Standard mafia rules are in effect, with the following addons, mostly lifted from Azrael.
1. Do -not- talk about this game with -anyone-. anyone. Players, dead players, bystanders, your mom, whatever. The only exception is, of course, if your role specifies it.
2. No editing. Threat of modkill. Blah blah blah.
3. Posting in large text is fine. Using images is also allowed, so long as forum rules would not prohibit them.
4. Be careful about paraphrasing your role PMs. And whatever you do, don’t quote them.
5. Any role that can converse during the night, can converse during the day.
6. None of the above rules apply if correspondence from me directly overrides them.
7. YOU CANNOT VOTE FOR THE MOD. CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT. Also can’t.
8. As a service from the mod, once per game, each player gets the chance to request an official vote count. Please type, in bold, the words “Vote Count”, and you will have used your vote count for the game. No votes from the time of the official request until the time of my count are valid. Normal vote counts will still happen at regular intervals, of course.
9. Yes, there are some patterns in my PMs. Some of them are intentional, some not. A couple of them, I left out: again, sometimes intentionally, sometimes by screwup. If you analyze by these patterns, you will be pretty screwed.

Alright, so, there are, like White Stripes songs. But some of them are evil and want to kill the other ones! Why are they evil? Uhh, because it’s Mafia, someone has to be evil, damn it, otherwise the game would suck . =/ I mean obviously.
We start at Night 1. All roles are active night one, so try to get night choices in with confirmation pms!
Day will begin at X PM, Tuesday, September 5th.

You wake up to see two people dead. The first is HAWKEYE7, stabbed to an untimely death near his trusty piano. How sad. The second is Bertrand, killed by some sort of blunt force injury to the back of the head. On further inspection, he seems to be a bad guy! So I guess that’s not that sad.

Mafia. Look, I’ll be honest with you. I’ve never listened to this song. Ever. So I can’t really give you an exciting role. But you are mafia, that’s kinda exciting!

Town-aligned. You get two votes: one for yourself, and one for your totally awesome piano…Okay, well, that really comes out to both for yourself.
Day 1 has begun, 19 alive, 10 to lynch. Have fun.

WAH?! The game is up! Yeah, i can't see that anyone's voting in any reasonable pattern...although the fact that two people have voted for kakusho might suggest an organized pattern? Far more likely that it's nothing though...

Yea, I have seen that song live & own the cd that the song is on. Being Mafia is better is more exciting IMHO.
nymphe; Of cource on one is voting random it is the start of day one.

