I'm watching that red moon

confirmed!

"The moon remains white and the night at peace. The village people entered their cottages, many of them won't be sleeping tonight.

A roar is heard from a distance up in the mountains, it sounds hungry."

Night 0 has commenced!

Send in night actions swiftly.

Two things.

One, you have your email nowhere in this thread, you should fix that.

Two, it's a terrible idea to not have everyone's name listed in the alive column. Pretty much everybody doesn't cover it. I don't even know who's in the bloody game.

Thanks hook, fixed those.

You can find my email at the bottom of the OP.

"The night ends and the sun rises, the town was as active in the night as it shall be in the day for the entire town finds many unrecognizable corpses in the middle of the town square drenched in dried up blood.

The odd part was that no peasant was missing"

No one has died.

Day 1 has commenced!

Many bodies, but no-one dead? That's an odd one.

Ok just to let you know i wont be as active for next ten 10days or so because i am on a road trip to Saskatchewan... but i have my iphone and will post from there

Might just be background flavour, can't be sure.

Interesting how the mafia didn't make a move, inactive maybe?

Yeah strange flavour, sounds like townies were up to something which is good but its a little early with 12 players to be getting info out of them.

Doesnt leave a lot to go with but thats fairly normal.

At this point, with everything that has been given, I'd say that the strangeness of the flavor is tightly linked with the mechanics of the game, seeing how it's closed-setup. I wonder whether the absence of kills have anything to do with it, or is it just a lucky doctor prevention or lack of action on the Mafia part?

But off to a decent start at least.

Many bodies, but no-one dead? That's an odd one.

From my guess, I'd say that it's really just flavor, as it also goes along with the flavor in the OP.

Regarding the lack of kills, it's quite possible in such a small mafia, they aren't able to do a kill on Night 0. That, or a lucky doctor protection, as others have said.

No deaths isn't a lot to go off though, no real hint towards what kind of roles we have out there, apart from possibly a doctor or possibly a mafia that can't kill every night (which seems unlikely to me, though not out of the realms of possibility- I've just never seen it in my very short list of games that I have played in).
Or possibly just inactive people.

Still, it's nice not to lose people on the first night.

The flavour about the town being as busy at night as busy the day strikes me, like dsmi1, I'm not sure whether to take it as just meaningless flavour, or if there was a lot of good guy activity last night.

Not quite sure where to go from here. It would be nice to know if a kill was attempted and blocked by a doctor or a blocker or anything, but we certainly don't want to out them yet.

So what do people think we should do? Barring anyone coming forward with information we can use we need some direction.

Should we - i) get a few claims (3 may be plenty?) and then potentially lynch the weakest
ii) mass claim and do the same?

Never really been a fan of the mass claim, but I am happy to consider it if people are keen on it.

Or if there are any other ideas / options available that would be handy to hear as well.

Yeah, lots of town activity might suggest a protection, if anyone was informed that they were protected, now is the time to tell us. It tells us whether the mafia can kill every night and whether they're even active or not.

I dont think it tells us if they can kill EVERY night seeing as we have only had one. We would need to at least see two nights (i.e. odd and even nights usually) to make that assumption I think.

Or a lot of town activity may suggest that the mafia wasn't ready to take the risk of attacking,in turn suggesting they are a small number,as Hook said.

Those corpses look pretty weird,from where did they come from?
Some info about anything will help in getting to a direction.

Or a lot of town activity may suggest that the mafia wasn't ready to take the risk of attacking

Two problems-
a)The mafia didn't know there was going to be lots of town activity.

b) Night 0 is always the best time to take a risk and attack anyway for the scum.

in turn suggesting they are a small number,as Hook said.

Mafia are small gropus anyway. And the smaller they are, the more they need an extra kill, thereby suggesting that they should have gone for it on Night 0 if they could.

I'm leaning more towards lucky doctor protection/lucky block than mafia failing to make a kill, to be honest.

