[MAFIA] The Legend of Mafia - RIP 1

[Copy Robot]

[4:43:36 PM] King Dumb: hey copay can you post in my mafia thread for me? I haven't been able to maintain a stable connection to cutstuff.net for the past day or so, pages keep timing out. can you just post letting people know that I will start the first phase tomorrow morning? I'll be able to access it from a different computer then.

tomorrow morning

[King Dumb]

Apologies for that extended absence everyone. Things will be on track now! I may have to adjust the update time for when school starts up for me, but until then we should be good. That being said...

The sun rose across the lands of many eras, and with total power nearly within his grasp Ganondorf mobilizes his forces, with one mission: find the Triforce of Courage. The King of Evil and his post powerful generals prepare themselves. They must stop the Spirit of the Hero from collecting itself...

Across time, those with the Spirit of the Hero burning inside them, the Links of many eras, draw their blades and prepare to defeat Ganondorf. Unity, at all costs, will be their ally...

Six sages open their eyes to the morning. This time, they must use their powers to help the Links and hold back Ganondorf and his powerful allies. This time, they too can be heroes, and guide the Spirit of the Hero to victory...

As always, votes are to be posted in this thread clearly. Days are the phase where you vote to lynch one person.

Also, reminder that all Active Abilities must be activated by PM'ing me or messaging me on Skype. If you don't have me on Skype it's no problem, I am pretty much always online on Cutstuff as long the website loads.

+Abstain
No real leads, gotta wait for someone to die first so we can all start jumping to conclusions and pointing fingers around the table.

Admittedly, this is my first Mafia game, but a null vote seems kind of silly to me. I mean, best case scenario, the mafia plays along and no lynch occurs. Then what? We start Day 2 minus one townie and with little to no information. I mean, from what I've seen what were supposed to do is use both what people say and the voting records to identify possible Mafia suspects. The only reason I haven't put down a vote yet myself is that it's only three hours in and I'm waiting to see if anything specific jumps out at me.

+Coldfusion
The Cutstuff tradition to abstaining.

Although I would like to point out that abstaining on the first day doesn't put us anywhere because we'll be in the same position again on day 2, except no leads and one person dead. We just "actually" start the game on the second day with no real progress made.

I think the main reason cutstuff has had a long tradition of never voting on the first day is that no one wants to fire the first bullet 'cause of how bandwagon-y these tend to get.

something like
"What?! You voted for some random guy and he happened to be a townie?! HOW DARE YOU PREPARE TO DIE"
"no wait i'm the doctor"
*lynched*
"surprise he was the doctor"

Abstaining allows people to let their abilities guide their decisions. Which could be helpful in making decisions that don't cause bad side-effects.
But I can see a point in voting blindly, too, of course.
