C9 Mafia Game: Snowblind

Alright, fair enough. Random votes can be annoying. But consider the following:
We all have to vote for someone because abstaining is not allowed. Traditionally, the first day of a mafia game such as this one starts with a flurry of nonsensical random votes for whoever takes each player's fancy - for example, every single game ever hosted at the .org. My vote put Snerk in very little danger, and I would, of course, have abandoned it if any better leads came up (which they have, now: see below). You can bandwagon me if you wish, choxorn et al, but cease with the 'I don't like random votes' rhetoric and have the decency to call a spade a spade: you voted for me because I was the first person to speak up.
It is only by tossing some names into the pile that leads will appear - you're all veteran mafia players and you know that very well. The lead that has appeared from both my vote and the votes you placed on me is that some players are unwilling to contribute to the procedure, even going so far as to break the rules by abstaining. In my opinion, that is, to borrow a phrase that Diamondeye might use, 'scummy'. For that reason I remove my vote forSnerkand place a new one on electric926, because being the second to do something is more suspicious than being the first, I think.
Now see reason, chox, that doesn't make any sense at all. If we have nothing to act on then every vote is essentially a random vote. In fact, the situation you described is the only case where random votes are excusable.
What is this? Oh wow your argument convinced someone on the fence to bandwagon against you. Not a smart reactionary vote.
You are wrong, it is usually the the third person on the bandwagon that is usually guilty, so I'll switch from

Indeed, mafias are often late posting bandwagoneers. Switching from Catharsis to Choxorn.

Yeah, I pretty much rock.
Does your argument that it is the third person to bandwagon who is guilty perhaps revolve around the fact that you were the second person to vote for me?
Are you referring to the 'no abstentions' rule? Well, actually, it doesn't matter what you're referring to. Here's what I see:
Diamondeye hasn't edited anything into the first post since the game started.

Correct. After editing in the last sign-ups, I sent out the PM(s) and started the game. Still, the no-abstaining rule might have been lost in the text for someone.
There is roughly six hours until night falls, and the tally says...
Catharsis: Electric926
Snerk: Choxorn
rhawn: Choxorn
Choxorn: Catharsis
Electric926: Catharsis
As such, there is a tie between Catharsis and Choxorn currently. If this is still the case when night falls, a RNG will be used to determine who is lynched. I would recommend the two remaining players, Civplayah and Civgeneral, to show signs of activity within the next six hours or at the very least in the next day phase.

It is well known that the second vote is not a bandwagon vote. It is the third vote that often starts the "poo"-storm for the bandwagonee.

The atmosphere, as the temperature, was freezing cold. The men looked at each other with mistrust, and Catharsis was the first to voice his concerns over someone else, but was soon looking like the main suspect himself. But in the end, his convincing speech won over the majority of the drivers, and they instead turned their gaze towards Choxorn, who had been far too eager to dispatch of Catharsis earlier.
The other truck drivers advanced on Choxorn from all sides, barefisted or with any blunt object that was lying around. Choxorn stumbled backwards, holding his hand protectively out from his body. "Guys, listen, there's no need for this. We've already lost Ryan and you're only making this worse."
One of the approaching men, rhawn, shook his head. "No, we're ending it. It's you who's responsible for this mess, and you'll pay for it."
Choxorn's fuse had obviously burnt down, and he exploded in a loud outburst. "So what if I did? You'd have done the same thing, it's not like Ryan would even survive that trip, and I just want the freight so I can return to my family with more than a few pocket coins and-"
A swing from a large wrench hit him on the lower jaw and stopped his selfrighteous rant. The drivers stood around him and pounded and punished him with bare fists or their improvised weapons until Choxorn was but a broken frame buried in the bloody snow. Then they went inside the trucks to sleep through the freezing night.
It is now night! Day comes in 24 hours.

Not bad for a fairly random lynch that.

Rhawn, I doubted your perspicacity unfairly. Well done, sir.

He couldn't sleep, but was lying outside, looking at his own breath, clearly visible in the frosty air. Would they make it home alive? Were there any more murderers than Choxorn?
So lost was he in these thoughts, that he only barely managed to catch a glimpse of the dark figure standing over him before the first bullet hit. Low, muffled noises gave away to revealing that the silenced pistol fired another two, and they, too, hit their target. As his world begun to darken, he could only look passively at the shadowy figure heading back towards the trucks.
He woke up again when another dark figure loomed over him, fiddling with a small briefcase in one hand and pacifying the wounded man's arms with the others. Suddenly, the wounded man felt a small sting in one of his arms, and the pain disappeared in a comfortable calm.
The dark figure quickly removed the bullets and bandaged the wounds of the patient, staying with him until he woke up. He left just as the man lying in the bloody snow opened his eyes, refusing to reveal his saviours identity. "Better get some clean clothes on, the dawn is breaking," the figure who had saved his life said while heading back towards the truck. The wounded man looked down at himself and decided that the man who had saved him had a point; his clothes were not only soaked in blood but also freezing cold to the touch.
It is now day! Night falls in 24 hours!
Someone saved an unknown person from dying. Nobody else have been attacked.
Note that this basic mafia game works without the clues that are traditional for CFC mafia games.

Gonna have to vote for electric926 again. The previous day's votes suggest that it's either him or CivGeneral, and CG hasn't even shown up, which suggests that he doesn't realise the game has started, which means he didn't get a PM, which means he isn't mafia.

Aye it's most likely electric.

Hmm. Well it looks like someone tried to kill me last night and someone saved me. Thank you mystery man, I owe you my life. Ok, so one of us is mafia out of the six remaining.
My gut tells me that civplayah is innocent because he cast the deciding vote against Choxorn. I think Catharsis is also innocent because he would not have accused electric yesterday, he would have likely tried a counter-bandwagon against someone else. Also his reasoning about CivGeneral is clear enough. He must sincerely believe that electric926 is mafia so I'll go along with that for now.
