Abstaining at all gives the Mafia an edge. Every turn that someone doesn't die is less of a chance that someone on their side dies, and one more townie who dies.
In addition, bandwagonning without good reason is another surefire way to give the Mafia an advantage.
Vote using logic, people, or we're going to find ourselves in a sticky situation fairly quickly.
Flimsy logic on the first day is fairly okay because you're not really working off of much, you basically have to be super paranoid about everything and everyone and pick up on anything someone says or even doesn't say. Not saying anything is just as suspicious as saying something suspicious.
While all of this is true, you do realize that I'm well aware of this by now having played two other mafia games, and that the fact that you're not even pointing out actual offenses on my part only to vote me off anyway makes you look suspicious yourself? Seems like you bit some bait I didn't even intend on any mafia taking.
In fact, tell you what. The only reason I even voted off Myroc was because the CF votes got old and there wasn't really anything else going on. But now? I'm mafia because I didn't know how to play mafia? Please, get real.
Changing my vote to Beed for the moment, but only because of jumping on a bandwagon the quickest and having enough votes to possibly tie with and save Myroc.
Also, while this has nothing to do with the current discussion:
Hmm.
3 mafia members out of 21 players according to what +b posted.
With that number maybe even getting higher over time ...?
I simply assumed there were already some mafia players before others were converted to mafia, so it worried me that given the amount of players that there would be a relatively higher than usual number of mafia.
