I worded that wrong. Coasting won the game for mafia in the first game I was in (called "Assassins in the Palace," hosted in the BRoom and thus not readable by anyone not in the BRoom), and in a somewhat related story, if you want to see how coasting can win the game for mafia, you can check it out by reading Left4Scum here in DGames.
Also, sure Mayling
Propose: Mayling
Hell, we already have an illegitimate child together (here's looking at you, McMaymays), might as well make it official.
SSBF, I was hoping one of the newer players would take the initiative to do exactly that, but I think people are
so new that they aren't entirely sure how. So in an(other) attempt to get the ball rolling, I'll reread the thread and post my findings.
However! This only one way to play. For the other end of the spectrum, see KevinM's play.
I realize that might sound sarcastic over the internet, but I'm not being sarcastic at all. Kev's playstyle is highly effective, and he rarely takes the time to make long posts filled with detail. I point this out to say that you don't have to copy what I'm about to do here to be an effective player, nor do you have to go the other way and do what Kev's doing. Just find out what works for you and head in that direction.
Now then...

Vote TWILTHERO
It's always TWILT.
Out of context, this sounds like you were in another game with TWILT where he was scum. If he was, did he win or lose the game? Has how TWILT has been acting in this game align with or is it different from how he played the last game? If you aren't sure, please reread TWILT's posts so far (there haven't been that many) and give me your impressions.
Now then, I put the following three posts in order. They are RocketPSIence's first three posts of the topic.
Rocket said:
Clown, what do you hope to accomplish on the first day by immediately voting for someone?
Why would you let an IC take it. I wanted you to defend your position, but you only linked me to a webpage.
Vote: Steel
You better not **** up as our ****ing ** you ****.
Wait wha? By saying "defend your position" you imply that you have a differing position. And yet in your very next post you vote steel for no reason (almost) immediately on D1. What changed between when you asked Clown why he did it and you doing the very same thing?

Vote: Clownbot
Not much to go on, but he DID voted for me as soon as the game started..(Plus, i hate clowns).
Textbook OMGUS*, but I'm inclined to believe this is a n00btell rather than a scumtell for now.
*OMGUS - Oh My God U Suck = this is voting for someone just because they voted for you.
Guus said:
What could you possibly gain with claiming roles? Do you expect mafia/werewolves to claim that they are?
While like I said, a massclaim isn't actually good for this game right now, you seem to be implying here that a massclaim could
never be beneficial, because scum won't claim that they're scum. But like Tom explained, if both werewolves are gone, and we do a massclaim then, then we will have two cleared townies which we know not to lynch (assuming our two monks haven't already died or whatever). Claiming can be beneficial in some cases.

Unvote vote: Frown
Nothing really to go by so far, so I'm trying to help this end quickly... and to get my obligatory 48 hour post :$
Anti-town post. Doubly so. First, if nothing's going on, it's your job as town (if you are town) to
make something happen. You have plenty of options; for instance, there's a list of names in the OP of this thread. Pick one at random (that isn't you, obviously) and start pushing a case on them. This will spur activity (at least on
their part, and hopefully on the part of others) and help move the game forward.
On the other hand, if you are scum, you'd want Day phase to end quickly. Discussion and voting are town's best weapons, and shorter Days means less time to use those effectively.
Guus said:
My god, at least lynch someone useless,
Who would you categorize as "useless" right now?
Okay, so that was a short reread. I'm feeling Wizzerd, Rocket, and TWILT currently. TWILT for apparently checking the topic when an easy question was lobbed to the town and not even taking a swing at it. In fact, his only post following that question was
TWILT said:
Meh...my vote earlier was kind of a joke so...
Unvote
Ignores it completely, could be skimming, another scumtell. (Skimming is a scumtell because scum don't have to pay as much attention to the thread as townies. Since they already know who they are, as long as they don't see someone pushing for their lynch, it isn't AS important for them to pay attention the to thread. I'm generalizing here, and there are times where townies skim too, but overall scum tends to skim more than town, since they already
have the information that the town is searching for.)
Wizzerd for making the most blatantly anti-town post of the game so far.
And Rocket for his using the same tactic he had immediately prior chastized Clown for using.
I'm leaving my vote on TWILT for now.
Also, Tom needs to post moar.
