And I think your idea of scrutinising Omi voters tomorrow if Omi turns out town is reasonable, but at this point I am happy with an Omi lynch due to the data that will be generated, especially if Omi flips scum.
I do not think a random lynching of one of the Omi pack today is useful. The utility of such relies entirely on your surmise of Omi being town. If omi is scum then the likelihood for scum to be in omn the vote changes surely?

A little under 2 hours remain in Day One.**
I disagree with this. Is it not true that scum have often tried to hide behind policy votes? Is it not true that scum have lent their support to townie plans that were subtly anti-town? While I will ring the “don’t vote based on strategy disagreement” bell, there is a lot of room to say “no, that plan is pro-scum, and so are you.” There’s equally a lot of room to say “I think X has done more objectively scummy things, but Y’s scumminess is subtle and has to do with their bad plans and anti-town play, making them a greater threat.”
Despite this, I am not voting for you. I think Oni’s desultory comments speak towards a fundamentally bad-for-town attitude (that is, that town can’t win until the scum hands us something to win with).

NETA: “Despite this, I am not voting for you**, becuase I believe we ARE just having a strategy disagreement**.”
I haven’t jumped on the Omi bandwagon because the principal reason for voting for him is that he voted on the player who he saw as being the least pro-town and not for the player that he thought most likely to be scum. It seems that most of those voting for him are voting against him for anti-town play, not for suspecting him of being scum.
If Omi turns up town as I think he will, the Omi bandwagon deserves a good hard look next Day.

About 37 minutes left in Day One.
While I think your suggestion is an intriguing one, I do not think trying to squeeze a discussion into the space of a few hours would be anything other than a clusterfuck. That said, I think there will be much to profit from analyzing how this bandwagon formed, especially in the area of well-reasoned cases vs me-too votes.
@The 1/3rd of the players who haven’t bothered to vote, wtf!?! This is ridiculous. You can’t all be scum. What reason could you possibly all have for not voting?
Day ends at Noon, though I’m cleaning a mess in the basement and may write up the color for it a bit late. Just a few minutes, though.

Just a moment, please.
**As the Day began, the Order of the Phoenix set out to discover who the Death Eaters were that had hidden themselves within them.
But then, an odd quiet set about the Order. Some people made some suggestions and others nodded in agreement or shook in disagreement, but on the whole, the Order of the Phoenix was quiet and reserved.
“Who should we kill? Is there any way to know?” said one.
Everyone looked at their feet, puttered around, and mumbled thoughts that could barely be heard.
“I have an idea,” said Chipacabra.
“Then I think you are a Death Eater,” responded a few wizards.
Ominokami stepped forward and said, “I also think Chip is a Death Eater.”
“Oh really?” cried some other wizards. “Then,” they said, “you must be the true Death Eater!”
A small group began to encircle Ominokami.
“Wait! No!” he cried.
More voices from other wizards began to join the accusation on Ominokami. Wands began to be raised, while one wizard took Ominokami’s wand from him.
“Then it’s decided,” said one wizard.
The Order of the Phoenix pointed their wands at Ominokami and together, they cried out:
“Avada Kadavra!”
Green light shot quickly out of the wands of the Order of the Phoenix members.
And Ominokami was instantly dead.
But who was he really?
As they stared at Ominokami….he began to morph. His true form was revealed.
And they recognized him.
Ominokami was Antonin Dolohov, a Death Eater.
“Well,” said one wizard, “we definitely know they are among us.”
“Yeah,” replied another, “But I doubt we’ll get that lucky again.”
Several wizards just hung their heads in shame…not saying anything.
It is now Night One.

A scum so nice, they killed him twice!
Yeah, that is weird.
My bad, folks! 
Someone’s got a malfunctioning Time-winder.
I thought it looked a bit long for color.
:smack:
Nice one, guys! Sorry that I missed the end of the Day – I flew to my parents yesterday and fell asleep just after supper.
NETA: I meant to say, that’s a Time-Turner.
Guess that’s settled :smack:
Yes!!!
Is the bar open?
Sweet. Rarely happens day one. Nice when it does. Eat hot death, Death Eater!
Wow! High five!
