IM RIDING THE OAK TRAIN TILL THE END. CHOO CHOO.

Seriously the votes on fiesta are in poor taste. He stated a fact, didn't day 0 soft claim somebody else. Gmk and nottykitten, I wouldn't expect you two to jump around with your votes like this so much. So either you're intentionally playing like this, or something is up.

About Swate:

Swate votes for Tim without giving any reason. He just tagged him to see what Tim has to say. It seems more like a BW for me. I've always said you need to have your own opinion about things instead of being a follower.

But later he changed his vote to a No Lynch. He didn't even waited for Tim to give his two cents.

And later he says he's also leaning to change his vote for OldManOak.

--> This just tells me Swate is going with the flow. He's not really making sense to me. I feel like he's just leaning towards whatever other people are leaning to.
Mhm, this is definitely me. I still consider myself quite new to Mafia (obviously, since I've only played Plane Troubles and absolutely nothing else ever) and as such I tend to just sort of ride off of other more experienced players, like a glider with thermals, but when I find something I am confident with then I spring up.
I only voted for Tim because everyone else seemed to be doing that. I still am not 100% sure if a no-lynch is the best option, but I am sticking with it (for now) out of a combination of the statistics provided by Fiesta and it being a familiar approach to me (since we did it in the only game I've played yet.) Ooglie, there is nothing suspicious about me :x I was just sort of mimicking everyone else.

For the record, and for the heck of saying it again here to make it easy for thread-readers, I still see OMO as the most suspicious.

Hey actually, shit, I just thought of something. What if the people voting for me are trying to cause havoc by toying with me ;_; and I'm taking it so seriously, fsdbgsyfsf

That's basically the whole point of mafia. Try to make people stressed or something, make them make a mistake and pick them out for it. It's something mafia generally do so they can make themselves look as if they're helping the town. It also comes with a bad side because when you turn up innocent (assuming you're innocent, currently getting town-tell off you) it makes the person who pushed a lynch on you look suspicious.

Anyway I'm in math so I should be learning about surds n' shit
I don't think that there's going to be anything more really from me for the rest of the day unless there's something I really believe in.

I actually see both sides of the argument, but I think that we are overthinking things too much. This is just Day 0, what do you expect, some scum to have a careless word slip and bam we find out the whole anti-town? I'm pretty disappointed in those who are making a fuss out of a single sentence or word someone said and immediately hopping onto the bandwagon train. I'm going to be frank - it either makes you look like a fool, or it makes you look especially eager to lynch someone.

I'm initially in for the classic no-lynch. However I do think lynching has its merits as well. I'm going to see how this day turns out first.

The more I think about lynch vs No-lynch, the more I think that we should lynch someone. I'm not going to bore you by repeating all of the arguments that have already been said, but no-lynching is something I don't think we should do. However, I do not want a random lynch. I don't want a reasonless bandwagon.

Lynching is more likely to hurt those filthy sea dogs than it is our quaint little desert town. Unless we hit an important town pr, which I don't really think will happen....unless Prizyms decided he also hated vanilla townies like GmK....hell, we could even have multiple cops, docs, ect....Nothing is really out of the question...except no-lynching

Okay, I've already stated that I'm pretty impulsive and impatient in getting a move on but I'm gonna.. gonna try not to do that.

I think that Jeer has summed up what I feel pretty much. I sorta feel like just unvoting and staying neutral for now but eh, that's boring.

You are aware that this is a game about voting, and all else is fancy decoration around it? So if you are disappointed in people voting (especially since on of the votes is a clearly stated policy vote that has nothing to do with that person being scum or not) you are actually disappointed in people playing the game the way it should be? Oh well.

I could return that I am disappointed with people just contributing blubber blubber blubber we need to be nice to each other blubber blubber blubber, but meh...

Says the person voting for someone for a statement he based on things other people had said in the thread before him ;)

Notty and Swate were clearly RVS, with Swate being actually suspicious, and Fiesta is policy as a warning shot.

Of course I am intentionally playing like this, why would I unintentionally do these things?
