Thank you sir. You made me realize an aspect in this game which I was too blind and/or stupid to see: Anyone can contribute to this game by bringing up arguments. If they are far fetched and stupid, they can easily be ignored. If they happen to be relevant, they can be used to figure out who might be a mafia member. This depends on active members though, but that shouldn't really be a problem this round.


I don't really have any arguments in the favour of Simoneon: He has barely posted, and the only post he has made is, indeed, only confusing.
But as I previously said, LutiChris is too obvious to be mafia. A mafia member would keep a lower profile, and not start any personal wars.

Also, Alectric has been behaving a bit off. First, he posts an accusation without any grounds (which could be an attempt to start a discussion, though) and next, he follows ES, which in previous games always has been a very safe route to go since he is smart and thus an accepted person to listen to. It could just be that he genuinely bought his argument though. So yeah, maybe that is too much speculation yet

EDIT: Argh, I was triple ninja'd. Well, I think it was a good thing in this case as it gave me some time to think

snorsorbet seems suspicious
oh, and @ naruto, I'm asking ya a question now, and want a very serious answer... "Are you mafia?"

[Evil Sonidow]

Naruto, explain your post, because you didn't say anything and in the end entered the bandwagon. Give us some reasoning why you think Simoneon should be accused.

Anyone can contribute to this game by bringing up arguments.

One has been enlighted, over 9000 to go.

Hahaha, indeed ;D

Gosh, I had to read through ~50 posts. From what I've got, I am partially accused due to inactiveness. Well, this can be cleared up. I just returned home from school (gotta love days where you have to stay at school till 5 or so). Exam and all that crap, so evening before was kind of a bad time for me to socially interact with you peepz. Enough info on my private life?

With that, you basically accused yourself by announcing a random name.

So, I fear that we don't have any good information yet to accuse anyone while being at least 50%-ly sure that he is belonging to mafia. Experience has shown that "no kill" is a useless alternative to random accusing. This just gives mafia one round more to bash the brains out of you.

I don't really have any arguments in the favour of Simoneon: He has barely posted, and the only post he has made is, indeed, only confusing.

This, my friend, is the skill of using reverse psychology in the right manner. You cannot tell if Simon's a citizen that wants to seed suspicion among us or if he is a mafia-member that acts pseudo-dumb. He is no idiot, so he might be useful later on in helping to evaluate plans to take out the mafiosi. It is bad to lose one smart guy (blowfly, that is) but it's even worse if we lose two. We should risk it. If the evidence is there, we can still lynch him.

But as I previously said, LutiChris is too obvious to be mafia. A mafia member would keep a lower profile, and not start any personal wars.

Don't forget, we have a bunch of newcomers in here. New people means: new situation. Everyone acts differently, so don't make up your mind too fast.


As for accusing, I'll have to refrain from mentioning any new names. The bold names I read are enough. Adding any new will just increase suspicion even more.

[snorsorbet]

Yes, you are probably right, I am being a bit hasty.

But I don't really think Simoneon is mafia. I chatted with him, and he just seemed to not be enjoying the game. It could be an act, though

[Evil Sonidow]

My personal belief is Luti. He might not be mafia, but he's not a loss anyway.
