After Reading (part of) XXVIII, it seemed like on the first day people just sat in a circle waiting for someone to say something stupid.

waits for a while

People in XXVIII remarked we have three choices on the first day:
1) ~~Kill someone using a RNG~~ (I'm against this, what if we kill a blue role? That would suck if we lose a DT)
2) Kill someone inactive/dumb (Benefits: Inactive people don't help us. Problem: It's seems more likely that an inactive person is town)
3) Kill someone who seems like Scum. (Problem: never works)

First day is always difficult. Generally people go for option 2 because it promotes discussion and promotes people actually posting in the thread. That gives us more to work with, and gets people in the habit of regularly posting. Plus, town can afford to lose a couple inactive, dumb townies this early in the game.

But seriously, why you vote for me? I've been way more active than most of the players in this game.

I like this idea, but I think we should wait at least a few more hours or so. Right now, there's essentially only 4 of us posting (and I'm posting from work lol)

That's because a lurking mafia will come out of his lurk if he sees himself being voted. Hence he's not inactive anymore, hence impossible to catch mafia by lynching inactives (unless you use it to judge reactions etc.)

The point is to get mafia talking, and in case (read: when) we fail-lynch, we at least are lynching an inactive (read: useless) player rather than a potentially useful player.

The more mafia talk in the thread, the more we can attempt to get them.

Targeting inactives is the best way to go right now. To that end, I'm voting Jayme, who has not posted since his signup post, unless I missed something.

I would like him to post in the thread though.

I'm voting Iaaan to get him talking more.

I really don't like the idea of lynching BM on day 1. Regardless of how scummy he looks, he's not playing any differently than he normally does (yet, at least), and I want more activity in the thread for now.

Also, Opz, you voted for me randomly. Just a placeholder, or care to explain why?

lajarse could possibly be scum, but let's get everyone talking before we make a concrete decision. We still need to hear from Roffles and a couple others.

I'll post when BM flips.

Are we really lynching BM day 1?

This post is scummy as fuck.
I am keeping it separate from my other posts to make it be read again

Awww, Bill Murray chose to quote one of my posts and call it out as scummy while providing no reasoning why, at all, while being (if my counting is correct) the person with the most votes on him? I feel so special.
