I'm keeping my vote on Smodge, until he says/does something that isn't scummy.

[Ranmilia]

Bleh, this day 1 is incredibly too long.  I (gasp, shock) don't actually see Smodge's posts to date as being scummy.  His DREADFUL PLAN OF NAME THEFT is obviously absurd and I don't see any real game implications on it either way.   

Tom, Smodge, y'all two (and anyone else who thinks this way) really need to get out of this OMGUS mentality where your suspicions gravitate towards whoever says something about you first.  I know, thinking is hard on Day 1, but realllly now.

I love how Rat says "Let's get some votes out there" and then three people immediately unvote.  Very classy response.

##Unvote: Andrew Izayoi
##Vote: Evil Suika Tom

Cause... well, cause taking the DREADFUL PLAN seriously is the oddest thing I've seen so far.

[Ranmilia]

PS

##Vote:  Shorten Day 1 deadline by (at least) 24 hours

##Love: Chen

Day 1 should be shortest, not longest.

[EvilTom]

Lol, I wasn't taking it seriously. I was actually more surprised that he took his vote away from me (along with the others). I'm not actually adding a new vote to him for his evil plan of evil, I'm just leaving it there until he actually does something constructive for the town.

And yeah, 72 hours... whoa. I'm sure we'll reach hammer before then... well I hope.

[Smodge13]

Meh i still don't understand the purpose of "jokevote" hence i use the OMGUS mentality for this part or i roll a die and see what comes up, reason it often seems im becoming OMGUS is because the 1 factor i am always sure of no matter what is that i know what I am, often i can't see why people are attacking me so it seems scummish and hence i attack back.

As for why i removed my vote, i assumed we were out of "jokevote" stage and i don't want my vote on people unless i have some reason to believe their scum.

[EvilTom]

But we can't get anywhere on day 1 unless we vote for people. Nobody is just going to start announcing their alignments.

And it's they're, not their.

[Corwin]

Urge to slay the lack of proper capitalization and punctuation at its source, rising.

[Smodge13]

Oops sorry about spelling error.

I know that Tom, day 1 I never seem to have anything to go on other than:
1. Gut
2. Who's acting different/past games
3. Lurker
4. Supposedly someone who says something stupid (although i am yet to see this draw out scum, 3 games and every time we target someone for something stupid it ends up town)

Although i've got to admit, 4 does bring about discussion where in games like this jokevote lasts forever because there is nothing serious to discuss.
The problem all 4 of these could be either Town or Scum.

Owel time to read over things again, in the morning i'll vote for either a lurker or whoever Gut says is scum.

Tom i cant even see where i typed Their or They're......... but i asusme it's me so i apologize for the mistake.

[Carthrat]

Do we have to talk about why day 1 sucks? We get it, really, all we can do is live with it.

I don't think there's any particular value to not voting at the moment. It's a tad early to go after lurkers, but you *might as well* if you've got nothing better. You can always Unvote, there was a demonstration of this function on the previous page. People who have gone 'the jokevoting phase is over! We can take away our votes' are missing the point of voting today at all in the first place.

[mia~]

I removed my joke vote on Strago because it was based off of his desire to roll scum/serial killer from the sign-up thread. Someone's joke in the sign up thread sounds like a dumb reason to leave a vote on someone, honestly. I don't think he is lurking either, but I do think there are some people who are lurk-ish. For now, ##Vote: Ciato. Talk moar? ;_;

[Taishyr]

##Vote: Otter/Reimu. No post, is Otterstart, Otterstart is suspicioustart. Also, she's not attacking all the youkai swarming around the shrine, and not hurling accusations, this is odd no matter what.

[OblivionKnight]

##Vote: Otter

At the current moment, I don't see a better vote.  Obviously, he could be busy, and it's very freaking early (60+ hours to go?!), but this is similar to the Random Mafia behaviour, so...why not.

[Shale]

##Unvote Taishyr. All the cool kids are doing it.

People who haven't talked: say something! Prove that you're alive and not some soulless, card-stealing zombie. Yeah it's Day 1, I got nothin'.

