An observation I just had:
Last game, the mods sometimes cut a night short. This time, the mods have expressed an intention not to do that.
I believe it's traditional in IRL mafia games, although I have never played an online one so I don't know how it transfers, that the private communication channel available to the mafia is only active during the night.
Even if not, it seems like killers with a private communication channel might get more benefit out of a guaranteed night length than killers without.
So the guaranteed night length in this game might represent evidence that we are more likely to have an actual mafia or mafia-like thing rather than last game's cult/SK combo.
Also, let's have the countdown box again:

I agree that spreadsheets are cool. I just made a text document.
I think we should try to reserve some time to discussion and there are some people doing this already.
Hopefully we have more people tomorrow.
I am going to kick us off. Please, if you don't have a candidate in mind; don't open the spoiler before you do.
Solid candidates aren't necessarily needed. If you suspect someone even a bit without being told to, that is already better than random chance. It is perfectly alright to qualify a suspicion as low confidence.
Also note that you aren't committing to a vote by presenting your candidate. The purpose is to see if any trends emerge and to discuss.
If no trends emerge, we should probably go back to voting for Aesterix.
Please don't present candidates you didn't come to on your own volition. We don't want any false positives.

Rereading the beginning of the thread to determine my most suspicious person. I've been travelling a lot recently, so I haven't been as active as I'd like, but I will try to get out my list of characters and powers soon. Might not happen before the second day though, so I'll just apologize for that now.
Having reread the Elcenia magic-types pages, does anyone thing we will be seeing magery, sorcery, or merfolk magic?

They didn't really strike me as suitable for turning into mafia powers when I was reading over the magic pages but it's possible Alicorn managed to cone up with something, I guess.

Can I change my vote to no lynch? If I can I would like to but I didn't realize that was an option.

@wolffreak all you have to do to change your vote is write "no lynch" in bold!
Here are my suspicions. I still think RNGs are a better bet on the first day than going off of intuition because we have so little information, so I'm not going to commit to voting on mine, but if, at the end of the day, we've decided that Aestrix is almost certainly innocent, this is who I'll switch to: (having difficulties with the spoiler box so they're just in regular blocked-out spoiler form): Shoal is suspicious because they jumped on PDV even though we have almost no information to go on. Also DanielH is suspicious because he hasn't been participating as he was at this point last game, but I don't find him as suspicious as Shoal.

I feel like people keep confusing me for other people. Last game and now here too. -.-
Just to be clear, I did not vote for PDV, nor did I even mention them in any of my posts this game until now. I voted for Aestrix because the RNG produced her number, but I'll withdraw my vote for Aestrix since we've come up with a better system.

Well, I was going to save this another half-day, but we're apparently revealing our written-down suspicions
now, so I guess I'm going to do that too so I can look at everyone else's without getting contaminated at all.
