is sorian the cop?
I mean how definitively he says people are town is normal Sorian, it does seem a bit matter of fact more than usual.

Fat might have been a sensible yesterday, but it isn't today, especially if there's any hint of it being "for info". I'd probably vote Swamped (Vere) today, maybe take a closer look at penguin or Ouro. is sorian the cop? I mean how definitively he says people are town is normal Sorian, it does seem a bit matter of fact more than usual. Yeah I was wondering the same. He's been doing it to too many people though, unless I miscounted.

Ouro's gotten be scum. Checked out just because of a vote block? Pfft.
And Salva's right that nothing is happening because no one's voting. Problem is no one makes a real vote until the last hour or so, pressure votes don't hold any pressure any more. Our meta's kind of fucked at the moment.

I mean, 9 players of 16 have less than 10 posts right now. Some are close, sure, but 6 players have 5 or less posts this whole day phase. I dunno, maybe people are just burned out on mafia.

Because nothing matters before the final day. My last phase of the game I intentionally didn't vote fat before the last few hours, because if I did it'd make him less likely to be lynched.

Would a couple of small, shorter-phase games help, maybe? Something to shake the meta up?

Salva is being honest about his (and by extension LoC's target choices)...

Well so much for my "everyone is waiting for day end" theory.
Weekend effect, I guess.

weekend phases are traditionally 'dead' :<
as far as post-per-player analysis, my SO has been doing some prep work in anticipation of our 2017 infographics, and our posts-per-player performance has been stable since season 4 ish. It's just that we weren't doing the post counts reqs back then, so maybe we weren't as aware of it. but activity has always been an issue with some phases in most mafia games. this particular day phase probably isn't indicative of community burnt-out-ness, but certainly, it's something that i've been also thinking about.
maybe gafia is due a proper break, and the upcoming xmas/new year might be a good time for a proper holiday for everyone :>

We should do a game where day phases do not happen on weekends.
Just dynamic scheduling so they only occur on Monday-Friday (Thursday at a push).
See what the demand is and see what happens if the game runs.

I wonder if we lined up activity in role heavy vs role light games too what we might find. i mean, there are other factors that interfere (who signs up, etc.) but just out of curiosity.
or if some of us who are heavy posters (those of us who are consistently putting up huge post count numbers) are drowning out others (harder to determine this, though).

Nah. Games have ended with most quiet players left. It doesnt change much.

Haven't read this thread yet, but...
Ok, so Sorian has to be the neutral voteblocker, right? I'm not crazy? There's no fucking way he's A) a weak cop that has consistently hit three people THAT ARE STILL ALIVE by the time he claimed and B) Two of the targets are the same targets as the voteblocker (Fat and myself). He has to be the voteblocker and bullshitted Giant Panda's read (and the others).
If not the voteblocker, at the very least he has to be some kind of neutral, because he's bullshitting the fuck out of that thread.
So then Panda, Fat, and...Penguin I guess are scum, and then the last one (5 seems a little high with a voteblocker) is...Wizard or Worm?

Town still has some plays available to it, as long as the PRs do their jobs.
Town still has 6 PRs alive. Though Sorian sort of neutered one with his choice of green check for today. Not entirely though. The Wizard actually has the most ability to turn the game at this point, though naturally he has no idea of that.
Also Ouro, it took everything I had to keep my role randomization and not swap you and CCS so that you and Bronx were Masons.

Those are some bad posts by Kawl. Calling Salva lazy without even saying if/why he disagrees, offered nothing himself.
Town accepting Sorian's "clears" so easily will be their undoing.

I was confused by that. What sort of evidence is he looking for? Circumstantial evidence is often all the evidence you get in mafia.
"Disagrees with me, SCUM!" Is not helpful to anyone.

This is why after you've had straight mislynches for X days, everyone needs to get the fuck out of their tunnels and think "hey, maybe I'm wrong."
