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?

I've seen it work verrrry effectively before in games I've played elsewhere. Certain people just crumble under pressure.

Ok I edited the first post I'm going do this in Episode Format like Queen Mab did the reason I had it start at Episode 31 was because on DBZ: Abridged the last episode was Episode 30 so obviously the next episode would be Episode 31.

Yes, it has been done. Called reaction fishing. Works better when you don't tell them you are doing it tho.

Yeh,caughting Mafia off-guard is the best way to do it.

Well basically if you have a plan that involves manipulation ,don't tell anyone

Big Fan here!

I love it so much.Watched every episode so far

[Big Bad Brad]

Honestly I think DBZ: Abridged is one of the best webseries ever even if you don't like the original DBZ I don't see how you couldn't love Abridged. Basically I'm saying you don't have to be a fan of the original show to enjoy Abridged and it basically makes fun of a lot of stuff that puts people off about the original show its very entertaining.

All the episodes are here and they are literally like 10 minutes apiece except for Episode 10 & Episode 30 which was the end of Season 1 and Season 2

I strongly recommend this to anybody who hasn't watched it some of the funniest stuff I ever saw.

But you don't have to know the show to enjoy the game just like True Blood only a handful of people in the game actually watched that show but it was still an enjoyable game.

@produceman: Why the suspicion for me?

dunno really. Something about you seems a bit off, probably because i've yet to play Mafia with you. Mr. Z Natural asked for a list and i came up with one. To be perfectly honest i'm not sure about anyone other than myself being town right now. I'm gonna be like Stone Cold and employ some DTA.

[Big Bad Brad]

Question has Knailsic posted at all this day phase? He told me awhile back he might get his power cut off then he came back and said everything was fine and since then I haven't seen him online.

Edit: After looking at his recent posts one of the last ones he posted was to tell me he might have to drop out.

If he doesn't post by the end of the day phase (Sunday) I think I'll probably have to replace him.

Yeah, 'cause that's a suspicious reason to suspect someone. Real suspicious...

Don't take too much offense to it. Day 1 votes are just like that, sometimes. You get too mad about it, it tends to fall under the "me thinks doth protest too much".

Also I hope I'm being active enough, I forgot how fast these big games move sometimes. I took a nap yesterday and there were 3 new pages when I woke up.

[MrBRulzOK]

Yeah, these larger games always tend to be active, at least early on. Then the more active players we lose the more it tapers off. Really, it usually takes a big event going down for people to flood the thread after that.

I'm giving myself a few days to tabulate my own list. I don't want to jump the gun and accuse people early on without good enough reason to. My strategy has always been to wait and see, and that's exactly what I plan on doing in this game as well.

[No Longer a Produceman]

I'd rather be suspicious of someone i can't get a read on than foolishly trust potential Mafia. I said my list wasn't exactly 100%. I was asked to submit a list and now i'm getting criticized for it. I don't get it.

[RKTaker]

well the thing is we're just trying to figure out why we're on your list and when you say it's just a vibe and it isn't something that anyone of us has said or done it's kinda wierd

Ok I understand that. If someone said i was suspicious I'd wanna know why too.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Yeah, if anybody gets accused of being mafia on this day phase, defend yourself but don't take it personally. There's a lot of goofy reasons to suspect someone on Day 1. It just comes with the territory.

[Waffel113]

Regards to Double H, I'm with Cage. I haven't seen one second of the show.

Or DBZ. I don't like my chances at reading people.
