    So... you're claiming to be neutral? Again?

    No, I am claiming to be African, which I will happily admit is definitely not neutral, but is also so unlikely to win by our wincon without getting our legs under us early that the reveal is worth it. We have as little reason to want the Mafia alive as the rest of you, so help us out!

    This is pretty neutral sounding

    It is pretty neutral-sounding, but it appears to be something more akin to a "Good luck, buddy," from Obi.

    I'd like to thank everyone for getting in touch with me. Your cooperation, while not necessary per se, is still appreciated.
    I live by many rules, you know. Many many. One of them is 'always respond to PMs.' Those of you who chose not to respond are not being included in further communications, ok?
    It's just easier that way.

    And when in doubt, just remember:

    Heck of a reason to ask me to sign up, Mikey. :P

    Also, as you guys can see, I have either persuaded premium that I'm scary enough that someone should kill me outright or that I am a friendly African diplomat trying to unite his shattered continent. The latter is the accurate answer, though maybe you don't believe!

    Let's make wild assumptions!

    1) There are two mafias representing the Asians and the Meds. Guesstimate 4 each in a game this size. (8/39)
    2) There are time squad specials (4 named in the narration besides Paul Henri Durand: 12/39)
    3) There are American military/government specials (7 named in the narration: (19/39)
    4) There's a person representing our traitorous/kidnapped/secret evil megalomaniac out to rule the world serial killer time doctor (20/39).

    That seems a lot of non-villagers for a game this size already. It makes me question Canada/Africa, quite frankly. Especially if they're both supposed to be factions with multiple members who have to contact each other. And if they exist, there almost has to be a Latin American faction (and probably northern Europeans as well).

    Meta wise, I grow doubtful. Bonus: auralynx liked to fuck with the village and spread false information when we were both mafia.

    And I know there are actually vanillagers and that wasn't just a dummy PM, because I am not cool and just a normal.

    So I think for now I do not buy this Africa nonsense, and I vote for auralynx.

    If there are 2 separate mafias I would expect them to be a little bigger(maybe 5 each) unless they have compatible win conditions.

    As I said, I think they can win together if we're on the right days in the time stream, or all the time.

    FWIW, ebum, I have been noisy as hell and super-interested in swinging big early on in every phalla since my I got the lay of the land in my first couple and decided quiet was boring. This is in-character mafia or not. :D

    Yeah, I agree with that other posts that the mafia's would be a bit bigger if they had different win conditions and theoretically that many specials. Also, while we're talking meta, this is obiphalla, if it weren't for the fact that I got a vanillager role, I would be skeptical that he'd actually include vanillagers :P

    I think this qualifies under ObiPhalla's "no vanillagers" rule because the vote is weird so you need to pay attention to it more than normal.

    Premium, your logic about Canada/Africa in a game this size makes sense, but what makes you think there 'must' be factions for Latin America and N. Europe?

    Because of you're right and Aura and INANTP are serious, then this is a very dense game, indeed.

    That was me. It seems logical. If it's a geopolitical battle and sub-Saharan Africa and friggin Canada (no offense hosers, but you are not really the global domination types) get factions, you would think Northern (i.e. non-Mediterranean) Europe would play some kind of role, as would be the billion plus people of Latin America.

    EDIT: Remember, wild assumptions are in operation in that post.

    Please note that there was no specific number of players this game was designed for. If we had 60 people I would expect to see all the named characters in the OP in game, but with less than 40 I think some were cut.

    I can clarify one of them for you: There are definitely more factions in action than just America, the mafia (whoever they are) and Africa, particularly since my particular flavor of African wants to help a different group than the other African who's taken me up on that post does. Fortunately, we both love our mother continent and have agreed to work together for now.
