There was an unusual amount of activity during power hour on day 1. I have to believe there was at least one mafia near the top of the vote count.

Farnsy only had TWO VOTES until CyArob cast his vote two minutes prior to the day's deadline. 2015 and bsalty, the other two people who were tied for the lead in votes at the time, cast their votes for Farnsy instead of each other one minute before the bell. Very strange. Vote counts were posted just prior to all these votes, so they weren't firing in the dark, either...

I can’t speak for 2015, but my vote on Farnsy day 1 was out of self preservation. I saw CyArob vote for him and then quickly changed my vote. I didn’t know about 2015’s vote when I made mine, but I knew it would at least put Farnsy in a three way tie for the lead, when in actuality it gave him the lead. I am an innocent if anyone cares.

Why wouldn't you have voted for 2015 if it was truly for self preservation? Your vote would have pushed him to 5 votes. And you just admitted you thought you were giving Farnsy his 4th vote.

Well a three way tie randomizer is still less of a chance at getting voted out than a two way tie, and it’s more fun. And because I’m a regular inno I am willing to gamble.

Much easy for mafia to choose in a close vote. Randomizer might pick a mafia better than we can atm.

Rescind discy, vote bsalty

my thinking with disc caught no traction with anyone so I’m going to the person that was saved in the shenanigans last night. Still suspicious of discy though.

Why did you vote for Farnsy last night?

I don't think you give enough credit to folks. Close votes are good, because if mafia does make a choice to save someone and we find that person, then we get two mafia (with some innos dribbled into the voting chaos).

Just mega randomizer, which I realize would never actually happen.

Gambler’s fallacy — rescind Vikes vote 2015
I think that would be true if I didn't know my role. And I also highly doubt the mafia will recruit anyone who does something suspicious early on.

You'd have the same odds of being assigned any given role whether you knew your role or not, right?

The case on Salty was to vote for me day 1 because of hangover from the last game (which is ridiculous), and today it is to see if I was being saved by mafia or because I switched my vote late day 1. I already explained my switching votes, and I am innocent, so I wasn’t “being saved” yesterday. Of course you have no reason to trust me but that’s the truth. This is my third mafia game, and I haven’t lied once. I accuse the wrong people at times, but I haven’t been lying to you guys.

Im sure mafia will only recruit players who they’re lawyers have vetted as regular innos. No way they gamble this early in the game.

ok salty, let's talk.

of the below people who received multiple votes yesterday, which do you think are mafia?

4 - 2015 - cokane, 11:25am; CYme, 4:06pm; meowcows, 7:02pm; farnsy, 8:53pm
4 - bsaltyman - cmjh, 7:00am, rescind, 8:36pm, again 8:59pm; fitzy, 7:44am; 2015, 7:45am, rescind 9:41am; discydisc, 8:56am, rescind 6:21pm; psyclone22, 9:02am; ctown, 10:24am;
3 - michael - CycloneNorth, 8:18am; spiker, 10:26am; andybernard, 11:28am; 2015, 8:58pm, rescind 8:59pm
2 - azuth - dsmcy, 10:23am; scncy, 10:29am
2 - cleaver - colorado, 9:29am; discy, 6:21pm
2 - doc - cyfan13, 9:18am; clonies, 12:18pm; cmjh, 8:36pm, rescind 8:59pm
1 - psyclone22 - bsalty, 7:44am, rescind 8:59pm; kcclone, 9:45am; cyarob, 10:57am, rescind 8:58pm
some notes:

2015 is high up on people's lists again today. Same with you.

Michael, Doc and I each had 3 votes at one point or another yesterday at 8:55 or later.

azhuth and cleaver are probably fine, I just included them here for the sake of listing everyone with multiple votes.
