I nominate F7, the 3-4.

Don't split the vote! Change your vote to my 3-4!

Or maybe you don't really want 3-4 but just want to be seen as wanting 3-4?

I can say for certain that one of those two options is true.

Let the games begin.

For my nomination, I'll say 5-4.

This is kind of like a logic puzzle.

It is now halftime between the Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets. The low digit of Utah's final score will be my x-coordinate; the low digit of Denver's final score will be my y-coordinate. In the event of a 0, I'll go to the next digit to the left.

Denver won by 116 to 102. So my x-ccordinate is 2 and my y-coordinate is 6.

I thereby divulge no information whatsoever about my affiliation.

Unless you're a white player betting on the probability of a random move being bad for the first move is greater than the chances of it being good;)

I'd like to change my vote to the only one no one has thought about. I'd like to pass. (j/k)

Haha, if resign is a valid move it breaks the game...

Except I told everybody how I was going to determine my moves before I knew what color I was. And when I do it for the white move it will be balanced. (It is playoff time: there are basketball games every day for weeks now.)

EDIT: Yes, upon reflection I do seem to have inadvertently chosen a randomness scheme that is more likely than not to generate a bad move. But who cares? Nobody wants to make a really good move anyway.
And as long as I use it for an even number of moves, it cancels itself out. I will be proposing bad moves for both sides.

Aw, that's no fun...

Purely because no-one seems to have picked it yet

Not entirely clear on the rules:

a) I thought we were all supposed to nominate different moves?
b) Are we then having a separate vote as to which is chosen?

I thought we were to nominate a move and then vote on the two with the most nominations.... thats how i play mafia...

I can say for certain that one of those two options is true.

Or both?

He did not say exactly one option is true, so mathematically speaking, this means at least one.

Ah, ok - any reason why 2? And not, for example, 3?
