You guys be deductin'? Good. I haven't mapped out how it would work with 5 mafia, but seeing how a tie vote works to figure out where the mafia is voting.
- For those new to the game, mafia votes don't count.
- So when a final tally of villagers' votes are counted, mafia votes' will not matter.
- So if the final count is Person X: 5 votes, Person Y: 5 votes, and Person Z: 3 votes, there were only 2 mafia remaining, and the final result was a tie between Person X and Person Z…
- …then you could conclude that the two mafia voted for Person X.
- This is because no tie occurred between Person X and Person Y like we'd expect, but instead occurred between Person X and Person Y.
- That means that the two mafia are 2 of the 5 people who voted for Person X.
- It also means that everyone else cannot be mafia.
Mathematical impossibility.

I'm not great a figuring out suspicious activity, so I prefer this method to figure out who is the mafia. Since it's the first round, it generally doesn't matter how you vote or how you get to your vote, but it's best to make the vote close to a tie to determine where (and if) the mafia is voting.
tl;dr Deduction works if you use it right. Use it as a tool. Get in on it. BSoD among others have seen it in action.
Also, ItizPWNED is going to be absent from the forum for a while and cannot run the game. Since I'm actively involved and actively dead, he asked if I would become narrator. I can do that, since I'm back online frequently again, but that also means I can't help the villagers in anyway. I'd be neutral.
The alternative is to find someone else who dies, to find someone outside of the game to run it, or to put the game on hold until PWNED is back (likely at the end of the weekend.)
I have a message from him, but I don't want to save a screepcap, upload it to imgur, and post it. Stuff like that takes a while for my computer.
Scratch that.
Are you guys OK with that?
