> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > Here’s my current thinking: from what everyone says Colby is frequently lynched for being scum when he is not scum. This usually happens the first day. I cannot move a vote off of Colby, but if I could I would. We can lynch him later, but I say let us give him a shot to actually play the game. He’s been the lynch leader all week/Day 1 and has undoubtedly a) felt pretty screwed and therefore b) not really contributed. I say let’s see how he does when he’s not got the rope around his neck the entire Day. > > I have no knowledge that he is or is not scum. I may be an idiot softie on this. This may be the one time he actually IS scum, but that’s my argument. Move your vote to **ToeJam** (my pick) or **Lakai** (a current favorite) and give **Colby** one chance to show us his game. Erg, I’ve actually been contemplating this myself. I don’t want meta information like that to influence my gameplay, but I went through a stretch where I was either lynched or killed in the first cycle or two. It’s demoralizing and I can totally empathize with feeling “butthurt” and being snarky and defensive. It starts to feel personal and is probably a contributing factor to my long absence from the games. I also have been getting swayed by the current cases against **Lakai**. The **Toejam** votes I’m just not feeling as much. I still very strongly feel that **Colby’s** slip was real and he’s scum, but I am also willing to lynch another strong contender and let him play another Day. I’m going to go ahead and move my vote, just so if I can’t get back before end of day, it will be done. For the same reason I will revote, but I will not have time to pick out quotes from different people’s cases to support my move. It’s totally a MeToo vote and I will own that. I will also likely start Day 2 with a **Colby** vote, so heads up on that. **Unvote Colby** Vote Lakai\*\*\*\* (This is way harder to code on an iPad or phone, that with a keyboard and mouse. Jeez!) --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-one/776577)._
