MAFIA VII - PROTOSS MAFIA

Abstaining

[AA7Dragoon]

All have spoken now, and three of you are secretly Dark Templar.  I believe this night will cost us deeply, as the Arbiters shall not be able to protect all of us, especially if there is good reason to know of their identities already.  If we were to decide on one who is guilty and be correct, the danger of night would only expose one of us to death.  Which is why I am against an abstaining vote.  Yet, I have no one to accuse with reasonable certainty.

I fear for my life this night.  Dark shadows lurk about me, and I would ask an Arbiter for protection.  I say this, for in my dreams I saw the Executor declare my death to all.

You seem very eager, brother..

A random lynching maybe but I choose Mac out.

In all honesty, we really needs one dark templar out at all costs, 2 kills a night is rather fast while if it goes down to 1 kill per night (due to 1-2 dark templar(s) left), time would be at our side. Arbiters were lucky this initial night but the odds are only 8-10% that each will successfully protect someone else.

Quite frankly, there is no real evidence to really target anyone but I still feel it's the better course of action in the end. Dark Templars won't die if we all abstain one to three rounds in a row.

And yes, I am doing it fully knowing that ill probably be the target of the lynching in the end. But someone must take the risk of throwing the first stone.

(Haha, sore from our AIM games much. )

So, if we all abstained, I would die now... But if I voted for Ricky, we'd just both die since it would be a tie.  But I don't want to just die for no reason.

A random lynching, huh.

If you bothered to read the rules you'd know that abstaining is in fact a vote, and if "abstain" wins, no one will get lynched. If the mob has a bunch of pacifists and one war hawk, the pacifists are going to be able to prevent the war hawk from just murdering one of them. So if there are more abstains than votes for any one person (or even the same number), no one will be lynched.

GEEZ FINE

A random lynching, huh.

Yeah, pretty much. Could just point anybody other than Aekenon, Negi and myself. It ended up being you.

[Lavarinth]

Appalling, brother. Appalling. I viewed you differently.

[Mucky]

Voting to abstain.

[ShadowFlare]

Vote to abstain


[irrelevant side discussion]
Haha, btw, I think it is more fun when abstaining counts as no vote instead of voting to do nothing -- like in one game over AIM when everyone voted to abstain except me, and I killed Milldawg by being the only one to vote (lol), even though I was just a civilian (I did it for amusement in spite of my status ).  It definitely makes the voting more interesting, because once someone votes a name someone is going, which means less abstaining overall if you are expecting others to not abstain.

Of course, that's not how it would work in the real world, unless that meant not showing up to vote.

Voting to abstain

[Aekenon]

I'll vote Mac just because I feel ornery.

[mAc Chaos]

ABSTAIN, motherfuckers.

Fair enough.  You fellows should really brush up on Terran culture, though.  What with our increased communications with their kind, the ability to comprehend them will become ever-more valuable.  But I digress yet again.

Amusing... Aekenon, your taste in companions grows ever more inexplicable.

I'll vote Mac just because I feel ornery.

The Conclave will not be pleased.
