How do we know you three aren't working together? ConeGamer and Smeags and Sparks that is? I mean this is my first time but I'd imagine a first thing the mafia would do is cast suspicion on each other so people don't think they are working together..

Smeags is a pro. The other two aren't. Those two shouldn't be smart enough for that. However, if we could find an instance where he started casting suspicion, they react neutrally, and then start casting suspicion afterwards, you might have something.

Followup question: How do you know that the mafia know each other?

Padib made it clear on the sign up page http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=187811&page=3 and WoW also confirmed this on the following post and was very helpful with many answers explaining how the game works when I talked to them via PM. I'm still learning but I get the jist of it.

@sparks it's right here

Padib only says these two things in regards to the topic:
"Meanwhile, mafia players have their separate chat room (they are provided a link) in which they talk to each other to connive."
AND
"these players may be able to communicate in a separate room during game "day" and "night"."

Words instead says this:
" Scum automatically know that people not a part of their team are town ( usually )" keyword USUALLY

So, in response to my question of "How do you know mafia know each other"

He says Padib made it clear....but Padib never did. All Padib ever said was that mafia have their own chatroom, and that some kinds of players might be able to talk during the day.
And then says Words confirms it. Words is the only one that made a post specifically about how a mafia might know another mafia...yet doesn't actually confirm anything...just like a good mod should. ALl he says is that scum USUALLY know.

Then he says that BOTH padib and words were very helpful via PM.

Now, it's possible that he simply made a mistake and missed the keyword USUALLY, or maybe took the statement as a confirmation, justified by being a newb who isn't used to the intricasies of semantics in mafia....so I can't say it's a very good lead...but to me it was definitely suspicious. Especially that he was talking to someone in a pm. Not that it was talking outside the thread...but that we can't really confirm it less risking him breaking a rule and being modkilled.

I dunno what's worse, whether he didn't answer my question, or whether he's "really nervous about lynching innocent people"....he even said it twice.

But I digress. For now, I'm holding my FoS, not upgrading it. A possible explanation is that he's simply a noob. Like House says, everyone lies, everyone makes mistakes. Doesn't mean he's mafia. But, there are a lot of people who haven't contributed yet, and I'm interested in talking to them now instead of wasting my time overanalyzing this.
