I'm not talking about the number of town and scum players, I'm talking about if one town person doesn't vote then mafia can block the lynch.

How can that happen? As Lift wrote:

Am I missing something here?

1. sshhh, calm down. have a hot beverage. Take your time. bookwyrm has only 1 vote. it takes the majority to lynch (7/12) so even without bookwyrm (and 4 others) someone can be lynched.
2. try not to double post. this may get you modkilled.
3. Town does not automatically lose just because we no-lynch D1. it sucks but it's not end of game. But if you are so frightened by no lynch then just vote where most votes already are (deadbolt right now, you would bring him to L-2 so only two more votes and the day would end) or agitate for your own preferred lynchtarget. tell us again why you think zfr is scum, or someone else you want lynched.

(But please: don't try and explain how the game works to someone like vitek. he probably played it before you were even born :P (this may be a crass exaggeration for dramatic effect) sorry)

nope. see op it's 9T vs 3M ... so to stop a lynch you need all of mafia + 3 town voting elswhere(6vs6). but if that were the case and always the case. You could argue that D2 you simply look at everyone not being on the lead wagon on D1 and you have a 50% chance to get a mafia. so chances are good that not all mafia will stay off a lynch.

indeed. while waiting for the sub question to be cleared. (and shouldn't deadbolt want to sub out and just try and do a krypsyn on us (I seem to remember a game were kryps at least tried not to talk but only vote) then I'm happy to vote for him(deadbolt), too. new player or not.)

but while waiting:

Hey! I am a thing! Don't you dare ignore me. you know.. I have like feelings. thingies at least.

me, me I want to go for Sage with you! she should be prodded by now (last post reads 3 days ago) and she's not new and even if work blocked gog, she could at least bumble about a bit like yogs.:P (I for one can't access gog from work either .. which btw, means I probably can't be here for the deadline either :( )
Even if mafia, she should be able to post something. Yogs does it.

prod sage

apart from her, I'm also fine with going after yogsloth (for fishy play), deadbolt (for no play), lift and zfr (for playing with each other) and most anyone else (for avoiding no lynch)

---On refresh: Do you know the feeling when you make a big ass post and then refresh and then parts of your answer are already old-news but you don't want to delete them, because it was work to type them up and you don't want that work to go to waste and rather have people read redundant info? .... well, not me. never had that.

---On second refresh:
I don't know what you're getting at, but please do remember he's the one who asked whether the voting-records could be publicly seen. I think you are over interpreting things here.

/Peeks from behind a bush

What does him asking about voting records have to do with lynching someone? He claims that if one town player does not vote then mafia can block the lynch, I want to know how he knows that. I don't see a way for that to be possible, and if it is then I don't see scum losing this game.

lol, right after the prod!

ok then what do you think about stuff? Wanna ask about when the deadline is or something?

You are mistaken. I did not receive any prod prior to be getting on or actually yet. I got on because I got home from work and Im not throwing my guts up anymore.. Yay!

Nope. <Insert dirty mind comment here>

Or get town into a bickering match over first day etiquette as preserved by each player. Or maybe you are very very new. We will see.

Double negative this is?

This is the most town thing I have ever heard from Vitek.

I meant, I think he's not grasped the full concept of the game, yet.

"Ultimately if we have 1 town posted who doesn't vote towards our concensus, then Mafia can block our lynch."

I read as: if only one town doesn't vote exactly as the rest of town then we can't lynch. Which is false.
But if he doesn't understand the voting records are public (which I find incredible, since he can read each vote here in thread) then it's more likely that he also doesn't understand the numbers at play here, than that he knows of a secret power of mafia to stop the lynch.
(ok even if he were a mafia govenor or something, what would he care about the "1 town posted who..."? - I think simpler is better in this case. I assume he's just not getting it yet, but hopefully will, in the course of the game)

oops, sorry you were sick. that explains why you weren't taking part. Glad you are feeling better, now! :D Yay!

no? suggestive question this is. I think.

Thanks McHack. I was one sick Sage. I didnt get out of bed for 2 days. And I am almost caught up but still have some and will be completely caught up by tonights end.

Ah how I've missed you, Yog.

Did you post this for a specific reason?

When they deserve it we should.

Telling someone how they should vote is not town in my book.

Unvote flub

Vote: Battle attack supplemenyscene

Well, THAT'S certainly an interesting statement.

this is me trying to be funny. (yes I know, sorry)
chuck tingle does make for a tingly image search and the horn drill fits itself nicely into it.(hehehe) ( excibit a ). I kind of made it into a bit of a theme there... *shrug*

In post 176 Lift states he doesn't know who the third Mafia member is, which made me think there were 3 Mafia and 7 Town and Town would need all 7 Town to agree to get the lynch.

I also assumed the ratio would be similar to Secret Hitler the ratio was 6 town, 1 hitler and 3 fascists and we needed 6 votes to get a pass. We were told this in SH but looking through the notes I see we haven't been told how many Mafia members there are.

you need to read more careful. others have told you it's 9 town vs 3 mafia and so have I (even quoting the relevant part of the OP where the mod told us that this is the case.) Also you know it's 12 players when you count through the list of players in the first post. so if you assumed 3 mafia by lifts post you should be counting the 9 players left. how do you get to 7 town then?
don't know about the secret hitler stuff never played that. But about this game:

Is zfr the only one you'd be willing to lynch? why? if not, who else? why? make a case about who you want lynched and why and vote accordingly.
And then if you see that this lynch is not going to happen, vote the person that you think might be scum _and_ that also has a reasonable chance of being lynched. (looking at who else said they'd be willing to vote that person) and let's hope that enough people reach a consensus before deadline.

(ideally way before deadline, if only we knew by now whether deadbolt wishes to sup out or really wishes to quit by getting lynched, it would make voting much easier right now.)
