Alright. So I have still not caught up any more, and I am now about 15 pages behind. So I have 1 of 2 options:

1) Give up and ask to be replaced because I do not have the free time right now to read through the amount of posts I need to get through to catch up.

2) Start from scratch right now and build on from there.

And I'm going to try option #2. Soooooo....anyone got some Cliff Notes for what's happened so far?

I hate having to do this, but I haven't caught up at all, I'm more than 10 pages behind, and I've had a really bad cold I've been dealing with for the last few days. I'm going to vote for myself and random another person on the list. I'm hoping with any off day tomorrow that I'll have enough time to read through everything and catch back up. Sorry everyone!

Alright. I'm still about 5-6 pages behind but am trying to get caught up tonight. So we shall see how this goes.

It's busy IRL indicative. He's in a PhD program and studying like hell for a huge test coming up in September he has to do well on to stay in the program. Plus everything else school-wise he is working on and teaching. So you're probably looking at someone working 80+ hours every week and still trying to play a mafia game of this scope.

I thought about making that OT green, but I think the frustration comes from things outside of the game and people need perspective on this to understand where he is coming from in his thoughts.

Thats why I said 'generally' utr - players I have a hard time getting reads on in normal circumstances.

I mean, I'm gonna be utr this game.

I would hope it doesn't become the norm personally. If we have a lack of better options I'm all for it. But in a game this large, we may have quite a few UTR people, and it gives baddies a free pass IMO.

I am also now playing mafia buzzed so this may become really interesting. :P

It seems we would want to nominate the two most suspicious players (in lieu of one) similar to lynching, but is that necessarily the case? What if a player is suspicious but has a role type that is stronger in duels and keeps winning them? What do you all think?
Ah, MP, always wanting to talk mechanics :P I can see where you're coming from; if we were able to identify a strong dueling civ, we could put him or her up against the suspect for a better chance at a death. However, and this is important, the rules for warriors say "most likely to win in a duel." It's not a guarantee, it would seem. On the negative side, that strategy would identify good NK targets for the baddies. And if we try to get two baddies in a duel and succeed, one of them is destined for death

However, the civs have many more warriors than the baddies. So picking one from each list (suspected civs and suspected baddies) for each night might actually be a good call.
Linki: Just as JJJ put a little more eloquently.

I would be in favor of this strategy, barring that we do not have at least 2 good baddie suspects for each day cycle.

And I agree here. I voted for him because he is a more active participant (or maybe I just considered him. I can't remember now). But I can also see this being an easy out for baddies down the road.

It's annoying to be at the center of consistent illogical paranoia even when it's understandable.

So it's both illogical....but understandable?

How does that one work?

I haven't even read anything yet, but I realized the poll was about to close so I voted quickly. Hopefully it won't bite me later on.

I'll check in and catch up properly later today.
