What can we infer from a lynched townie on day one?  Not much as last game proved.

 

What can we infer from a bunch of night actions?

A Cop can find scum or clear someone.

A Tracker or Watcher can see the scum kill.

As townies, we can look for hints because somebody might know something.

Right now, nobody knows nothin'.

 

The thing about RVS is that hints pop up now. If you had your way (everybody let's all vote nolynch), we'd be playing by night start, which is an inherent advantage to the scum. (A day cycle is an advantage to town, generally speaking.) 

 

I am not advocating a random lynch, which is what transpired last game. A hurried lynch is just as bad as a nolynch (slightly worse, probably). We should use our time to deliberate.

 

Won't the tracker/watcher also pick up other night actions that aren't kills? And it is very likely that scum pulls off their kill at night, so nights are worse for town, unless the setup is massively imbalanced.

Day 1 is great for judging activity and sharing poetry.

 

It also gives me a basis to say "I told you so".

[Commander Shepard]

You can however be quite wrong.

I hear reasonable conclusions is grounds for lynching. Speak with care.

you know what for the sake of the townies staying alive with out a night I am willing to put my head in said lynching rope and make said lynch quick and easy.

No, that would just be silly.

Is this the strategy we will take moving forward.

you really should stop it

This game doesn't look like it will be much fun from what i have seen so far

Probably but it is impossible to not say anything about that subject given what he said in his last post.

It's better to get rid of any baggage at the start.

See Kevin, people are already beginning to take sides. Who says Day 1 voting is a bad thing. I've already deduced that a couple people are not allied to Commander Shepherd. Just think how much more we could learn if we actually lynched someone.

[Electric Mango]

Also Im guessing that k33ps is probably a townie as well. If everyone voted no lynch all of this information would be lost.

YAY I'm going starting to make a comeback in the votes. Oh wait that's a bad thing. lol

tons of WIFOM!

 

I don't really see why we need to go for a policy lynch this early.

Look, I think a lot of false correlation is being made here that would make inaccurate information just as bad as no information. But I digress, because listen, I'm only doing what has been most common in all the mafia games I've played. And that's no lynch on the first night. That was it, not greater schemes at play here. I mean, sure I could say, "whelp, short straw, lynch me and be wrong; greater good yadda yadda yadda..." but I like to actually play this game

 

So like anyone I make a case. Especially since you pointed out about voting patterns, I ask ya, "what I'd do? What pattern have I provided to incur the bandwagoning of so many?"

 

It's purely random, and from the tone it seems to have incurred from some of the players, entirely personal. Should I curtail reasoning to ad hominems? I ask again, "what reasoning?"

[AngelCruzdelaSant]

I think it may be because you immediately said "No Lynch!" as soon as the game started. People could easily interpret this as scum trying to make the town put itself at a disadvantage. Once a few people vote for you, others feel justified in doing it.