I agree with Heir, principally on the basis that, in any game I've ever played in as scum, we've never come to the conclusion 'Best not to kill anyone on Night 0'. Which would suggest to me that the doctor got lucky, and/or the scum got unlucky.

I'm also disinclined to believe that it would be the case that the scum can't kill every night, though it's not out of the question. It would, however, be a rare game indeed where at least someone, whether it be a scum group or an sk, doesn't have some sort of kill.

I agree that I doubt the scum chose not to attempt a kill. If it was lucky doctor protection, unfortunately we can't get any info out of it. Besides we definitely don't want the doctor to come out the first day.

However, if a roleblocker prevented a kill, then we have a lead if he/she chooses to come out. It may be worth the trade to finger the killer. However, I will defer to more experienced players to determine that.

Short of a roleblocker revealing or a cop's results, where do we go from here? Random pressure? There are a couple of people I don't recognize in this game, and there's always the "when in doubt, pressure CV" philosophy.

haha!
FTW *Pressure CV*!

You're definitely learning, Gil.

Quoted from Gil:

Those corpses look pretty weird,from where did they come from?

Here's our first post restriction, folks.

Lots of corpses sounds like extra flavor in my opinion.

However a random vote is of course a excellent way to go. And of course with random votes we should choose a newer player Coldviper not falling into that category of course
Vote: Buffy

Hahahahahaha no.
Vote: Coldviper

Just kidding. CV deserves a break from the noose for once.

Unvote
Vote: Buff

Vote: Buffy

Even if it's not a post restriction it's as good as a reason to start a random vote as any. A vote or two more should suffice for pressure.

Sorry? You were mentioning a post restriction as to what Gil said earlier, and again now while voting Buffy, but I'm feeling rather dense and don't understand what you're talking about.

Just vote for Coldviper Buffy like a good samaritan.
It's a random vote, basically, and there was something said taht could have been a post restriction. That's about it, really.

I think his comment on Gil was a joke on how stupid the comment seemed(not that I totally agree), dunno where the second reference came from.

Ok, so the second reference was referring to Buffy's real life post restriction, as in the fact that she can't post much for the next 10 days.

Am I right Hook?

Right. So, pressuring Buffy would be the worst thing we could do?
...
UNVOTE
VOTE: HEIR
For a) ninja'ing me in the other thread and b) making me look stupid.SPOILER It's not hard

There is no post restriction,just curiosity. :P

Anyway,as the wind blows,
Vote:Buffy

Quoted from rachel:

In post 35, I explain it quickly. She posted something that seems very peculiar, and that someone wouldn't normally post. Sometimes, roles are assigned a restriction where they HAVE to post a certian line in one of their posts, normally once a day.

I found that line suspicious, and I think it's a good reason to start the first pressure of the mafia.

Quoted from Ensemble:

Right. So, pressuring Buffy would be the worst thing we could do?

No, not at all. Please read what I said above.

For a) ninja'ing me in the other thread and b) making me look stupid.

Wow. Just... wow.

She posted something that seems very peculiar, and that someone wouldn't normally post.

Ok, I gotta ask. How is posting that you won'tt be very active for x reason in the near future peculiar? People do it all the time.

Ok. So my husband told me since we were going on vaccation to post that since I don't want it to be assumed that I am lurking. To harp on common curtesy is a bit scummy in my opinion.

Oh wait, it seems that I have gotten people mixed up here. My bad, buffy. Cold voting for buffy got me confused.

I was referring to Gil, actually. But since we're this far in pressuring and the suspicion of Gil was pretty much random anyway I guess we should just keep pressuring Buffy, no?

That was a pointless suspicion,just because I wondered from where those corpses dropped off. :P

At this point any suspicion and pressure is bound to be pointless initially.

And you need to make sure that the 'p' is lowercase to get the proper smiley, Gil.

Yes, like that.
