OK, it's looking like I'm not going to be around for the day end insanity.
I don't particularly want to vote for a new player. not because it's a dick move (even though it kind of is) but just because I haven't really read enough by them to convince me they are worth looking at. Hopefully in the next day phase we'll get some more substantial contributions from them and it would be good if Vanguard came in to acknowledge the thread soon.
I really don't enjoy Kristoffers scattershot approach but it's something I'm willing to let slide on Day 1 while a lot of people are trying different things to provoke reactions. If he doesn't settle down in the coming days it's the type of thing that I feel becomes a hindrance to the town as it obscures motivations. The same goes for Seaths style.
Haly is a bit stranger, I don't feel his posts are designed to get reactions from people instead he just seems keen to post. A lot. It could be a bold scummy play, but I'm not really feeling it. He has eyes on him now and I'd rather not lynch him today.
Out of the front runners freakinchair was the only one I had a negative gut reaction towards since I didn't like his initial interplay with Seath/Ri'Orious. Purely based on my initial reaction, out of the 3 frontrunners I think he's the best option.
A couple of other things that gave me strong initial negative reactions:
I do understand issues with language but this is a game entirely based around talking, I don't like the fact that this post is setting the stage for limited interactions. I'm OK with being quiet on day one since theres not much to go on, but I don't like the way this is being set up.
Magnum seems to pop up and ask a few innocuous questions seemingly to stir up conversation but really didn't contribute anything further himself. Something about it just felt a little bit forced to me. Like he was trying a bit to hard to seem neutral/complient, thats maybe a little bit awkwardly explained but it just felt off to me and that feeling has stuck.

I could easily fanfiction to say that you could easily reckon that if you were blendy you'd be caught sooner so trying a different tactic would carry you a bit further in the game and give you 'disgruntled D1 town' pts later, but that's complete speculation and it's not actual lynch-worthy logic even by tragic D1 standards
I haven't liked your bitching and moaning about D1 and I've found it unhelpful, but going in on someone because you don't like their attitude is equally not actually smart play
at least you seem to have woken up now, which I suppose is all I could have hoped for
consider me dismissed (for now), this has zero chance of going anywhere
UNVOTE
idk, I thought getting Zipped's opinion would be more interesting, precisely because I got the sense that everyone was focusing on Kristoffer, and I thought a vote would be a good attention grabber. I think Zipped made at least one or two posts lobbying for a Hobohodo lynch and I wanted to check why he felt so passionate about it, other people were already talking to Kristoffer and Kristoffer was generally more active so I didn't see the point in just focusing in on just him so early when there was another voter knocking about. Zipped and Kristoffer had suddenly become best mates and I found both their behaviour weird.
This is a mess and I really don't understand this concerted effort to get freakinchair lynched that's coming from all sides. He's said some dumb stuff but the amount of fervor going into it from kris, from ri'orius, it just doesn't make sense. I'm not convinced we can afford to let kris have his way in this game ever, he's struck me as some sort of neutral role so far in this game and playing into his agenda is likely bad for town.
Palmer said that if he was scum he'd play better, and then he kinda sorta hinted that he might be a Town PR. I dunno palmer.
Vote: Ri'orius

Strange how we could be close to a Freakinchair lynch with zero resistance from any quarter, even he himself seems to have never really acknowledged himself as a high-probability lynch candidate or tried a defence or anything that sticks out in my mind

It'll stop after today if I miraculously survive today's mob. I just wanted to go for some Day One reactions, but obviously after I settled on Freakinchair over a day ago I've been pretty consistent.
I appreciate the sentiment about chair. I also respect your vote on magnum but we are getting very close to lynch time and I think we should coalesce around a couple of candidates. If you feel the way you do about chair, maybe you should change your vote to him?
... I just don't want to die. Not today! I've contributed so much. :'(

Their only real defense amount to scum wouldnt do that on day one.
He came in sounding pretty exhausted last page, or trying to appear so. I think he'll show up again in the final hour at least.

Idk, maybe you settled on Freak due to your hobo thing not gettin enuff traction?
Can I get a list of what you have contributed?
Also, have you had your morning coffee yet?

Ezekel, I have not. I've been watching the news.
Can we stop voting for Haly, please? It's getting old.

