Oh, I thought I had to go, but I have time for one more post. To clarify, my post above is a kind of pseudo-random vote, which is the best we’re going to be able to do on day 1. I do think it is good for people to get some kind of vote on the table early, obviously we are all just stumbling around in the dark waving our machetes around at this point.
I tend to think that the most important source of data in this game is voting records…I want to know who voted to lynch who, what their reasons were, and whether they switched. Of course, scum may vote to lynch scum, even leading the bandwagon, for the sake of gaining townie cred…but they are outnumbered and can’t afford to pull that very often. Other than that, I lean toward lynching the lurky and those whose votes don’t seem to follow any consistent logic. I think it would be pro-town if we could all share our general thoughts about strategy now, so we can later look back and see how consistent we have all been in following those strategies. Besides, it’s not like we have much else to talk about.
And the Jaelyn name is cool. I’ve got a McKenzie and an Adelaide with two more generics so I am totally down with out of the mainstream naming conventions.

Well, if you need any more, try out some of these.

But listen to what BlasterMaster is saying. Some things in this game are counter intuitive. For example you would think it would be in the town’s best interest if the Detective were able to always get a scum read. But look at Simpletown where NAF1138’s third read was scum. On the surface - whooppee. But if he would have read a live town then the game was over. We wouldn’t have to have gone through two more Days of the whole RyJaye miller angst.

Yeah, if you’re Town. The Town can afford to give up some of its numerical advantage to get information, and confirmed town is almost always more valuable to Town than confirmed scum.
Female, this is my first game here but I’m also in another game elsewhere that refuses to get off the ground.

Well thank god mama had some input. These would have been the kind of names that about 4 a.m. on a tequilla bender would have made sense. Then when you wake up in the morning you go crappy idea (kind of like - damn she looked hot last night).
[QUOTE=Thing Fish] twickster, I don’t know how strict our mod is going to be, but I think you need to put not only your nominee’s name in blue, but also the word “vote”, and that should be on a separate line all its own. Unless you *knew * that, and you were trying to look like you were casting a vote which wouldn’t really count, so you could deny responsibility…(cue ominous music) SCUMTELL!!!
[/QUOTE]
Nope, sheer ignorance. Thanks.
vote anyrose
So does that count as the third vote, or the second since the first was mine incorrectly cast, or was that half a vote and this therefore the second-and-a-half, or …
Oh cckerberos explain yourself, why does random not like you? :smack:

No doubt the site’s programming has been subverted in an attempt to do harm to the Town cause. Perhaps they hacked the site, or perhaps there’s a more sinister explanation. Examining the random.org site I note that they openly acknowledge that their random numbers are used for “gambling sites.” Given the well-known connections between gambling and organized crime it would not surprise me in the least to learn that some of the scum here called in a few favors to ensure that any requests made from our town got “special treatment.”
Obviously the solution is to use a more neutral RNG, such as that of randomizer.org, like I just did.

And since we seem to be having some table manners type of input. I try to strip the color of quotes. I’ve never modded a game but think intuiatively that only having to look at colored active posts would be helpful. Of corse CoG888 hasn’t entered bastard Mod status - Yet. In which case every flippin’ response is going to be randomly blue or red bolded.
Having said that can someone pass the taters and gravy, please.

Question for the Mod: Are the Days and Nights going to end on a fixed schedule, or will there be some element of uncertainty?
[/QUOTE]
The plan is to end the Days on Thursday evening/afternoon, and end the nights on the weekend, like Simpletown. I am not inflexible though, and will consider requests for extensions. Keep in mind that, “We haven’t decided yet!” is not a good enough request for an extension.
I’m just sayin’, Oredigger77 not voting twice… scummy?
As for me,
vote bufftabby
because I suspect in another thread that she’s trying to convince me to become a cat lady who wears cat-related sweaters and cat earrings. Because they match.
Oh great and knowledgeable Mod (man behind the curtain) you state thatIn the event of a tie, the moderator will decide on a victim at random. Random from the whole field or random from the folks tied?
I don’t want to see my skinny townie ass swing just 'cause a couple of other folks happen to get in a tied situation.

Heh. I’m named after my cat here. Sometimes I meow when I’m surprised. What else would you expect as my advice?
