As of noon, it is officially the sheriffs turn! Sheriff ExKirby- you have until midnight to make your turn. Good Hunting!

So when does the cop find out the results of his "investigation". Does he get a private message at the end of the day/end of the night, what?

Anyways, game specific stuff:
Jim, you bring up a good point - I do admit I was looking askance at RNG earlier. No obvious tells, but Diakron claimed he was the most experienced, and while I'm not exactly taking anything Diakron says at face value, I don't see any reason why he would lie about something like that. In addition, he seemed close to Diakron for a while, and may just be trying to distance himself now. So at the very least, I'm wary about him.

But still, he did vote for dirtybird, which doesn't exactly follow your whole "never the first vote" pattern. But then, he also didn't really press DB that much before unvoting, (nor did he press evilmonk much) so he's definitely been lax on scumhunting as a follow up to calling out lurkers, at least.

ERmergency, g2g,more then

Vote count / lynch time restatement please.

Okay, everyone stats are set.

Keep an eye on the original post to keep up on everyone's stats and information, as well as your seating pattern!

Ah, Diakron, for that one about mafia comment, I'll give that to you. I read it as mafia/scum rather than mafia/the game.

And I didn't accuse you of being "scum with two scumbuddies." I accused you of seeming to be close with two other other players, of their being tells that if someone were your scumbuddy, one of them seems likely.

I stand by my assertation that you can't hunt scum reliably amongst those that aren't talking. If you don't have real suspicions against anybody who's done plenty of talking, "chatting" strategically with those who have yet to speak seems like a perfectly sensible action to take.

One final question - if you've played so many games (over a dozen, six simultaneous) why are you playing beginners mafia? You claim its to get better, but if you've played that many games, what would a bunch of beginners have to teach you?

To the IC:
I think its time the votes start coming out and converging - I don't want a lynch with 2 or 3 votes since it would be easy easy for the scum to manipulate when things are that close. Is this spread a vote, even past an extension, normal for a day 1? I honestly don't know if I should be pushing for a lynch at this point, or what.

theevilmonk, when you are ready, you may choose one from the following three characters:

-Black Jack (4O) - During your draw, if your second card is a diamond or a heart, it will be announced to all other players and you will draw an additional card.
-Vulture Sam (4O) - Whenever a character is eliminated from the game, Sam takes all the cards that player had in his hand and in play, and adds them to his hand.
-Jesse Jones (4O) - Instead of drawing from the deck, he may choose to have his first card drawn randomly from the hand of a player of his choice. He draws the second card normally.

Errol, when you are ready, you may choose one from the following three characters:
-Doc Holyday (4O) - Once during his turn, he may discard a card from his hand to play any other card as a Bang! card.
-Vera Custer (3O) - For a whole round, she gains the same ability of another character in play of her choice.
-Kit Carlson(4O) - When you draw, you draw three cards. You must choose one of them (PM me) to return to the top of the deck before you take your turn.

JetSquirrel, when you are ready, you may choose one from the following three characters:
-Paul Regret(3O) - all other players must add 1 to the distance to him.
-Pixie Pete(3O) - He draws 3 cards instead of 2 (3 life points)
-Molly Stark(4O) - Each time she uses a card from her hand out of turn, she draws a card.

Exkirby, when you are ready, you may choose one from the following three characters:
-Bart Cassidy (4O) - Each time he loses a life point, he immediately draws a card from the deck.
-Uncle Will (3O) - Once during his turn, he may play any card from hand as a General Store.
-Calamity Janet (4O) - She can use "Bang!" cards as "Missed!" cards and vice versa.

Shadowdump, when you are ready, you may choose one from the following three characters:
-Tequila Joe (4O) - Each time he plays a Beer, he regains 2 life points instead of 1
-Claus "The Saint" (3O) - He draws one more card than the number of players, keeps 2 for himself, then gives 1 to each player.
-Lucky Duke(4O) - Each time he is required to "Draw!" (for an effect, like the Barrel or when checking to see if he gets out of jail), he flips the top two cards from the deck, and chooses the result he prefers. Discard both cards afterward.

Let's assume one of us is scum. Even if we both die there is still one more out there. and we only have 2 mislynches, to get down to 2/5 situation.

Though technically, if one of you IS scum and you both get lynched, the town isn't actually in that bad a situation numbers wise.

That would be 1 townie dead (assuming the wrong person died first), 1 townie dead (nightkill), 1 scum dead, 1 townie dead (nightkill) then town vote at 6 town, 1 scum. Which would mean the town could then mislynch two more times and still pull off a win.

Nothing else really to add to this little exchange. I'm not convinced either of you are scum, so they're not exactly odds I'd want to roll with, but I figured I'd bring it up.
