Elcenia Mafia Game Thread

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

Actually, Alicorn, Nemo, if a majority voted COIN would you flip it for us regardless of the other votes?

I'd be worried about accidentally outing any double voters by trying to access THE COIN.

How would the bad guys control who we vote for? It would be the numbers generated by a specific average day, and everyone would influence what that day was.
I commit to vote for whoever is chosen by the generator as long as there isn't a very good reason not to, like iron man in the last game or something similar. I will also not vote for myself obviously.
Although now I am curious if people can vote for themselves?

edited for mobile caused maybe blasphemous typos. I will only have access to mobile this weekend.

THE COIN does not come and go in response to MORTAL WHIM. You may not vote for it. IT WILL FLIP WHEN IT IS CALLED UPON IN GENUINE NEED BUT IT IS NOT YOUR TOY. FEAR THE COIN. RESPECT THE COIN. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SUMMON IT TO DO YOUR WICKED DEEDS WHEN YOU HAVE NOT EVEN BEGUN TO GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY.

Welp, there goes that idea. I agree with BSS that trying to deliberately engineer a nineteen-way tie is madness that is near-guaranteed to be resolved in favour of whoever secretly has vote-screwing powers, even assuming we manage to set it up with total unanimity and no last-minute backstabs.

Alright, and that RNG seems at least semi-trustworthy, so I'm willing to precommit to vote for it, with all of Kappa's caveats plus two extras: I'm not going to vote for myself, and I might change my vote based on whatever happens from modrony's idea, if I get a better understanding of how it works and it seems reasonable. But odds are I'll end up just following the RNG.

"I'm not going to vote for myself" was one of my caveats too.

I'm going to tentatively commit to following the RNG with all of Kappa's caveats, plus I might decide against it based on ~feelings~ because, as Kappa said, we might as well, it's the first day and we don't have much to go on so I might as well be a bleeding heart now when the stakes are lower.

I'll also sheep the RNG unless someone seems particularly suspicious to me.

More related to meta than to killing, but who do you think would make up the mafia/killers in Elcenia? Like for Effulgence it was the Downside torturers and the Joker, but the only thing I'm coming up with for Elcenia is maybe the one country who found Splay?
