I posted the comment and switched to another tab, my computer is so fethed up, even though it seemed to post it It stayed on the thread, I was using quick reply, so I clicked it again like half an hour later when I went back on Dakka and we have a double post.

((Ah, it is the one after Stynier's post...))

((Thanks to Bishop for the advice about word!))

The way I look at it, this is a difficult game for me to start. There are not just two teams, there are 3 teams. The good, the bad, and the evil. I'm trying to find patterns of people who are sticking with each other and trying to group them. That's what I'm doing and I guess that that's not a good idea.

Now, I did not bandwagon scott without reason. Because I was looking for a pattern and because scott was new, I thought that he had made a mistake. According to everyone else, they were not working together and in fact I think scott will be vote free for at least a couple of days now simply because of this.

Although to put it simply and in pure logic, he voted for me first.

I always surmised that the first vote is usually an evil one, if only to cast dispersions on someone and set them up later. Now, my being new and uninformed about how this game is run, at this point I can only keep my eyes open as to who might slip up.

So, I'm still eyeing Scott. I'm not tryna be mean or noobish, but I feel the first vote has something to say. Don't know what it was that was said, but it said something.

Without looking back the 1st person to vote was Drk_O not me.

And I can certainly guarantee that I am definately not evil

Well I just got a replacement for Ultra.

With 17 alive 9 are required to lynch. Yet if this day phase were to run out of time the target with the most votes would go. That would be a no lynch at the moment.

It's Thursday now leaving 11 days including today.

Bishop's joke votes (not sure if he's still voting for halo, but I'm going to say he isn't until he does again )

Unvote: BishopGore

I'm going to try something alittle different.

Paul and Lan, you're both voting for no lynch.

I'm going to vote for one of you.

So, explain why I shouldn't vote for you, and explain why you continue to vote no lynch.

The first player to get voted off in the (only) other game I played was Shas'o, mainly because he bandwagoned at the start and couldn't explain it. He flipped innocent, and I felt pretty bad for voting for him. I think new players have a tendency to bandwagon vote until it's explained why it's a bad idea.

Halo has been pretty twitchy, but it's easy to chalk that up to getting attacked. Personally, I'm interested in those still voting 'no lynch'. You know you can change your vote at any time, right? Voting 'no lynch' seems to kind of a bland move, that some might use to try to avoid being read...

(OOC: Also, I'm away for a few days starting tomorrow afternoon, so this might be my last post for a few days. I'll try to get something in tomorrow though!)

I'm yet to see a game where speaking during this first day has produced anything but death.

Drk_O, so are you voting for me or not?

Currently voting no lynch earlier was a mistake that wont be made again. But I will keep that status until I have anything less vague to go by. Consider it a... Pending vote.

Hi guys, think I've finally got the gist of what's happening. Going to come out as blandly as possible with my thoughts so far:

BishopGore seems to be different as DRK said, but so does DRK, actually forming coherent thoughts and driving conversation as opposed to his normal method (supposedly) of distraction. For the moment, however, I think both of them are relatively good for driving forward the conversation and we definitely do not want the conversation to stagnate on the first day.

Paul Atreides: Drk is debating whether to vote for you or IGLannister, and just wants you to explain yourself in your no lynch vote. Personally, I think it was an honest mistake, and quite a few people will often make that mistake in their first few mafia games.

Other than that, no really strong feelings. I'm wondering where the missing people are, because I think there's a good change they're just bored townies.

I'm going to have to go with Vote: IGLannister until he explains his vote to not lynch. Either he is deeply entrenched in his beliefs, or he's not paying very much attention to the game. Either way, he's not benefiting town.

I agree with dark O. A vote for no lynch is bad unless you have an interesting standoff situation like last game.

To motivate you a bit Vote:IGLannister

If you have any querys as to what I've said, re read what I said.

I'm much too lazy to repeat myself, or copy-paste what I said for that matter

I am very deeply entrenched in my beliefs, thank you for noticing. As to my no lynch vote, I'm not one to randomly cast a vote just because it makes me look suspicious if I don't. I don't like my votes being wasted, especially if there's a possibility it might be the end of the road for an innocent.

So. If voting for me is the vogue thing to do, go ahead. I'm not changing my vote until I at least have a strong feeling that someone is chaos/cultist.

In my opinion, randomly voting out a name is a sign of chaos. So to dark O and Ginger, ID watch out. Your logic is flawed, and as such, your arguments hold no water. I've stated in posts before this that I don't toss a vote just because everyone else is. I like precision, not random blind herding.

You could just not vote instead of voting no lynch, your vote doesn't dispear if you don't use it.

What LL said if you don't feel safe voting simply don't vote. I fail to see how random voting on the first day is a sign of Chaos, having played many variations of this game over the past few months I believe random day one voting is the way to go, as we don't have anything else to go off of on the first day. There will be NO PRECISION on the first day, this is when we all make our first moves before setting deeper into the game, it is very unlikely that you will win or lose the game based off of the first day, it just doesn't happen. You lose in the coming days.

Ok. I see your point there.

unvote no_lynch

vote no_vote

You don't need to put no vote. Just unvote.

Drk_Oblitr8r wrote:And I can certainly guarantee that I am definately not evil

So maybe you are bad?

Actually, you seem to be posting a lot less than you have done in other games. Care to explain that?

VikingScott wrote:You don't need to put no vote. Just unvote.

I think he's voting for his vote to be taken away.

VOTE: NO VOTE FOR IGLANNISTER

The first vote isn't bad but the first vote outside the RVS which is bandwagoning or voting off fluff? Zing! That's bad. But then it should be treated the same as all bandwagoging is and all fluff votes are.

Or unvote. Yeah, unvote prolly sounds better. My nooblet status bleeds through every now and again, but I think I've held it together pretty well.

Gee being paranoid while playing this really isn't good.

I'm not sure who to trust. But i do have my suspicions. Which are really just based on feelings. . . : (

Then voice those opinions. If you want to help town (or I guess, appear to be helping, depending on your role), then tell us who you think is... bad (definitely think i could've found a better word there)

I'm not sure really, I've been on Dakka more frequently than normal. I think I've been focusing on the Zombie RP alot more.

Keep thinking that



I'm going to use a countdown. I'll explain my decision then. Tick! Tock! Tock!

It is really hard to come up with an attack this early that cannot be easily countered...

Those countdowns are so cool!
