Primary D1 goals are to stay alive and contribute. I want Townies to see I'm trying hard, coming up with interesting theories, being a Pro-Town advocate and adding value. I want Scummies to simultaneously fear me but think just enough of my theories are 'slightly off,' 'extravagant' or 'kooky' to warrant keeping me in the game. You gotta be 'just vague and possibly scummy enough' at moments so Scum thinks they can plant shit on you. D1 is always a crapshoot but I've made the best of it by causing controversy that can be referenced later on, and I got IHMN's role out in the open. D1 really isn't about following strong trails of evidence, power roles haven't acted and we know little and are statistically likely to kill a Townie anyway. It's about establishing who you are, encouraging a strong pace and flow of play, getting the ball rolling.

Also look at the rest of this post, Snake is being goddamn succinct. Something suspicious is going on.

Also, Snake insulting me completely unprovoked is kind of dickish, man.

Did you want another wall of text, Bookie?
Because I can start writing walls of text of you if you really miss seeing sensual gobs upon gobs of magenta cluttering your screen.

You do miss it, don't you? The neon pink splattered against every corner of your screen, dripping and oozing provocative eloquence, filling those empty holes in your life with delectable curves and lines, sending neurons to your brain conveying every consonant and vowel in an orgy of expressive, sumptuous delight.

Oh wait, did you actually delete the post that I responded to?

...Okay that has to be absolutely and in all seriousness against the rules man, whether you're joking or not.

Er, yeah, I kind of realized that was stupid right after I did it.

Not doing that again.

I don't believe there's any explicit rules against (which is a terrible excuse yes I know), and Fenris can see deleted posts, sooooo I dunno. That's up to Fenris I guess.

Hey, people.

Just a tip. If you have a power role, you might want to go invisible, since you can see exactly who is looking at PMs from whom on the active users page.

Like, I think I know four of the Mafiates now. Yeah, I'm not going to use that, but just a tip.

Like, how can you say you think you know this and not use it
That does not make any sense to me
You're not going to not vote one of those four people off if they're alongside someone else on the chopping block, that'd be stupid, and in that case your knowledge would actually be hurting Town as you'd refuse to make a pro-Town decision you otherwise may have made

The issue here is one of metagame knowledge, and whether that's permissible to use in Mafia. If Fenris okays it, I'll post the names I saw.

[rpgdemon]

Is it allowed, Fenris?

Since I clicked over and screen grabbed the thing, then left without looking, to await confirmation. If it's allowed, then I'll look it over, if not, I'll get rid of it.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Or should I use that? If I'm correct, I just made myself a gigantic target for the Mafia, and I'll most likely die during the night.

But I'm inclined to say that's stupid metagaming and just try to forget it.

[Solid Snake]

...I think it's safe to say that you're either telling the truth and you're going to definitely die tonight, or you're lying for some reason and when you live through the night we'll kill you D2.

...In which case, you should probably just keep your mouth shut.
Actually you really should have kept your mouth shut period and privately informed Fenris or something, who may then have privately told Scum via e-mail to switch to e-mail communication or something. And he probably would have replaced you.

EDIT: (I know what your issue is, btw. My point wasn't regarding the dishonest nature of relying on the information, but rather that even if you consciously attempted not to rely on that 'evidence,' it'd subconsciously scar your opinion, like it will either help or hurt Town regardless of how you act on it. So if you seriously do know who Scum is and you're not lying your ass off, Fenris really should just replace you and have Scum switch to another non-NPF form of communication.)
