And do not say once a month :D

I already got mine, wolf checking in.

Danny must be The Comedian.

Nice.

I'm home so I'll start working on them now. If anyone shows up in the next half hour or so wanting to play you can join!

lol, everyone who posts after this is guaranteed to be lying!

Considering the number of players in this game, I'd say the most likely scenario is 3 wolves and no cultist with the possibility of 2 wolves and a cultist and 3 wolves and a cultist. I can't imagine there being 4 wolves in a 14 person game.

Coolness. I am likely going to be away from a PC until tomorrow afternoon. Should be back in plenty of time for the Day 1 fun.

Checking in

Just in case there was any doubt in a game with rules suggesting all these roles ... there are vanilla villagers. I'm one of them.

Time to find some bad guys.

checking in...does my jeff vote count?

I refuse to check-in before the official start time.

YAY! OFFICIAL CHECK-IN!

And with that I am off to work.

Quick morning check in between meetings. Back in a few hours.

Vanilla Villager here.

I don't think there's any doubt that there are vanilla villagers.

VOTE HOOPSGUY

I am here for a bit.

Greetings Fellow Minutemen, it brings me much sorrow to see this once honorable organization brought so low. I can only hope we root out the evil amongst us and somehow reclaim some of that honor back.

We must not be too trusting when our fellow members reveal information about themselves or others-the evil amongst us know more about us than we do about them (they know the roles in the game) and there's a chance for deception if the cultist is in the game and a possible attempt at conversion to their side (the description for the cultist seems to hint at this).

I am just a regular member of the Minutemen, not one of our luminaries, so I only have my wits and my strong desire to remove the evil that is rotting away at our core to guide me.

Thanks for the info Jackal, I was about to ask :)

Checking in. I'm going to place my vote fairly early today but haven't looked to see where yet.

Wow, looking over that player list, what a crowd. Most of these guys are going to draw enough attention themselves, through longlasting rivalries, being talkative, being dangerous wolves, etc. I want to see a lot of names out there day one to make sure we throw a wolf into the pile one way or another.

VOTE J23

VOTE AUTUMN

Simply for being a pain in my ass last game ;)

Checking in. I don't know if hoops is a regular Minuteman or not, but I can confirm they're in the game as well.

That's enough to buy a Day 1 revenge vote. I'll change it if there is a compelling reason, but seriously DT?

VOTE DADDYTORGO

well might as well join the "fun"

VOTE JEFF061

Because I don't think I've played in a game with you yet? So this is my "hello". :) (and apologies if we have played in a game before)

ok, six guys have a vote...so i can either add a 7th, or be the dreaded "first 2nd vote" on someone.

i hate day 1

Yeah, I haven't played a game in about 2 or 3 years. I'm going to get all discouraged :(.

I'm going to go ahead and make the dreaded 2nd vote. Adding a 7th is silly.

VOTE HOOPSGUY.

vote Danny

Let's make it a two horse race.

UNVOTE DADDYTORGO
VOTE EAGLEFAN

While I don't have a problem with the notion of a two-horse race, I don't think that me + Danny is exactly an ideal two horse race on Day 1. Nor was there anything resembling a reason for putting Danny in there ... not that there has any kind of attempt by anyone to justify the D1 votes. But picking someone to push to the front of the pack has a little more importance, relatively speaking, than the initial vote on someone.

Actually, to follow proper WW etiquette and put the vote at the end of the post, the last post should have read ...

checking in, i should be around most of the day so i'll get my vote in later

I would love to see some consistent tactic for Day One which gives the votes for today some meaning for once. I know there have been efforts toward that (just recently, I think it was EF who had the Day 1 lynch candidate survive, although that's one that can only be used so often).

I'm not a fan of a two horse race alone, because I don't know that it really gives us enough candidates to give us a fair shot at a wolf or of something we can eventually learn from this vote.

If we go with Danny's numbers (3 wolves, 11 villagers), choosing at random, we have a 27% chance of hitting a wolf with the first candidate, and a 49% chance of having a wolf in two candidates selected at random. So picking at random, two candidates are still less than even chances. Plus, the actual percentage will be lower even than that, because three players are actively seeking to stop us from having a wolf in the mix.

If we introduce a third player, there is only a 34% chance of randomly selecting three villagers. Sure, it can still happen, but I like those odds better.

So I am going to attempt to do something useful with my Day 1 vote and push up a third candidate from those already with votes. J23 and jeff061 don't play so often, so that leaves me with Autumn.

VOTE AUTUMN

And while I am typing all that up, EF screws it all up.

not a big fan of the vote for hoops there EF, based on what...the fact that he questioned your motives so you vote him instantly?

vote eaglefan

:(

Looks like we are back to 3 with 2 votes each. I kinda like your argument CR. So I will end up on one of the 3... The back and forth this early makes me think of grasping at straws..so at least for day one that is enough reason to steer clear of the EF Hoops debate... Therefore I am left with only one option...

Vote Autumn
