Your posts are very agressive, kind of like break a union agressive......

I'm a rookie to this so I may be way off base, but to me SP, GP_Matt and Lego Man all seem pretty suspicious and manager-ish. Why so vocal and defensive of each other so early? Youre also all voting for the same guy now too

On the other side of that though Oling-Ranchinen could just be really good at this and making them out to look like the bad guys

There's Blaster as well but I have no idea what hes up to, he seems like he's done this before though so thats the only reason im skeptical of him

My vote is currently for SP, I made that vote since I had no idea what I was doing and he had the most lol. Looked like Flameswin and dissentowner did the same thing after me

I'm willing to change that vote if the other players want to work together and just pick a guy who seems the most manager-like. We need the players to be vocal though cause the managers can easily pick us apart if we all vote seperate and aren't talking to each other

Right now I'm leaning towards GP_Matt, but Lego Man and SP also seem like solid votes IMO

All of us players could vote for someone who hasn't contributed much to these meetings. Even if they turn out to be another player it wouldn't be a huge loss then.

activeStick hasn't been very helpful. He has 3 posts, 2 about food and 1 was his vote.

I would be willing to participate in this idea.

[Wood]

Yeah I'd do that too, then go after managment when we have a better idea of who's who

Drake 3 posts, 1 being a vote, 1 in German, 1 explaining what his German meant.

[Lego Man]

For some reason I was suspicious of Drake, but I couldn't justify actually voting for him. Something about him posting something so out of the blue... and then casting a vote. Probably nothing though. In fairness, it's probably not fair to all vote for undercoverbrother so soon too - but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

[Hockeyguy15]

So let's go with newest poster out of activeStick, stazzy33 and Drake.

[Hockeyguy15]

activeStick is newest, then Drake, then stazzy33 is oldest.

Unvote

Problem with that is that the only reason that someone like Pharm has a lot of posts is because Oling singled him out as someone who hasn't posted, voted him out, and then Pharm kept posting more and more to try to defend himself.

If we try to switch to someone who currently has one or no votes, it further spreads out the votes and makes it less likely that we can reach enough of a consensus by the first deadline. If our votes are roughly spread out across 3 candidates as the deadline approaches, then management could either sow discontent to prevent us from lynching anyone, or even change their votes to prevent anyone from getting lynched (although they'd risk exposing themselves by doing that).

That said, I'm willing to go along with this as long as there are enough votes that it's actually going to produce a 'front-runner' and not just split the current two-way race 3 ways.

I am also willing to focus my efforts to identifying management as they have grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the Players.

Quick action is needed by us players, management can plan behind the scenes and we can't. Our only defense is quick strikes, before they can plan their next move.

Vote: activeStick

To clear up some confusion, since this is normally common knowledge about how Mafia is played: GP_Matt asked me to confirm if the Mafia could post outside the thread. I agreed with that. They are the informed minority, as in they know who each other member of their group is, and they can talk to each other. No one else can communicate outside the thread with other players unless I have specifically told them otherwise.

This was not intended to be obscured to everyone, and I should have made it more clear in the first post. Consult the wiki link for more basic mafia information if you're unsure of other things (or PM me as many of you have), as this game follows many rules used in a typical game.

[activeStick]

I'm new to the game and just trying to get the hang of things. Why me Hockeyguy15?!!

[Wood]

So is it safe to assume GP is a player?

Whatever we do we need to do it together, or else managment will have the upper hand. We have the majority, gotta use it to our advantage

I was leaning towards voting GP, but now not so much

Blaster? Don't trust him really

The thing is, we don't know if you are really a player or management and you are deftly swaying us into your web of deceit.
This is an interesting dilemma. I fear that my new found trust issues are surfacing.

Whoa whoa, let's not start jumping on the quiet guys.

[Hockeyguy15]

The longer we sit here discussing things the more planning management gets to do.

Sorry activeStick, I said you because you aren't contributing. It isn't an excuse since a lot of us are new to it.

Timbo we don't know if you are a concerned player or management trying to draw this out until you can plan with other management.

Seriously guys, I really think our only option is to get moving before they can regroup. If I'm wrong then we aren't any worse off because they are just trying to get us to vote our own out anyway. If I'm right, we might rattle their cage.
