But could he do it over the Internet? That’s my question.

I don’t know–I couldn’t figure out how he did it in person. I just don’t have his powers of observation. Thinking about it, he probably couldn’t do it over the internet with a bunch of strangers. I think he did observe body language and such. Although that doesn’t explain all his abilities in that line.
Girl probably wasn’t. She didn’t know me well. I don’t think she knew Boy well, although she may have known him better than she knew me, and I don’t think she like having to make THE decision which would cause one of us to win the game. Too much pressure.
I caught a glimpse of what may have been a dribble of blood on Enginerd’s pocket-protector out of the corner of my eye while s/he silently lurked in a dark corner of town. So I’m casting my vote for Enginerd. Perhaps it will lure him/her out into the harsh and consequential light of day.

On the other hand, I once played with a group of 10-15. I was the only Mafia person left, with two townspeople. I (uncharacteristically) announced that I was sure that Boy was Mafia. Boy claimed I was Mafia. Girl dithered and dithered before finally picking Boy to lynch, despite more than one dead person who “helpfully” agreed with Boy that I was acting out of character(my IRL character, not my in game character). And so, I won.

When I played in RL, there was a rule that dead people had to be quiet or leave the game area, so as not to influence the other players. Also, voting was done by a show of hands to avoid confusion. So, I propose a couple of rules, subject to everyone’s agreement and Revenant Threshold’s approval.
Non-players, or players who have been killed, should not post anything that could affect the outcome of the game. For example, if we lynch Og and Og turns out to be a werewolf, he should not post all the secret werewolf discussions he has had access to or anything like that.
If you wish to retract a vote, or vote against something, I suggest that it be colored red, like this: Don’t hang Og! He’s innocent!
Do you bring a picnic basket to your own lynching? That is the question. If I do, anyone who voted to lynch me isn’t allowed to eat the chicken salad.

Mmm..chicken salad..
I didn’t try to lynch you yet. I’ll get some bread should the need arise.

Sounds good to me.
Come on, people! What’s a lynching without a little hysteria? Or better yet, a lot of hysteria?!? This is the saddest excuse for an hysterical mob I’ve ever seen. Where’s your torches? Your pitchforks? Eh?
Eh?
Why, back when I was a lad, we knew how to gather an angry mob. Now come on!

I’m guessing that if you merely want to unvote, you could post in blue that you are voting for no one. I don’ think that voting against something has any game effect, so any color changing that you do is purely decorative.

Nonsense. Nobody doesn’t like bacon. If anything, she’s further implicated herself. Lynch her! Lynch her! Lynch her!

I’m a vegetarian and I still like bacon. I just don’t eat it. Vegetarian werewolf would be quite a thing, eh? “Oh my god, just look what that monster did to Farmer Johnson’s carrot patch! There are scraps of dismembered tomato guts everywhere! I think I’m going to be sick! Damn that beast’s craving for the hot V-8 juices!”

The different colors are to help prevent our esteemed GM from having to backtrack too much. If I vote for Og, then 20 posts later vote for the Invisible Pink Unicorn instead, then 30 posts after that vote for nobody, it can get confusing.

Blood? Are you crazy? That’s ketchup - the pocket protector comes part and parcel with a complete lack of social graces (like, say, using napkins). I’ve got no time for nocturnal killings - there’s no utility in it and it’s an inefficient way to spend my limited resources. And if you’re going to go with the nerdy engineer stereotype (which I guess I’ve brought on myself), you can go all the way - I’m a guy.
Still, I harbor no ill will towards Cookies for her(?) incredibly short-sighted and offensive accusation. I’m going to have to cast my vote for Menocchio. I mean, he (she?) claims to have been “raised by wolves.” Since we’re just shooting blind, that seems like a pretty decent way to start.

I have to agree with Winston. If someone doesn’t like bacon, that’s just plan unnatural. I’ve gotta put in a vote for jsgoddess. sadly waves goodbye to the chicken salad
