Fair enough, but posting about your suspicion is pretty inflammatory, and for that reason, suspicious.

Because I'm dumb, scotty 2 hotty is an equally big target, and because I'm only a one use doctor anyway and was hoping to use it to get confirmed as town.

Mostly the first one though.

Not at all, it's just good mafia :shrug:

We've got a day 1 doctor claim, with no reason to claim.

If you don't die tonight, you're going straight to the top of my "probably scum" list, because scum would be stupid to let you live if you were actually VT.

It's day 1 though, so just making observations.

Well you can't blame someone for wanting to risk their life in loving devotion to Ludlam. Maybe Splode's trying to do some fake-out shenanigans where they think he's going to protect him, or they think that he thinks that, so he won't... gaah, I don't know. It just seems like a really bad idea done in haste, that could go real bad for him no matter what team he's on, so I guess we'll see what happens after tonight.

Just so long as Scotty is okay. :ohdear:

Splodes reason for coming clean kinda make sense, but only if he was under suspicion at the time or there were votes massing against him. This wasn't the case. He's literally come out of the blue going 'No i'm a doctor!' when no one was even talking about him.

I would give him the benefit of the doubt and say it's a rookie error given this is my first mafia game. I suppose I'm softer than the more experienced players.

Yeah experienced players always guess themselves into a corner, and then claim some obscure strategy when it turns out they didn't know what they were talking about. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so predictable.

Votecount for Day 1

Mills (2): Anidav, Fruity Gordo
Milky Moor (1): bowmore
Anidav (1): Mills

Not Voting (10): Bifauxnen, Freudian Slip, hooman, Matthew Beet, Milky Moor, Mithranderp, Splode, thatbastardken, Those On My Left, tithin

With 14 alive, it's 8 votes to lynch. The current deadline is December 30th, 2014 at 9 p.m. EST -- that's in about 2 hours, 28 minutes.

The extreme left dissidents are still at large.

I'm abstaining from voting because ~data~

I'm suspicious of Splode for reasons already given, but I'm also eyeing Mills and Milky because they're just a little too friendly off the bat.

but if we don't lynch, it's a free kill. and given that we have an outed doctor and a known townie, at least one of the town is going to die tonight unless we have multiple protectors (unlikely)

No one seems to be leading any bandwagons, though. Like Mith said, it could just end up 2 free kills. Not even classic jokevote Mills has got off the ground yet! (I'd have been tempted to join in, but every time before when I've been totally convinced to vote for him, it turned out he's just a crappy town)

Fruity Gordo posted:

That would suck and be totally ridiculous. I think we just get the benefit of knowing for sure he's town, so when he posts stuff we can be sure that it's not all lies and an attempt to mislead everybody. Everyone knows you can trust Scotty :swoon:

I believe in my vote for Anidav. Not because it's Anidav but because it's suspicious to change your reasons when questioned; it implies that you are making things up as you go. That's scum behaviour.

i also believe this, because while we don't have any data we have enough people to soak a few losses. if we assume that the scum can kill one person a night (and number however many is normal for a game this size), we only have a certain amount of time before they gain control of the lynching phase and basically swallow our convention up in a wave of SAlt magazines. we have a limited number of lynches and if we don't use them we're playing the waiting game against people who get stronger the longer the game goes on.

My vote was just payback for your vote. My reason was a throwaway given that its my very first reason in mafia, ever. Also i have no doubt in my mind that you're a trot because of the extreme irony of making you one. It's literally the easiest joke to pull if I were in charge of PMing roles.

Kommando if i get lynched for this you are in big trouble.
