I mean, if you guys are gonna let other people steamroll you into making your votes theres not much I can do, and its probably gonna be another mafia win in smogons long history of mafia sided NOC wins. Never good to zero in on your first suspicious target for most of the entire day, either.
What happened here was typical KENYAN being KENYAN, but more specifically KENYAN being KENYAN when hes a villager. I dont play this recklessly or not pay attention as much as this when Im a mafia, and most of you already know this. Im always a lot more careful as a mafia, either idling and letting my team take actions for me or just following orders, and definitely not as loose lipped in the logs with Ullar. And I think if those who know me in this game are completely honest with themselves they will see that.
You an rarely have any definitive proof of a town read or a scum read in any of these NOC type games; you just have to go with whats most likely, after a lot of prodding and talking and reasoning. Convoluted theories have no places in a NOC mafia. Always go with the simplest and most logical, given everything considered, and if you dont, youll drive yourself insane.
What I think we should do is really push for that No Lynch. This is a big mafia game after all, with a night OC, so I think its pretty stupid to just vote somebody off the first day when you have a lot of other days and every night to get more substantial info out of with the help of big roles in this game that are definitely here because they are in every other big mafia game.
With all that said, Im gonna vote
No Lynch
Im gonna take this time to make a few more observations about this game:

This is the player list that macle posted consisting of the people that have posted not at all or very little so far. And I believe its safe to say that most of the mafia are outside of this list. If there are any of them in there, they are going to be the known idlers or new players, like xenu(new player) and RODAN(known idler). The known idler will just idle even if his mafia team needs him, and the new mafia player will with a great possibility, even with guidance from a good mafia leader, be paralyzed to post given his ignorance on how to play the game.
It seems safe to say that most of the mafia are ones that have already posted, because given that its a big game, there are strong players on both sides, villager and mafia. A good mafia leader that is surely there is most likely gonna have a game plan where they are active, but not trying to look too much like they are trying too hard, targeting others on their own team with arguments, etc. Its hard for me to believe that the good mafia leaders would have a game plan that would consist of idlers or people that barely post at all. Also because even if it were in the general team plans, it would be a bad one. Posts are power in this game, given the vote and the amount of people rendered hopeless by it, thinking they cant do anything about my lynch, and idling will eventually catch up with you.
Because the other people who just bandwagoned in a vote have done substantial things otherwise,
Its not town to glean by things without explaining them, especially lynch votes. Now granted, some people might have the exact same reasoning for something and there may be no choice, but that doesnt excuse them.
besides the total noob, whom prodding which prove meaningless and pointless.
Strange you say that. Prodding a new player is going to get you your most clearest reads, because he will most likely do the typical things a new player townie or a new player mafia would do. Doesnt condemn you in my eyes, but that is a scummy thing to say. People should always be prodded, no matter who they are.
OK, well that post was extremely "make no enemies". If you HAD to choose a player to lynch besides TIK, who would it be? Please provide explanation with your answer.
These next couple of posts that happened on page 9 and 10 when the lynch momentum on me looked all but decided jump out at me.
Ditto post from Page 9:
UNVOTE
LYNCH BASS
HE DESTROYED MY CUTE AVATAR AND CLEARLY ONLY A MAFIA WOULD DO THIS! NOT EVEN A JOKE! PLEASE LYNCH HIM!

I agree! Screw Walrein (he got the shaft too!!!)
Lynch Bass
At this point in the game, it seemed like they were comfortable enough with what was going on to make jokes, despite all the other things that they could have been doing. Its hard for me to believe that a townie would be this comfortable with the game at this point. Joke posts are scummy in any place but the random voting stage, especially when there are other things you could be doing, like talking to other people or trying to deduce things. They look like posts a scum would make if their team had a seeming stranglehold on the vote situation during the day.
