It's always tricky to judge a new player's actions, but I don't find Cartman's vote any more or less suspicious than the other 3 or 4 people who spread out their vote with already a few candidates up for lynch.

I do not think that I'll be voting for Cartman today. And I'll accept whatever linkage that may or may not suggest. Bottom line, I do not think that this is your best argument.

One last before I go. I would expect a new wolf to hide his vote on day 1 Hoops. Why jump on someone who is going down if you know them to be good? Why not just bury your vote and go with the flow(at that point it was the way the game was heading, everyone was just burying their vote)?

Clap 3 Lathum ( 114), Passacaglia (158), Danny (181)
Hoops 2 PerdueBrad ( 115) Jackal (165)
Abe 2 BK (110), USFLTechmo ( 139),
Cartman 2 MartinD ( 164), Dubb (184)
Lathum 1 Clap ( 107)
Jackal 1 Hoops (109)
BK 1 Abe (122)
Autumn 1 lerriuqs ( 136)
Lerriuqs 1 Cartman( 167)
Poli 1 Schmidty ( 172)

Again it would be nice if we could cut the list of candidates down a bit.

I kind of agree with this, but I still don't see the logic for why Cartman's vote stands out as opposed to the other 3 or 4 people who did the same thing.

I'm sure a lot of us are going to be occupied from 8-12 tonight, but I'll make sure I check in leading up to the deadline a fair amount to see if my vote needs to be moved or what not.

I would like to consolidate votes as well, but would like to suggest we target someone who hasn't shown up today. I'll try to figure out who that is. If I can't get anyone to go with that plan I'll vote for one of the top vote contenders, but so far nothing has made me suspicious enough of anyone in particular.

I think it's the timing, more than anything. 3 people already had 2 votes on them, and 5 others already had one. There's no point in opening up yet another person for suspicion at that point, and I can see the "burying the vote" point pretty well. Even so, had he fired back at Martin, it's possible it might be chalked up as a "revenge" vote, but that's not the case either.

Dubb, I'm not suggesting that Cartman's vote is good/bad/whatever. I just do not see it as standing out as any more nefarious than the other votes out there. I certainly do not see him attempting to avoid linkage with the guy who voted for him in some kind of overly complex wolf/wolf scenario.

I've gotten to the point where I've accepted that I'm not smart enough to spot multiple wolves in one sitting on Day 1. That is what Lathum's argument sounded like to me upon reading it.

Notice that I'm not suggesting Lathum (or you) are wolfish for voting for Cartman. I've got very little idea at this point, frankly. I just said that the argument posed by Lathum did not work for me.

Chief Rum, Poli and one other who hasn't voted. I didn't really see who from scanning the list. I know CR has checked in and been active though.

Oh thank you, I had missed writing that down. But what did you mean by third vote? oh, you meant third vote on Clap, I thought you meant third vote by anyone, lol, that explains it.

I realize you and Schmidty have this whole vote for eachother day one thing, but the vote is already spread out enough.

All right, I still don't have any particular incentive. But it seems prudent to make sure we don't have a tie, so I'll vote Clap now as well. I should be in and out a few more times if we need to change.

I feel like I should post. But I don't have anything worthwhile to say other than I support consolidating around a few people for later meaningful analysis than having a huge spread.

Amen. I believe Schmidty and Poli have even, once in the past, used their usual votes for each other as wolf cover (when they were both wolves). These automatic D1 votes harm future vote analysis because of the ease with which they can be dismissed by the person casting them.

So it looks like the votes are as follows:

3 votes - Clap
2 votes - Hoops, Abe, Cartman
1 vote - Lathum, Jackal, Barkeep, Autumn, Lerriuqs, Poli, Schmidty

I'm not going to move my vote at this point. I don't feel strongly on any of the candidates, beyond what I've already said about Cartman not being an overly devious wolf with his vote.

I won't be around at the vote deadline. Selfishly I'm hoping that this non-move does not come back to bite me. Realistically, it could but if it does we do not lose a roled character. That isn't the worst D1 result in the world.

I'm not planning on changing my vote, but I'll check in when I can - I more than likely won't be around at the deadline either (and that'll be the case all week).

Autumn's, that is. Typing is hard.

I think this will be my last post before both deadlines, so here is my thoughts on seer scan for tonight - check Autumn if Clap is good. That vote could very easily be an "agenda vote" protecting one of the people with two votes.

Or check me if you think I've got an agenda in suggesting who you (the seer) scans. Whatever works.

I understand...though I think some of you are assuming things of me already. [/rolls eyes]

This is the first time since my "return" to werewolf that I've voted for Schmidty in the first day. I think that's a span of three or four games now.

Honestly, today's vote *is* because Schmidty voted for me...the only other person I think I would vote for is Chief Rum. That, though, spreads out the vote as well.

A reminder that Abe currently does not have his vote on Clap which means the voting is basically 5-4 for Clap right now.

As the 11:00 employee meeting creeps closer, the past hour and a half has seemed like 18 hours, everyone b egins to get more and more nervous and more and more paranoid.

EagleFan's desk look like it has been cleaned out already. His body has been dragged away. Who did this? Everyone begins to ask around but no-one saw anything.

All that is left is what looks to be an empty desk.

"Initech stock has increased by 1 point today. Experts are citing a recent cost cutting strategy and predicting increasing profits." Is heard coming from a radio financial report.

"Excellent!!!!! Muahahahahahaha!!!" Echoes through the halls and sends chills down your spine.

Why does anyone vote for anyone on day one usually? No real reason. Unfortunately nothing much has come out and Abe and Clap emerged as the candidates for today.
