Alicornutopia

Also, nobody openly committed to it but today's random number is 6 (DanielH).

Tomorrow's random number is here and does not yet exist. However...

Ah, I get it now. It's not an information-delaying tactic, it's an anti-idea-contamination tactic. Yeah, I can work with that. It seems only very slightly better than the RNG, but that's still better, so I'm switching to it. I don't have a name written down yet, since I want to comb over the thread a bit more first, but I'll probably put one down within the next couple hours.

I like modrony's tactic more than I like the RNG tactic. Reason why: have you noticed how many people have jumped aboard the Aestrix bandwagon and then failed to explain it or justify it? I suspect half of the people trying to kill me haven't even thought about why, they just don't have anyone else that's convenient to kill. Which sort of annoys me. It doesn't benefit the town as a whole if everyone fails to talk, and more grievously, fails to think. You want to kill me? Fine. But back up your reasoning, talk to your fellow townies, keeping things to yourself and failing to participate gives the mafia a place to hide. That is, if no one's talking, the mafia doesn't need to.

Okay yes I agree the anti idea contamination sounds like a good idea. I'll go through the thread and do that.
Just so you guys know, though, the rng can be made to produce multiple numbers so if everyone changes their minds they do not have to wait until the next day.

Multiple numbers?

Yeah! When you're choosing things about the numbers generated, you can include how many it makes! So a url for today to make, say, 5 numbers would have been https://www.random.org/integers/?num=5& ... 2015-04-19 and the difference is in where it says num= .

That will be useful if we want to create multiple numbers in the future, but it won't help us right this minute because all of today's numbers exist now.

Yeah but it seems like a good thing for more people to know so we aren't eg stuck waiting for a day because whoever was generated role claimed with Moderator confirmation.

I have suspicions (which I have thought about in enough detail to remember, and thus writing them down is redundant) about who is innocent. I don’t have suspicions about who’s guilty.

modrony’s idea certainly seems better than killing based on an RNG. Obviously, modrony’s idea also does not oppose kappa’s plan, which I still think everyone should be acting on. I noted down a suspicion from early on that wasn’t influenced by another player’s suspicion. I will vote based on that suspicion if there doesn’t seem to be a better choice by the end of the game day.
