Is anyone at least pinging you as probably town? What do you think of the people who want to no lynch?
I can sympathize with the No-Lynch squad because there is a very high probability of lynching someone who is sided with the Town this early and with little-to-no information I can understand not wanting to be part of the group that might accidentally kill someone important. However simply sitting off to the side-lines practically lets Mafia get the advantage as they a) now have a starting sense on players and b) will be able to kill someone Night 1 of the game while the Town sits with not much else. Plus, especially this early in the game, throwing a vote (or votes) towards someone gets them to talk and make claims/counter-claims. This might not get very far on Day 1 but it does help in the late-game when contradictions can be pointed out and referenced to.
As for your first question I can't really say. I like to Hope ( hehehe ) that at least a few people see me as Town but I can't speak for them. I would like to know why kgtrep was suspicious of me after my first post though.
Interesting. This is the second time you have said you don't feel comfortable voting. I see you've voted for Rest though. Is there anyone else you find suspicious? Who are your top 3 suspect players? It will be fun to look back and see how right/wrong you were lol.
I'm not picking on you, honest (well, kinda...)! You were a fun player in ONUW so I'm just trying to engage you a bit more.
Like I've said before, there's no way of knowing if someone is 100% Despair on this first Day. But I don't think you should be stingy with your vote. We still have 2.5 days to change our minds about who to punish. But it rubs me the wrong way when you say you have suspicious people on your radar and you don't elaborate. Feels like something mafia would do.
VOTE: Sawneeks
ONUW is going to come back and haunt us, isn't it? Where is my Witch-buddy Roy when you need him? :'(
For my top 3 suspect players they are changing and some of them are nothing more than just gut-feelings about certain players. I haven't voted for them as, like you said, we still have 2.5 days worth of talking to comb through before anyone is lynched. And if we are going to start asking more questions I am curious who your top 3 are as well and your thoughts on those who have note voted or are Pro No-Lynch.
KingKitty is now at the top of my list but, as I explain below, I am willing to wait and see where he goes. If he isn't on the chopping block for Day 1 he should definitely be closely looked at for Day 2.
Franconp is my second. He sits in the middle of the post count list but going back and reading everything he has said so far they are either A) side comments and fluff or b) repeats of info and 'me too!' posts about votes and suspicions. I'm not saying Mafia but the lack of commitment and willingness to wait on the sidelines is incredibly passive and can be an easy tactic to hide behind.
Terrabyte/CornBurrito sit at the bottom. Corn has been calling others out on roles and this doesn't help in the slightest, in fact it is incredibly detrimental to the Town. This can easily be a 'newbie mistake' but it can also be a way to get people to accidentally soft claim a role. Terra falls under suspicion because of the Goshujinsama 'misstep' vote but I find it suspicious that when Terra retracted his vote, King came out and pushed for Goshu's vote again.
I'm also surprised that when most people talk about 'vote for those who haven't posted a lot!' that Hagi and Pau are always left out. Weird omission, therefore:
Vote: Hagi
I want to hear some thoughts on the situation. What do you think of Goshu? Kitty's weird ready-to-die attitude? Speak up!
This is my plan.
Plan 1) This isn't a great plan, but I don't want to see day 1 devolve into needless role claims. It might not be "very helpful", but whatever, it's just a silly idea, people don't have to dig it.
Plan 2) My death
I don't have much of a great read on anyone's potential despairness, but maybe goshujinsama should go. Why? He already outed his special role. What if in the next 24 or so hours, we end up with a few more players who will crack under pressure from the growing votes and role claim their special role as well?
By the end of Day 1, mafia might already have a small list of special role claims, without them even trying.
King you have said multiple times that your 'plan' to lynch Goshujinsama Day 1 is to, in some very twisted form of logic, save other people from falling victim to early role claiming. While this could save people from role claiming by putting all of the pressure on Goshu, why on earth would anyone even remotely Pro-Town do that? Whether his soft claim of a Role Power is true or not that still gives him have a slightly higher probability of being important and seeing as having a higher Town player count over Mafia player count is important for a Town victory there is no reason to Lynch Goshu if you sit Pro-Town. Killing him off this early would give Mafia the lead and let them focus elsewhere while we simply kill off ourselves as they watch. That plus the fact that you have already pinged him for death by the Mafia because of his soft claim makes absolutely no sense because if Goshu is basically 'already dead' shouldn't we be focusing our efforts elsewhere and try to out others?
However:
Some thoughts since I just woke up:
Kingkitty confuses me. His behavior makes no sense from either a hope or a despair POV. He speaks and stands out far too much than a despair should on day one, but trying to gambit the way he is isn't helping his case for hope either.
Personally, I think we should leave him be FOR NOW. Come day two we should check him again, but right now if he isn't dispair, the real dispair could easily hide behind him.
I agree wholeheartedly. King's actions aren't making any sense and his seeming willingness to die is putting me off from voting for him out-right. Could this be a play by the Mafia in order to save himself? Possibly. But I don't believe we should give in to Kitty's wishes and kill him just yet.
