I get that, but at the same time there was very little going on when I went to sleep. Meh, whatever. I don't think it'll go much further

I think Eloth was referring to this sort of thing, seems fairly innocuous?

Idk what's happening, but avatar signaling is annoying me.

Well, there are three duck avatars. Doesn't seem challenging to pick something different than what someone already is.

Night is timing out while I (and others, probably) will be asleep. So let;s make sure we can get a lynch here.

Not a lot of controversy today. I would be willing to vote Emurlahn for offering the opportunity for signaling (I know you will call it RP, I would argue if it is RP its lame and boring). Or the three ducks, just on the off chance they are signaling eachother.

I'm pretty sure Kaschan was the original duck, so there's that.

These choices are shit, but I haven't found anything better so far.

I know what Eloth was referring to, it just bugs me that he put something totally new out there and then left so we couldn't discuss it. Maybe I'm just getting grumpy in my old age

I know it looks like I'm shooting a lot of ideas down without providing any of my own, but I really don't think there is enough information on the thread to make any lynch useful to town.

Rashan, I will accept your excuse for now...

remove vote

I will be keeping an eye on the thread until I go to bed, so I will vote wherever it seems likely to get a lynch.

Atrahal, it wasn't necessarily because Rashan was a low poster that I was looking at him as scummy. It was the fact that he was around while there was a veritable posting storm, but only said a couple of useless things, then disappeared. Just enough to put himself on the list of posters, so he doesn't get modkilled, but not enough to make any waves, at all, whatsoever. I don't know, it seems like a good way to hide that you're scum. Regardless, you're right, there's not a terribly strong case there, and I admitted it myself. Truth be told though, I felt it was a better case than what people have on Emurlahn.

True, there was a lot of posting going on, but I wouldn't say that any of it was useful. I would think scum are just as likely to be RP-ing a lot, there is not much chance that they are going to give anything away, and it is a good way to get the post count up. And on one has really made any waves at all so far, there has been a lot of RP but no arguments, no solid cases and very few accusations.

In saying that, if your intent was to encurage low posters to post more, it seems to have worksd

[Telas]

I'm back for a bit.


Liosan, it may have been a weak case, but that's all we can expect from day 1: make weak cases and see how people react.


@Kaschan: When else are we going to hunt for low posters? The game has been running for 24 hours, and everyone was checked in about 12 hours in. Most people were present to at least talk a bit, to put themselves out there. Rashan got voted because, like Liosan explained, he was present at a time of high post volume but didn't contribute much himself beyond checking in. That kind of tactic is good for scum since they can appear to be involved without drawing suspicion (unless we choose to hunt low posters). People who are the forefront of conversations are putting themselves out there; they are explaining their thoughts, so if they are scum it is more probable they will slip. If we let town get away with low-posting, it is easy for scum to hide among them.

As a result, I don't mind lynching low-posters if we need a lynch and have nothing controversial. Lynching low-posters might be a better strategy later in the game, but by that point we also have cases with genuine evidence to consider.

[Tellan]

We all no that low posting is an unfortunate evil that we can't get rid of.I have no problem lynching someone who doesn't seem like they would contribute much today, if only to remove the danger of having little to sift through in a player in late game and to discourage others (I know it's a style, i know some people are busy, don't spout off at me. It still hurts town a bit.).

[Rashan]

I don't want to belabour the point or anything, but in the two hours I was on, there where 8 posts, including my own two. It's a bit disingenuous to say that it was a period of 'high posting volume'. You made a case on a low poster and said low poster stopped low posting. That's fine, but don't make it more than it is.

I'm not sold on anything either, and nothing is sticking out to me terribly, other than Eloth's lack of explanation for his vote and Emur's behaviour, neither of which are terribly strong points.

[Telas]

Rashan: My bad. I thought you were around a couple hours later when it really picked up.

[Liosan]

So what are we gonna do then? It looks like our only viable option at this point is Emurlahn.

[Tellan]

Rashan is viable as well, I;m around to switch for a few. I prefer emur of the two, though. I really dont have any particular strong feelings at all, though

I think the usual time is Day 2 or 3 when trends have begun to develop as to who is not participating and when there are no strong cases to be utilized. It seems like the game just started to me because of time zones, I guess. I won't argue w tih you about the need to post.

[Liosan]

Without my vote Rashan is at L1 though, whereas Emur is at L3. It'd be easier to ensure a lynch on Emur then it would be to try to swing enough people to Rashan, specially with the clock ticking away. I think we're like 4 hours away from end of Day.

[Kaschan]

I'm about to go to bed, so I'm going to leave a vote.

The case on Emurlahn, while weak, is plausible enough to be better than nothing. I am not going to withhold a vote, because I believe that we need to lynch. I have heard no arguments for letting day time out, nor do I expect that there will be any.

Vote Emurlahn

[Tellan]

Alright, well my vote is already there, so I suppose I'll just keep it.

[Tellan]

And I'm getting sleepy, so I'll see ya'll tomorrow I suppose.

[Rashan]

Vote Emur


it's weak, but it's day one, we need a lynch and he's more plausibly scum than myself.

[Sorrit]

Just so its clear, we're choosing Emurlahn because he annoyed people with the foreign language, correct? That's really all I see. I didn't see much in the way of signalling. I'll jump on board with the same Day 1 trepidation per usual, as it really is just a shot in the dark. Unless something better pops up, or another case is made, or Unless Emurlahn provides some stellar defense -


vote Emurlahn

[Sorrit]

"Mirror mirror on the wall, lead us to a scum's downfall." Now that we've taken care of todays business, who's up for a little play-time? All work and no play makes this gal very unhappy, indeed.

It's such a beautiful ball, who wants to dance? Make sure to hold me close, so I may whisper sweet nothings in your ear.

[Sheltatha Lore]

Emu really strikes me as more of a symp than anyone. foreign language RP has (traditionally) always caused shitstorms on Day 1, I don't see a full-fledged scum opening that can of worms upon themselves.

[Liosan]

Well, i'm going to bed, day is going to time out while I'm sleeping, so

vote Emurlahn

G'night you princess bitches!

I have to agree with you, Shel, but do you think there's a better choice, or is it mostly because you just feel Emurlahn is innocent? I have to say I feel Emulahn is more likely innocent than not, and I may get the 'why did you vote for someone you think might be innocent' drill, but we do really need to lynch SOMEONE. Emurlahn just has the most votes, and he/she could just as likely be scum as town, the same as everyone else at the moment.
