In three of the four minis so far I have been night killed first night twice and in the third game on the second and third night (was blocked the second night). So I guess it wouldn't be a mafia game if someone didn't try to kill me. Too bad I was out of town.
Anyhows, no night kill is likely due to the fact that I am a commuter. Not a powerful role by any stretch of the imagination, but it can be useful. At this point, I am somewhat interested in the role names for Shady and Norinel, but I think we can probably end this today (or set up a plan today that will basically end this game). To be completely honest, I personally think that three of the players are nearly definitely good, with only two people with question marks attached to them.
Yanqush- politician+2 mafia, with 6 people left=mafia win, which did not occur, so either quite poor play or is what he claims.
Norinel-good, reasoning being yesterday when the votes were falling, he could have voted for Yanqush, which with Electra and Stewie's votes would have reached before 3 for Stewie, so Yanqush would have been lynched. There is the possibility of a request to Electra to vote for someone else (which may have lead to a mod kill), but that may not have worked, so it would have been risky request at best.
Myself-similar reasoning as Norinel. Plus the only ways someone does not die last night is either if I am the last mafia and withheld a kill, (would be foolish imo, as once the fool votes I could end it with only 4 people, my vote making two and then I wait for deadline), someone else blocked it (highly unlikely imo), or I am telling the truth.
Not going to vote yet, but I think the safest bet is to lynch Electra today, someone (probably myself) dies tonight, and then Yanqush and Norinel finish the game tomorrow by lynching Shady.
Oh and the only way I see it possible to have 4 out of 12 people being mafia is if there is a restriction on voting, ala fool, otherwise a poor day-one lynch and the game could conceivably be over. 9 left, 4 mafia, fool votes for pro-town, mafia bandwagon kills them, game over.
