Here are your rules, stolen with slight alterations from Silvanus who stole them from Sylandra who may or may not have stolen them from someone else.
The Rules:
1. Votes MUST be in bold to count, and they're only valid if you call them makeovers. (ex. Makeover Portius)
2. Once a majority has been reached, the day ends. Anything that happens after a final vote will not happen, including unvotes to bring the target below the minimum threshold, unless a power explicitly allows this.
3. You are not allowed to post in the thread during the night phases.
4. You are not allowed to communicate with each other outside the thread unless your role specifically allows you to do this.
5. Once you are eliminated, you are not allowed to post in the thread during the day phase unless your role explicitly allows this.
6. You are not allowed to quote your role PM.
7. Do not discuss game details outside of the game.
8. If you go inactive, please let me know so I can find a replacement player. (Those interested in being a replacement player, please message me for a waitlist!)
9. You're not allowed to edit your posts. Doublepost instead if you want to clarify something.
10. You must be sportsmanlike. If you are rude or inflammatory to the point that the game ceases to be enjoyable for the rest of the players, I reserve the right to modvig you out of the game. Mafia may be a game about emotional manipulation and deceit, but it's still a game! Have fun with it. But most importantly, be respectful.
11. The game will
end when either the town or the mafia have reached their victory
condition.
12. Dayphases will last no longer than 72 hours. If
three days go by without a lynch, the Nightphase will immediately
begin.
13. Nightphases will last no longer than 24 hours. If
night actions are not delivered at the end of the night phase, it
will be read as no action.

Hello, yes. I heard there was cake?
Personally, I was burned pretty bad the last time I pushed for a day 1 lynch in a small game, so I’m on the fence here.
Pros: I think a lynch gives us information and would likely expose at least one mafia member on a vote train. Also in a smaller game the odds of offing a mafia day 1 are significantly higher.
Cons: In a game this small, however, a mislynch could also fast forward us to MyLo or LyLo sooner depending on the setup. The odds of mislynch still remain higher than the odds of a successful mafia lynch, given that day 1 lynches are essentially random.
Alternatively, a no lynch is basically a “wait and see” instead of a proactive method of getting information. It doesn’t give anyone any context as to how they go about their night actions, making night 1 more of a crapshoot.
Am I missing anything here? Thoughts?
If we pick the right one we'll be 4-1 tomorrow. If wrong we could be 3-2. If we don't do a makeover we could be 4-2.
Whilst I love a good makeover, without information we probably have a 2 in 3 chance of getting it wrong.
This may actually be the best mafia game flavor of all time.
I for one demand prompt delivery of adorable animal pictures from our silent player.
As for the first, I don't think we should necessarily commit firmly to a makeover or no makeover at the moment. The discussion is more valuable than the result, and we only have the discussion if makeovers are least on the table.
Yes checking in here.
For a smaller game like this I'm wary of doing the day one lynchmakeover. If the teams are at 6-2, mistake today could put us on MyLo tomorrow.
It's probably still 2 under-attractive animals, I'd say. With maybe an extra oddball.
MAKEOVER NO ONE
We'll start beautifying animals tomorrow.
