I've never read the books. Didn't know they existed until this game. Tiamatha sounded more than a bit silly to me, but large numbers of folk were willing to let it ride.
I sent two separate PMs. One vote fury <furyname>. One vote action <action category name>.
3 minutes later I received a reply from PS. It had both my votes in quotes. The reply was two words whose semantic value is essentially 'yeah whatever'.
Yesterday when I asked if 'yeah so' was too close to quoting the PM, I was given a generic answer. I replied with a mild obscenity and said I'm asking because this is a spirit of the law vs letter of the law. I have yet to receive a reply to that. So I'm going with the letter.
"I want Tiam to answer this question..." and "I want to hear from Rashan". Both sound dubious to me at best. Why kill the puppet when you can kill the puppeteer? The problem is I don't have a clue who the puppeteer is although Fener looks good for it. But for now, I'm on the lynch Tiam side. In the long run though, killing spawns will cost us the game. Yes, I am assuming they are Vord.
Vote Tiam

Oh FFS. Venge responded to my PM, replied quoting my vote orders with Noted. He didn't respond to my movement orders that were the next post in my PM. So Venge, if you fucked up, please sort these dickwads out with the correct info as to what you were responding to as I give up.
In other news, I'm several drinks through the day, don't expect any coherence from me.

Yeah, I got the same luke-warm PS response to my vote.
Nimander, why would you prefer a Tiam vote if you think Fener is pulling the strings?

Because it is a rather weak symp-ish case. One that I'm not entirely confident of. Lynching Tiam provides more factual information from Tiam's CF to reinforce or dispel the case.
Then why even bring it up today? Gives any finders or guards out there a good choice of target for tonight.

This is what I was trying to say earlier when I said PS had 'noted' my tiam-vote-thingy. It wasn't the typical PS noted message.
And I agree with basically what everyone has been saying in the last ten posts or so, and a CF for once would be nice. :|

Korbas. I never liked cheerleaders. If wasting time was Tiamatha's goal then lynching today is wasting more time. I'm fine with lynching her unless somebody can make a good case for a puppeteer.
But your rah rah style, 'revealing' your faction, and doing a fine job of leading the thread where you want them feels just like what she was doing.

How do you find that being the 6th vote or something on a train is leading the thread?
Day one Fener got pressure for that "keeper" comment. Day two Tiam is spawned and Fener talks to him like an old buddy. It looked believable, I've never read the books. So I went with the flow, just like many others. Now day 3 and we have Rashan, so that whole thing yesterday was pure bullshit.
I am only half willing to vote Fener because he could turn out to be Octavian. I am one alt among 20 or so with no real information. We know one team are talking off thread, the ones with the communication, we know one team are doing actions off thread, we know almost nothing of the Vord. To be fair I'm fucking bored with this game so far. Nothing seems to be happening, most people are not really making an effort on thread, maybe cause they have cool abilities or are doing all their talking off thread, or have multiple alts to manage and find that staying/laying low is the way forward.
I don't know and I don't really care at the moment. So here is what I know, Nimander is not Octavian, because Octavian attacked Nimander night one, so he may have spotted something in Nimander that made him think Vord. I have an ability that reduces Great fury counters but I can only use it once every 3 dawns. I have another ability that adds fortifications to each tile that holds a First Aleran Player. Octavian attacked me last night. That's about it, I think I could be a powerful player, I have a very high HP, good movement, good attack power, but my furies are locked at the moment. The Vord need to have 3 tiles infested before I become even more powerful than I currently am.
I just want to a see a CF.

There's been a lack of info at least partly because we've had zero CFs so far. That will surely change this week. And I kind of disagree with your people not making an effort on thread statement. There's a ton of us here, and in large games it's difficult for everyone to make a big impact, as quite often you just end up repeating something that's already been said if you're late arriving to the discussion. I think the contributions have been generally good, considering the little we've had to work with thus far (at least from my viewpoint anyway).
But what I want to know is - what's with all this revealing under no pressure? Just because you're feeling bored? Don't you think that kind of thing could hurt your team down the line? If you're telling the truth, way to make yourself a target for the Vord.
