does anybody else feel like interns are getting more and more incompetent? I just had a birthday and some intern with this big stupid grin on his face gave me something called a "pet rock"
He now has a p"pet rock" sized bruise somewhere on his torso. Been a while since I've played ball but I guess the ol' arm still got that zing! Ripped it right across the room.

How do you propose gaining info without lynching anyone?

I apologize. Will be rectified for next vote tally.
I am only one woman. Vote recording can be too much for my weak female brain.

It feels rather random to me. I mean, it's my first-time mafia-ing, but we just decide to lynch someone for no apparent reason.
Maybe we should just wait until one of the Rummies attacks.

That doesn't give us any extra information though as to who is a Rummy, only who is not and by that point said person is dead.
In fact in doing that we'd have less information as to who is who because we couldn't look at other people's voting in the first day.
Waiting just gives the Rummies an extra chance to strike.
That said though I've never played Mafia over a forum before either so my observations may not be entierly correct either.

Yeah, let's let the mafia be the sole arbiters of who lives and who dies.
Your line of thinking is not unusual for new players, but it is extremely flawed.

Probably. But no lynching gives 0% chance of killing scum.

day 1 voting is a lot like old people voting on the butterfly ballot in 2000
People look at the ballot quickly, try to vote the top scum candidate, and end up voting for Pat Buchanon
Then days 2-7 are those old people trying to drive home. A couple swerves into the median, a few downed mailboxes, sometimes driving 5 mph in a 30 mph zone, but you know they're trying to make it home.
Except takhisis, he goes back to his little ball of string since cats can't vote

yeah, this has actually been pretty tame for a Day 1 I feel

There is the occasionally day 1 bag based off real character/post deconstruction, but it's not the default expectation certainly.
We've got a good margin for error though. The scum have to force the town (s) to miss a fair bit. Don't overthink things too much when there's little to go on, just *play with the flow and trust your instincts. If something jumps out to you, go with it even if you've no rational explanation. That comes later with better data.
A vanilla town needs to be willing to make sacrifices both of their kin and themselves. It's much more strategic than the tactical game of cat and mouse the wolves and big power roles are prone to playing.
(going with the flow is awful advice later on, but day 1 is it's on ritual compared to what follows)

Advocating for no lynch lessens information and only helps the wolves.
