huh, a lot of random votes already. I'm curious to see how this will develop.
A lot of people seem not to worry about who they hit I guess. The RI faction struggles at this point as it's sort of hard to decide which faction to hunt for before one can be certain there's no chance of ending up on that team.

Your sentence structure seems to indicate you're not a part of what you call the 'RI Faction'. That makes you a good voting target.
Vote Sorrit.
My sentence structure indicates that I prefer not to reveal which of the three factions I'm in.
Your sentence structure indicates you are not town, which is the chosen shield everyone hides behind in a game like this, unless they slip up. If you were town, there would be no reason to disguise that, anyway: it would make lynching you a complete and utter non-priority. I think I struck a non-RI faction and I don't give a shit which one you are, since it does not matter which one you are, anyway.
i agree here.
No need to be cryptic.
although....there are a few people here that are claiming to be town that are laying it on a bit thick aswell....maybe a bit too thick.if you catch my drift.
edit - messed up sentence structure
This will prove an interesting situation, considering that there is actually debate over whether or not to lynch Sorrit, how fast everyone jumped on him, and some of the odd comments from those on or not on the quickly growing lynch train. First of all, calling the townies "the RI faction" is very ambiguous. He could be a townie who is taking a more bird's eye, detached view of the game, not demonstrating a side by remaining neutral in describing the townies. This attempted neutrality might have been wise, considering Tennes' observation about "piling on" Sorrit despite three votes already settled on Anomandaris; however the wording apparently wasn't neutral enough for some people.
On the other hand, Shadow does have a point that it is odd to distance oneself from the townies on day one when the townies are still neutral. Moreover, as long as they are on the lynch trains, townies will always be a safe bet for strength in numbers (townies outnumber the Family and FBI currently, and when joining with one of these two groups, the townies will still be on the side with dominant numbers).
At this point, I think it behooves us to lynch Sorrit, if not for the sake of probing his odd wording, but more for probing the people who jumped on (and in one case back off again) his train. It is unlikely that the 2 people who know 5 other players' identities in this game (the Don and Head Prosecutor) spoke up in this exchange, however that doesn't mean it isn't possible. It is already a crucial point in the game, with the loyalty of almost half the players at stake, so stepping out and directing/assisting a lynch may be favorable. Thus, I think that anyone sticking their necks out for or against Sorrit require further investigation.

"He said town instead of us" reasoning has always been weak. Didn't really bother me much because I already thought day one would be pretty arbitrary and I figured it was people using whatever justification to join a train so they got to be on it and so it wasn't them lynched.
Looking at the votes it looks a bit more like a de-rail. If the reasoning behind the votes was what I had thought it was, it seems odd for a pile-up on sorrit when there are already 3 votes on someone else.

The two most suspicious people in my mind currently are Shadow and Tennes. Shadow goes the extra mile in building a case against Sorrit, which does two things for us: it gives us a lot of text to sift through and gives us a claimed orientation, namely town since he says he doesn't care who he lynches, FBI or Family. Tennes, quoted immediately above, votes for Sorrit and then withdraws his vote without placing another vote even though he thinks it odd that the Anomadaris train hasn't grown (especially when he speculates that the sorrit votes may have been a derailment). He does have a good point that the sudden train on Sorrit is odd, and that those who jumped on the train are also suspicious (namely Shadow, Korlat, Tulas Shorn, Telas, Tennes), but on the other hand, along his line of reasoning, the derailment would either be by the hand of the Don or Head Prosector (the only two who would know enough people to try rescuing one of their own) or as I mentioned as a possibility earlier, the Don or Head Prosecutor redirecting to a more viable target. Again, either scenario would be exceptionally risky and must be balanced against the desire to keep low and out of the way (a natural leader tendency).
So, we have a good little clump of suspects now. If Sorrit is Family or FBI, we have more people to examine. If Sorrit is townie, we may wish to consider the derailment idea, which adds Anomadaris to the list of suspicious players.
Let's get this lynch finished to see if Sorrit was Family, FBI, or Town, and then let the speculation begin in earnest.
