Enderfive I have a feeling you mistook by post for calling for a no-lynch.

I want people to post more so we know how people are playing.
Nah, I was simply stating that I would not want a no-lynch.

ive reread your post Enderfive -why caff in particular
She looked most certain of Lee being anything near suspicious. Not exactly a reason, hence my lack of actual suspicion towards her.

Although, I admit I never understood the counter argument 'you find this person suspicious, therefore YOU are suspicious'.
Perhaps you haven't understood the argument because you're oversimplifying it. The argument is that you see that someone is easy to attack, so, in order to get someone (anyone) out, or at least plant the idea, you say that you find them somewhat fishy, maaayyybe not exactly worth a vote yet, but definitely worth watching. Or, you know, there's always the greater possibility of everything being the way it looks and people actually finding them suspicious. Mafia isn't an exact science, I'm just putting every thought out there, like Coolio.

I do find Sparkly's reaction interesting. When I say that she's maybe a little bit worth watching, not even suspicious-worthy, but perhaps moreso than the other players, she writes up this relatively long post which to me looks kind of defensive and maybe subtly trying to shift the suspicion to me. I'm not sure if this is a sign of her being non-town or if we can put it down to her simply being a new player (iirc, she hasn't played before?), but I do find it noteworthy and I see Hunter's already picked it up (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks for explaining it! I do understand where you're coming from now; I think I did oversimplify it. To be honest, I would've done it with anyone - not because I find them an easy target - but because I think it's in our town's best interest to address unusual behaviour (such as the half-RP thing going on here). Initially, if someone else started doing something strange, it would be my (and I thought everyone else's) first reaction to call them out on it. So in terms of being beneficial to our town, would you say this is negative approach? (You have more experience here than I do.)

I'm actually just going to claim it as a personality trait; I just naturally talk a lot. (You could say write a 3 paged essay on why the sky is purple and I'll still give 5 pages.) I believe this behaviour is common throughout all my posts on the forums. :p However, I didn't want to make a post that long since I understood how it would appear(as you stated above), while my intent was to only explain where my skeptical questions were coming from. I continued on the topic since it was brought up again.
SparklyMuffinz you do realize you can actually unvote whenever you like, dunno why you're making such a fuss over voting
I'm well aware you can unvote, that's not my concern. My reason for addressing the fact I didn't vote for him is the implication of the action. :p If I vote him, I think he's a bad guy; that's why you vote someone. But I don't find him guilty of anything at the moment, therefore I didn't vote for him. I don't have enough of anyone to vote them yet.

I like the way Sparkly is playing. Long, well-written posts that have logic in them. What more could you ask? x)
judging from the death thread of the previous mafia, Hunter doesn't like long posts (note: JK)
owell raxo is clearly scum for making us say we saw the PM on this thread rite, rite.

A little fussy over Lee, but seeing people's opinions on it is a good start in the right direction.
Sparkly seems to be trying to be helpful, doesn't feel too weird either.
Then a couple of people already analyzing (maybe overly so) their posts while a lot of others are being a little silent. (I think someone pointed out that katman hasn't posted here yet?) If possible, it'd be nice to get a sentence or two of the thoughts of those that have only posted once or twice so far, then we can start rolling a liiittle faster.
