    In this game when it gets started, I was planning to ask that all participants when posting their vote for mafia, give a good reason for their vote choice.

    I am trying to explore if we can go beyond the simple docpile and for that matter the simple counterpile vote pattern that we have developed of late.

    Now it might well be possible to construct a matrix that means that say 3 simple docpiles ( which would include phrases like I agree with Raz ) would mean an automatic vote against that person next time. So that participants, when voting would have to take that into consideration.

    It's only an idea what do you think?
    love the idea. the current docpile mentality has made posting first vote a very dangerous move.

      yes herc i think you will ahve to allow people to vote in agreeance with others.

      i think thsi will allow the clue seekers to post first with their thoughts without being docpiled in retaliation.

      if i post

      "aha i found a clue! it is Nikolai because the clue shows it is a christian who loves camp girls!"

      Then all others shouldnt have to post other clues unless there is more to be found.

          The only problem with a methodology like that is sometimes you're voting for survival which has nothing to do with clues. Lets say the vote is tied and you're one of the the suspects. I don't care what the clues say, you're going to vote for the other guy. Or even if it's not tied, sometimes your only chance is trying to start a counterpile.

          And as others have implied, there aren't a lot of clues in the first post (or our games wouldn't last long)

          And finally, while I usually look for clues, there are times where Real life get in the way and occasionally I just pick someone. If people are penalized for being busy that day, I would find myself reluctant to join future games.

          And the most obvious, if you're the mafia, you're trying to win, there would have to be more red herrings for you to chose from, and that would make it harder for others to find the real clues.

          In theory, I like the concept but fair execution would be difficult.

                Amazing coincidence or what?


                Just noticed this news item.

                KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Nov. 4) - A comet that has unexpectedly brightened in the past couple of weeks and now is visible to the naked eye is attracting professional and amateur interest.

                Paul Lewis, director of astronomy outreach at the University of Tennessee, is drawing students to the roof of Nielsen Physics Building for special viewings of Comet 17P/Holmes. My emphasis.
