You sound like a sucker.

I change my vote to Roy.

Perhaps. I just like trusting the people that seem to consistently present intelligent clue and behavioral analysis.

This.

And are the bodyguards public?

No, the Mayor chooses them secretly, and they do not know each other.

Well, if we look into this.

Roy was willing to endorse Wing Zero. This gives us a nice logic table. T = Town, M = Mafia

✓ Roy M | Wing Zero M
✓ Roy T | Wing Zero M
✗ Roy M | Wing Zero T
✓ Roy T | Wing Zero T

Since Roy had no knowledge of what people would do, especially with so many smart players on the board, it is a safe assumption that Roy would not have endorsed a townie if he had been mafia.

Thus, it's 66⅔ % likely that Roy is a townie, and 66⅔ % likely that Wing Zero is mafia. Out of 24 players we can create a range of 5-6 of them being mafia. A player has a probability of 0.21 - 0.25 that he is mafia. We can then calculate Roy's statistical chance that he is mafia.

(2 × 5)/(3 × 24) - (2 × 6)/(3 × 24)
10/72 - 12/72
0.14 - 0.17

Which is definitely lower than anyone else, making him the mathematically safest bet.

I say we kill tikels.

I shall change my vote from DevliN to Roy for mayor.

You forget that I'm a seasoned player who would probably make these kinds of risks to acquire a better long-term status with the town. A townie as mayor isn't the end of the mafia (see last game), and I value public support over raw power. Don't get too comfortable with someone this early (I've made that mistake before and costed the town the game because of it).

But I do love truth tables!

Dem0nS1ayer, Mouse, Raccoon and Kame are Mafia. Calling it now.

Good to get that in while you're still allowed to post in here.

Save me, Roy.

Chopping block initiate!

I'll change my vote to Roy...

seems like the sensible thing to do.

You're past the deadline, just saying.

I'm the Rogue Engineer. Good work, town.

I've run through everything and ended up with 6 potential candidates to start this game's lynching with. Let's hope I didn't pick the wrong one.

DAY 1 END

With very little political opposition nearing the end of his campaign, Roy makes his way up to former Mayor lil-Inferno's podium to swear himself in. Afterwards, he rallies the town with a charismatic call to arms against the Mafia. Nearing the end of the speech, a guillotine is erected upon the stage, and Mayor Roy concludes his oration with the announcement that someone in the crowd will have to die. An eerie silence sweeps across the crowd, with a few hushed remarks being made. No one is remotely certain who he will choose, or how wise his decision will be for the future of the town.

Finally, Roy lifts his index finger, and points at LoTu)S. Two men grab LoTu)S by the shoulders, and lift him up to the stage. His head is slammed on the chopping block by one of the men. The crowd is in shock. LoTu)S pleads his innocence, but it's too late. The blade soars down but doesn't make a clean cut, and gore spurts everywhere from LoTu)S' now visible throat. Eventually his body gives way, and LoTu)S is dead.

NIGHT 1 START

Those with night actions, PM them to me. Night 1 will end on September 14 at 6:00 PM EST.

Fuck.

Edit: excerpt for rational:

I assure you I was weighing options. Sorry.

Well by random chance it's more likely you'd pick a townie than a mafia. I guess you went with the "didn't say much so must be trying to keep a low profile" theory?

Damn son.
