LBPC Mafia! The Game is Over, see Page 103 for Results!

Wait, why are you guys trying to kill off Protoraptor? He isn't a mobster for sure, because last night ended early. That means every mafia member voted before the deadline. And since Proto has been completely inactive, he can't be one of them.

Of course, there is the chance he is mafia and hasn't participated in the thread, hoping to slip under the radar. But it seems unlikely since:
a- we killed an unactive member in the very first round. That would convince any mobster not to use this tactic;
b- it sounds like it'd take the fun out of the game.

We shouldn't throw people under the bus for not participating. We lose if our numbers become lesser than the mafia's. Our chances of winning this war dwindle with every civilian we lose, so every single one counts. Also, keep in mind that Protoraptor might start participating in the future.

Another point I'd like to make: don't jump on bandwagons "just 'cause". If such a bandwagon is targeting someone innocent, it's the perfect opportunity for the mafia to make sure that person gets killed without raising suspicion.

Think about it: someone gets one or two votes. The mafiosos know that person is innocent, so they all vote on him too, without even expressing a good reason for doing so. Before we know it, the herd mentality sets in and a bandwagon is formed. Most people start voting on that person. And if the poor guy ends up being killed, who gets the blame and the suspicion that comes with it? Not a mafioso, that's for sure.

Explain your suspicions when voting for someone, and distrust those who don't do the same.

Good point, Snipy. I take away my vote from Proto.

Very good points, Snipy. We're down to fifteen players with as many as four mafiosos left I imagine, (hopefully just three though) so taking someone out just 'cause he/she's inactive just doesn't make much sense. Anywho, can we just assume that you, me, jarr, gdn, craig, Proto, and flame are innocent for the time being?

Mate, you're a genious. So, my vote goes on craigmond. Why, you kind folks ask? Craigmond used to be much more active than he is now. Even then, I found him suspicious. He had an odd persistence on booting RockSauron despite having almost no evidence. He was sarcastic and rude when people voted on him. And now, he has slunk into the shadows, rarely posting (in fact, the last time he posted was to flame me because he thought I had voted on him, and this timing is suspicious in of itself). We've all almost forgotten about him - which is exactly what he wants. So that's my 2 cents, folks.

I do remember him doing this. I vote on him too.

[flamingemu]

New vote, Craigmond because he should have been killed ages ago

[jarreguin001]

I remove my vote. If I vote for craig, I will just look like a bandwagon follower, so.. lol.

[Ryan86me]

Rock hasn't posted P.E.A.N.U.T.S for a while, so...

Argh, I leave for a couple of days and 3 people hound on me?! Let's be reasonable now,flamingemu has to go. Not just because I have a picture of him pinned up in my room with "Watch out for this one" written on it, but also because he seems to have a picture of me, up in his room which may or may not say something similar. It's either that or he is particularly fond of my charms

NEVERTHELESS, he has to go!

Anyone turns on Craig and he immediately tries to get them killed, also why were you away for 3 days? Saw that you weren't being hounded and decided to take a break? Craig is mafia because he only joins in to save his own skin, knowing that his main method of killing is via the night.

[amoney1999]

I find it kind of funny how one of mateos' reasons he thought I was mafia was because of bandwagon, but then everybody bandwagon's on me. He only had 2 reasons to try and vote me off: me saying I was innocent, and bandwagon. I'm not the only person to do this (though I do it a lot), but come on? really? One person does it, and everyone's like "oh, he's fine". I do it, and everyone's all like "OMG AMONEY IS MAFIA!!!". Do you really believe what mateos' is telling you? He's trying to get rid of me for 2 tiny reasons. So now I vote for mateos, because his reasons for me being "guilty" are just nitpicking and he is using cliches!

[xxMATEOSxx•]

Just because something is a cliche doesn't mean it can't be true.

[amoney1999]

Well, no duh, but it's used all the time and there should be more evidence other than saying "He said he's innocent, so he's guilty!" kind of thing. No one will probably listen to me, but whatever.
