It's in an information rich but hidden game like this where this sort of approach can work. Usually we don't get that.

please, please vote for me! With a cherry on top! I will be your best friend 4ever 4reals

I don't buy the CR approach, never have, and I'm pretty sure we all had this argument 50 or 60 games ago, everyone on the same side they're taking now, so I'm not particularly concerned either way.

Are we sure we'd even learn anything from a night cycle? At what point do the secret roled people find out that they indeed have the secret role?

I'm almost tempted to vote him out of sheer annoyance.

No duh. My point is that he has yet to be utr this game. That's why i mention that I would be okay voting out a utr person later. Voting someone D1 because of their play style isn't nice. It's mean. "It's saying, play my way, or else I punish you."

That's not something I support, and I'm happy to vote for Narcizo to help send a message that I feel it's inappropriate, and I don;t care if no one else votes for him, and nothing happens with the vote today, or how it screws up vote reviews later, I'm sending a message. I'm not moving my vote for anything. Danny could waive a flag that reads Here Lies the Wolf, and I'm not budging today.

I said I would earlier and have no reason to change now, I'd rather vote for someone I know doesn't have Gotham's best interests at heart then take a crapshoot and have people bitch that I'm piling on or trying to hide my vote.

and since Danny is still online...

Not particularly happy with how scattered today's vote is. However, mauboy was on my list at the start of the day, and right now I show him up 5-4. Good enough for me.

VOTE MAUBOY1

I've gone back and forth about voting Danny most of the day. I have no idea what his plan is, but hopefully it's a matter of calling his bluff.

I'm not sure what downside there really is in a Danny vote. If he's a villager, then a vote for him presumably helps us unless he's gone completely insane. If he's a wolf or a neutral that gains a power, at least we find out about it and he's going down eventually.

I'd be more OK with a Danny vote than a random Mauboy kill I think, but I'm willing to be talked out of it.

As gung-ho about it as he was, I'm concerned we're just going to be unable to lynch him and he's going to get kill multiple people. If he is The Joker, then I'm content to let Batman have the first whack at him. But it's your hide, if you think it's worth risking, I won't try too hard to dissuade you.

The one thing I can think of is that Danny is a non-villager who has a win condition or a power if he's the day 1 vote... which would mean holding off would be smart. Otherwise if we're going to do it, why not do it right away?

I think could be just as likely that Danny being as good a player as he is, trying to to draw the NK because he has a protection against that. Does that make any sense? It could be anything but I'm not sure what we gain by waiting. If he has a power then he's still going to have it down the line and we could be in a worse situation then.

this is my reasoning. however, my hunch is different than your 2 ideas (about what it means for him).

the other thing i worry about is if Batman has conditions with negative consequences for NKing a good person, i'd much rather find out for sure what Danny is up to than wait and have to find out later when he may be more powerful for all we know.

It makes sense but I disagree. I think his play is much more likely to draw a lynch than a NK.

In hope that it won't be necessary to do it at all. And the fact that he up and told us who he is, plus the obviousness of the voting mechanic he seems to be tied to, makes it seem unlikely to me we can just take him outside and blow his head off.

It's definitely unlikely I would draw a mob night kill. And I am definitely not worried about Batman.

Sorry I'm slow, what scenario would you be talking about that it wouldn't be necessary to do it at all?

I just feel like there has to be a deeper layer to this. If his nonsense voting is being forced by his role, there has to be some sort of protection for this. And mostly I don't want the protection to be free lynch + a kill. But I also suspect that if he gets a kill it'd probably be on someone who voted for him, so I'm content to let you guys chase him if that's what you want.

Nothing slow, I'm just guessing Batman could probably deal with him somehow. Or at least make it possible for us to deal with him. Of course, Danny could just be trying to draw in Batman, as his latest taunt suggests. You guys are kind of weakening my resolve here.

I'm willing to take that risk, I have no role (known to me at least) and have no issue putting myself at risk from getting: offed related to my vote, lynched at some point, NK from my strategy.

Whether others vote for him are up to you, i understand the risk others see. If 2 of my other people on "my list" were up for vote i would think about switching but they aren't so I won't. As I said when I voted for him, I also don't feel like getting the inevitable "you're trying to hide your vote by piling on late" etc... BS either.

I'm honestly as stuck here as I have been... and it's only a day 1 vote

I'm slightly leaning towards this being a good play. I think the odds that something bad happens here that we could have avoided down the road are less than the alternatives.

Well I am going out and probably won't be back until after the deadline. I will move my self defense vote onto the person who I believe is more likely going to get lynched even though I think he isn't a good candidate today(but who is) like I have already said.

For those voting Danny, what are the odds he is an out-and-out criminal? Playing in a way that's reasonably likely to draw a scan probably means he wouldn't be one that would scan as bad. So if there's a cunning-type role in this game (which we don't know), that would be the only reasonable role for him, and even that would be a stretch in my opinion. I think there's a very low chance he's a criminal as a result. While I dont know what to think about the other possibilities, I feel pretty strongly voting Danny is a pretty poor percentage play.

There's a chance he's a mobster, there's a bigger chance he's a non-listed character who does not have Gotham's interests at heart. Given the alternatives (shots in the dark IMO) he's my vote.

For the argument of "he wants us to vote for him to activate something" I would argue he could also be giving off that vibe to stay alive due to a nighttime ability activating. It works both ways, if he can duke then I'd rather find out day 1 than wait til day 6 when it costs us the game IMO.
