If you've actually nabbed a mafia, outing yourself as the cop isn't a bad idea.
I know that if you'd just come out and said so, I'd have voted for him.
Same here. The Town needs to cooperate if they want to have any chance of winning. Even if you do end up killed at least you got a scummo first. There are more Townies than there are scummos anyway, so it's a pretty good trade.
Considering every single post I made said vorlon was mafia, and anyone defending him must be his compatriots, I hoped people would get the hint. I could live a few days and grab another.
But alas, the town is weak willed and expects me to "take one for the team"
I play every mafia game like I want to win, so outing myself unless being forced, especially in the game I was most excited for as of yet seemed pretty out of the question.
That being said, nice job on the sk's part of killing me. I imagine the 30+ posts condemning vorlon would be enough to at least hang him at that point.
Great Game K, although aren't all of yours? I really enjoyed my role, and the kind of post restriction. I figured if I had to vote like that I might as well just talk in character the whole time.

The sooner you can get the Mafioso lynched, the less damage he can do. It's fairly simple. Also, consider that while the Townies had no idea whether Vorlon was Mafia or Town the Mafia knew full well that you were on to something, whether it was through luck or skill. That means that they can mess with you while the Town may not realize you need to be protected.
Also, just saying "Vorlon is scum!" without explaining why you say that gets a little old after a while, so it's not really strange that people stop listening after a while.

Well, did you win this game?
Not to be harsh, but if people do not listen to you you should at least consider taking a different approach. As I said, outing yourself also means you get more protection and aid, and the Mafia simply cannot deal with all the Townies at once.
If we had lynched Vorlon earlier the Mafia would lose a member, an important power and perhaps we would have gotten a better picture of who may and may not be Mafia. Voting records are incredibly important, particularly when you lynch scum.
Hinting takes a lt of skill. Heck, even the experienced players here who knoe each other well do nt always succeed in dropping hints that people actually get.
I was asked point blank if I was serious, and said yes. I'm not really sure how much more I can say without giving away the whole shebang.
There's so much that can motivate a lynch vote though: Tracking your target targeting someone suspicious, for instance. Copping someone as Mafia is pretty dang condemning though. Heck, sometimes I consider "because I feel like it" a valid reason to start a lynch. That's really part of the procedure: Someone starts a vote train, the accused gets a chance to defend himself. Sometimes the claim is good enough, sometimes not. You shouldn't expect people to just follow you blindly without question though. Sometimes they do, but those times are few and far between.
Rokk hesitated on using it, and eventually he died without the magicite coming into play.
It was less hesitation and more, "Saving it for Terra or Celes." as I was getting into the "True to Locke" aspect...which always ends up dooming me in these games.
"Nobody important? That's amazing. You know, in 900 years of traveling time and space I've never met someone who wasn't important."
