London, 2077

[Kara_Mel]

The Old Smoke, our beloved Corporation, has never been particularly renowned for providing top-notch commodities to its employees and citizens. However, the latest events mark brand new, groundbreaking levels of negligence and decay that our cybersecurity is capable to reach. Numerous instances of smart home system hacks have been discovered. Several urbanites' depression levels hit the all-time low mark; this strange new “hip” social-distancing flashmob is gaining popularity. One may ask us who is responsible for this debacle. Alas, we all know the answer, aren't we?

If start to look at this as a description of all abilities that passed (or used?), then:
1.

Numerous instances of smart home system hacks have been discovered

Someone has discovered something, perhaps a coalition formed or xXxhydexXx found Marple;
2.

this strange new “hip” social-distancing flashmob is gaining popularity

Flashmob can be a reference to Orlando, as he is taking the ability from someone.
3.

Several urbanites' depression levels hit the all-time low mark;

Very stretched maybe, but can be a hint on Griffin the Invisible and any of his actions - as he has

Weapon: despair & theanine.

Despair is close to depression and successful night action leads to it's low mark... If combined with

this strange new “hip” social-distancing flashmob is gaining popularity

together maybe it meant a Darjeeling as a double action. But then the 2nd option is incorrect.

[Kara_Mel]

But the main problem for me arises not from the results of the news, but from activity - 8 players wrote nothing/few posts and this makes the selection process for daily lynching one-sided and not efficient. I don't know about the others, maybe you do have some sort of psychic who can precisely guess who is who even with less-than-half active players. I can suspect only someone from the other 7 players, but knowing there are 4 mafias and 2 maniacs (neutrals) makes the situation even more dramatic.

I usually insist on lynching someone during the day, but it's ok when only 1 or 2 are inactive.  Here I see no other option - vote for no hanging, moving to the next day and hoping for more activity or information available.

[Falcon hunting]

Well, what can I say about the newspaper and the night in general. Our dear Julik needed a first aid kit, what does this mean? Was he cured at night or did he have the ability to survive, so he survived? This moment is interesting, but what do you think?
The fact that there are no murders is probably another option - the maniac and the mafia shot at each other, and now they are familiar.

[Uranium235]

if the silent do not come, then hopes for new information are futile.
Lynch is not possible with less than 50% of the vote. I'm not so optimistic as to believe that there is no significant number of peaceful votes

[Uranium235]

that is, I see the situation like this:
if the number of silent people remains at the current level, then it will be possible to win only if many of them are mafia. Consequently, defeat in all other cases can be recognized now. what is the use of understanding that such and such is peaceful, if his voice for the good of the city will not be?
if someone sees the city has better chances with a different strategy, write it.

[Anony-mouse]

Do I understand correctly that the vote will be held in the same topic?

In general, it all depends on whether a certain group of players starts to play. In the end, all this is a kind of experiment.

[pastor chivay]

Here I see no other option - vote for no hanging, moving to the next day and hoping for more activity or information available.

...it remains only to agree. I doubt that other players will appear in the near future (only if GM gives them a kick). with so little activity not much can be solved. I vote for the pass and no lynching

[Kara_Mel]

In the end, all this is a kind of experiment.

An experiment with such effort from the host? I doubt. If it was just an experiment - the GameMaster would not spend much time on the roles etc. It would be just standard mafia with doc and sheriff.

It's just a matter of disrespect from inactive players.

[Game Master]

If it was just an experiment - the GameMaster would not spend much time on the roles etc. It would be just standard mafia with doc and sheriff.

Experiments, yay! Science! Fun!
I'm starting to think that it was my mistake, as the combination of unusual format, the third-party website of unfamiliar type, and the language barrier alone are able to make the game challenging enough. Should've done vanilla before trying something more ambitious.
I'm not losing hope and keep trying to liven the spoons up, though. But, I guess, plan B might come in handy. Should I maybe modkill random spoons every Day that had <50% voters?

Also, should I return the standard 48 hours for this vote? It'd prolong Day 1 up to 4 pm tomorrow.

[Kara_Mel]

With such activity, I see only 1 way - to change the voting system from the current 50%+1 to the ordinary majority. So even if 7 players will vote with 4-3 - player with 4 will be jailed.

[Game Master]

Good idea. What do others think?

[pastor chivay]

I totally agree!

[Game Master]

Okay, Day 1 ends on Tuesday, 4 PM.

A few more players well might honor us with their presence



Day 1 still demands 50%+1 votes to reach a decision.

