    All depends on the show and what characters are available for fake claims, how easy it is to pick up random characters that could be easily believed.

    Think back to the game you hosted, a million shows could have been picked and the same amount of believable characters, how does that work? I know this is based on one show but when you're like me and know the square root of * all about the show then knowing what is a fake claim and what isn't is hampered.

    For what it's worth, after googling my character, I'm confident that I will be looked on as Town.

    Think you need to go back to maths class

    We have had plenty of no-lynches on day 1 and still managed to win. The problem with no-lynches is when you get them on day 2, 3 etc.

    Tends to be, I remember Deebo coasting through the game on the exact same theory and he was Mafia, twice he shot Townies if I remember correctly.

    In a plain game with no discards there is less to go on at the start. A vote is preferable even if it means a townie dies, however it is not the end of the world if we don't get a lynch. There will be less power roles involved and more days to try and suss out the villains.

    Going to take a punt on Tim Time. His posts come across as fillers to me.

    Vote Tim Time

    Character claiming in the game I hosted was worth * all because of the amount of shows used. Not only is this game ONE show.. it is possibly one season of one show. That makes it even harder for Mafia to get their claim right.

    Like I said, you or I likely won't be able to make anything of the character claims but there's a few people here who watch the show who will deduce something from it.

    50/50? lol

    If you are indeed town it was an absolutely terrible move to use that shot on day one when nobody has an incling about anyone. You could've waited until there was doubt hanging over someone's head and used your shot to remove that doubt - providing town with some info at least.

    I'm not sure he'd come out the gate with a vote on me first post if he was Mafia but I'll go with you. Unthinkable to not lynch. Sorry about the treble post :)

    Unvote

    Vote Tim

    Was unaware people had coasted a game before more than once as a Mafia dayvig so I'll go Cena if momentum goes that way

    In fact, if we are going on anything suspicious it should be Cena's vig shot, to me, that is suspect as *, he didn't need to use it right away like that.

    Vote Cena

    My vote is staying there.

    Tbf there will always be a doubt around Cena and the rationale is stronger than that of @CheGuevara

    @Cena have you given your character?

    Aye, but Keano is synonymous with Mafi.

    What? I didn't vote tim til after Che did.. and it was Tim who voted me after 2 posts :56:that's twice now I've had a finger pointed at me for case of mistaken identity haha

    To be fair I agree that it's probably best to get rid of Cena today. Bit like Taz last game. That doubt will always be there no reason to leave it lingering til late in the game.

    Unvote Tim
    Vote Cena

    And save the "ooh look at slaw flip flopping on his votes he's probably Mafia".. I've always flip flopped on votes :giggle1:
