Me. I rolled my frickin' self.

That's ok Schmidty. I feel you are being tricked as well. I doubt voting either hoops or Anxiety off will help us any.

Hrrmmm.. you do have a point there. But then the question is he being good-tricky or evil-tricky?

I 100% agree with half of this statement, but I'm wondering what is the basis for this comment?

No real basis, hoops. I do believe that both of the first two people pushed are usually innocent. Plus I don't really see why Anxiety is being piled on. Or that Barkeep found it necc to put 5 on you.

Unvote Hoops

Anxiety was in and didn't express concern about his having so many votes. It's weird. I'm leaning in that direction but am going to hold off for the time being.

Gah. No real reason? Sheesh.

Well I've unvoted and I'll stay that way for the moment, though this puts hoops right back on my radar.

Hey guys, this is only the second game of werewolf I’ve ever played, but doesn’t splitting the vote six ways make it a lot easier for the Titans to manipulate? I might switch this vote later because I don't see much to go on right now, but for now:

That's exactly why I voted for him -- to get him to move his vote. I'm not looking to kill him, or start a bandwagon -- I just want to get a vote out of him. The longer he waits, the more it will be self-preservation, but it is what it is.

UNVOTE HOOPS
VOTE BARKEEP


if he really did commit 5 action points for his vote then he is either a bad guy and perhaps doesn't need action points or he is a villager who isn't very important.

I haven't had time to get info on anyone yet, just like everyone else. It wasn't even the idea of hoops being on your radar that was distrirbing to me. It was pouring on the votes so others feel they have to throw in the leading candidate to stay up with you.
As for Anxiety, it seemed reaching to me to vote him after what at least seemedto be a whimsical day 1 vote.
So neither are really trusted, but comparatively they more trusted than those that voted for them.

Wow, strange day 1. I'm against revealing AP/votes, but I also think nobody should be using more than 1, especially on day 1. How can anybody possibly feel good about their day 1 vote?

I directly responded to one vote and its comments. How is that not expressing concern? Do you want outrage? Me getting really pissed at the people around me? I am rarely that sort of WW player.

I am rarely warlike.

If you feel the need to vote off a fellow god on Day One, well, at least I'm no seer. Someone's gotta go. I hold no grudges if its me. I'd prefer it not to be me, but you won;t see me all red in the face.

You shouldn't have voted for yourself, regardless of why.

It's like playing with a ouija board, and then being suprised and disappointed that you're being tormented by demons.

By the way, the ouija reference popped into my mind because last night's "Coast to Coast A.M." show was about demons and exorcisms. I get bored at night, and that dumb show entertains me.

No probs. I can reveal who I am if i need to, and everybody will feel silly. Just prefer not to give the wolves that info.

At this point, with no one promising super-votes in my direction, I'll put out a semi-reasoned vote.

I didn't like the vote from Lathum earlier. I thought he was being opportunistic with his vote as a potential pile-on while stating it was to prevent an Anxiety run-away.

Other people that I would consider, for various reasons:
- Ardent: get the impression he is playing his cards very close to the vest so far. Friend or enemy?
- Neon/Barkeep: did not like the idea of mass reveal, felt that these were the two ringleaders

VOTE LATHUM (likely to be a single vote if I'm not in self-preservation mode)

not in the slightest, since he described exactly what he did, the at that he followed through on his random roll made me laugh, but its NOT a reason to vote him IMHO.

I don't trust him, but I don't have a reason yet to DIStrust him either.

true, but in general the bad guys have a team dynamic in place which means perhaps you can do more with less while eliminating a good player day 1

but why on day 1 when you are voting with the least amount of confidence would you want to maximize them?

And so early in the day to boot?

Because I feel, especially with my voting heavily where others are not, that I am able to combat the D1 advantage the wolves have in coordination of votes.

I voted early to start discussion. It was not a locked in vote as evidenced by my un-vote. I am, however, evenly divded between putting my vote back there and voting Anxiety.

You are told whom votes for whom (which can be found in the thread anyways), and who the lynchee is. You do not find out how close it is or how many voting points each person spends or receives.

if anything they spread it out.

This is correct. You have 5 total APs each day (unless your role says otherwise). You MUST use 1 AP on a vote for that day or be penalized. You have 1 AP reserved for an action (which is optional and does not have to be performed if you do not choose). The remaining 3 AP can be spent either on strengthening your vote or strengthening your Action, or just left unused.

Anyone who sends in a PM stating a vote of 5 AP will be assumed to be 4 AP on the vote and the 1 AP for the action left unused/wasted. Anyone who votes but does not send in a PM will be assumed to spend 1 AP on the vote and leaving 4 AP unused/wasted.

They do it when one of their own is in jeopardy which happens about what one would expect to happen randomly and this is why we've had a non random amount of d1 bad guys being lynched.

Really? When's the last game a wolf was killed Day 1? And when did it happen the game before that? I think you're going to have to go far back to find one example and even farther to find a second.

whats the point?

the wolves spread their vote out so one of them doesn't get killed, not so that they gang up on someone.

That's my point. The wolves coordinate and make sure wolves don't get killed. A super vote combats that.

And, I think Lathum's point is, "not if its on some random person for no real reason."

It would only work if you were voting for a wolf, which you concede you have no confidence that you are.

exactly, the only way you could vote so confidently is if you knew someones aligience. And the only way to know that is if you are a wolf.

anyone have a vote count at this point? It's feeling like a pretty standard random day 1 vote today.

I like Lathum's reasoning behind voting barkeep, but I'm not ready to pin my vote on him just yet.

I'm not insinuating, I'm stating that I am going to use 5 APs. And how does this action lead to less pressure on the wolves if I vote for a villager than if I vote with 1 AP?

Out of lack of other options, I'm going to keep my vote on Neon_Chaos mainly because of the mass reveal thing. I see what Anxiety tried to do and am watching it backfire, so I'll be curious to see if there is a late switch or not.