For Day 2, both the deadline and the voting rules might be changed.

[Putin mod.2]

Guys, what does happening?

No one

[Anony-mouse]

Guys, what does happening?

On the good side, no one died. On the bad side - some players make others worry if something happened on the other side of the screen.

I do not believe that you have nothing to say.
I do not believe that I have such difficult questions that they have no answer, or so useless that I am not worthy to receive it.
The mouse is trying to do something. I'm not sure what he did, but I see at least attempts.
Imagine a player who is silent for a minute, how long will he stay at the table? No need to be equal to those who did not come at all or do not know what to say on the occasion of the first time.

Voice against is considered good motivation, check.

Good idea. What do others think?

I always considered this rule (50+) terrible.

OOh, PLEASE STOP!!! Please. Stop.
I was buzy////////// Why i became the whipping boy??? can you repeat your question. And stop, i just now entered at the forum... and... you want to kill me 

[Uranium235]

But the method works.
And half of the players would say:
Sue was kicked in the mafia conf.

Doesn’t it seem?
I advise for the future - when such requests appear, keep inactive as much as possible in order to disable this argument against yourself.
I’ll find the question now, so be it.

4/ i prefer to not answer at this question

I do not demand to name the reason now (perhaps I will ask later). Just interested, there is something more than "just do not want" or not.

I think the names flicker anyway, soo my tactics of the game 'Keep silent' isn't stupid)

If all the townspeople choose this tactic, how to win? You often won, and you know the way.

[Anony-mouse]

One cannot but agree that the option seems quite possible.

oh, nice step. But i can refute your guesses.
Firstly, i think this technique is used on new faces in the forum. it was deftly. but i think that you can be Sweeney Todd or Orlando who don't matter who will die today.
Secondly, i know you want to hear it. i got a kick by GM. Because he's my teacher at last.

It was a difficult night/ I have nothing to say and i don't understand why i sould be a body on a gallows.



Also i can say that i have two little sisters -> computer is free only in the evening... I thought that enter at the forum once a day is normal... but is't as i see//////////

[Uranium235]

I never received an answer to both questions.
In any case, I refer to the other half, for which such arguments have the value that sand is in the desert.
In fact, you can go once a day. But the day began yesterday. And the meaning of the call is still not to say hello, but to tell something about the events of the night and / or the players.

For me, it’s far more important that you replay indignantly, the voice today doesn’t mean very much, since gaining 50% + is almost impossible.
And I can’t be Todd, because it’s more important for him not to attract attention to live longer without causing a bullet. But the fact why you do not consider me simply a mafia can be revealed in more detail. Since I know that fact is true, I can more objectively assess the nature of the arguments.

let's hang everything who's not active!it's been a hard night. let's leave it at that

Aren't you interested in Sue's answers?
Nobody is still hanging, anyone can give 1 vote and achieve nothing.

yeah was wondering what Sue would say about that. yes, she doesn't show up very often, and her identity raises a lot of questions for me. but I have a lot of questions for everyone else 

[Anony-mouse]

Sue Sharlin

, keep in mind that the mafia, the forum mafia is a game that is not alien to psychological pressure. And when they say that someone will be hanged, this is not necessarily taken seriously. Whatever is done is done with a double or triple purpose. In particular, check your reaction to the statement about your execution, as well as the reaction of other people to the same statement.

And, of course, it would be better if the players looked at the forum more than once a day.

I think I'm playing the role of a good cop right now.

[Uranium235]

Do you have a lot of questions for the rest?
So do not keep them to yourself. You do not think that the rest will answer until you ask?
From the whole variety of questions, I suggest choosing 3 and asking them now to three different players. I think that if you have a lot of them, then 3 you can definitely in the near future.

[Kara_Mel]

Ha-ha, bravo! It definitely worked very nice. At least she came out. As I asked GM - votes can be changed. May be it's possible to lure others out with such way?

[Sue Sharlin]

please/// you need to understand that I didn't want any misunderstandings. I am ready to answer for all your questions that you have accumulated to my humble personality.

 I catch myself thinking that such rare appearance of Sue is confusing and i would be interesed in her answers too

Also i can say that i have two little sisters -> computer is free only in the evening... I thought that enter at the forum once a day is normal... but is't as i see//////////

if this the real reason why she was not appear for a long time, well, now we can see the true answers

i'd like to note that Sue is not the only one who appeared once - maybe twice and said nothing important
so maybe it'll work

[Uranium235]

please ask them again.

look quotes up. I ask again.
