If we nolynch today and tomorrow we will have the same situation in two days time as we would if we lynched today, but with more time to think and discuss.

Moreover, the higher mafia to townie ratio also increases the influence the mafia have over our votes, so we are not necessarily more likely to lynch one of them. Now, the mafia have to convince two people to side with them, whereas tomorrow (in this scenario) they will only have to convince one.

In fact, I quite like the situation we have now, as we have four people telling the truth and only one person lying. I think we might be more likely to come to the truth now with more decent, law-abiding townsfolk on our side.

Hmm, you make some fair points. My wrist it pretty much better now so I'm up for some 'heated debate' now. Or at least as much as we can manage...

While Dominic does make good points, there is only one question - what's the point in further discussion? We all seem dry on topics that need discussing and we are nowhere near a useful conclusion.

So it looks like it'll come down to a nolynch then. At this point it's not too bad. On the one hand, a lynch today could potentially end the game early in the town's favour, but if it goes another day then it could just come down to a coin toss, but still, it gives us 2 chances to win. On the other hand, a nolynch would give us a little more time and possibly more information. A lynch (right or wrong) will still end the game tomorrow, despite it being 3v1, so that means we only have one shot at winnning.

Personally I would prefer a lynch today and a lynch tommorow, giving us two chances to find the last mafia member, rather than a nolynch today which gives us only one lynch and more time to discuss how little we have left to discuss. Unfortunately no one seems to agree with me.

That's not entirely true. I think lynching someone is the wisest thing for us to do, if anything we will seed out our theories, and the last mafia will not be able to sit down and think we're going soft.

You know what, that's actually quite a good point. And I agree with Damnation that it'll let us test out our theories.

But as I said before, rather than playing percentages I think we should try to lynch whoever we think is the most likely today.

I do agree with a lynch too. Like I said before, it's basically trading a shot at winning for potential information (although I'm not sure how much information we can get from a random dead townie other than ruling him out as a suspect...).

Still, the toughest part of this is deciding on who to lynch. I don't want to point fingers (I honestly don't know who to point to anyway), so somebody else can get it started.

As I have said, my two main suspects are GoJays and eyeball, why should have been explained :p

I think that goes for everyone, except for GoJays and me where the suspects are just each other. :P

Ok guys, I've got to go again (same reason as last time, taking care of grandparents). I'll be back on friday, but I'm aware that the deadline is tomorrow... so unless Zchinque extends the deadline I guess I'll see you 'tomorrow morning' (game tomorrow, not actual tomorrow).

Deadline won't be moved.
13 hours until deadline.

There are no votes.

So, I suspect our main dicition to take is eyeball or GoJays. Any ideas?

Well I guess Ill vote Eyeball for the reasons we've already stated. The deadlines in five hours so everyone should make some decisions, I may or may not be around to change my vote if it swings a different way.

When's the deadline, 7? Shit, don't have much time.

I've been really busy these last few days so haven't been able to give it much more thought. But I am still leaning towards eyeball and GoJays.

Btw, Naz., why have you decided to go for eyeball when before you had voted gojays? As I said I'm suspicious of them both. However, as eyeball is away and so cannot defend himself, and as the good thing about running near a deadline is that guilty people start to get desparate, I think its wisest, from a tactical point of view, to vote GoJays instead. Not because I think he is more likely but just because he is here to defend himself and so, if he is guilty, may slip up.

On the other hand, its kinda unfair to jump on GoJays just because eyeball isn't here, as the latter could be guilty and should not escape our suspicions just because he is not here. In fact, not being here for the lynch (tho I am sure his reasons are legit.) is quite a good tactic for the mafia, however counter-intuitive that sounds, if past lynchings have been anything to go by.
