It's a red herring a lot of the time. Someone killed Formalhaut and he accused Psychotic of being scum. Is Psychotic silencing Formalhaut????!!? OR IS SOMEONE FRAMING HIM>!>!>!!? Yawn. Mafia can just sit back and let the town tie itself in boring circular knots about that one.
Also I agree about scattergunning. I'm not advocating a random vote, that would be incredibly dumb and arbitrary, yeah. I mean look if at the end of the day and there's really nobody sticking out then use novote as last resort but certainly don't use it as Plan A. Vote for some people, see what happens, take it from there. As town - particularly a town that isn't a power role - it's your duty to make your intentions and thoughts as public as possible. Don't keep it close to your chest, get it all out there and let people try to get a read on you. And hey, you can always take back your votes!
But it doesn't really apply 'cause in this game there's been a whole heap of stuff that sets red flags and to comment on. I'm glad I'm not playing because I'd be screaming at everyone. I can't play nice when I play mafia.![]()
