Points against this behaviour:
-as I said this is not best mafia move, in particular declaring it (or maybe double-cross?), but what's the point to keep this line carrying on with the game? Stay far from the lights?--> typical mafia behaviour
-if you are town, mafia will point at you in first night kills, you are not a person that the doctor will likely save, as useless for city investigations
-if you have a power pro-town role city needs you, so or in the future you have to interact more, or don't follow a so suspicious behaviour, otherwise none will follow you

Ok, but maybe you'll die before you get the point.
Doctor and detective aren't powerful roles iyo?

They're essential roles, I wouldn't say theyre powerful necessarily. Considering doctors cannot heal themselves (not even once, as in ToS) and with framer in the game, detective loses a lot of oomph, when there is nothing to counter the frame

And dying is not a problem, someone has to die, and town can afford losing one. My main goal is to leave a trail for people who like to read, and can figure things out.

Okay then, actually maybe you talked more than what you wanted, but that's just good, I hope you'll continue this way...
Last thing I have to say is that if you want people point at you because you are saying nothing, maybe you can attract also clean intentioned ones, not a good trail to follow

I like that more from you. However I’m worried at you two not wanting to lynch - do we want to give the mafia a freebie kill tonight which gives us very little clues?

jandal7 wrote:
Sorry, those four points on how to act weren’t enough substance? I’ve said how I think we should play at the moment and also put a lynch in to get things going (as has sammy). Can’t do much more yet, hopefully we can work together on this though and we can be convinced of each ither’s good intentions through actions today

Guess we just have differing styles - I think early lunches force “the heat� to build earlier and force people to become active and maybe cause a mafia slip-up. Hope you’re right though

Anyway, Knockout's guidelines that Jandal posted from last game are pretty good rules to generally follow at the start. Also, Jandal seems to be taking the lead for the town a little bit, which imo is great because he seems quite trustworthy so far at least but we just all have to be a tad wary (although I only say this because he's been running this game so long so I assume he's an expert ) of the technically possible control the town as mafia strategy. That said, he seems like the most trustworthy guy so far because he's been the most committed to keeping things organised and moving forward.

I just posted those because nobody had posted for 2 hours, I don't want to try be a leader any more than I have to as nobody should - I know because I made the same post as knockout and I am a "assumed expert" people might expect that, but over-reliance on knockout was a flaw in some previous games - an over-reliance on a first-time player would be much worse

That's fair and again, I think it's a good sign that you're willing to take charge and be active from the start and as long as it's not full on Knockout level reliance, having somebody to keep things moving can be a benefit to the town if it's less reliance and more facilitating discussion and good play, like you were doing.
