I'll be on the island with Sorian, I guess.

OVERRIDE: roytheone
I mean Investigations 2 is maybe the best game in the series so everyone should try to find a way to play it.
INFLUENCE: CornBurrito
Don't worry Sorian, I will stop this when the game starts..... probably.
I'm not terribly strict on highlighted text. Day/Night starts and ends are definitely no bueno, don't do that again Gorlak, otherwise though, I'll probably just ignore all your non-sense.

Gorlak is just salty he didn't get into this game

OBJECTION!
At Edgeworth's request, everyone had been shuffled into courtroom 2. Gumshoe was busy collecting any evidence he could find at the scene in courtroom 4 and the courthouse was completely locked down until this mystery could be solved. Including the fine detective at the crime scene, there were 21 people gathered.
Though this wasn't an official trial, some things were habit. The judge had seated himself at the head of the courtroom. Phoenix Wright had taken his position at the defendant's bench with his assistant, Maya, at his side. As Edgeworth was about to begin the proceedings, the judge spoke up, obvious confusion across his face.
"I could have sworn there was another woman in here when we first entered. She was wearing purple and white clothing and had brown hair. I see a little girl over there with the same clothes but the woman I saw was quite a bit....... bustier. Mr. Wright, what is the meaning of this?"

"Are you sure, your honor? That's just Pearl. She's been here the entire time, you've even seen her on the witness stand before."
"Hmm, I see. Well, Pearl, the court appears to be in quite the commotion today. Please just be patient while we solve this case. Mr Edworth, please continue....
Day 1 has begun.
ScraftyDevil is confirmed to be Pearl Fey, a town-aligned player.
There are currently 21 living players. Day 1 will end once a choice reaches 11 votes or in:

So Scrafty is confirmed good. Interesting.
Also:
VOTE: Barrylocke
I don't trust him not to have a grudge against me from the first game >_>

This is mainly a joke, but yeah. What's the deal with first day voting, is consensus for or against these days?
It is. She doesn't seem to have any powers though, so I wonder if this will make her an obvious night kill target or not.
Also, I find it interesting that we need to remove all non town players to win, so that rules out survivor neutrals.

JOKE
The only way to make sure we don't lynch the Doctor D1 is to lynch ScraftyDevil
END JOKE

If we're looking at the exact wording, it also implies that there's neutral(s) who can win solo.

Well, I would always assume there is a neutral that can win solo in every gafia game, it's a pretty safe assumption.

Wow that's interesting. Luckily we know Scrafty is a townie.
Xamtheking

Also, by what metric is Scrafty innocent in any way?
I am in favor of a day 1 lynch. Not doing that will remove a large part of the stakes of today, which will make it easier for scum to hide. There need to be risk for them, or they can just sit back and stay in the shadows.
The moderator confirmed it. This isn't rated high enough on the Crab scale for Sorian to lie to us on that point.

I figured that day 1 lynching was the standard. Has there been a Gafia game where No Lynch won on day 1?

Town winning after a day 1 no lynch?
Well I believe I won Animal Crossing for town

At least now that I'm confirmed to be an ally of JUSTICE, no one can attempt to undermine or cast suspicion on me.

Some idle thoughts before the proceedings begin:
1. It is likely but not certain that a miller or miller-type role is in play to balance out my status as a known factor
2. The early stages of a trial are when we have the least information, so be on the lookout for anyone who seems to know more than they're supposed to
3. Perhaps I should rent a locker at the courthouse to stash a larger set of clothing. I always feel one wrong movement away from a wardrobe malfunction while wearing Pearl's robes.

I meant that "No Lynch" won the vote on day 1
But guess that answers that question too.
The first game also had a no lynch on D1. I think it has only been the two.
yes, that's what happened.

It doesn't really mean much, don't overthink it.
I thought I'd come out strong with an aggressive Joke Vote
but hey, if you're so concerned about it what do YOU think it means?
CornBurrito

As always, I think that pretty much all the major mafia games on this site have a win condition designed to be ambiguous as to whether or not neutrals exist. There probably is at least one neutral. But there could very well not be. Reading into the win condition isn't worth it.

Has there ever not been a neutral?

He's Xam.

Possible, but honestly I think you role was balanced by not making it a choice and out you immediately. A confirmed towny becomes more valuable as the game goes on, and by forcing you to come clean directly, you are pretty much guaranteed to become a scum target sooner than later,and you will probably not make it very far in the game, making your power a bit less powerful.

Although pressure votes on Xam are a bit wasted seeing as he's generally pretty active anyway.
So
Vote: Zubz
Don't think they've commented yet.

I can say that Xam has.... interesting gameplay habits.
Like role claiming ordinary villager randomly at early points. Or being generally joke-posty.
He's not the worst choice for a D1 lynch.

Gives night actions something to WIFOM about too.

Actually this is sort of stuff I wanted to talk about. But I feel that talking about this might lead to a premature bodyguard claim or a bodyguard (if one exists, and I think one might given that such a role fits the flavor) being found out based on their posts.