...
yeah
unvote, vote nymphe this is just a strange post...nymphe seems to be hedging his bets..."there may be a pattern, but there may not be"
at the moment, this is the closest we have to a pattern
EBWODP:not pattern, but the closest we have to a lead
Vote: Beaker
seriously?
Nymphe has 12 posts on this site, and I'm going to guess that this is one of if not his first game of mafia. He probably has never seen random voting and may think people know something he doesn't. And "Hedging his bets"? it's his first post of the game, and he may have no clue what he's doing. And that post is far from a lead, however stretching one post that much is a much better lead to me.
@enigma: if you look at the posts he's made, he's been in one game before
and at this point, is there any better lead than that?
And in that game more of his posts were pointless and had nothing to do with the game? He made 7 posts there, and was lynched day 2 for lurkiness, I don't think he's all too experience yet. So yes I believe you for going after an obvious beginner what looks to me like just a newbie post to be a much better lead.
Beaker's eagerness to take obvious newb play on nymphe's part and vote him/her for it is suspicious.
More suspicious than that, though, is CF's 'semi-random' vote #2 on Nymphe and then his immediate switch to Enigma as soon as someone calls him on his obv. bandwagon vote of Nymphe.
Poop, the day would have to start while I was out, figures... Oh well, nothing to do now but:
Vote - Cyan, you have got to be scum, crap, already beaten to that one, so
unvote, Vote - Kokusho, Always a good opening play, I don't care which one it is... Dangit! how about Unvote, Vote - creampuffeater, no one wanders in and out on my watch... I will be ever vigilant, I will never rest, I... will just sit down for a second...
But seriously Beaker, WTF mate? you are reeeeeally streching it there trying to assign scum tells from post one from nymphe there... Bad form...
"No, I specifically heard denim. Looks like so crafty ghost is trying to break our code" -Bravo 3 "I know nothing of the law, only vengence" -Dom, U/G madness
I think random votes shouldn't have a meaning, that would make them not-random. And 'Cyan is always scum' is a getting a little outdated I think.
You're welcome
Unvote
There's an ongoing(probably permanent) discussion that 'random' votes are almost never actually random. They don't usually really mean anything, but generally they're just votes that people place for stupid crap like personal grudges, revenge, etcetera. It should really be called the 'nonsense voting stage'.
Ahh, mafia. There's nothing quite like your ambiance of paranoia, wild finger-pointing.
Take poor Nymphe, for example. There falls on him, for simple noobishness and perhaps being a little over-vocal, no small amount of suspicion. Day three or so we may really see mafia tells; but this is day one - early day one. Don't reap more than has been sown. Or boy, we might regret it.
Seek a weirdness in a person's writing. (Like me waxing all poetic, using coinages like "weirdness" and faux-proverbs like "Don't reap more than has been sown" - though I'm quite fond of the proverb.) If no explanation is forthcoming, you may have your man. I find the innocent explanation for Nymphe quite plausible, though, and find Occam's Razor to be a useful tool even in games as steeped in sinister conspiracy as mafia.
As for me? I've just been reading way too much old poetry this week. Thank God it's Friday! (The irony that I tend to write flowerily when I'm happy that I don't have to read flowery writing for a couple of days is not lost on me, I assure you.)

1. This is indeed my first real game of mafia. If you really care enough you can go read my post about why i couldn't fulfill my playing duties in newb mafia, but's it's probably enough just to be aware that this is indeed my first real game of mafia.
2. In my first game of mafia, i was indeed a mafioso, and the one thing i learned in my VERY BRIEF period of playing is that it's not fun to post when you're mafia...which brings me to my next point.
Only fadeblue, diggy, and mosschop have yet to say anything.
4. However, I really can't ignore Coiled Flame's bandwagoning of me and near-instant switching of votes upon being called on it. So...Vote Coiled Flame. It's really the best vote i can think of that's based entirely on logic, as opposed to probability or, of course, the random vote.

"Domanatrices are like dentists...you pay them to hurt you!"
Time to officially check in. I've just been sitting back and observing so far, since there are several newer players in this game.
Anyway, let's try to start the analysis early:
1. nymphe's post is a possible minor tell, but it's more likely nothing. Not a lead at this point.
2. Beaker's eagerness to jump on nymphe for that post is a slightly stronger tell. Possible lead.
3. If Beaker turns out to be scum, Enigma91 gets townie points.
4. Coiled Flame's bandwagonning, sudden switching to Enigma91 (why!?), then finally the OMGUS on Crippled, are either scummy or pure newbish. Not sure which yet. Possible lead.
There are a few other things I'm keeping my eye on that I won't mention yet. We'll see how the day plays out.
Based on Coiled's play in Newb 9 (Not 7, Wuffles...), I'd say that he's just newb...
Kinda like me, actually
But he was scum in that game... Well, it's irrelevant anyway - what's important is his behavior now. I'm going to content myself with an FOS Coiled Flame for the time being.
Considering neither Diggy nor mosschop have posted, I will Unvote, Vote Diggy, FOS mosschop to bring out our lurkers.

I killed Koku N1 in Star Trek, lynched day 1 in an offsite game, and both countless times in IRC mafia. He's out to get me at this point.

So yes I believe you for going after an obvious beginner what looks to me like just a newbie post to be a much better lead.
I agree, he seems to have played very little mafia before. Besides, its always better to pick on the newbies! This is semi-random vote.