[Kilgamayan]

Due to multiple requests for such, I'm shortening to day by 24 hours. The new deadline is 7:30 Eastern on Friday, which is 34.5 hours away.

[Halbarad]

##UNVOTE: Corwin

While crazed eye-eating immortals are worrisome, the lack of Reimu is more troubling.

##VOTE: Otter

##LOVE: Chen

She's so cute when she's asleep in my lap~

[Luther Lansfeld]

Still here, but not sure what to add. I love kitties though, like everyone else~

[Corwin]

It is quite the same for me as well, Ciato. However, it is not as if I could drop another vote on Andrew to mysteriously summon him faster. Maybe the shortening of the day would serve to augment the sense of urgency in the lurkers, day 1 or not.

[Tonfa]

Well, something has to be done, and that something is voting. As I have no particular reads(woo day 1), I'll vote for the one whose posts aggravate my headache.

##Vote: Smodge13

[Chisa]

##Vote: Andrew
Otter at least has the excuse of not being on the DL boards since before the game started.  You've been here.  Say stuff.

[QuietRain]

Well, I'm about to leave for work and will be in a class until noon.  Since I don't want the day to totally slip away from me, I'll go ahead and put in a vote here.  I'm not voting for the water mammal based on his non-posting yet because as has been said, he hasn't been around to post yet.  I will expect some movement soon, though.

And thanks for the shortening of the day, Kilga.  I think it really helps Day 1 for it to be not too long.  Day 1 is the only day where we're not going to get anything resembling a solid read on people so it's mostly a gut shoot at this point.

So, to the business at hand: ##Vote Andrew. 

[VySaika]

[joke]Hey, we're all at Reimu's house...that means her house is still standing!!! She's obviously the one doing it!!![/joke]

Seriously now, skimming back through the topic I don't see a single post from you, Otter. Fix it.

##Vote:Otter

[Luther Lansfeld]

The Otters are epically ditzy, these days.

[Otter]

I hadn't realized the game had started.  I also slept from 4 PM yesterday until 10 AM this morning, so that might have something to do with it.  Let me quote: "Otter at least has the excuse of not being on the DL boards since before the game started."  This is absolutely true.  I'm here now.

Anyway, let me clear something up for QR.  I -have- opined in the past that townies have no good reason to be uncivil.  Personal attacks and such impoliteness have a tendency to cause various dramas that distract everybody from focusing on the game, and what's more, these fights are usually between one townie and another.  On the flipside, if someone brazenly insults you for no good reason, you can be almost certain that they're doing it because they're scum and have the exact intention of causing this phenomenon; in other words, don't take it personally!  That's letting their strategy work, and what's more, the scum player is only doing it as a strategy anyway.

Note that "be polite" doesn't mean "don't accuse people."  That would be ridiculous.  But you can pick apart arguments and cast suspicion on someone as scum, even make a whole serious case on him, without simultaneously turning it into a dramatic personal struggle.  Please aim to do this.  Townies want to play aggressively, yet with civility and calmness.  Lots of communication helps us, but it's preferable for the communication to be clear and unmarred by personal melodramas.  Keeping your cool and concentrating on the task at hand is as important in Mafia as it is in Touhou!

In that spirit, I'm going to throw a semi-serious vote at Tom.  ##VOTE: EvilTom  What I'm looking at here is mostly the "And it's they're, not their."  Look, we can ALL point out ten mistakes in any of smodge's posts, and we've all told him that we'd really prefer if he'd improve grammatically.  However, he's -aware- of this already, and how he posts is up to him, and while greater clarity is always preferable, I think we're getting the gist of what he has to say anyhow.  Is this sort of passive-aggressive correction helpful to anyone?  I don't think so, and it's the sort of thing that creates rifts between players for no particularly good reason.

[VySaika]

Good enough for me. Just don't vanish on us, now. ##Unvote: Otter

Continuing with the usual mid day 1 LAL mentality, let's see if I can summon up ##Vote: Andrew

I would have been Chen in a heartbeat if SOMEONE wasn't a bastard mod and ruined it for me ;_;

This was your last post. Back on page 2. Come out and play Sakuya, everyone is here now!
