RIP Gafia!Ouro
Anyway, no night kills. That's...surprising.
I'm going for no lynch, until I can figure out what to do with the small amount of info we have.
Someone who doesn't communicate is suspicious. Do you not agree?

Elaborate pls
Huh!? I'm just putting all the scummy people on a list. You're awful non-commital despite being right here ready to plot your defenses, scum.

Hm? I was just wondering why aiming for lynch day 1 is scummy. Probably quoted the wrong post for it to be fair, but you know. And you're awfully aggressive for...wait no it's you never mind.
Doesn't help that I keep forgetting the whole no editing thing.
I don't think there have been many successful cases of convincing people to vote for someone else (barring role reveals and the like), so ignoring them and/or refusing to talk makes sense, because otherwise you risk drawing attention from others.
There's been a lot of cases of people reacting from votes, which helps in deducing reads.
I will never endorse silence, it's anti-town.
Why isnt QuestionBro down here in the scum barrel with us when he did something that screams scummy to you?

Have to fully disagree. It gets information out there and people talking potentially. And it is all we have to go on Day1.

I've been convinced to change my vote before via talk. Granted I was known to be a wishy washy flip floppy moron in DR, but hey if it worked on me it can theoretically work on others.
He's in a different list. I only wanted to make the one public.

On my list how many people do you think are scum? 2? If so who do you think those guys are

Even if you turn out to not be scum you might be swayed to vote with them.
That and I don't have enough to go on to vote for someone else yet, well apart from Darryl being awfully vigilant, but I cant decide if it's to protect us townies or to eat us townies.
I'd say there's a good chance of one scum in there, based on the size of the list and the number of players overall.
I don't have any scum reads on anyone just now, though I have people I will be suspicious of due to past games and experience. From your list I'd include Topo and CB.
Haven't played with Makai, RNH or ultron and I'm alright. I looked in the mirror this morning and didn't feel instantly sick.

Tis the nature of the beast. But mafia leading town lynches also puts a target on them potentially.

Sorry, may the arachnid gods have mercy. You may take my limbs if I ever do it again!
Oh my god!

Hmmmmmm, that spider looks absolutely delicious.
I disagree. Let us assume you have a role, maybe you're the doctor, yet some people voted for you. If you ignore them, you might survive the day without having to role claim, while mafia might leave you alone, thinking that you might be lynched the next day. If you defend yourself, there is a good chance people will vote for you, especially given the type of accusations thrown around.
I personally really dislike this whole "staying quiet and ignoring accusations" playstyle, but it's certainly a smart way to stay alive.
So we agree in principle, but you're playing devil's advocate?
Countering your argument, I was Doctor in MGS and while I never went under any real pressure, I did address votes cast on me and was generally active the entire game and no one thought I was a PR, Palmer even told me he was going to claim doctor towards the end of the game just before I did (idiot cabot).
It only becomes a problem with how you react, with the exception of a last minute bandwagon.
In a way. I mean I think it's a smart way to fly under the radar and avoid scrutiny, which can benefit both town and mafia. In general you are of course correct that more discussion and discourse, in particular when a life is on the line, is beneficial for town.
I don't know. I guess it depends on the situation and the players involved. I personally often get worked up about votes against me. Oh well, I'll think about it.
You could say that, to a degree, nobody benefits from silence. Town need to know who their allies are, scum need to know who their enemies are, and power roles are usually interested in everyone regardless of alignment. Of course, there is an art in knowing when and when not to open one's mouth.

Scum already know who all of their enemies areat least that's very likely in this casebecause they have knowledge of each other.
May I know why you voted for me, or is this another random pressure vote? Since you disapproved of those, I would assume you have a proper reason for doing so.
This is true in the basic sense, but they still get some benefit from the conversation. Seeing who is and isn't passive, who leads conversations, who follows, who bandwagons, etc.
Nobody has any reason to be completely silent, is what I'm getting at.

I always open my game up with a random vote, it's a Terrabyte special!
Don't want to derail the current conversation, but I did want to post some food for thought:
Regardless of whether it was a doctor or some other role, I think it's safe to assume that whoever was targeted last night was a veteran. VERY meta, I know, but let's keep in mind whoever got killed night zero technically doesn't get to play, and we try to make good first impressions for newbies.
I voted for you because you're scum. Obviously. You know you're scum. I know it. Every post you make reeks of it.

said the scum?
Interesting. I would like to see a list of examples, because this seems to be serious and I didn't think things would go into overdrive so soon.
And, you know, Darryl, there's something aggressive and antagonizing about the comments you've been making since the start. cabot pointed out the contradiction with your list earlier, and your only defense was "oh, they're on a separate list." And now, you're 100% targeting me, when no one else seems to be wary of me or should have any reason to.
Something's not right. You already have two votes. Let me add a third.
Vote: Darryl

I mean to be fair the bolded I think is just known as "being Darryl"
Darryl gonna Darryl.
Yeah, I took the above into account with this message directed at them earlier:
But I'm definitely not hand waving their statements for this apparent style of play, especially when it can be a hindrance to the town.
