Iviv has questioned my lack of "actual content" which is fair enough. We aren't going to be able to go forward unless we are all actively joining the debate. Up until now I had not formed any concrete theories on anyone though it is rather hard to do so on day 1 with no voting patterns to go on. In previous games I (as have everyone else) have been poor at judging people. Evidenced by the town not successfully outing a Mafia member. However, as Iviv has statistically shown, we do need to have a day 1 lynch to help our cause.
I voted for Chris for a couple of early reasons. Primarily the fact that he stated it was his first game yet comes across as a veteran. He has been at the forefront of all discussions and his voting has flipflopped between various people. Whilst none of the above are conclusive reasoning I haven't seen anything from anyone else that makes me want to vote for them more.
I've reread the whole thread (took far too long!) and made afew notes. So here are afew of my thoughts.
Voting patterns: there has been a lot of vote moving this time round, with the announced aim that it is to encourage lurkers to talk. Which in fairness it has. However, it could be a cunning ploy to act as a way of people being able to analyse voting patterns further down the line.
Targeting Lurkers/quiet people: I'm not sure this is the right stratagy. In previous games the mafia have been pretty vocal throughout and often led the town. This tactic may or may not be repeated but its certainly worth us looking at.
As for thoughts on individuals- again like anyone elses reasoning its not really based on fact as its too early in the game but for what its worth:
Those that I think are most likely town are: Kaiowas, Psymonkee, Pudney, Leprechaun and Egon.
Pookie Im not sure on, but can't pin down why.
Killswitch hasn't done anything either way to suggest allegiance to town or mafia, but equally he hasn't posted a great deal.
Shorttricky I thought in most probability is town- though his reasoning for voting Pookie was pretty poor. "I may have got it wrong if I am I'm sorry" Seems like an easy way out and a possible mafia excuse.
Shami's vote on Chris seemed a bit scummish at the time though in retrospect being so overt in a vote doesn't seem like a mafia thing to do. So I would say he's town at the moment.
Fortyseven's approach has been a little erratic. Though in particular his "experiment" to vote Pookie. There was absolutely no reasoning beyond this and seemed a bit odd.
Iviv has been leading the town and moving his vote around quite a lot. He has also been providing coaching on tactics. In the last game I made the mistake of thinking this was a clever ploy by Jedi and I got him lynched. I'm not going to make the same mistake so for now going to take Iviv at face value and his approach in good faith.
