Which infidel should we kill first?

I tentatively agree that DanielH should die soonish, but also I think there should be a major element of randomness to our murders. That way, they can't be traced back to us. Tempting as it is to say, "Murder Paradox because he's on my list" it's not actually the smart tactical decision. Someone at random sounds way better, at least for now, that way we can preserve the longevity of our glorious religion.

I'm not sure it actually makes sense to kill based on RNG. It would if we knew absolutely nothing about the other players (e.g. if Alicorn had assigned roles at random and the game had started with a night), but it feels like we should be able to use people's posts today, plus maybe some guesses as to what THE GODS might have assigned to whom, to give us a better idea of who might be a power role.

Hmm, fair. Wait and see, then, RNG if we don't have any bright ideas?

Maybe we should default to killing people who did well/were persuasive in the last game? That's something that doesn't identify any of us in particular as mafia, plus it's what people will actually expect the mafia to do and so won't give them any new information.

(We could also kill modrony again just for the lulz--he's already been suggested in thread!--, but that seems mean...)

not modrony because he was first last time and i think it would be unduly mean. also, anyone suggesting or mentioning that they're doing that note taking thing and trying to take extra measures against their tendency to be influenced by other's opinions, those should be left alive longer. so anthusiasm too. and me if i were town because i'm totally susceptible to this.

also, anyone who is playing this game but wasn't playing last time, i think we should let them have one night. after that, they're fair game. but i think we all felt bad for modrony and andais last time when they barely got to play.

here are the people who were playing last time who aren't in our group:
Alphabeta
(anthusiasm)
BlueSkySprite
DanielH
futurevision
michaelblume
Paradox
PlainDealingVillain
tau

of these, I think futurevision might be sheepy, or at least they were really quiet last game, PDV is probably an easy lynch at some point, as is alphabeta, so i wouldn't pick them for nightkills

maybe BSS, or Daniel - I agree he should go soon but not sure about night 1 or not. or if anyone else drops powerrole tells.

The problem with 'You played well last time' is that I think I'd be on the hitlist, but I suppose that's up for debate.

(Yes, let's not kill modrony again for the lulz, the game's about having fun!)

Right, but we're the ones carrying out the hits! You're fine, relax.

Yes jalapeno, I know :P

I'm not worried about you guys killing me, I'm worried about a pattern implicating me in mafia activities xD
