2. for voting for me
3. for having a Spice and Wolf avatar
4. for voting two people at once
Of course it is necessary. How else would people start an actual conversation? Would we have a serious post for the first post? If we did, it would be like blaming someone for no reason which is basically RVSing but only more serious. Besides we don't always want serious posts from the start and we want to gather tension up along the way anywayPaltryExcuse wrote:Just reading other games on the forum, I noticed a lot of conversation on whether or not random voting is necessary / helpful.

Also, a random question aimed more at the newbies, how much experience have you at this type of mafia (forum-based)?
Personally, I only have the bit of lurking and reading other games on this forum. I've played mafia with friends, but never before on forums with people I've never met. This is my first game.

Of course they are jokes.

His vote started the bandwagon of T-chan, and moved to DeathNote starting a new bandwagon.
Part of me thinks these are joke votes as this happened within the RVS, but it nonetheless caught my attention. Thoughts Mafia_failure?
