At the point where we had nominations, you have to remember we had only random unrelated discussion and a few random or OMGUS nominations to go on anyway. On Day 1 start, there's not really all that much to discuss unless someone says something like "Hey guys, I'm scum! lolzors!" Seriously, with the amount that DoS had to go on, he really had only a few options:
1. Go with the people with the most votes (who were most likely chosen for the below-mentioned reasons)
2. Pick randomly
3. Nominate people for OMGUS reasons
4a. Nominate lurkers
4b. Have a secret hidden nazi agenda
This is pretty much the day one norm as far as I've ever seen. I think that you saying we should "watch out for him" is reading just a *little* too far into his actions. Just a thought, though.
Easy killer
I didn't say that we needed to watch out for him, please don't misinterpret my words. I agree with you, and sorry to DoS for making it seem otherwise, that Day 1 is usually a crap shoot. Even more so because we're on a limited time schedule.
However, I was pointing out the fact that despite that Day 1 IS a crap shoot, DoS nominated someone for a
specific reason
, and he went against the rest of the players nominations to do so. We had 3 players with 2 nominations each, and only one of them spoke up in defense against being the 2nd nominee (PuG), which to me means that one of the other two should have been the 2nd nominee along with Trabony. But they weren't, DoS went off to a player with only one vote.
With the limited amount of information we have, having something
specific
against another player, even something as simple as "he's lurking" needs to be examined, especially in light of the fact that the other nominee (Trabony) got no reasoning for his nomination, whereas Flare did (we're all assuming that it's because Trabony has 4 votes and is the standout votee for this round, which I'm happy to go with because it's a logical assumption). This implies motivation - whether for the stated reason or not remains to be determined. I'm not advocating that we come out of the gates Day 2 and lynch DoS because he nominated someone on his own Day 1, I'm saying that we shouldn't just overlook it because it could be important information for later.
