I feel obliged to encourage everyone to read the first day of Newbie 12. It's important.

On a side note, it looks like everyone in the game is present....Yaw being the only true newbie to the site, and he's already posted. Sweet.

I just wanted everyone to be aware. I talked with Stimpy after the game, and I feel he will most likely give it his all this game, but who knows?.

Sigh. Stimpy, I know you're capable of english. I see what you're slaying, gslamm, but still....

FOS: gslamm
for pushing a really-easy-to-push bandwagon.

My suspicions:

Stimpy - Much more active and coherent in this game than in hsi others. Because he's mafia? Maybe.
Gslamm - Put the easy vote on Stimpy, perhaps figuring that his was the easiest banddwagon to start.
Gslamm - Put a second vote on Jaguar for a reason that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Morphus - The second vote on Yaw and then the quick unvote.

All in all, this leaves my best bet at

Unvote: Jaguar, Vote: Gslamm

Putting the first vote on someone is not starting a bandwagon. How would it be an easy bandwagon? Whats wrong with bandwagonning in the first place?
Well, nothing really, except that the mafia loves an easy bandwagon. A townie would be more prone to think "If Stimpy's the cop, I'd better not bandwagon him," where as a mafia would be more prone to think "I'll try to get people to rally behind Stimpy, and if he claims doc, I'll just unvote." At least in my opinion anyway.

Hm, I forgot Stimpy was in Newbie 7, actually. When I had said the line you're now quoting, I was thinking that we only had one sample of his game play.

Erratic is a good word for glsamm's behavior. I'm somewhat puzzled by it.

Note to self: FD thinks gslamm is innocent. Interesting.

I guess we need votes from the 3 non-voters, or an explanation of why they're not voting. I still like my vote where it is right now.

What the crap? I hate non-access on the weekends. Let me rant for a second of how
bad
an idea it was to lynch before I got back. I'll rant some more when the game is over...any more now would probably poison the rest of the game. :)

Okay, the continuation of my rant. :)

Killing me before I got a chance to post was a horrible idea. If I had been the cop, you would have lost the game right there. Suppose Jaguar and Morpheus are the mafia together. Jaguar comes out and says "I'm a cop, I know Morpheus is innocent." FD says "Oh, I'm a doc. It's pretty clear that the other 2 are mafia." And then the town loses. You
always
have to give time for someone to respond, just in case the claimed cop is actually the mafia.

And how did you know Stimpy wasn't the doc? Again, people started claiming FD as a "confirmed innocent." Why? Because he claimed doc first? If that were the case, it would be optimal mafia strategy to always claim doc at the start of day 2.

That said, well done town.
