Wow, 19 of us and 18 have voted, and 8 agree on some people. Maybe it's time for the rest of us to figure out who we should concentrate on or we're in for a long day one.

Amb voted, then cancelled it. I wonder why?

[Amb]

I was going to vote for the first person to post without voting. I thought that was referee until I discovered Ref had an earlier post with a vote. SO I undid it. I havent looked since then.

[Sefer]

The only person besides you who hasn't voted is Fuldu, and he hasn't posted yet. You'd better hope he doesn't vote somone, or you may have to choose a different method for picking who gets your vote

Even for a game this size, a four person bandwagon is unusual in the random voting phase. Livingod actually says that his vote is for a reason (an obviously facetious reason, but not determined by dice, anyway). I'm inclined to say he's trying to get something started there.

vote: Livingod

My only problem with a livingod bandwagon is that he always seems to get day 1 attention, and this allows the trickier players to stay under the radar where they prefer to be. Example = Fuldu. I can never tell when he is scum and its made harder when he doesnt need to post. This makes analysis harder later on. If Livingod is scum, he will out himself (No offense LG, but you will )

[pete d]

[Fuldu]

[Livingod]

Out myself, eh? Maybe a metagame strategy?

If you're trying to convince us that the only way we're going to find out whether you're scum before the end of the game is to lynch you, you might want to reconsider your metagaming strategies.

[Talzor]

Unvote Livingod. I've never really liked the day 1 random vote tradition. It seems a little pointless.
Of cource without it I probably wouldn't do a vote Amb right now.

[Amb]

...What a manateedious vote...

[MatthewV]

unvote TGC, vote Amb
This puts him at 6.

While it is a shame to have the creative mind of Amb on the speedboat ramp, someone needs to throw a little story to out there.

Well, do you want to talk? Whose side are you on?

[Quailman]

I voted for Talzor because he placed the second vote in the game and followed suit with the first vote. Now he's the fifth vote on Amb's bandwagon, so i think I'll stick with him.

[worm]

good point, q. talzor's posts rate with bearty's. vote livingod 'cause he's an easy target. then when the opportunity to get amb opens up, he pounces.

Fos talzor

[pete d]

unvote, vote: Beartalon

Vote Count:
Amb - 7 - (Sefer, Chuck, Tseirp, Livingod, Talzor, MatthewV, Beartalon)

Beartalon - 3 - (The Great Crep'er, worm, pete d)

Middle Aged Guy - 2 - (Dented Ford, jesus_saves)
Talzor - 2 - (Quailman, Amb)

Dented Ford - 1 - (Middle Aged Guy)
Fuldu - 1 - (groza528)
jesus_saves - 1 - (referee)
Livingod - 1 - (Fuldu)
pete d - 1 - (zorT Kitty)

[Sefer]

I agree that Talzor's opportunism is more worth a vote that Amb's opening gambit. I'm more than a little disturbed that we reached 7 votes on someone on page two, particularly since the last 3 votes didn't give any more reason than he had the most votes on him. Take it from someone who was in Homer Mafia, speedlynching Amb day 1 does the town no good.

Unvote, vote: Talzor

[Amb]

Eight isnt anywhere near to ten?!? I think at eight, I would be getting claim demands from people.

[Talzor]

[Amb]

... So are you saying being 2 from lynch isnt close to being lynched ...

[Talzor]

On a early day 1 wagon. Yes, thats what I'm saying, no sane townies would ever provide the last votes.

[Fuldu]

[Fuldu]

Or, rather, unvote: Livingod; vote: Talzor.

I am content with my Amb vote. He has nicely relieved some pressure with the Talzor target. I still think we need to hear something useful from Amb.

[Amb]

Its page two on day one. You join a mindless bandwagon against me, and then expect me to conjure up brilliance to save myself? Anything I say in offense to save myself, will be contrived, and worse - seen in that fashion too - which discounts the possiblity I might be on the right track...

[MatthewV]

Right. And because you are doing something different, you must be scum. Most normal games lynch a townsman on day one! (Folks, we have our scum in a bag here, and if not, we are in a normal game!)

[Amb]

Most normal games attempt to catch mafia, not just kill some at random before the end of page two...

[Amb]

some=someone

But would you always play offensively, attacking other people? You seem to ignore the option of defending yourself, while not lurking and attacking others.
