Actually, you’re right. Your post prompted me to look at peeker’s previous posts so I guess he’s not one to capitalize anything. So I have to retract my claim that he has an “obvious” posting restriction.
Ok I’m going to take a different route and vote for the first voter of the Day, because of how long we went with no votes at all – I know from experience that sort of situation gives Scum an itchy trigger finger. They have more people to worry about than the rest of us do (as we have no Masons). So that would be texcat.
Also, because ColdPhoenix came forward to explain texcat’s Monty Python confusion after peeker’s vote, and that could conceivably have been motivated by something other than altruism. (I guess the same applies to me with respect to Diggit, but them’s the breaks.)
And, it must be said, because of OMGUS. (No, not really.)
vote texcat
Not much, but it’s the best I’ve got.
We didn’t go “long” with no votes at all, we couldn’t vote on Night Zero.

Our esteemed mod’s comment seems to be more in line with the idea that there was a significant lag before our first vote came.
But I came to vote texcat. He’s the one with the second-most votes and lynching him might avert my lynching.
Of these, I think we have yet to hear anything from Darth, Nanook, or Gryff. Gryff mentioned in his check-in post that he was swamped at work.
Unvote DC, for now.
Something jumped out at me: Freudian Slit’s posts:
169
Bleached, bolding mine. DiggitCamara hadn’t voted by this stage - well, for a mod, but that doesn’t count.
Three posts to justify a vote, when no one asks FS for clarification? Am I reading too much into this, or does it look like FS wasn’t paying attention, followed by trying to hard to justify the vote?
Meanwhile I’ll keep scrounging.
Sorry, I’m here. I just didn’t see the point in adding yet more worthless speculation on what may or may not be Gasterd about this game. It just seems to me we should wait until one Day has passed so we have something at least resembling actual information with which to speculate.
The Diggit bandwagon is ridiculous. I know it’s Day 1, no good cases, blah blah blah. Even still, voting for him(her? It’s been a while and I can’t remember now) for not being familiar with peeker’s style and assuming a post restriction instead of an affectation is terrible. Of all the people that voted for him, the one that pings me the most is Mahaloth. Way to give DC time to respond! It strikes me as a scum hopping on a bandwagon in an attempt to get a freebie mislynch.
Vote Mahaloth
The case against texcat is:
*1 joke vote (peeker)
*first to vote (normal phase)
*1 self defence vote (diggitcamara)
Not exactly a solid case, even by Day 1 standards
Oops. Sorry, he wasn’t voting. I just thought it was a weird reason to be suspicious. Still don’t get the post restriction.
To be fair, Nanook, I thought that too, but then I looked up again and realized that Diggit had in fact posted during the night, just not in a way that explained himself. So his comment makes more sense in that context.
Thanks for the explanation.
Unvote Diggit

Yes, well I was really trying to tell him that I am more than willing to hear him/her out.
I was trying to nudge him and will unvote him if he responds and I think it is reasonable.
He has responded, top of this page.
I was first to vote. And I voted for Normal. I have not yet voted for peeker and I have not yet voted for diggit. Why are you blantantly mischaracterizing my voting record? And calling it a “case” against me???
Unvote: Normal Phase
Vote: AllWalker for lying about my voting record
Whoa, that’s a bit of a hair trigger there, considering it’s aimed at the wrong target. AllWalker was criticizing the votes against you, saying they didn’t add up to much in terms of quality (and he’s right; my vote was the only one of the three with any reasoning behind it beyond self-preservation). He was not criticizing you at all. Why would you jump to the conclusion that he was?
vote TexCat
Seems a little… jumpy, you know? I’m very willing to change my vote, Day 1 vote dumbness, etc.
I’m confused by your response. AllWalker found the case against you (Texcat) weak, yet you attack him?
