Okay read through the thread. Here are my final opinions.
Holypie, I don't understand what the hell your rationale was in post #121 for lynching KajitiSouls. Lynching him based off his silence status seems a bit irrational as we don't know whether or not this silence could have been induced by mafia. If it is a mafia based measure, then it may wear off in subsequent turns. If it is a character trait, then he will still have it in later turns. I think that KajitiSouls should be left alone for now.
The Joker roleclaim was stupid. Still I was hoping that if someone had a character who rhymed, that they would perhaps post.
#140 ChaoticCJ: Making conjectures about the game shouldn't be seen as a bad thing. Learning what does not work, could also be helpful as you have eliminated alternative choices off the board. I don't feel as if anyone has made an assumption as we have kept a lot of ideas on the table. On another note, I find your logic interesting in the last paragraph, "As most of you know, death is the only way we know if a player is telling the truth... With that I am saying I probably won't vote unless I see a good reason to." By picking who gets lynched, you are able to reveal who was telling the truth. In mafia this could lead to clearing your suspicions of certain characters and bringing some of the theories you've been thinking about to light. To not vote is to allow your suspicions to go unanswered and to simply follow the majority. You are probably specifically referring to pre-game / early-game dynamics. But if you are going to be suspicious, I feel that it is better to formulate opinions sooner than latter. When things get long and tedious, people tend to lose interest in the topic at hand. Not GAIN interest.
