Effulgence Mafia Game Thread

Not the kind with cardstock and pawns. Mostly play by post Mafia so far.

Well, I'm no longer napping. Let's address some statements.
DanielH wrote:@tau,modrony From my readings on Mafia strategy, there is a potential flaw in your plan of “lynch iff odd” for vanilla Mafia. The Mafia have a No Kill option, and they can also see that killing isn’t actually in their best interests. Then, nobody ever dies.
The problem with that idea is that if the mafia never kill and there is a cop in the game, eventually the town knows exactly who to lynch. There is usually a cop. Thus, the impetus lies on the mafia to give the game inevitability.

Unfortunately, I think he’s falling prey to the Illusion of Transparency or I’m just being really dense, because I can’t figure out what the claimed role actually is. My best guess is “maybe Carrina”.
It's less that I'm falling victim to the Illusion of Transparency, and more that I know what I've said about myself is vague. I'm not expecting anyone to know exactly who I am at this point. I'm also bad at roleplaying, I just feel an impulse to say something based on my identity sometimes.

And now everybody is doing crypto. I had hoped that wouldn't come up in this game, I have to put up with it enough in my normal life. But, here you go:

I am going to make an early public claim that I'm not an ordinary townsperson.

Vote: BlueSkySprite as per Daniel's link
Request the lynching does not actually occur until BlueSkySprite has a chance to rebuttal

Changing vote to: lynch BlueSkySprite as agreed.
I'll be up for 2 hours still and will continue checking this thread for counter arguments.

I think that the randomly chosen number thing is a better option than the ones before it, but I still don't think that lynching someone on the first day is something we should do without overwhelming evidence (that, frankly, we don't have). I want to give investigators time to investigate, yes we have a better chance of killing a mafia member at random chance rather than leaving it to them, but it's still not a good chance, and it'll mean one less potentially helpful person kicking around. I'm leaving my vote.

Also Changing my vote to lynch BlueSkySprite. Having thought about it more, I’m pretty sure lynching is the correct behavior.

I think we might learn something from the way BlueSkySprite responds. People that are convinced by BlueSkySprite's arguments can switch to Daniel, people convinced by his arguments can switch to futurevision, etc.

I'm not saying this to convince you (Aestrix) to change your vote, though.

I anticipate going to bed soon, but probably not right this second. I'll lose HP on habitrpg if I'm up another 3 hours, and I'm hoping to be in bed within 1 hour.

Voting BlueSkySprite for now. Willing to change if given sufficiently strong counter-arguments.

I have a very good reason to believe this would be detrimental to the entire village.

(I am not entirely sure I understood the reasoning behind the cryptography, because I was skimming all 6 pages of it at some speed, but I think this is what needs to happen? Sorry, I just got caught up.)