To start
vote: Kristoffer
During my reread of the thread I went back and forth on this. His accusations have felt haphazard and his arguments have been thin and few. I've seen the argument raised that he's just town probing for reactions but I honestly don't buy it. If anything he feels like a scum trying to be so over the top that people will just wait and see, even his last post is making the promise that he'll pivot away from the random as the game progresses.
Among our other vote leaders I don't see the argument against chair. Haly's play has been uneven but I'm not feeling a lynch there either. Ri'orious's post where he no lynches followed by a vote on weemad doesn't sit very well to me, nor does his jumping on the chair train.

If he's town, that makes perfect sense. I happen to read him as leaning town.
I'd still like to here something from chair about the 'everyone jumping on seath' post that he made. I'd take it as misremembering something if it wasn't for him telling me to go have a re-read. But the re-read just backed up what I'd originally said.
Chair has posted since, so I'd just like to here something.
(I hope the URL tags worked...)

Did he? I thought he just refused to make a real vote.

Yeah I'm going to go with Spectre:
You might be confused, by top targets I meant Kris and Freakinchair, I think you and Ri'orius are good targets.
So what you're saying is you want to throw your vote away and let other players control the vote onto another target.
You're right, I remembered wrong. I was referring to this post btw:
No, I'm not confused at all. I'm wondering how you go from "we can't let kris have his way!" to "I don't think either should be lynched". I know why you're voting for me because it creates a 3rd viable candidate but the kris flip flop was a doozy.
I want to avoid interaction with Kris' gameplan at all costs, that involves not killing him and not killing the person he's targeting.
I mean the only thing that stops me from thinking it's a scum defense is that putting yourself at risk on day 1 like this is completely stupid and I would never expect such poor play from you but come on, it's unbelievably egregious!
Anyway I want to lynch kris even more now just to see if there's any substance to these uncomfortable gut feelings.

Why exactly are you so invested in saving Haly? You claimed to contribute a great deal to the day, but I only recall Haly defense and flavor gambiting.
For all we know Kris might be a neutral who is going after a town member so it would be beneficial for us to kill him.
Not killing Kris because it might be a trap, either to Kris' benefit or Chair's....
I don't think this is a run of the mill game but you're reasoning like one-night werewolf player. Is that what you really expect out of this game?

Isn't voting for the person he's protecting still interacting with his plan? And what's so important about Kris's gameplan that you'd back it up?

Re: squidyj That's kind of mean.
Also, the thing is, if you're really reading a "plan" from Kristoffer then lynching a neutral is pretty good for us because neutrals, if not being out right anti-town, are still not necessarily pro-town. Plus, the insight into mechanics a neutral D1 lynch would get us would be invaluable, compared to any other role excepting scum.

I understand why you might feel that way. I didn't post as much as I wanted to this day phase, probably due to the fact that I suck at mafia on day 1. I tend to have trouble getting reads on little to no information. I should hopefully get better and post more as the game progresses.
I personally have no idea who I want to vote for of our frontrunners, so I'll just keep it where it is for now unless a tie occurs.
Who will you vote in the event of a tie?
don't be editing your posts.
I'm saying exactly what I said earlier. We're better off having several candidates so that we're more likely to cause scum to panic. Bandwagons are bad if we want anything useful from this.

Palmer_d1hater is really bad at paying attention, and doesn't contribute at all. But you're saying Palmer_d2 is totally worth keeping you around?
What? Why wouldn't you kill the person he's targeting? They're not necessarily town right?

Depends on who's tied, but from the most likely possibility of tie options probably kris over freakin.
Just a gut reaction for now, but it might change depending on the circumstances of the tie.
that's only if you believe he's protecting haly. I think you're high as fuck.

Seems like a lot of protecting to me.
look it's pretty clear i'm not going to be able to shift the vote away at this time because apparently the electorate is dumb. so lets just shut up and see what the flip is.
If Haly and Kris are on a team together I'll eat multiple articles of my own clothing.
I think I could have my Corgi post for me and still end up more useful than some people.
I see Kristoffer is leading now, instead of freak, so I retract my statement about that being too easy.
Of the top 3, two are voting for other top 3, but freak is not. So he's either not paying attention or is less interested in personal survival(which is not a scum or neutral instinct).
I find Haly more suspicious than Kristoffer, personally.
I claim Nikolai Jakov, KGB B--
Oh wait, that's the wrong game. No, I'm not claiming anything today, regardless of what happens. I give you my guarantee.

I wasn't thinking team, more one way lover. Although the play is very obvious if that's the case. Maybe I can only classify it as "weird".
But I'll still hold you to the bet because it sounds funny.
An Unlyncher? We had it in Star Wars so it's possible.
