Woo! New game and I'm excited already Inquisitors seem to have the shortest lifespans in the plots for these things...

Vote: BishopGore He's been pretty much a beacon of light in the other games, and he seems to be glowing less than I remember

Oooh, and I'm just going to point out that I'm pretty sure the bad guy : good guy ratio is a lot higer than normal, so even a random first day vote has a better than normal chance of hitting scum. Good to have some clue who we're going after rather than targetting mathmeticians though...

To the no-lynchers: Not lynching anyone on the first day is a bad plan. Last game I was in, the scum players simply killed the player with the lowest vote count on the first night, giving practically no info about themselves. Stringing someone up on the first night has quite a high chance of hitting an innocent, but if they're town, they usually turn out to be a distracting player that would have been a hindrance later on anyway. Getting people to vote can give us at least a clue to who is scummiest, and force people to explain their actions. It's what ends the RVP! It's brutal, but a neccessary sacrifice.

Just how the game is played! >

I'm going to follow that up with an addendum that stringing me up on the first day would be bad for everyone involved and I wouldn't recommend it at all

Oooh, and UNVOTE: BISHOP cause it was a silly vote anyway and he didn't react by flailing around with 9 pointed throwing stars and glorying the forces of chaos. Damn.

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!)
