Rodzaju: I hadn't thought of this as claiming anything, more just putting faces (?shapes) to the voices.
No, it's claiming anyway. Maybe soft-claiming but claiming nevertheless. And we doesn't need this right now at all. Unvote, vote Rodzaju.

OK, I make a newbie error & now I'm a bad guy?
I hadn't expected appliance type to give any useful information.
I had hoped to create a profile list, similar to the one I did based on geographical location, and about as useful....

Hmm, maybe the mafia are non-electrical household items? Or... something? It seems a bit weird that we'd all be electrical and then Rodzaju is a bin. Maybe he

1) Is mafia and made a bad attempt at inventing a fake role,

2) Is mafia and is a bin (non electrical) and it didn't occur to him that he'd be outing himself,

3) Is innocent and made some kind of weird mistake that I've yet to think of an explanation for or

4) Is an electric bin (WTF!?).

Seems a bit hard to say for sure, as we have no knowledge of what others are, except that I can conclude that both you and Vitek (and others) have something with electrical.. and yes - it does say that we are all still plugged in.. Hmm

Well for now I won't draw any conclusions based on power consumption or not.

1) The other games I've watched made it clear that early and unforced claiming is a bad idea.

2) I made no correlation between types of appliances. I don't know what the rest of you are. Are you all electrical? NOT ASKING FOR MORE CLAIMS!!

3) My weird mistake was trying to drum up conversation. The thinking was "a name is a name, nothing more"; an innocent topic more inclusive than half baked math.

4) No plug on me (that I've ever noticed), just a pedal & a lid...

3) If you looked at GoG Mafia 3, all of the townies were Jacks, and the Mafia was using a different name (or a variation that quite frankly was not Jack)

4) That's what we're all looking at, I've NEVER heard a Trash Bin called an appliance.

Game 3, it looks like only 1 mafia was found, so would that have held true for all of them?
Game 2 had a subset of players (described as school....) NOT all of these were mafia.

The whole pluuged/unplugged or appliance/object thing: I hadn't given this any thought until I put my foot in it. I'm gona blame Damnation. Perhaps he couldn't think of 12 electrical appliances that belong in a kitchen? I'm also gonna refer back to my Conspiracy Theory.

Truth be told if we were forced to name-claim day 1 we would maybe lost the game. At least because my first fake claim I prepared would be counter-claimed.

I don't think no. 2 is the case. As well as Damnation was killed by unplugging, flavour text in post 3 says "Go unplug some scummy whiteware."
I see 3 options there.
1. He indeed is non-electrical trash bin. But then he is not appliance, right? Quite weird when this is supposed to be company of appliances.
2. He is scum and tried to make up some claim to distant himself from above sentence as much as possible. His real name could be something obivous as scum and he wanted to appear as some unharmful can
3. Something else perhaps? 3rd party?

This is not kitchen appliance meeting, this is household appliance meeting. First of all, first killed is vacuum cleaner, not exactly kitchen appliance.

I doesn't believe you more and more. It's late though and I can'T tihink straight right now so I have to make a clear opinion tomorrow.

For game 3 there were two Mod posts after the game concluded showing the role PMs, which showed this. Game 2 I have to reread but I have a suspicion there too.

As for everything else, honestly, I think there's enough appliances if you look closely enough. And while it seems like a mistake, I really can't ignore this any longer.

Vote Rodzaju

I believe the references to "Plugged in" (alive) & "Unplug" (kill) in the intro text to be flavourful descriptives, rather than to be taken literally.

At the risk of sounding like a kid crying for mummy, Can Damnation clarify this?

Agreed, at first I didn't push for a soft claim fearing something set for retribution if we did.

At this point, I'm forced to say, either Mafia or some 3rd party. I can't imagine this being some random coincidence. I would like to see what everyone else thinks though about this.

(I don't think this posted already, but it may, I don't see it though)

Looking back over the day's events:
Vitek votes Nmillar, apparently on a whim.
Popinjay 2nds it.
I make my blunder.
Vitek jumps on this & votes me.
Twilight 2nds it.

It has been said that early bandwagonning is suspicious.
Perhaps we should be looking at who starts the wagons...
Unvote Popinjay BUT I'M STILL WATCHING YOU.
Vote Vitek

Maybe we've already uncovered our errant 3....

Take it for making the game more flavourful if you wish - as has been done in Zchinque's Jack-Of-All-Trades game.

And while I'm here, have a votecount, on the house.

The "We hate non-electrical objects" votecount"
Votecount:
nmillar – 1 – Popinjay
GhostQlyph – 1 – Eyeball226
elbaz - 1 - andy433uk
Rodzaju - 2 - Vitek, TwilightBard
Vitek - 1 - Rodzaju

A total of 6 votes.

Rodzaju is closest to lynch at L-5.
Not voting is Red_Baron, elbaz, pazzer, GhostQlyph, enterprise2004, nmillar
With 12 alive it takes 7 to lynch.

Thank you Damnation /sarcasm/
That's about as damning as I can come up with, short of actually saying it should be taken literally.

Having said that, If I had expected such a response, or an outright "Literal", asking the question would have been suicide.

What would I have had to gain?

I wasn't entirely convinced he would clear me, but the worst I had anticipated was a non-commital response.

Your trying to stir the appliances into a panicked frenzy. Obviously trying to hide something.

Unvote nmillar vote Rodzaju
