You fellows seem to be putting a lot of faith in our ability to organize a lynch at the last minute. Maybe waiting until the end before doing the sad deed makes sense, but we must be organized and voting much sooner if that is the plan. Likewise for any alternatives. Also, I do not put much value in someone coming in at the last minute to take my water but not socialize. Makes it easy for someone to intentionally lurk until the very end and escape punishment. We have 48 hours, plenty of time to participate! Call it my old age, but excuses make me weary.

We don't have to organize it at the last second. After 30 hrs or so we can start putting down votes. We just don't want to hammer until the time is close to up.

I do think that, if there's a solid, quantifiable reason to suspect someone of being the Mafia, we can go for it. But if, by later in the Day, there are no strong suspicions of anyone in particular, to the point that it's basically a shot in the dark, then I'd choose No Lynch there. We'd probably only have like a 20-30% chance of getting a Mafia if we did lynch, vs. a ~70-80% chance of hitting a townie.

But that is assuming that everybody shows up. If we have a missing player, then I'm with Johnny that that's much more of a hindrance for the Town than the Mafia. Sometimes in the past, the Mafia has killed the inactive to go for a "safe" kill and/or mess with us, but counting on them to do so would not be wise, and there's no time like the present, when we're still trying to get a read on those who are here, to weed out players like that. We're not going to want to have to waste a lynch on an inactive player later down the line when we actually do have real suspicions of other people.

However, I think that 47 out of the 48 hours is way too long to wait for them to show up. As Haredas pointed out, thanks to having Day 0 to sign in, they've already had plenty of time to at least let us know that they're around. If they don't show up by 24 hours into Day 1 (which, I believe, is more than 48 hours since the signups were sent out), they should be called out on it.

Laki's idea has good reasoning I will be back sometime tomorrow to see if the two no-shows have a valid excuse or if we should remove them.

Well you should have faith in Laki at least.


I agree with most everything you, Kaimie, and Laki have added. In the case of inactives, 30 hours is probably enough to deem one inactive, but we can save the last 2 votes for the last hour or so, in case of a genuine excuse. Of course, hopefully there are no inactives at all but who can tell.

Ah! I was napping and didn't realise the Day had started. I'm luckier than that fellow under the rubble, eh?
I have no issues with lynching one of the inactive people. If we're lucky, we get a Mafia, or even reveal the existence of a third party. If we're unlucky, we lynch a town that isn't helping us. If we're even more unlucky, we'll lynch the fool and lose instantly.
