huh, in my experience i've found the opposite, that newbies are often hesitant to lynch the ic
I've seen both. There's a) the hesitance of lynching the most experienced player and also b) paranoia towards the most experienced player being too helpful (guided slightly by their responsibilities as an IC).

And YyottaCat, don't worry about the pace being slow so far, that's usually how it is during this early stage of the game. It would be great if everyone without an avatar tried to get one so we can associate their posts with an image in the future.
People shouldn’t be afraid to lynch the IC if they truly think he’s scum. The SEs can answer questions about theory and that’s really the only job of an IC.

Nousername757: If they are randomly picking with a reason thats is an excuse, they are probably mafia while mew is town.
If they do actually vote becaus they hate Mew (the pokémon), then the post is useless.
Nousername757 is more likely to be mafia than mew.
I've done something similar when voting nousername — do you think it makes me scummy? Why do you believe this kind of excuse is scummy at this point in the game?

I don't think these two claims are mutually exclusive. I believe IC status is perceived as the player being more skilled as either alignment — which makes them both harder to trust and to lynch on account of being pocketed or lynching a potentially valuable town player.
Personally I don't have an issue with lynching an IC if there's good reason for it, but in case I were lynching between roughly equivalent null players, I'd probably pick the one who has less ability to solve on subsequent days
As a side note, I implore everyone who doesn't have an avatar to get one, it makes it much easier to tell you apart at a glance.
EBWOP: I now realize I've repeated some of Mewtaph's points, missed his post when making mine. Gotta learn to pay more attention when posting on mobile.

Well, it is hard to resist a kill sometimes and start laughing the next day

IDK honestly, but I would
probably
prefer mafia. The only reason is probably the private chats so I can have more thing to do. Also, I have basically 0 mafia experience here, but I'll try my best. Also this might be easier than playing mafia in real life, just because if you are a mafia meember, you won't start laughing for some weird reasons on the next day.
i guess i'm asking because this post seems to me like it's kinda written from scum's pov - you're comparing this game to a game of irl mafia and saying that scum may have it easier here, in forum mafia, if i'm understanding this post right

My thoughts on my signature in 2018-2019:
What in the world even is "Burger king foot lettuce"?
I know what Burger King is but what is foot lettuce?
Is it lettuce made out of feet? Geez, I'm so different than how I used to be.
