[Geoff_B]

... Which means what?

[Master Gunner]

I have absolutely no idea. I just felt like posting something.

[Duckay]

It feels like I'm just fumbling in the dark and I have no idea who to suspect. Right now I think I suspect all of you. Well. Perhaps 90% of you - I do love food, so...

[Dutch guy]

Problem is, how do we move forward from here?

[SilPho]

Without alignments how are we ever going to be able to move forward?

[Jamfalcon]

Unless someone makes a major slip-up, which is highly unlikely in a forum based game, we can basically just kill a random person each day and hope in the end we've gotten the right ones, while the mafia is able to pick off everyone they know isn't working with them.

[Geoff_B]

So just like real life then? .

Now when's this barbecue happening?

[octopimpostor]

So just like real life then? .

[SilPho]

I don't like our chances.

[aeric90]

Seriously... with no information coming we're better off just randomly picking one person every day to lynch. Even if we do have someone with a power to see alignment they're more likely to have found out that one of us is town than mafia.

So for the moment, FOS: Geoff_B - for continuing said distraction.

[octopimpostor]

I've already said that if you guys want me to. I will tell you guys. No one has spoken up.

[aeric90]

I think we need it. If we have to vote for it then I'm in.

[Jamfalcon]

I agree. I like the thought behind this method, but it doesn't look like it's going anywhere.

[Master Gunner]

I thought you meant you wanted 2/3rd majority vote on lynch to tell us the affiliation. Of course I would like to know.

Unfortunately, as nice as figuring it out entirely through role-playing would be, in this setting it just isn't feasible.

[Dutch guy]

Yeah, I agree with this. Even if we were to assume special roles could find out the affiliation of all people, they won't be coming forward if they can't be sure they have useful information. It's killing the "front-game".

BTW, guys, Duckay hasn't spoken in a long time and only made 2 posts today. Maybe a change to eliminate a lurker/absentee to atleast have a kill?

[iamafish]

sorry for my long absence guys, I've been away from home for a bit... It really looks like we're going to struggle to win this one. We can only do our best though

[Duckay]

I'm not an absentee, I just didn't have anything to contribute. Now I am suspicious of your haste to get me out of the game...! What say you to that?

[JackSlack]

I've been more absent than Duckay, mainly since without some intel, I see no point.

[aeric90]

So far the 3 people killed were the people who said the least so a strategy of silence does seem suspicious.

[SilPho]

I've already said that if you guys want me to. I will tell you guys. No one has spoken up.

*Speaks up*! We need at least something to go on

[iamafish]

yeah, this experiment was an interesting premise, but I think it means we have too little to go on in an online game

[Dutch guy]

I'm not an absentee, I just didn't have anything to contribute. Now I am suspicious of your haste to get me out of the game...! What say you to that?

I know you weren't absent, just that you posted very little. And you can be suspicious if you want, but it's not haste to get you out of the game. It doesn't involve wanting to get you out of the game. I just think we should at least lynch someone. A no-lynch isn't going to get us anywhere.
