Okay.
When so many folks jumped onto my suggestion of Hunty, and Hunty never showed or self-preserve voted, that read like what was about to happen.
My alternative there was to jump on stargate18, or create a three way tie. Didn't seem like the wisest move to do at the last second, and on no discussion.
Please note, there are 9 players alive.
Traditionally there are 3 mafia in a game this size. That means that today is considered "final nine", typically, eliminate correctly or lose the game happens Tomorrow Day, which is Day Four.
That means we are one wrong guess away from a serious problem.
4 townies versus 3 mafia, is the smallest town can get, before town loses. That would be
tomorrow, if things go poorly today.
We have 6 townies and 3 mafia, most likely.
There's strategy behind this situation, specifically, "the day
before the day you can't guess wrong or you lose."
There's a term for it,
eliminate correctly or lose Minus One Day, shortened to
"Elim/lose -1"
Sounds kind of specific, but here is how it works. If we were to hold on to our secrets until tomorrow, meaning, our roles and information, what ends up happening is the mafia team can just tell lies, and there's not enough time to punish them if we believe their lies once.
Here, there IS time. So, this is generally the day when a full "mass claim" happens, because tomorrow is mechanically too late. There's no margin for error.
So, if you're new to these kinds of games, today is the day when we should claim our roles and information, cop checks if we have them, hidden information.
You are not allowed to quote your role PM, but you can say what sort of role you are and what youve been up to all game.
If you're town with no powers, it's good to say so, if you have powers that you haven't claimed yet, today is the last day to do so and still be believed.
I strongly believe it is to everyone's (town) benefit to claim our powers and power usage from night one onward.
@Big Boss Man
please claim your information, I would like to start with you specifically.
