youngminii, you seem to have a lot of trouble reading a simple statement so let me clarify it for you: you did well last game, hence I think you are a pretty good player. I never implied otherwise.
Moving along: my main goal today is not to pretend like I can sniff out a red on day 1, but to get everyone to participate. Foolishness and ketomai have not posted. I have hope for foolishness know he a solid player so I would rather not see him go this early. I will vote for ketomai.
Unvote ##vote ketomai

Ok just caught up and out of all the ideas presented Tree.hugger's makes the most sense. We take a group of the most inactives, including people who have contributed nothing, Darth springs to mind... and then RNG to decide. From the looks of things this is going to be impossible to organise, in which case simply voting for an inactive person seems to me to be the best we can go for.
Also one post in particular stuck out to me when going over this http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=133561¤tpage=17#329
I'm suprised no-ones mentioned this, it seems like a clear attempt to try to influence what the blues do at an early stage, I'm not going to try to read too much into it but it stuck out to me when going over this thread. Another thing that stuck out is Darth's lack of posting much at all, tbh that could be nothing though as I'm of the opinion that simply writing little to nothing on the first day might actually be more beneficial than constant speculation on not very much information but the fact he's taken the time to basically write nothing seems odd.
I'll keep my vote on brownbear for now, he's posted nothing as far as I have seen and in the past I remember him being unhelpful to the town.

Actually scrap that, I've just gone over your posts individually Youngminii and your coming across so scummy to me. You argue everyone to abstain on the first day, or vote for someone that is going to be killed anyway. That directly helps mafia, and further reduces any information that we could have going into Day 2, you've also tried to directly influence what any blues in the game do on the first day and instead of addressing the points infundulum makes against you, you flip reverse it and accuse him of being Red.

Youngminii and Darth have been acting strange, but right now I would advise keeping an eye on them vs. lynching. We won't win this on day one.

##vote abstain
for now, didn't want to get modkilled

##vote: abstain.
Haven't read the thread and won't ve able to Until later

That directly helps mafia, and further reduces any information that we could have going into Day 2 I completely understand that it might seem as if it would reduce any information but I was hoping that the reactions to the plan would be something I could analyse (and still plan to analyse actually, since there's been good posts against it and just absolutely stupid posts against it) later in the game. This wasn't my ulterior motive or anything, I genuinely did want a no lynch or equivalent because there's still the greater chance of lynching blue and is generally not a good way to lynch (day 1 plays).
you've also tried to directly influence what any blues in the game do on the first day
So I take it you're saying a mechanical method of investigation as to make sure both checks aren't used on the same person is a bad thing? You're saying it somehow makes me scum because this method of checking CLEARLY helps scum?
and instead of addressing the points infundulum makes against you, you flip reverse it and accuse him of being Red. Remove vote Vote youngminii
What is this, I don't even... READ BEFORE YOU POST. I would honestly like to know why you think this doesn't address the points he makes against me. Please, tell me.

anyway your defense up there only addresses 1 thing that BC and citizen pointed out, which was the initial sentence. maybe you were joking (a reasonable explanation, i do admit, and i read it that way at first for what it's worth), maybe you weren't.
but what about asking the already answered questions? what about obvious blue advice that any blue knows?
what about telling the town it's a good idea to abstain? (it's not)
citizen didn't say that you weren't strong as i saw it, rather he said those kinds of mistakes were not something he would expect from you.
see, this is why i wrote that "just in case," since i know i'm not gonna be here my vote has a chance of being useless so i'm taking a gambit with a person that i think could be a lynch target as the night deadline rolls around. i knew you would come and have something to say; obviously just not this soon (sooner than me lol). sorry, but you haven't convinced me to move my vote.

Obvious blue advice? Really? Do you honestly believe that all 30 people in this thread know exactly how to play blue? Do you really think that each and every new person in here knows how to play their role perfectly? So in the case of all 30 people knowing the exact way to play without any discussions as to any plans we should just leave it at that and not discuss our options? You can't be that stupid, I refuse to believe it. Also, what already answered questions? Back up your statements with evidence please.
How is telling the town to abstain not a good idea? I'm willing to accept criticism of my ideas, but I'm not willing to just sit back and watch as someone comes in, votes for me as a placeholder in case a bandwagon is formed on me (which I suppose is pre-emptive bandwagoning) and then says my ideas are not good. Information Instead of Analysis. In fact, IIoA is a big scumtell in my experiences in other mafia sites (not sure about TL since this site is actually quite a lot different).
I never said citi.zen said I was good. In fact, I implied citi.zen said I was quite bad. I don't critique citi.zen's play because as far as I can tell, people seem to believe his meta is good but if he continues to critique me, so be it. I don't care.
Your 'just in case' is the same as bandwagoning, except you're doing it early. You think there might be a chance that people will start voting for me so you put your vote on me 'just in case'. Biggest hidden form of bandwagoning imo.
My conclusion: You're either a really bad scum, really bad townie, or a fucking bad blue.

