Of course it's nice if he was, but I don't seriously expect to find a mafian til Day 3 or 4 at the earliest. However, with me voting aggressively so far we've had two productive days with several votes from people. As I said previously, I don't mind if people vote for me, just by voting they are helping to figure out things for the rest of the town. So if we want to go with a rng kill, that's fine with me, but I think rather than trying for a rng kill every time, it's slightly more productive to find people via split vote with a slight majority on one side or the other.
[color="#cc8899"]However, this also runs into WIFOM territory - constantly provoking large arguments lets the mafia hide in the crowd and leads to large 50/50 style arguments. Those are rarely useful until it's too late to learn anything from them.
Keep in mind who you're playing with - Southperry mafia is full of bandwagon voting in its history. What you're doing isn't revealing anything - people like you and I almost always vote while people like Synthesist almost never do. Regardless of the situation, that usually doesn't change. In essence you end up forcing people to vote for one of the majority cases if they can't dissuade people. Turning around and using that as evidence is absurd.[/COLOR]
