Without private comms I consider today even more useless that day 1 of mafia except by being charming enough to get votes (if that's your plan) or offputting enough to not get votes (if that's your plan). I mean I guess you can try to influence what people pick to discard, too, but the actual ability to do that seems...limited, to say the least.

nonsense, whoever makes the best shitposts on day one will be in an incredibly strong position later on. in this essay, i will

I absolutely did not discard my Dictator card and you should vote me Dictator.

I had an unexpected birthday party so I wasn't here to "officially" close the thread at deadline, but we're in night 2 now :v:. You may all let me know if you'll vote up or down. (and if you already know for sure who exactly you'll be voting, and what one role you'll discard tonight, let me know that as well).

Not too bad.

So far ive discarded Assassin, Dictator and Bourgeoisie because I naively believe that the common human can unite with others without fear of exploitation by sociopaths or those inspired by greed and personal power.

So I'm playing like I live... like a fool!

But... that's ok.

Why shouldn't I downvote you?

Well, except for the two people who threw away their villagers, already. Then I guess we could win as long as they don't win. But who could they be?

For whatever reason no matter how many times I read rules they don’t stick until I do them. I just figured out a major mechanic last night so I could easily be wrong about this
