to slip under the pressure. That being said, i'm hesitant to use it out of fear of Mafia bandwagoning a townie. I think that might not be as much of an issue here in a larger game though. What do you all think?

Ha ha, no need to apologize, I am intentionally dialing it back for the sake of the game. Again, this is because this is my first time, so I don't want to go crazy and give people the wrong signals. I'm being very cautious here.

Depending if I have a fun time with this game, and if I'm up for taking part in future games, I'll be more in my element then. ;D

[Dub H]

Yami doesn't want to end up screwing up like me in my first game...

Anyway,it looks like most posters want to Lynch...i guess that is settled then,now we need to figure out who is the best bet to lynch...

Can you give me an idea of how something like that would go?

[No Longer a Produceman]

My definition would be to put two or three votes on someone and gauge their reaction to being suspected as Mafia. I use their reaction to determine if they might be Mafia or not. Someone else may have a different definition.

[Connor Mackenzie]

The problem I see from this though is that even mentioning it would now have it in people's heads and could try and act accordingly couldn't they?

[Big Bad Brad]

Here is a question for everybody I don't know how to word this the right way so I'll try to explain it.

I'd like to do like Queen Mab did for True Blood and post the links to the write ups in the first post but not just post it like this

officialfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=forumgames&thread=460645&page=5#9231067

but post Day 1 Begins and when someone clicks Day 1 begins it will take them to that link.

I've seen others do that before I'm not sure if you don't know don't bother answering only respond to this if you know how to do it, I don't need 5 or 6 posts of people saying I don't know.

Here is an example of how she did it

officialfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=forumgames&action=display&thread=442405

to bad she locked the topic I can't quote the messages to see how she did that.

[TOO SWEET]

Instead of using the top url, click the "link to post" on the day/night writeup. Then when people click the link, they'll be directed immediately to that post.

Example:

This is a response to This post from Brad.

[TOO SWEET]

EBWOP: Re-read what you wrote.

Are you talking about the text part?

Because if so, do this and use brackets instead of parenthesis:

(Url=inserturl)Text that you want the link to say(/url)

[Big Bad Brad]

thanks both those posts work the first one was how I wanted it to appear and 2nd posts shows me how to get it to appear like that.