Alright, so it's a little too late, and nobody seems up on my idea for picking randomly from a list of inactives. Fair enough, we'll do this the old fashioned way.
But it seems to me that we a list of sorts anyway, and we might as well try to start a bandwagon going on one of them. I think citi.zen's approach is somewhat reasonable, although I feel like established players playing quietly is more mafia-like then he suggests, and I'd rather vote Foolishness than Ketomai. I think Darth is also a huge candidate, I have no idea what he's doing, but it doesn't look like he's going to do anything helpful this game. And of course, the other two candidates and the publicly feuding youngjeezy and infundibulum.
So I propose a new list really. Foolishness Darth (3) Ketomai (1) youngminii (2) infund (1)
I'm going to switch my vote then, by virtue of personal suspicion to: ## Vote DarthThienAn
I urge everyone to pick from this list from now on.
***
And BM, we can't allow people to abstain, please forbid it after this first day lynch. It's just terribly unhelpful.

hm @BC when you ask for my reason for voting for hyperbola it is clearly stated in my post voting for him lol, beyond that it forced him to post what one more time? for a grand total of 2 posts? id still call that almost inactive, so while we have people with 0 posts i figure getting a few extra votes in him for pressure is good for information when he makes such a stupid post
sure it could likely be a bad townie just throwing around baseless accusations but it could also be a retarded red just doing something without thinking.
So im kinda worried that either BC doesnt know how to read or he's playing very sketchy to me and overly defending someone with two posts who has made them both pretty poorly?
and then tree hugger goes on again to say we had no reason blah blah i could say we have a reason and look i didnt post any substance either.
i gave valid justification for my vote, which has probably more backing than most votes in this thread. He's the best target for me since he's been just active enough to be considered not inactive and his initial posts were retarded, i usually find that to be good enough for the RVS.
i think that even if he ends up town based on the quality and lack of his posts so far it'd be better for town if he died anyway, i havent seen to much in the light of better candidates yet
but when you guys vote for people ill be sure to not quote the reason and say you had no reason too

Well I think BC is just being cautios, that's all. I mean he did bring up a good point(intentionally or unintentionally) in that Opz could very well be more mafia-esque than Hyperbola. However, now one of the reasons I am sticking with Hyperbola is that I don't want Darth hanged lol

i agree with the sentiment. It just irritates me when people blatantly demonstrate they havent read the thread. Unless they are saying my reasons are so poor they might as well be no reasons! Which i firmly dont believe, especially in the RVS like what the fuck, how sure can you be of anything with such little information?
the thing with opz is at least he is posting, it is clear we will be able to get plenty out of him. So it will become clearer as time goes on if we can get useful analysis out of him. Hyperbola straight up told me he's 'quiet' which is NO good in a game like this. So i think that's more than enough reason to pile on top of what already was said to make him more red like to me for today.
unless he actually comes out and starts posting more which is really what im hoping for

OpZ just has that sort of playstyle. Comes in, makes a couple accusations, then starts some shit. At least it demonstrates he's here.
Gonna unabstain now that I've read the thread.
##Unvote: Abstain ##Vote: youngminii
Not voting simply lets scum get off a free shot. Don't see the real reasoning behind not voting. Shit, I'd rather RNG someone than let em off the hook for Day 1. Anyways, I'd refrain from voting for someone who hasn't posted yet. Chances are they'll be modkilled within the next couple of days anyways. Why waste a lynch on someone who's gonna die later on?

cool. You realize it can be hard to interpret jokes through text, and my first assumption is to assume you're retarded cause that is often the safer assumption based on the vast populace of the internet.
And you're damn right im going to crucify you for not posting often! how else will people get any info. Place holder votes are also lol when half the time they always seem to stay on that placeholder...

The "OMG if you voted for hyperbola you have some explaining to do" post strikes me as the kind of thing that will sidetrack discussion for a long time. I don't like it.

Why exactly do you trust Xelin out of all the players here?
As for the hyperbola bandwagon: I didn't really mean to actually start the bandwagon xD I just pointed out that his posts don't provide substance at all, and his defense is very poor.
