Hi hi hi hi hi
I don't get what the Host meant by "first virtual reality mafia game ever". If so, you may ask yourself, what have we been doing this entire time, playing online mafia?
How did we get here?!
I will vote today for someone who didn't vote to elect me. Which basically means my vote might go to anyone today.
It seems the RYM poll's song choices completely match our poll's power descriptions. That screenshot of RYM's poll really helps, but I'm not sure if anyone on our side saved it. Probably because MM isn't on our side.
I was not present when the Day 0 was wrapped up, but I remember the poll being tie free and option 5 or 7 with the most votes - those two options most certainly the top two choices.

K47, that mauve or whatever it is is killing my eyesight on the dark skin. Is it your usual style to color player names? Could you consider a better color, please, or is that the one you regularly use?
Also, everyone (playing with the first time with me) can call me Rico if the Chet is too bothersome. Or mafia champ. It's short for Ricochet, after all. Oh, and if any other RYM member has tips for nicknaming, let me know.

Seaside was the most active poster and asked a ton of questions.
Interesting. I don't think he posted once yet in the main game.

But you're not, right?
How can you accidentally imply you are civilian? Isn't that like the most basic claim used in mafia history, at the beginning and throughout the games?
Here, lemme make you imply some more: Are you bad?

I like zebra's first initiative, but give me time to work it out.
- JJJ announcing, at the start of a game, that he might (or will?) have participation issues doesn't strike me as out of the ordinary. Wait till we'll try to shake low posters out of hibernation, to tell us or do something, by comparison.
- His implication that he's a minimal poster is bonkers, although I'm not aware if "minimal poster than most" is true over on RYM. Over here, he's a posting machine - in both the sense of how often he posts and how involved he is. In one recently ended game, he was killed Day 5 or 6 (out of 14 Days overall) and he was way ahead in post count by 200 or so (and finished the game as top poster).
- Nobody picking up on that (such as Golden, as zebra says) could perhaps mean that his apologetic post about being absent didn't constitute a ping for the others. But I'm just making an assumption here, the players on RYM camp would have to actually say more about this.
- One reason JJJ could have gotten less reasoned votes from Syn camp players would be that he's the more familiar face among RYM players. Just like MM's was the familiar face and popular vote, for some, among RYM guest players. I think sig wasn't the only one to put his vote on JJJ right away, but I'd need to double check the quotes on that.
- JJJ's reference to Epig being a popular victim early in games is genuine and can be backed. Although, now that you mention it, it is a bit interesting that he'd push Epig to get elected for the very reason that he draws the mafia's ire a lot of times. Then again, much of the voting reasoning wasn't too srs bizz overall, so I'm not sure how much to read into this.
- "Are you bad" off-the-bat questionings are frequent around here and not pingey. Contrary to what Llama said, however, I'd also add the "players evading a straight answer must be bad" equation is not soundproof. In fact, llama himself screwed up catching mafia with this idea more often than he managed to hook anything.
So, again, I like this scan, but I'm not sure I have strong feelings about it at the moment.

New Wave must be my least favorite good period of rock. I have to say however that Girlfriend is Better is really addictive I have it on repeat.
I've played dozens of game with JJJ. He never scumslips and he always had motivation issues when he supertown hard. He must surely have limited time to spend on mafia and he feels he has to set the mood early in to not appear as a lurker(lurker for J's standards).
This might be only a theory, please listen and expand to it. Wouldn't the guys with BTSC(mafia) have the upper hand in claiming the assistant to the CEO? They can coordinate their votes and the required votes are less than the mafia numbers(I think it's 7). With the right coordination they can set some votes after a random guy votes on of them and claim the spot for either RYM or the Syndicate.
Isn't that a little generic? Any lynch poll, options poll, extra poll etc. could in theory be influenced by a few mafia trying to take advantage of options that would suit them, if those options already got some civ votes. It's true that, for a poll in which the first to five (exceptionally, six, in JJJ and MM's case) would get elected, the window of opportunity is comfortable enough for only a handful of mafia members to blend in. But I don't find blatancy to be the most common mafia tactic, except if it happens to be that one in ten games where they'd decide to totally go balls on the walls. Judging from the result, I see a few recurrent voters among the elected (and runner-up, in RYM's case) players, but they're split between JJJ and MM on RYM's side, plus the rest of the votes are pretty spread. Shall we instantly assume the recurrent votes are the pushing ones? Idk, doesn't seem like a safe assumption, at this stage.
... reads more like banter (towards me posting so much, I guess) and like intentionally wanting a reaction out of the field; it's not strong and it doesn't clear her, but there's no arguing of her bantering ways. For me, on the low end of the spectrum, is b24's fluff post. I'm waiting to hear on his justification, as I've said, but it's the "breeziest" vote from the bunch and based on activity (or lack thereof), so far.
I addressed the current topics, the way I always do."
It's the truth, it's the truth.
