The balloon that never pops
Hmm this is a tough decision on what to do. The first night is always the hardest like how the first hole is always the hardest. (props to anyone who gets the reference) I am hesitant at the moment so I dont really know but I really dont want to abstain or vote no-lynch so I am just gonna ping my bud Jolteon42 and see what his input is.
Care to open a bottle?
This came up on my Facebook news feed just now, thought it was too appropriate 
Well I didn't have any good evidence to suggest that anyone was completely guilty, that's why I suggested the "noes goes" thing. It has about as good of a chance compared to us just picking on someone because 'we decide we need a lynch'.
I am noticing something, but it's not good evidence until I see it repeated.

I think it might be wise to start voting to lynch some of the people who haven't been talking, if for anything to get them to talk. I don't like it when people try to stay quiet it seems like their trying to stay off the radar so I'm getting close to lynching one of them.
Well, I'd first like to ask what HarmakPaul says of this?
I disagree, as the reason I voted to abstain was because I made that decision temporarily. I don't plan to stick to abstaining, and neither should anyone else. This is just to show that I'm thinking things through and will make my vote in time.
I'm playin' this way I've been playin' for the last two games, why is is suspicious all of a sudden? Also, I didn't have an opinion because it was the second or third post. Of course I would want to raise discussion so we know who to lynch, since absolutely no evidence was shown beforehand.
Right now, I have my suspicions on someone, but I don't have enough evidence. I'll likely have to see what happens tonight, because it will most likely confirm (or deny) my suspicions. Afterwards, I promise to say who it is, no questions asked.

Then just don't abstain at all, and remain without decision. What if everyone else votes in the time you are AFK? The mafia could see that most everyone abstained, and could all vote at the same time for one person (also known as a blitz). If you abstain, you could lose your right to decide if you are caught off guard. If you don't abstain, you can't be caught off-guard and keep your right to vote.

For example, 4 people vote for one person. 3 people vote for another. The rest have abstained, sort of like what is happening. By the time they get back, Alpha has called for night, and all those who have abstained could have made a difference. If they had just not abstained or voted, they could have voted when they got back.

He's not AFK.
Very well, I change my vote back to NO LYNCH

Sorry for the wall of text, but I finally had a spirit of inspiration on what to discuss about because I’ve just been tooooo confused and sort of had writers block, mainly because of the roleplay.
And don’t forget to have fun everybody. o/

May I suggest we stop roleplaying the story for a bit? As this game is more about getting our points and opinions across, confusing bits and pieces of what we truly mean tend to get lost in us trying to create a story for ourselves. I feel it’s better just to get our point across and make this quite easier to understand for folks. If we want to roleplay something like this, May I suggest a Murder-Mystery Roleplay game?
Anyways, back on subject.
Anyways, back on subject.
The Following is referring to Harmak's post above.
After looking over pieces of our previous encounters, I believe we SHOULD NOT base anything of previous games.Much of the time, our guesses involving an
1)Action they did
2)Their playstyle in the game (wither they are good in “your eyes” or not)
3)Their roles
4)and anything else related to the matter…
Should all be thrown out the window. This is a new game, a new story, and a new experience. We should not blind ourselves on these things or else the town may loose like last round.
(THIS POST MAY HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT AND I MAY HAVE STATED IT WAY OUT OF PORPORTION, BUT I JUST CAN'T GET A GOOD POINT ACROSS IN A FEW WORDS >.<)

Now again, but possibly not so-on topic as I think it is.
The “Noes-Goes” idea at random seems okay, but is quite unfair as the outcome is that the final person who doesn’t state this is lynched (though I doubt it’ll happen). What if they were most likely AFK due to some real life reasons? That’s all for that matter from me.
I believe we should either, merely look and take things from what we have said lately, (though there isn’t much)
Or take hunches. Not just a hunch, but a STRONG HUNCH, on who you believe you believe may or not be on the TEAM EVIL (Zombies, Hooker, etc). This is just a hunch you wish to express, and will not count as your vote. It is simply stating whom you believe may POSSIBLY be one of these roles whom will hurt the town. I believe I stated my hunches with Ooglie, Notty, and Smely. I did not give evidence? No, I did not, for what is there to give? It was simply a hunch.
I believe Sploorky had a hunch about 77 being apart of the Mafia due to something he said in a post, so check that out if you think it would be helpful to the game.

