Mafia 101: The Basics [Beginner's Mafia]

I'm tempted to roll with the bandwagon and see where it heads but I'm rather suspicious of Wiicked. He immediately voted for Archy and provides no good reason for it. Bandwagons are great and all but there's got to be some thought as to where it goes.

That said, fingers of suspicion also point at Spartacus for immediately joining in with the Archywagon without any thoughts.

For now, [Kill] Wiicked.

Hmm now I have grown suspicious of you.

Interesting.

Defend Archy and try to focus the attention on me and Wiicked.

Can I smell fish?

Oh please, you have absolutely nothing on either Archy or me. If anything, you trying to lynch a possible innocent randomly within a few hours of the day post makes you two (that would be you and Wiicked) the most suspicious people right now. Even if you may be innocent, right now, you're certainly at the top of the suss list. That's how you decide who to bandwagon, the ones at the top of the list, not because sheep crowded Archy's car.

Well, because it's bad strategy. If you just sit back, it's most likely that the mafia are able to point at people and direct the crowd into killing each other.

so your idea of an optimal strategy is for me to vote without first observing everyone.

Uh, no, NO. ...I mean sometimes that's useful. If YOU know Johnny is scum (mafia), but all others don't, let's say because you're cop and investigated him, and want to get him lynched, you gotta start suggesting him as the target sometime before most players got their votes in...

But in general you should observe first. But not the lay back and let things happen way of observing, but the participate in the discussion and question people and try to analyse what they wrote and see how they react to accusations way of observing.

right, but see it's very likely i don't have a role like that and that's why i'm not pointing fingers at anyone yet?
 
...this is getting to the point where I think you want to not get what I mean...

Your post suggests you want to sit back, see what happens and not do anything at all. Though you should not immediatly vote for someone, you can discuss what has been said and implied or possibly implied.
 
your vote is wasted on me. :P
but i guess i do have mine ready:

[Kill] Spartacus

no hard feelings friendo! i just think you're being a little suspicious and that's my only hunch. i got nothing else right now haha.
 
I'm going to bed now so I won't be able to do anything to help for a long time, but I'm going to change my vote. Archy, I hope I'm right with this one. Hopefully causing some drama will make people speak and when people speak (or by saying nothing) we'll be able to identify the mafia.

Wow, I had no idea this game had started. Looks like I'll be checking into here a little bit more often!

Anyway, let me introduce myself! I'm TheCapsFan, otherwise known as Caps or Cappy. I hail from the mystical, mysterious gardens of the Bulbagarden Forums. I joined this website a while back, but never really used it for much. Now that I'm getting into mafia, I thought I'd try my hand at a PC mafia game! Good luck to all and let's have some fun, shall we?

Hey Caps! Swordy here.

Oh hello there! Nice to see you around. I guess that answers my most recent VM to you.

Anyway, we have an early bandwagon on Archy. KetsuekiR brings up some valid points about this bandwagon in post 42, but not enough for me to vote Wiicked. Not much has really happened yet; there's more discussion of game mechanics going on rather than actual scumhunting, which is kind of expected for a D1. What really grabs my attention is this post here:

Gobln said:
Universe is mafia.

[Kill] Universe
(is that how it works?)

The strange part is that Universe either saw this post and ignored it or didn't see it at all.

Overall I am starting to form minor town and scum reads, but nothing too solid yet as it's only D1. I have some questions for some players that I would like to have answered before I go and place my vote on anyone.

@Gobln; What's your reasoning for Universe being mafia? It's odd that you're just throwing this accusation down so confidently and without any proof to back it up.
@Universe; What do you have to say in response to Gobln, in general, or in your defense?
@Spartacus; What is your reasoning for voting Aiden, if any? Is it a random vote? Is it because he hasn't posted yet?

Also, I'd like to hear opinions from @Zehn and @Aiden

Lastly, a question to the host: Do dayphases last 24 or 48 hours in this game?

I hate this post. You dont vote on null, you vote on emotions this early in the game game.

You seem to be placing a vote just to place a vote, and your reasons for said vote are incredibly weak, sorry.

I dont like his tone, and i think the way he entered the game was extremely sloppy, he also didnt respond to my question about him being town or not.

Everyone on the first page is going to enter in the game sloppy. It's D1, for crying out loud. There's only one person in this game who has substantial information and proof at this point, and that's the Cop. That being said, I like to play with the style of "if you don't have something constructive to say regarding the focus of the game itself, don't say it at all," which makes Universe's first post very much irrelevant in my eyes. I personally find his rhetorical answer to your FIRST question more eyeworthy.

Also, I'd like to add that although those are decent reasons, I don't see the point of using absolutes this early in the game.
