    I'm more suspicious of Trust because is extremely silent, missed the first vote, and is in the middle high score area.
    to be fair he lives in a different time zone.

    Which makes him a rather easy target

    Yeah, and even so he doesn't talk a lot, but he's in a weird place score-wise.

    Guys, just got caught out by this starting on a weekend, when I wasn't expecting it to. First day I wasn't around at all, I'm surprised that I even finished the race considering I didn't put in race orders, turns out you auto default to balanced.

    Night 2 I just put in balanced orders again since it went so well first time. I'll be more active tomorrow if I survive the night.

    Also Cythral for poor vote justification. Every race has a points/position chart, so it's pretty obvious how I got in the place I'm in.

    Throw away vote that drew more attention than intended?

    I'm distrustful of people that had marked improvements, as that could mean a shift in strategy (or in allocation), and a pretty obvious mafia strategy would be to start out bad (likely through coordinated attacks to try to get an extra elimination) and let the village clamor over the early high scorers.

    With three eliminations a night, I'm not sure the mafia is getting a lot of value out of any 'slow down and attack' methods. Unless you think the mafia selected JPants over someone with a pivotal vote on Gizzy yesterday (they clearly took out megafrost last night because of his votes). Can't the mafia win simply by finishing with the most points? A mafia was just found in the top ten.

    What i could see, is that the mafia divvy up their assignments, with half of the mafia racing for speed and the other half acting as a goon squad.

    I had been working under the presumption that one kill each night has just been people being eliminated due to the crash chance but after looking at it again, I'm not sure. Presuming that a mafia kill and a vote are automatic crashes/eliminations, then there have been 5 crashes and 2 eliminations. If people are playing defensively, then that's a pretty absurd ratio (<1% chance of having 2 or more eliminations from 5 crashes). At all-out, it's up to 13% but still more likely that there have been no crashes and that there's just another kill out there (either another village kill or 2nd mafia kill).

    The narration makes it pretty clear...

    Day 1- Obifett(vote), discrider (crashed and got eliminated), jdarksun(mafia)
    Day 2- Gizzy (vote), Jpants (attacked by other player = crashed+eliminated), Megafrost (mafia)

    Would probably be a good idea to focus on pure speed, but then crashing :(

    Egos, sorry for the comment earlier, your crash makes me sad.

    I don't like any of the wagons out there, so I'm going to pick Bedlam because he voted for me on Day 1

    Schuss didn't finish race 1, but finished third race 2.

    That's one hell of an improvement.

    they probably crashed race 1 because they were going so fast.

    that seems...

    pretty obvious to me.

    Honestly, I have no idea on who to vote for right now. I'd assume there are mafia hanging around the top 10 somewhere. They have to keep runners up nearish the top. I also would guess they have a blocker or two, so somewhere mid-table and below.

    I'm guessing maybe somewhere in the 5-10 range is a mafia for sure.

    Suspicious of that vote timing on gizzy, along with his placement.

    Saying one of 5 people is probably mafia in a 25 person game strikes me as pretty meaningless.

    Which is why I am voting Assuran it really seems like you're trying to help but everything you're saying seems quite unhelpful.

    If it weren't for the fact that I also want to win the race, I'd say that were kind of silly.

    Votes on Gizzy. Assuran and Cythraul's read the most suspicious to me. As in they are trying to garner favor (ie:suck up/win points) but are only giving the obligatory amount of rationale. Sadly villagers tend to be more lazy in my experience. Granted the read could be wrong. Cythraul currently isn't a threat, in terms of winning.

    Mr.T and Assuran are. The spikes in activity make me a bit O_o but who knows.

    That said I do think Cythraul has a point with Trust to some degree. But this is a game where mafia can easily throw each other under the bus considering the win. Not that he definitely is but am concerned considering that comment. And the spike in activity.

    Cythraul is a very low threat, so I might reconsider . I believe he is dead last.

    Saying this mainly to reaffirm that we only need to prevent the mafia from winning the race.
