    This does seem to be a solid plan, these Masons coming forward.

    I agree, but the way you've phrased this is suspicious.

    Ok, since I'm going out soon and may not be back in time for the narration, I'll have to change my vote from silly reasoning to something with at least a small glimmer of rationalism.

    So !Timothy Leary Come Check Out This Theory and !Suki

    He voted for the first bandwagon of the game (dogbone) while just repeating the reasons of the first two guys. I know that's not much, but we don't have anything to go by.

    I do think Robos plan is at least worth thinking about, so I won't vote him out for proposing it. I also doubt that he is really in danger, so I don't have to bandwagon Dogbone to save him. (uean will probably change his vote away from Robos, Kistra might do the same)

    Okay, here's the deal with the reveals as I see it (and as I've discussed a bit with the mentor):

    3 of us are going to die tonight:

    1 to the village
    1 to the vig
    1 to the mafia

    If the narration is going to reveal which faction/power killed whom, then we're pretty golden. We don't usually know this until after night 1 though. Anyway, the Vig should reveal his kill choice after vote close but before narration tonight. That means that tomorrow the guardian can guard the vig and the seer can seer the vig and then reveal himself to the vig because he should know the Vig's spartan name which has been redacted from the OP role posts.

    Day three, the seer can start seering anybody who contacts the vig and claims a special role. So that should be the guardian and one of the two masoned brothers (the other one won't need seering as he's already confirmed). If the mafia gets three days of non-special kills that means we have a pretty well setup network by day 4.

    one correction though: the mafia gets 2 kills a night. (it's in their role PM in the OP)

    Oh, whoops. I didn't see that. Well, more chances for everything to go wrong and we lose our specials early! Hooray?

    I guess that's why the Vets like to look at voting history so much.

    If we both change then he goes to four and we drop to four. Three way tie. Then we just sit back and wait for another person or persons to see the true light.

    And we can enjoy our hoagies instead of duelling with them.

    Christ, the last two times I've tried to post the forums have gone down. Are the people making the forums go distracted by PAX or something? Perhaps swine flu?

    Since a bandwagon change of this nature would be kinda suspicious for mafia to start, I support the !Suki bandwagon. The whole tied votes between Robos and Dogbone would have been bad, because if one of them was mafia they would have been able to subtly tip the scales.

    I support the vig reveal plan as well. Masons should not reveal if we're going with this (they can contact the vig and vote for each other).

    We don't know that the vig will be online right before the day ends, though.

    Also, the mafia might be allowed to change their target at the last second. The close of voting doesn't necessarily mean that the night's other targets aren't locked in as well.

    The OP says any actions taken after 9:59EST will not count. I'm guessing that means the mafia is locked into their choice as much as anyone else is.

    Dogbone is correct. All votes and orders must be received prior to vote close in order for them to count.

    If the vig gets dead at any point, then one of the masons can reveal themselves and asked to be guarded/seered. If two people claimed to be one of the Masons, well then one of the mafia has just revealed themselves, and I'd gladly exchange a 1 for 1 there.

    The key is that the other mason stays hidden so that the first one can share all the PMs with that other person in case the guard fails to act and the revealed mason gets killed. The hidden mason can then reveal himself to the village by knowing the contents of those PMs and hopefully be successfully guarded from then on.

    You could die. Being knowledgeable does that.

    Then again, any of us could die by the mafia. Except mafia.

    If the vig doesn't announce his kill tonight, a mason should definitely reveal. There seem to be a lot of ways to construct a village network in this game, so we should make sure to get on it quickly.

    Grobian started the bandwagon on you. You jumped onto the bandwagon on Dogbone. Jumping onto a bandwagon without your own reason makes you suspicious, as there aren't any leaders in this game (yet).
