, at which point we will default to no elimination.

With nine players alive, it takes

to reach majority.

This is where we all point fingers at each other until someone does something that other people can latch on to, yes?

VOTE: Frogsterking

I have reasons, and I will even explain them! On request, I can explain them in any of these unique styles:

Mad scientist
Divine prophesy <-- Today's special!
Very upset historian
Philosopher (esoteric) <-- A personal favorite!
Conspiracy theorist
Normal person

But I'm probably going to default to normal person. Less confusing that way.

Hey guys! I'm very excited to start this game! I will post a longer introductory post later after I've done the dishes before my gf gets back!

I was curious though so I wanted to bite:

Second post of the game.

So I'm Shelly, having played one scum game (Newbie 2019) if you want to meta-dive. Played mafia IRL and have chat mafia experience.

By the way, what's the explanation of your vote? Normal person explanation would be fine.

VOTE: MUSHSHAGANA for being the first poster

Oops didn't notice someone had posted before me, that was the third post of the game.

Frogster, you haven't started by RVS (random voting). In a low info stage, why don't you vote?

Any special reasons from those PoVs? Just curious

Probably because those two were marked as the best/most exclusive and the price for all of them was the same so I chose what seemed to be the most valuable at that point in time!

I will! I want at least a little time to think about it. I have to run to Target now to pick up some dish scrapers bfore i can do the dishes. My GF is in a bad mood today.

Ahem.

LO, it was told that there would be Two and Seven, and the Two were to be friends only to The Adversary (cursed be his name), and the Seven were to withstand their predations. "For one night, and all of ye may die", so it is written.
And it was foretold that the Seven WOULD NOT KNOW the Two, and that they might only withstand their siege by counting out those among them, and proclaiming one to be of the Two.
And I TELL YOU, we are in this time, and the Two ARE among us. We cannot know their faces nor their natures, yea, they do stalk among us like SHADOWS. And there is but one way to DRAW FORTH the TRUTH: ye must VOTE on who ye believe belong to the Two.
And NOW do I cast my vote down: yea, though it is surely mistaken, it will elicit reaction, whereby one might get information. And I pick one of the OLD and WISE among us, I tell you THEIR EXPERIENCE will guide us to the light! And they bear the face of a frog, one of those Unclean Spirits of The Adversary -- so I do not have a shame to feel, should they be truly ajudged guilty by us.
Praise be to the Moderator!

And two...

Let us understand the nature of the world in which we exist: there are seven Innocents, and two Murderers. There is no escape: this place is a grave. Whether we are disentombed before we suffocate is a matter of our actions: we can only work together to reopen that gate to the world of life when we can trust our backs to remain unsullied by knives, our necks to resist the garrote.
The Murderers, we shall see, are symbols of that Final Death. And the Innocents symbolize that there is no life too pure for the Reaper.
Among us, cloaked in darkness such that we can only hear our own voices (the fire of Plato gone out, snuffed by an anti-Prometheus), we have those who are new to this, but no more innocent than others, for change is feared and fear has only a few reactions -- one of which is fighting, violence. And we have those who are old, and are intended to guide us, for they have been in this pit before, and we may all very well return, perhaps together, perhaps apart. It is in their interests to teach us the Ways by which they have survived, for we all are innocent at times and murderers at others.
But they have goals of their own, and they may be vicious or kind, pure or caked in filth: we cannot know. The darkness, it is absolute. We can only find them by their voices, grasp tightly, and threaten them, accusatory, outraged, and see how they respond: for truth comes out of conflict, as only conflict can dissolve lies.

And finally...

It seemed smartest to vote on one of the experienced players. They're more likely to understand what happens in the RVS, and they're going to react, or fail to react, accordingly. There's three, and I have one vote. So I picked Frogsterking because he has "king" in the name.
This has a somewhat higher chance of being someone who flusters easily, because royal titles in usernames tend to correspond with nerdy people or people who think highly of themselves. That's not a perfect correlation, just a recurring theme I've noticed in my, uh, 19 years online. This point is basically a game of chance and I didn't bother researching anyone this game for meta, so that seemed like the best way to maximize chances of getting information.

Occurs to me I didn't do an introduction of myself really!

I've had a couple games of experience here.... like 3 and a half years ago.

(I forgot my username, and even if I had remembered it, I've lost all of the information I could use to get back into that account. So I made another, it's been a long time anyway and I need to get the rust off of me. Old username is "cassielle" for the interested, found it earlier today. Fair warning, it's likely to be misleading for meta, I was under way more real life stress at that time.)

I also had, even before that, a Mafia game on another forum. Or two games? Not sure, it's been a looooong time.

But functionally, I'm brand new. Forgot damn near everything.

Never played Mafia off of a forum, I feel like it'd be less interesting to me: I like the asynchronous nature, the way it lets you overthink yourself into a corner, and so on. It feels like a more immediate medium would rely more on intuition and gut feeling and charisma than strategy and psychology, and I'm just not into that.

Oh okay.

Gotta get you back for last game.

I was gonna go with conspiracy theorist. That’s always fun. But if you wanna be normal, I guess you can.

I know cryptography isn’t allowed so I am decoding it for everyone. I am breadcrumbing my alignment:

I'm feeling pretty good and looking forward to playing again! I have a question for you: are you Italian?

That’s cool, same here. And nope. It’s the same name I use in WeBL. I’m actually a colored fella. Can I say that? Do I have to say “African American”?

Err I cared more about your location but thanks for sharing! There's so much to learn about everyone! I'm a gemini and I like long walks and playing racquetball every day.

Only one of those things is true but it sounded nice

The only problem about this exchange is that this is not General Discussion Forum.

VOTE: Redados

By the way, I'm a game show nerd, a board game nerd and a weeb. I mod 10-times more IRL (Werewolf) games than playing those.

I suck at Mafia and if you guys vote me, then I suck too.

Well! If we're doing THAT kind of introduction... only one of the following statements is ENTIRELY true:

I am a published author who has worked with notable horror authors like Laird Barron or Adam Washington.
I have been homeless for nine years.
I drink like a fish.
My middle name quite literally is Fraudulence.
I eat very little food, and people are alarmed by my diet.
