Hey guy, how are things? Well from the rules we can NK only Swords and we have the power to block all night kills for one night only. The catch here is that power resides with the PC (me) so I guess I better not try and get myself lynched on the first day, remember that NAF NAF can find our Swords as he is the spy, guess we better not have him lynched either. So what is the strategy here? Just vote completely independently of each other, hell might as well vote for each other if there is a lynch leader who is not one of us?

The basic strategy is, I think, to play the game primarily from this board and start anylising vote patterns to let us know who is on what team. We probably don't ever want to vote for each other, but at the same time we are going to want to try to vote together after the first lynch and NK if we are all still alive. We will have to be able to co-ordinate and leverage our power. The game can be lost quickly in the first couple of rounds if we aren't careful, though it will take longer to win.
The longer all of us can stay alive the better off we are.
Who should I investigate first?

Oh and, we want to lynch people we are not able to Night Kill. If an investigation comes back as sword, we want to try to not lynch that guy but rather lynch someone else and then watch that guy to see what he does. Then NK him.
I also recommend keeping the game thread as full of fluff as possible so as to make it harder for the other teams to sort good information from bad.

Sounds good, right now the night investigation is pure pot luck, roll a dice. It works either way, we get a target for a NK, or someone we ident someone we don't want to NK and possible angle for a day lynch. I can see block voting as a problem, but then again, if we vote for each other then if anyone unvotes one of us who is looking to pick a lynch lead, that is surely a huge flashing sign.

Block voting isn't a good idea until we make it a couple of Days without one of us getting killed. On Day 1 random vote until a bandwagon starts then do whatever you can to make it hard for people to tell who's side you are on.

I say we don't vote for each other early on. Although it could make us look like opposite teams, we don't want to have to jump off of a lynch pile. As for voting as a team, we should save that till later in the game. Afterall, whoever we vote for, there is at least one other team who will be willing to vote for them.
As for the investigation, if we find somebody that we can't NK, we keep track of who voted for them. Most likely (wifom) they would be good NK targets.

I also think this is a no card flip game, so we won't know anything based on the days lynch. Now how to start the days voting, given that there is no town do we just come out and vote away?

random voting all the way. Keep it truely random for the first few votes, but move it often.
Remember, flooding the thread with fluff is key to confusing the enemy. The game is played here not in the game thread.

We don't want to move the votes around too often, unless we make sure we land on each other once in a while.
Just so you know, I'm going camping this weekend. I'll be home sometime Sunday night. But since we're in Night 0, I'm not overly concerned.

Don't forget to get your investigation target in to me before 9pm Eastern (in about 9 hours), NAF.

I usually just vote and unvote like crazy to make it hard to follow any pattern to my votes. But in the big clan-game I saw Cookie often voted for her team-mates. That made it really hard to tell her alignment - but it also did lynch 1 or 2 from her team.

I think for now we just try and scatter our votes. I am going to hang on Elazul for a bit and then (if his wagon gets more steam) back off of him and see if I can't convince people that we are on the same team.

FYI, I'm back, but I've got lots to do. (multiple mafia games, unpacking, dinner, etc) So I'll be posting in the game shortly. BTW, I did a brief scan, what is with all the vote/unvote?

I'm wondering if we should see if we can get Allwalker lynched. We can't NK him, and if he's the spy, it can be very good for us. The problem being if he's the Schollar Spy, they have the ability to save him from the lynch. In fact, based on the powers of the PC, if the person who is about to be lynched isn't a Stone, and is the spy, or the PC, they will likely be saved.
I figure whoever is saved, we should spy on, cause if they are the sword, they are likely the PC or the Spy.

I guess the scholar can pick who to save at any point during the game- it isn't clear from the colour how that works.
"The Scholar PC can prevent a lynch once."
The Sword PC can make one player immune to lynch and NK for a single Day/Night cycle. It isn't clear how when this power is chosen to be applied - do the pick at night and it applies for all the next day and night or that night and the next day.

At least with us all voting the same way we should get some cover based on the 'scum would never do that' theory
