Huh. Well, that explains KidV's throwing the Scotsman discussion out in the Night. Still baffled how a Scotsman is anti-town, but.

Ouch. Among a wide variety of joke votes, two serious votes have been placed on Ben. Although even those votes don't have any real case, Day 1 cases are hard to come by so I'm a little afraid a wagon might develop. Any advice on what I or SisC can do to help?

I fear some of the heat I'm drawing was partly due to me poking Colby for "let's get it started" by voting for him.
Most of the heat appears based on my attempt to assess trimming the game from 25 players to 21. I think the best thing to do is make a wagon somewhere else. I lean towards Peeker, as he's fucking incomprehensible.
Most importantly, please keep me calm through this board. My big weakness is taking early heat and freaking out. (My second weakness is being in the final three and voting wrong.)

Does this help? : God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.Anyway, worse-comes-to-worst, outing a Witch Day 1 is hardly a big loss, as long as you claim in time to avoid Lynch. We'll Protect you in future Nights of course and, as outed Witch, you'll be able to reveal our Investigations.

I prefer the alternate ending: "And the superior firepower to make the difference." I have a history of running away from a Mafia game when I draw several votes. I'm trying to do better each time around. I did realize that in a bad case, I will claim Witch. And then we see how people respond.

I think at this point no reason to worry; it's Day One and there's two days to get things in order. But I'd also advocate claiming if you're still in the lead with, say, twelve hours or so to go, just to give people a chance to shift/change their votes. If they're going to. There are factions that NEED at least one of us dead, that's for sure. I suck at breadcrumbing, just so you both know, and if I'm the cool head of the bunch... ...boys, we got issues.

Oh, and the variant of that I'm familiar with is "...and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people who piss me off."

I suck at breadcrumbing, just so you both know, and if I'm the cool head of the bunch... So given that, I think a viable approach assuming that the bandwagon stays on me: I claim Witch at around 12 hours before Dusk. We protect me and investigate our top target on N1. I report the result at Dawn on D2. I wish I could say I planned it like this, but that would not be true. Meanwhile, Septy and SisC, you two have to do the usual D1 coordinating mason thing and not indicate that you know I'm on your side.

I think that sounds valid IF the bandwagon stays on you.
Can anyone parse what peeks is on about?

Since my Peeker vote might be seen for what it really is -- a vote hoping to save you -- I'm slightly afraid that smart Scum will guess that I'm a Witch if/when you claim, Ben. Would it be wise for me to Unvote Peeker and perhaps even smudge you a little, Ben, a few hours before you claim? If so, let's set a schedule. EOD is 2 PM Chicago time, right? If you're in the lead, or tied, I suppose you'll claim some time in the early U.S. morning. That would make my move, if any, about 9 hours from now, or thereabouts. I'll be happy to follow your instructions, Ben, but you'll need to signal, or at least tell me when you'll be on-line. (Or perhaps I'm over-paranoid to think I should distance myself from you. )

No such thing as over-paranoid in Mafia, but...I've forgotten. Do the Wolves need us dead?

Post by witch6 on Aug 29, 2012 11:14:51 GMT -8
We mightn't be a priority for the Wolves at first -- they need to outnumber all Town and Cabal, so we are an issue for them, but they don't need us specifically dead (except to force us to choose between protection and investigation at Night.)
Cabal needs us dead, and they need to figure out who the Wolves or Vigs are to redirect to us. So we need to worry most about those two groups, while keeping an eye on the numbers of Undead.

Wolves need all Townies dead, but want to kill Witches for two reasons: 1. We're powerful. 2. If our numbers fall, Town will need to kill Cabalists. While we're alive Town can focus on killing Wolves.

In my opinion, you need not unvote Peeker.
But go ahead and smudge me while you can. Show some reasoning why my play is Scummy. (I want to suggest defending me, but nobody's defending anybody yet.)
Ah, the D1/D2 spotlight, how I missed it.
If I need to claim tomorrow, it'll be at about 6am PT. 12 hours before Dusk is the graveyard shift around here, and anything I'm doing at that hour involves the baby.
Any thoughts as to who might be Scum or Cabal? It's too early, I think, to even speculate about Undead.

Oh, and I'm in Nevada, so Pacific Time. I'm generally on during work hours and if a Day is particularly intense, I check when I get home.

SisC, I hope your outpatient surgery went smoothly. I got good results from my tests Monday: 87% of maximum (age-adjusted ) heart rate on the treadmill with no ischemia. I feel stronger after the reassurance; I may start an SDMB thread to discuss my peculiar form of hypochondria. I'm on-line two sessions per day: (1) during my afternoons (your wee hours), (2) after kids go to bed and into my wee hours -- corresponding to your work hours. (I once had a Nevada Driver's License but now live far away in the Middle of Nowhere. But there's a town 2 miles away I jokingly call the "The Biggest Little Town in the World." Its population is only about 4000 even with neighboring villages thrown in, but it has delusions of grandeur! It has several hardware stores, a dozen barber shops and beauty parlors, and often hires big-name Bangkok stars for its festivals.)

Thank you Nesta for putting together a good case on Plankton.
Septy, you're voting for both peeker and Plankton, and now so am I. I'm worried that this might suggest to someone that we're on the same team. I'd rather engage Plankton and peeker and get them defending themselves as to which of them I should unvote.

Bill just voted you. I'm afraid you may have to claim.
If it seems wise and necessary to you, tell me half-hour before you claim and I'll vote you to distance myself.

... or not. I'm drawing heat too. To be wishy-washy and vote to Lynch a soon-to-outed Witch might increase suspicion on me. What do you think?
I do like Pizza's case against KidV. He may be a good candidate for Investigate. If he's Scum we can stop the suspicion against me.
PS: I assume we're allowed to Edit posts on this secret board. Correct?

I edited a post earlier.
I'm going to claim in 35 minutes, 8:30AM PT. I suggest you address the cases on you and put up a good defense, rather than try to protect me. If you have to claim also, bugger.
I'm on board with investigating either Pizza or KidV.

I get side-tracked by non-Mafia and missed your message. So I guess I'll just sit back and wait....

Claim written and ready to post.
I still want to see an updated vote count.
