I do think there is a major drawback into everyone posting lists, I don't know if it outweighs the positive but it should be discussed.
Lists will change each day of course, but if the mafia see a bunch of people putting Player X as suspicious, they aren't going to 'waste' a night kill on Player X. Likewise, if a bunch of posters are putting a mafia member on their town list they probably wont be killing those players. And then we get into a whole bunch of metagame where we have to decide would the mafia be so bold as to kill people mentioning them as suspicious etc.
So yes, if someone reveals town we know they believe their list, but that doesn't mean the mafia isn't using it to their advantage either and could even help them plan the next couple days.
My lists wont really come as a surprise but I can see the merit for others to want to keep the mafia guessing.
My suspicious list:
- GP_Matt and mrkajz44 - If one of them reveal mafia, I think the other should be looked at extremely close. If GP_Matt were to flip town, my suspicion on mrkajz44 would be heavily lessened.
- Delgar - Sorry Delgar if you are town, but with how the day started and so much to discuss I just can't see the "Mario and DK died, let's kill Bowser" logic as anything but misdirection.
- Squiggs96 - Seemed to be on radars yesterday, now he's off of them thanks in part to all the cult talk and is set up that he can lay low.
Also those who went for the quick hammer yesterday.
My town list:
- East Coast Flame - I believe he's the doctor.
- Starseed - Pretty forthcoming with the Guardians, didn't want the hammer to drop on RatherDashing.
- Puxlut - Maybe not so much that I think she's town, but just that she's not on my radar.
Next couple days my posting time may be limited. I wont be inactive, just might not be posting as much as usual.