- I agree with you on the roleplay bit. While roleplay may be fun, it's distracting and confusing. Leave the roleplay to the roleplay thread.
- However, on the contrary, it may be essential to look to past behavior. For example, the mafia will look for past good players to kill, and the doc will find good players to save. People may look to other games to how people acted when in mafia, and compare them to other actions. While one shouldn't completely base their suspicions on meta-gaming (what using other games is called), and though it's highly frowned upon in competitive mafia, it's a great tool to use if used right.
- The "Noes goes" idea is indeed ridiculous. Though we should lynch, we should lynch based off what people say. We at least increase our chances with that.
Looking back, I see what you mean. It's a rather bold statement, which could be used as a means of self-protection. His numbers could also be 'an appeal to Logos', and an attempt to try and give some backing to his words.
However, I think that I can see where Marn is just trying to stir the pot and get the Bad guys to bite, though I must admit, that vote was very quick with little evidence, except for the short interpretation of Harmak's words. I'd rather feel more comfortable about what he said he hadn't had voted. But as of now, I'm going to view him as the "Pot Stirring Human," as there is definitely not any sure things that I could identify as a surefire Mafia.
Going to bed soon, so any replies might be late.
For future refernce I may not commment much or at all at night, I don't know why but when the sun goes down calling my internet connection sporadic and unreliable is genereous at best. I'll let you guys know if I'm able to fix this problem.

Things I see as fishy;
Marn you did kind of quickly jump on Harmark for playing the way he has been. And Road you seemed really eager to be one of the votes to kill him. So Marn could be the cop and was just looking for any excuse to lynch a baddie. In which case, Road could be just eager to kill someone (which didn't really work out at the beginning before has it...) Well we have the vigilante that could want someone dead, the skele, and the mafia. He could be a civie, but he's new to the game so I'm suspecting an accidental slip up. If he's mafia it's likely he'd want to vote for a fellow mafia to reduce the suspicion against himself and then seeing that his reason for doing so is false quickly take it back so as to have all 5 mafia again. to the skele it's just another killed, so they might not have taken the vote off. and the same goes for Vigilante. However Marn could also be just as eager to kill someone and get the ball rolling, and get night to come. Because all things interesting go bump in the night. Or just a civie who thinks she's on to something. Marn could be a mafia herself looking for any excuse to kill someone. After all only the skele got a kill, so mafia would want to have a lynching to at least gain something over the rest of us.
also just to get it correct, what's the difference between no lynch and abstain? they both have the same outcome so I think of them as the same thing...

DKnucklehead Yeah. If he was citizen, I don't think he'd be trying to stir the pot though. More like he's actually trying to donate himself to the cause by being a guaranteed safe lynch. But that could be an act. Or it could be a citizen acting like mafia so there is a safe lynch. Or mafia acting like a citizen acting like mafia. And so forth. So, it's all WIFOM (yay..). However, Marn is still a top suspect if I had to choose right now (which I won't til I get enough evidence). I have some other suspicions, but Marn will be the only one I reveal. If I reveal all my suspicions, I have a good chance of being shot tonight, as my death could be used against whomever I suspect.

About Marn, thing is, he pretty much said he didn't mind being lynched.
And abstain is different from no lynch. Here's example:
8 players are left
2 players vote to kill John
1 player votes to kill Bob
5 players abstain
This means you act as if they weren't even part of the voting process, meaning John would by lynched. However, another example:
8 players are left
2 players vote to kill John
1 player votes to kill Bob
5 players vote to no lynch
This means that no one would be lynched that day. Abstaining means you don't want any say in the votes, and gives the mafia and skeleton easy control over the lynch. I explained it earlier.
