And here’s our list of reserves, to be subbed in as needed. I’ll be instituting a similar “no lurking” rule as NAF did last time, so we may need you folk.

If anyone else wants to be put on the reserve list, let me know.
I don’t know about everyone else, but when I am feeling the grip of nameless dread I find that doing a little fishing helps take the edge off. I’ll be down by the bridge with my line and pole and my thermos of coffee and Baileys.
All night I was trying to decide whether I should come right out and vote no one. After all, it would be really easy to lynch a townie on the first day by mistake.
But then I realized how scummy voting “no one” would make me look. But then it also makes me look scummy if I am worried about looking scummy. And then the fact that I’m overthinking this makes me look even more scummy. But not thinking about it at all and just lurking around and waiting to jump on whatever bandwagon comes rolling into town makes me look scummy too…and then this whole post is now going to make it look like I’m protesting too much…!!!
:eek: :eek:
…Um, I’ll be breathing into a paper bag in the corner. I don’t think I can TAKE this kind of PRESSURE!
Full disclosure and all, anyone playing who happened to be following the “Backseat Mafia” thread about NAF’s game, when I was on last night I saw a post from someone saying something to the effect of “might as well discuss both games here”, at which point I stopped reading and left the thread.
Not sure if it has since been addressed over there or not but that would put NAF in a somewhat awkward position and cut the rest of us off from the thrilling ending of the Clusterfuck Trainwreck.
I was thinking about no-voting for lynching (since odds are greater we’ll lynch a townie than scum) but if we all do that, that really doesn’t give us much to work with on day 2, does it? Since suspicion comes from previous voting patterns and such.
That’s exactly why I thought it would look scummy!
So anyway, please forgive my minor freakout in the corner. I’m not much of a morning person, and even less so when I have to deal with rooting out Mafia first thing after sunrise. But I think I can pull it together by early afternoon.
Mainly, we townies have one advantage right now: numbers. The mob’s advantage right now is information (they know exactly who is on their side and who isn’t).
So, at this stage the probability of lynching a townie is high, however the votes will provide us with information about alliances, etc. On the other hand, since the scum’s interests dictate a strategy of diluting information and spreading paranoia, I’ll vote for **ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies
**.
My reasons?
