Sure. Meeko said that people shouldn’t be held accountable for their Day 1 votes **as the game progresses.** I said that people’s Day 1 votes become **more relevant** as the game progresses. ---

Another consequence of multiple scum groups: A scum under lynch pressure may claim a town power role, in order to provoke a counterclaim. However, there is less need to counter, as by claiming they have made themselves a target for the other scum group. So just leave them be and allow the other scum to take care of them. Although a downside to not countering is that town protective roles may waste their ability on someone who is actually scum. So I suggest that, if scum do claim your role, consider whether staying hidden would be better than immediately counterclaiming. ---

I hate playing on my phone. Cheese out All of the town, mafia, wolf roles are spelled out explicitly by the mods. Please read the 14, really 14, pages of roles in the game. ---

OOG: there are few greater honors for a guy pushing fifty than to have your nephew ask to hang out with you on his 21st birthday. Bummer about Dante, hope he is OK. I’m sure he really wanted to be here. I did have something I wanted to bring up when I am sober and not on my phone…does anyone know how, if at all, we can quote posts from other threads? ---

The only players making an informed D1 vote are Scum. There is nothing telling about a Townie D1 vote. so I guess I am on both sides since alignment was not included by either of you. ---

He has doubts as towards my townliness. I could assist by answering questions, giving opinions, and so forth. -Meeko, who by now, should know to click preview first, regardless of how short the post is. Also, why can’t we default the signature to on? ---
