This, at least, would be pretty binary. So, I'm a Darkfriend. What questions do I ask myself?

1)Have any other DFs done this? If yes, then post, if no, then continue.

2)Have enough people done this that it seems likely that all will do it, and thus I will not want to stick out? If yes, then post, if no, then go on ahead.

3) So, no other DFs, and in fact almost no people have responded to this yet. Do I think it's unlikely there's a Lie Detector? If yes, then post, if no, then wait and see


At this point, the DF would wait to see if other people started posting.


And I'm really over-complicating this; I think for most people this would be a pretty snap decision, especially once a couple (such as Gher and Scott) already did it.



Looking at the times is a good idea, and one maybe we could use for in the future. In this case, though, I think more important is the ORDER people posted in. If, like you say, the DFs had a wait-and-see attitude until one of them took the plunge, then the first two are probably safe. I'd say F&R, ?, Hobo or myself would be in the best positions for being that "first Darkfriend"


Er, Mafia.


But of course this is all assuming that they were being timid. It's entirely possible that Gher set this up to begin with, taking a minor gamble, or that Scott quickly agreed with Gher so that he'd look more pro-town.



Anyway. Let's just lynch Bergioyn.
