ok, in all seriousness. the random placement of non votes is real bad. so while, my default is to ride lurkers like spelvin here it will be getting on non voters. so any strategy that gets a vote out is better than nothing. ---

To be fair **Texcat** probably got the newts comment from post 144 and has never seen the movie so it’s not really inconsistent. **Texcat** , in all seriousness though, you should watch this movie: > **[Monty Python and the Holy Grail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python_and_the_Holy_Grail)** > > Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a 1975 British comedy film satirizing the Arthurian legend, written and performed by the Monty Python comedy group (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin) and directed by Gilliam and Jones in their feature directorial debuts.

This has to be the strangest bandwagon I’ve ever not (yet) hopped on. Somebody explain it to me while I get myself some coffee. ---

Hey, I just voted him to get him to explain why “peeker being incomprehensible like usual” is OBVIOUSLY "peeker has a posting restriction. Didn’t know it’d start a trend. ---

And I have seen the movie, although it has been quite a while since I last saw it. That wooden rabbit to the head may have knocked a little sense (or should that be nonsense?) into me. ---

Also, has Diggit actually played with peeker before? I’ve lurked a couple games with him, so I kinda knew what to expect in terms of semi-comprehensibility, but I could see how someone would be confused. ---

I last checked in before I left work last night at 9, and before I get back again at 9AM there’s a bandwagon and you’re surprised that he hasn’t been checking in at 3 AM? ---

Oh, wait, sorry - I didn’t see he had been here and posted and not really explained himself. ---

> [@Tom\_Scud](#): > > Peeker, I think you misread the rules. [Random.org](http://Random.org) only comes into it if no one at all votes; there wasn’t anything about randomly assigning nonvotes. ok. i was parsing it like the no kill submission rule. regardless, lurking in a game of this size and timeline is still bad and not voting is worse, my two cents of course. ---

> [@Hoopy\_Frood](#): > > Best. Voting. Reason. Ever. > > The Gasterds have happily accepted your gratuitous sucking up. We are not above bribery or flattery, after all. I’ll even act as a snitch and tell you who is planning what and who I think the bad guys are. Wait, how does this game work again? Even though I voted in jest, it looks like that is where I want my vote to be, for now. The “obvious” post restriction is slightly weird, and early Day 1 that is good enough. Throw in the lack of explanation despite prompting, well, it is easy to see why there is a bandwagon forming. ---

NETA: and I agree with **peeker**. Short Days with unknown Gasterd element means lurking is really bad. Also, is this a fair suggestion - if anyone experiences a post restriction and can’t tell us what it is (that is a possibility, isn’t it?), could you please post lots, even fluff, to give us an idea of the restriction. Unless of course the restriction is don’t post lots, in which case listen to the mods before listening to me :). ---

I can only guess that **DiggitCamara** is referring to **peeker** ’s lack of capitals, but I fail to see why that would be perceived as a posting restriction rather than a personal style. (I’m following the Conspiracy game on IdleMafia, so I’ve seen peeker’s posts before, admittedly, whereas I don’t know if **Diggit** has, but still …) But by the same token, I don’t see why that would be worth voting him for; his response about “how would peeker write ‘I wish I’” seems clear enough to me now that I’m properly caffeinated. I’d really like another option, but no one has done anything that strikes me as remotely scummy. A near-unanimous bandwagon on Day One is arguably worse for Town than not lynching at all. (Not that I’m suggesting that’s remotely an option, oh great glorious mods.) ---

All right, this is kind of metagamey, but I guess I should get a vote down. It seems like the first day 1 bandwagon target is almost NEVER the real scum, and I don’t want to vote for someone for being confused by **peeker** (even though I don’t think the quoted peeker post that led **Diggit** to conclude he was post-restricted was at all confusing… dude, it’s a GHOSTBUSTERS reference), so I guess I’ll point at one of the bandwagon-jumpers. **FS** has done a better job of explaining, so I guess I’ll go for **BillMC** (with FOS on **ColdP** for now). **Vote BillMC** Disclaimer: It’s day 1, there’s no such thing as a solid day 1 vote, etc etc. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/inblourious-gasterds-mafia/509280.md?page=9) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/inblourious-gasterds-mafia/509280.md?page=11)
