If you need help about the general set-up, you can ask castleoblivion26 about it. Otherwise, if you need help about what to do/say, the post that Castle quoted on the front page is a good start. If you read through it, it should make the game a little clearer. :) A particularly important line is this: What is the best way to get a feel for a player? The best way is to force that player to make a stance.So if you don't understand a player, you can ask them about an event that happened, or why they have a vote on that person etc.

What exactly does ‘lynch’ mean in this game? Basically, at the end of the day period, Castle will stop anyone from talking on the chat, and count all the votes. If someone has a majority of votes (In this day, that would be 6 votes) they get 'lynched' and eliminated from the game. After they are lynched, it's revealed what character that person was.

we're off to a slow start, so I'll just requote this: if anyone has questions about how the game works please ask them in the thread. Asking what you think is a dumb question is so much better for town than just staying silent and watching the game. A few players have asked what to do or how to find information, and Kunt clarified it pretty well in his post last page. I'll just add that we're not going to solve the game D1 but the more D1 information we have to look back at in future days the easier finding the remaining scum will be. So please stay active and ask questions to the other players to find out information. Leo's post about being afraid of not being able to edit posts instead of saying the wrong thing stuck out as off to me but it's not enough for a FoS and could just as easily be a new player trying to understand how the game works. (though it does remind me of Broccoli's "can we lie about our role" post last game and he flipped maf lol) I'll look closer at the setup tonight, but wanted to throw some quick thoughts out there. Props to milo for the notable improvement between games btw, he's giving me an ever-so-slight town lean so far. Also liked gravey's response to the two votes on him.

My vote on gravey was just a test to see if somebody would join in a wagon of votes against him, To test posibbly scum. Web, my afraid to edit post was basically to fix grammar mistakes (that I usually do), not that I'm afraid to delete things I wrote. I didn't liked that gravey post where he said he is just watching, it gave me a little scum vibe. Whit that said, Unvote gravey

Also, I really don't know what to do exactly, this is my first time playing a game like this, and imagine playing the game in not your native language, it could be hard.
I'll try to catch up the game and do my best

I understand we have to force everyone to speak up and one of the ways was to put them on pressure.
Vote: greentoo
I myself haven't got any insight of things for now, I came in to the game with no knowledge at all lol, but maybe you have some cool ideas that you can share?

By ‘scum’ do people mean the bad guys, as in Krampus and the two evil elves?

Mmkay, finally off work and can actually read through this in depth. Thoughts so far: 1. Glad the roles are a little bit different than last time! It's a little tough to understand how they're gonna work, but that makes it fun! 2. Yikes this townsperson that's also a role-blocker really has a lot of power as they really get to pick which way the scale tips. This makes it that much more important to try and successfully lynch a mafia/bad guy on Day 1 so that we can convince them to side with the town (since they don't have to claim until Day2) since town would have a "leg up" at that point. 3. Question (that may have been answered but missed): So Conductor will get a town read on the special role-blocker, but will the Good Elf be able to tell if this special townie is bad if they are aligned with the mafia? Every night the Good Elf will be able to figure out someones identity and allegiance! - this sure sounds like the Good Elf would still be able to detect the special townie if they sided with mafia. Could be a good argument to make them side with the town if true! castleoblivion264. With only 11 players in the game and the potential to have 4 bad guys, we've gotta put in effort to be committed to this so that we just don't lynch the inactives that actually end up being town. So please please please stay updated on the game and weigh your thoughts and opinions consistently! I think greentoo's vote on gravey was just lack of knowing what's going on, so I wouldn't put too much thought into that yet since he's a newbie still figuring things out. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt right now, but I do expect you to contribute thoughts and opinions soon green! :)

The good elf will not get a special role read on the roleblocker. They will only see that they are a townsperson. The conductor would see they are not suspicious on night 1 but night 2 they would see suspicious

Agreed with the conversation above. A healthy level of activity, even if it’s just asking questions, is always a good sign and helpful to town. Otherwise you’re a liability and personally I’m a fan of policy lynching. Also, I really don't know what to do exactly, this is my first time playing a game like this, and imagine playing the game in not your native language, it could be hard. I'll try to catch up the game and do my best Your post above this one seems to contradict the new player thing. Baiting with a wagon (it was two vote tho to be fair lol that’s hardly a wagon...) is a strat you don’t really see from fresh faces. Just thinking aloud here.

Please don’t vote for me straight away. I know I can be very useful in this game and it wouldn’t be good to get rid of me. This is going to tie into the policy lynching brought up above, but you have to show through your posts that you'll be useful to not get votes. So far all you've brought up are a few questions about the game (which is definitely understanable for your first time) but you haven't offered any thoughts on players, even your vote on gravey was "entirely random". So what do you think of the any of the more experienced posters (Kunt, zaclord, myself, Cynthia, Snark Knight) so far? What do you think of Kunt's vote on Leo? You only have one vote right now so you're not in danger of being lynched, but if this day stays the way it's been so far I'm definitely going to vote for you or players who have had similar days to you. That means the posters like Sambadala, willapted, greentoo, etc who have really just said they're watching the game without offering anything else. If you don't take a stand on anything then it's nearly impossible to analyze your actions in future days, whether dead or alive. RE: policy lynching, I'm not going to lynch any of the experienced players I listed above (barring unlikely scumslips, etc.) because they've proven to be helpful in past games and town definitely can't risk losing a solid contributor this early with how inactive a bunch of the players are.

kinda far-fetched scenario but what if a Leo and greentoo mafia wanted to try and bump off gravey (since in their eyes he'd be an easy target) so decided to pick him as their target and inadvertently voted him at roughly the same time? The fact that their votes came in within five minutes of each other is pretty weird. Yeah it's unlikely, and if the mafia has any of the experienced players I mentioned above they'd probably stop that plan but since there have been so few interactions I'm just working with what I have.
Thoughts?

I haven’t got any thoughts on other players. To me Mylo seems slightly suspicious because he’s changed his votes a couple of times. I don’t know if that should be something to be suspicious of or not though. I haven’t really contributed too much because I’m worried I’ll say something stupid due to it being my first game. I have nothing to do with Leo, I was already planning on voting for gravey I just didn’t want to be the only one. But once I become more experienced in the game, I KNOW I will be more useful.

It's really important to start to put votes down, there's no threat of a majority lynch if a wagon gets too big since the day ends Sunday night (Eastern) anyway, so no one should be afraid to vote their suspicions at this point. If you don't have suspicions, start asking questions to find some.
also not going to lynch based on this point today, but the fact that some of the more experienced players have been largely quiet (on a weekend) means they don't mind the town being this inactive which usually isn't a town-friendly play. It's pretty easy to say "well everyone was inactive so I'll be inactive too", but I have a much shorter leash for the veterans compared to those in their first game or two.
I don't mind posting a bunch with no responses but it's not going to help out town nearly as much as if multiple players are contributing thoughts too.
For now: Vote: willapted
If you still aren't sure what to do, what questions do you have about the game?
Who do you think is the most suspicious player so far? What are your thoughts on any of the theories brought up by the other players?

I guess this is the RVS. So far, the newbies are who have votes against. Web I didn't vote garevy because he is a easy target, at this point I think only the inactive players or the newbie players are easy targets, I voted for him because (like I already said) his post "I'll be watching" reminded me to his last gameplay, where he delayed and delayed his opinions, I tried to get an opinion of himb but I got nothing.
