MAYBE I AM

WHAT OF IT

UNLESS YOU'RE MAFIA?

Unless I'm the Doctor? Or maybe the traitor? Or a townie?

Which one, Mr. Deduction?

If you're the traitor I hope that the Mafia kills you without knowing your role until it's too late.

Or we can abstain from voting.

Or am I just a harmless townsfolk?

Unvote: Onyxmeth
Vote: Abstain

What do you make of that?

And for the record, this is potentially dangerous metagaming but I am very nearly positive that Soriku is a townie.

Voting no-lynch (that's the usual term) would just give the mafia a free kill and not really reveal anything abut anyone like voting patterns would.

...Khuutra surely knows that.

FoS: Khuutra

Once again it falls to me to get the ball rolling. I tried to refrain as this got me killed last time, but the job must be done.

Once again we find ourselves with no way of determining who to vote for. Once again it falls to us to use the age old principles laid down for us by our ancestors. Well laid down by our white ancestors anyways. Last time I said we should go after minorities on this basis. This time around I feel we should use a different guiding principle. That is to get behind the guy with the power. Onyxmeth, as mod, has the most power in game as he could ban our asses around voting time and screw us over. Since he has not voted for anyone I can't automatically bandwagon onto his vote. So instead, for round 1 I will defend him instead.

Vote: Dtewi

While I agree with Khuutra in principle, I just don't see how it will play out for the game. With nothing but one kill to base it off of for round 2 we end up in a worse position. Pointless bickering and backstabbing now is the only way to establish who is acting what way. If we must lynch an innocent person to achieve this then I will make that sacrifice. And by make that sacrifice I mean hold the rope, not wear it. 

Horse manure. If we vote "at random" then voting patterns mean almost nothing - we'd be coming to a mob consensus, nothing more, and it would be impossible to draw meaningful conclusions based on whatever lynching we did. The chances in this case would be great (higher than 75%) that we would get a Townie, and in that case we're two kills behind instead of one.

I don't think abstaining from voting is a very good idea unless everyone abstains, if not the mafia could easily kill a townsfolk. If more people jump on board with this abstaining thing I'll go that direction to.
