Mafia Mafia! Also fucking pepper spray.

[Sifright]

I'm thinking about putting a butt on nikose, because like nikose always does odd shit, that just fucks with non scum pretty much every game. His instance on going "LOL X IS DEF THE BAD GUY" also hard up makes me want to do it. I've got a little time to think on this before I vote though.

FOS: Nikose

at the end of the day this is going to come down to tie break any way so it's going to be who do i think will help scum the most by their continued existence in the absence of any information

Edit: Christ you fuckers post whilst im writing mine up making me look like a spurg thanks guys!

[Ecks]

Okay yeah nik is a dork day one, thats for sure but I really dont think he's acting scummy... As I said my vote is entirely self preservation, nothing personal against nik. That said dude you really oughta serious up or youre gonna hang, by the looks of it.

7 butts to lynch.

I'll actually extend the day to midnight PST, so that people with actual lives aren't screwed over by a lack of opportunity to defend themselves.

You lost the vote for Nikose from Bookworm and missed the vote for Nikose from Ecks.

[Nikose Tyris]

Meh. Kay, here's my card.

Roleclaim: Bodyguard, mafia Aligned.

Go ahead, then.

[Nikose Tyris]

Literally, my entire arguement against Gem is, "I'm half paying attention, it's exam week. I have enough of a good role I should make a token attempt against death." But hey, town doesn't need a bodyguard.

Also IHMN and BahamutFlare are my bids for the scum in this game. Reading the thread details my suspicions. I'm unsure on Ecks, because he's Ecks.

Okay bf lynching inactives is not pro scum and you know it. Inactivity is just as much a scum hiding tactic as no lynch voting and wasting lynches. And either way with shorter days than your usual mafia game, encouraging people to post and actually play a game as opposed to not playing and depriving the active players of potential leads, I'd rather take a chance on an inactive who could be scum trying not to draw attention to themselves than lynch some guy on a bandwagon hunch and possibly lose our bodyguard or doctor.

That said, I have been a little unfair about it, and shouldn't be so quick to jump on inactivity.

[Ecks]

Let me elaborate on this since I'm no longer on my phone and thus I'm not rushed to defend myself.

Now that I'm not all rash and upset and irritated about getting hassled while I'm at work, I do actually see your point BF about not wasting the day's lynch. My prejudice against inactivity was colored by the previous mafia game and despite my words to everyone to put it behind them it seems I'm just as guilty of hanging on to the bad taste in my mouth. The thing that ruined Spy Among Us most for me was the massive inactivity. Forget the fact it was a bastard game, it just seemed like nobody wanted to play and my beginner's excitement over getting to play at all was pretty much squashed.

Hence my vitriol regarding keeping everyone playing this time around. As far as my statement about waiting until the end of the day is concerned, if Earl had kept to his original deadline, I may not have made it home from work in time to read through the thread again and decide on a vote. Happily this is not the case and I did in fact make it home not only in time for the original deadline, but Earl also extended it.

I need a little more time to think about this.

[Nikose Tyris]

Hm. I have a feeling I'm going to die.

[Geminex]

I'm surprised that Gem wouldn't think of the possibility of a power role before prodding.

I did! But roles are WIFOM. Anyone might have a role. And I did consider that Nikose might have a power role. I also considered that Nikose might not, in fact, have a role. Either was a possibility. What tilted the scale for me, again, was just this bit:

I don't want to die/roleclaim on day 1.

This has no function other than to make his attackers doubt themselves. He's hiding behind the fact that he might havea power role. Unfortunately, that logic applies to anyone! Town can use it. But so can scum! In the end, it just stalls the lynch. And as you have so aptly stated, the lynch is the town's main weapon. It's not in the interest of town to cast doubts on a lynch based on a role you might or might not have.

I think my reasoning at the time was valid. Misguided, perhaps, but valid. However:
Unbutt: Nikose
He's claimed now. An unfortunate claim, to be sure, but a claim. And it's at this point that I don't wanna risk it. Bahamut seems to trust him, and he does have a good track record. Not sure who my vote will go to, in the end, but okay.
