Heh.  Ninja'd on the second part!

Well in that case what I said there fits into observation. What I meant by the underlined is more reffering to when I had my idea develloped.  Since that wasn't as clearly an observation or question.  I was showing though that even it holds one.  Which is why I'm not sure how what I did was that different from what you were saying I could do.

Answer: For the question of "who would you vote for now and why?", if I were not me I would myself being an easy target at this point.

Assumption: Jumping on the bandwagon would be easy, and cause day one to end. The main problem would be "mafia" could use that free lynch to make it easier to pick off active players during the night.

The town would be down two players.

Answer:  If I were myself would vote, I would vote for someone who seems to not questioning me too much.

I believe most of the town is or has already interrogated me, so not voting would be illogical at this point.

I would look at players who have not "FoS"ed me too much and seem to be avoiding me.

Also quick "throw away votes" would further suspcion for the player.

I'm back.

Disclaimer: I had about three hours of sleep last night.  Hopefully my thoughts will make sense.

Could be, but then the alternative is a wildly illocigal townie.  In which case he would be a scum's best friend.

They were allowed a single "I'm here" type of post as Day One started.  That was it.  I see that the way I worded that post looks funny, but if you look at the timestamps, you see that there really wasn't any discusion during the Day.

That is an interesting theory that you think Trucks let them talk during Day One this game, but I think it is highly unlikely.

two questions leg, and one statement:

a) completely objective perspective there are more suspicious people out there and i hope the cop picks up on that

Who then? You've only mentioned ABC. Additionally, you mentioned earlier that:

"I'm reading all your arguments the best I can, some of them seem redundant and some of them are valid but like I said, we all know (most of us) how to play smart and act dumb."

I'd like to know who you think those people are that you're implying are "playing dumb".

b) im hopeful that the scum will be found out easy enough so i dont HAVE to defend myself too much

So, in the event that scum aren't easy to find, you will have to defend yourself and aren't confident in that? That's what I would gather from you "hoping" that you don't have to defend yourself.

Lastly, and just a comment:

This is my game face. If you are my enemy, I will bring the hammer of justice down on you. I was not getting aggressive with you,(I know you didn't specify, but the implication was noted) I was just spelling out the bottom line. There is absolutely no vehemence, and no emotion involved period. 

I do feel for your situation fyi. I was homeless for 2 months 4 years ago when my landlord kicked us out and we were living paycheck to paycheck with no backup plan. I also went to college while holding two jobs during this period. Heph being a nice guy or not does not excuse him from actions, (which he is nice, btw) but even so, as I'm sure you will appreciate, this isn't the let's pity trashleg party. If he is covering for you, whether for sincerity or for personal gain, it's a loose end. You said it's not suspicious. OK. Why don't you tell me just who is suspcious then.

Who says a no lynch can only happen on Day One?  We can always no lynch later if the doctor saves someone.  That would give the cop an extra investigation, or give the town better odds of finding scum with their lynch.

However, if we no lynch now, and the doctor doesn't save anyone, then the town can only mislynch twice before we lose.  If we lynch everyday, and the doctor doesn't save anyone, then the town can mislynch three times before we lose.

Of course, this all assumes there is a doctor, which is not gauranteed.

proff, you don't lead the town by bullying people, you lead it by bringing forward investigations.

the bully type is, you know, the one asking money for protection, same as you seem to be asking people to fit your criterias to be safe. I would have though that with the appearance of more players of type (the ones that post a lot) you'd have turned more to the cooperative yet carefull side, not the "i'm boss do as I say".

HoS proff, you're trying to impose yourself by being the strong minded one here, you may think it fits your townie playstyle, but you're wrong, you're usually more subtile.
