Well I missed not very much. Just going to answer **** as I go through the thread in one post.
u know whats weirder? u going after tardis
I really don't see how that's weird? I've never played a game with
Tardis and don't really read his posts in any other games (besides mine because I was forced to) because he seems to post useless crap. He legit posted like 30 seconds after my post and I went ??? da hell? It just seemed super out of place and random at the time to suggest a mafia strongman and then add the
IF I WAS MAFIA thing at the end. He has posted more in the day while I was asleep and I can see that nothing he really posts ever makes much sense or contribution, but I don't really want to just write him off as a spammer? That seems kind of stupid.
Ness did jump on that like a fat kid on cake though, and hasn't really come back when he's in the ideal timezone for this game so I find that really weird.

@ Entropy - Keeping in mind that it's still Day 1 and the game just started, I have to say that I agree that Minties seems a little scummy so far, primarily based on how she answered the questions. Whilst it is true that she has repeatedly said prior to the game starting that she was not overly excited to join another TBT Mafia game already, the following statements seems very out-of-character for her:
Whilst I can understand that she's not quite as enthusiastic as she normally would be to participate in this game, fact remains that she is incredibly competitive when it comes to Mafia and always really want to win. I would dare say that it goes against her nature to some extent to participate in a game yet not put considerable effort into it, and I think that ultimately she would beat herself up a fair bit if she didn't do her best. That said, I guess we'll have to wait and see how she acts after the game really kicks off - But keep a close eye on her.
I do like the fishing for reactions out of me here. Was it not majorly you that guilt tripped me into playing this game when I wanted to take a break because I lost a good friend because of mafia? "Minties play even though you really don't want to and feel ****ty" "Minties is sus because she doesn't want to try hard!!!!" Okay, friend. I never said I was going to go full Runeraider mode and lurk the whole game. I'm just taking a step back because I feel kind of crappy about the situation and would rather focus my energy on more positive things.

Well this is cool because so far there have been lots of great thoughts, and I don't even have much to say because others have raised my concerns/questions etc. already. At this point I do want to say that I find Minties suspicious because of everything she's posted so far. She says that she will not be too interested/active in this game, but immediately shows interest in Tardis for what is in my opinion not suspicious at all.
I also think that Entropy made a good point about Hayden's post, although I don't know their playstyle well and wouldn't go as far to call it scummy, I think it's probably an indicator, and I trust Entropy's judgement.
The last thing to note is Ness going as far as to "vote" for Tardis, which seems pretty bizarre and extreme so early.
I find it kind of interesting how
Ashtot is playing here though. He comes in and essentially repeats everything that everyone has been saying and then poofs again. He usually contributes more posts when it's this far into day. It's out of character for him to take games generally seriously, so that's why I have this gut feeling on him. Just feels like something isn't right.

Don't say this or
Sataric will rip your **** off and beat you to death with them while calling you a bully like he did to me in previous games.

I just don't like that answer I underlined and bolded ; v ; How many times have you been town/mafia/third party in total so far? o:
I don't know, I've lost count. I don't really care either way and never have, so that's how I universally feel. I think any role gives a player an opportunity to practise playing, which in my mind everyone needs to practise getting better all the time, even me.
--
I'm not really sure why Minties and Ness are sus of me maybe they are trying to make me look bad when I just said I think mafia might have a strongman.
As who I'm sus of it is Hayden. I'm willing to consider that he has school and can't post.
I just pointed out the weirdness of your statement. If ANYONE other than you had said that, you can be sure mostly everyone here would be foaming at the mouth trying to kill you. I think they give too much of a pass to players they consider "bad". You said the same kind of things in my AoT mafia, so that's why I'm not just going to write you off as a bad player like everyone else has.

There's two things I wish to bring forward as potential 'tactics' for this game.
First, since the King / Leader (which could be anyone, including a new and inexperienced player) is the sole decider of whom gets lynched each day, yet they cannot out themselves or their intentions on whom to lynch too much, I think it MAY be wise for the person that got the most "purple votes" put onto themselves as the day approaches it's end to consider openly claiming. That may sound very dangerous and risky, but unlike in kingmaker games, we cannot have any sort of "intent to hammer" warnings in this one, and it is always better to claim and live than it is to not claim and get mislynched. A little unorthodox perhaps but unless the leader is a very experienced player sure of themselves, it may be the wisest course of action.
Secondly, I want to talk about scum numbers. The win conditions listed in the opening post and on the only publicly known role very clearly states that all HOSTILE Third Party needs to be eliminated in order to win the game. Note that this win condition is also listed for Mafia. This leads me to believe that there is definitely some kind of Serial Killer role in the game. Potentially also a secondary Third Party that isn't hostile. Furthermore, a game of this size would likely have around 4 or 5 Mafia. This means that there could potentially be a lot of deaths already on N1 and that if we have any blue roles with "limited use" powers, it may be better to use them sooner rather than later, with the exception of Vigilantes perhaps unless you're very confident you'll hit scum.
Thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks.
How is it dangerous to claim when you're on the block if you're town? Everyone that is town SHOULD be doing that if they're about to be mislynched. They don't help us very much if they're dead, do they? It's not unorthodox, it should be standard practise. The amount of times I've nearly pulled my hair out when a ****ing blue gets lynched without claiming is astronomical.
Anyone with limited powers should be using them on N1 if they feel they're in danger, except for perhaps a vigilante. Unless the vig role went to an experienced person, the chance of hitting town is so high that it's better to wait until more discussion and clearer targets have come to light. A SK is really the only hostile third party role I can think of and Dolby likes to put them in his games, so it's very likely that there's one.
These are kind of general mafia game play and common knowledge instead of "tactics". I feel like a lot of your posts have been more fluffy than usual with general knowledge put in there to make it look like you're contributing a massive amount of words.

Oh nope, you're right LOL My bad, it was a grammar mistake ahaha xD When you put it that way, it definitely seems odd LOL I had to read it 3 times to understand what you meant ahaha!
Can I just ask why
Miharu's slip is written off as a grammar slip, yet "to the town" boy
Ness over there was lynched in TWO games for grammar?

Sorry for the wall of text, I just didn't want to make 500 posts because I've got a massive headache. Tardis please don't just quote the bloody wall and put one line of text under. You're doing my head in when trying to read on mobile.
