It's definitely happened in at least one of the games you've played. Not that it matters particularly - the point is that Spurge could well be Mafia based off this early encounter

Refresh my memory would you please? (genuine not sarcastic. If it has happened i wanna know) 

Yeah, Spurge COULD be mafia, but then so could everyone. Statistically speaking probably 2-4 of the players who have already posted are probably mafia. Spurge throws out random suspicion every other post. What's your point? 

I think they're lots of fun. I am confused now. I didn't get a quick topic thread, but I'll ask prof if I should have one. Finally, I see what you did there!

Checking in. Thoughts so far:
nen's likely scum, breaking up the early town vibes before the suspect pool shrinks too much.
I shall consider Stefl as confirmed town.
A quick policy/No lynch is exactly what scum want, thus we will have no such thing.
radish seems too focused on what he did last round and is conveniently leaving out that he thought I was scum and trying to get rid of him.(Pshaw) Hooray points for being active so far though.

The Dolphin reporting in.

All in all town vibes from hatmoza. All his points so far, which is extremely rare or even maybe something I've never truly exprienced.

About Spurge, as random as he is, he can be a huge asset to town, if he is town. My last game I played I was mafia and he was right incessantly...

He has great intuition, but is extremely incoherent.

Nen being dark as usual, seeing evil where I see it not. Who knows, he may be right.

ahahahah XD

It happened two rounds in a row and then once more later on; I reckon you were playing in the third round when it happened. 

It's not about the fact that Spurge put suspicion on someone, it's about the fact that he put suspicion on me. Generally speaking, players who put suspicion on me early are Mafia because they like mislynches, and I don't normally respond to such targeting until I'm on around L5 - this makes the mafia assume that they can start a line of suspicion early and then detach themselves from it later. Mario did it last game, pretty sure Linkz did it 3-4 rounds ago - I think Spurge is doing it this game.

Not every player is equal on day 1. Some of them are generally stayed away from, whereas others make decent targets - the fact that I like Day 1 no lynch never helps my cause, but I do it anyway because it's a solid strategy in my opinion. It seems that you've taken more than a slight interest in this chain of events, which leads me to suspect slightly that you could be concerned that I've discovered something already- however I think you a good enough player to not show this surprise if you genuinely were Mafia partners with Spurge, so I'll ignore that for now.

Notice that Spurge is already gathering a list of people that should be lynched should he be killed tonight. In the case of a town player, this is a genuine way to voice some opinions before death; but at the beginning of day 1? It seems that he's jumping the gun a little - maybe he's been startled by a reaction that he wasn't expecting. Maybe not - I suppose we'll see eventually.

Nothing personal though Spurge- that was all theoretical stuff. I'll be looking at other people's posts too

Thorough.

I had the entire day off today, so i can concentrate on the game :P 

I actually just wanted the specific game that it happened to Radish, but oh well. He seems very paranoid, but he is also actually posting a lot. Maybe he is always paranoid, but doesn't post enough for me to pick up on it? ;) 

I imagine that's probably the case- I try not to, but I'm probably one of the most paranoid mafia players on the site. I'll try to be calmer to actually allow discussion to happen.

Yes, really. I'm not saying we need a long drawn out Day where half of the town loses interest. But not getting everyone to be active beyond simply "Lynch FF yes/no?" or "No Lynch yes/no?" would be quite bad. Scum thrive in the Night, when they don't have to keep their stories straight or pretend to have suspicions. Letting them off the hook from crucial Day 1 impressions is far better for them than giving a chance to plant those seeds of suspicion. And even those seeds can be a benefit if/when the planter is exposed.
