I disagree that bandwagonning for the sake of bandwagonning is some sort of scum-tell. PWS needed help putting a little pressure on JMar, so I helped gave a little push. I don't know if JMar is scum or town, so any information PWS gets out of him is good. Bandwagons can also provide a ton of suppositional information (such as reaction to pressure, who jumps on the bandwagon, who jumps off, etc..). Not everyone plays the same way you do and holds back their vote until they are positive of their choice.Mirth wrote:Your wagoning of Jmar (I'd like to know why y'all think Jmar is being being scummy, please?), wagoning for the sake of wagoning, jumping on Originality for unvoting, and some crap logic.

For the same reason you're better off not voting for a third-party candidate in the American Presidential Elections. You have no chance of success, your vote is mainly to say "I support voting for this guy in the future, where I hope there will be more support for him, and eventually we can get him in."Mirth wrote:Why do you say so?

And this is why my vote is staying on you...you're discouraging thought. We have two weeks. Two weeks is more than enough time to swing another bandwagon, given there is enough evidence for it, so if anyone has any suspicions besides you and JMar, they should voice them. You also, obviously, did not read game rules:Peers wrote:For the same reason you're better off not voting for a third-party candidate in the American Presidential Elections.

Right now, unless there's a huge swing towards someone else, either jmar or myself is being lynched. I don't think this town is stupid enough to do a day-one no-lynch, and there isn't enough evidence or arguments for the town to go after anyone else... at least, not to the point of getting enough votes. A third candidate for lynching will only take votes away from the other two, and most likely cause a no-lynch.
I'm not saying "Don't vote for someone else". I'm just saying, unless you really think you have a strong enough argument to get people to unvote from jmar and me, it's not going to do the town any good. Personally? i'd love to hear a good case that gets people to unvote from me, but it's day one... I don't think there's enough action out there to make such a case. If someone can prove me wrong, please do.
We don't infact, need seven for a lynch.petroleumjelly wrote:Jelly's Rules
Rules On what is Allowable:
[05] When a deadline has been placed, I will require only a majority of what would normally be a majority for a lynch (i.e. 7 players needs 4 to lynch, so I would require 3 to lynch in such a scenario). If this number is not reached, day will end in no-lynch, and the game will progress directly into night. If the town is in a Lynch-or-Lose situation, however, there will be no lowered requirements for lynching.

Best I can find without rereading the whole thread is in post 357 he seems to take offense to your voting for me over the whole "theoretical power role" thing. So it looks like the bandwagon against you may be due to a playstyle difference more than anything else due to the lack of anyone actually doing anything yet.jmar wrote:Still waiting for my question to be answered, but thank you, PlaysWithSquirrels, for your continuing lack of adding anything valuable to this game.
