As if they need that. No, you just have to make people think you're good. A good way would be, say, having a 2002 join date. Automatic assumption of calm, rock solid Glorkitude.

You've reached that age, Listy. 24, 25...Your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag of surrender and without any warning at all, you're suddenly a fat bastard...
Darox's ISO doesnt look good. Almost no content at all.
Still, I'll be voting Internet Stranger tonight.
Feel that Ace and Junepi are almost definitely town.
IS and Darox dodgy. Unsure about everyon else.

Nah, just most of you.
Pssh. Join dates can die. I once invited a friend of mine over to another forum I play at, and despite being brand new to the site, he managed to control the whole game until his death via copping.
I've been playing for 2 and a half years, yet my join date is like this month.
I don't have anything to put here because my normal signature is images. Weeeeee.
Darox seems to miscue is own preachings (as pointed out by TehBrawlGuy), encourage anti-town behavior (which he hides behind his mask of VI), and acts like he is really good (another mask of VI play). Also the AtE calling Pads bad at mafia after he suspects him is lolwhat. Not to mention Darox said
"I PLAY LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME AND NEVER GET LYNCHED FOR IT, SO U DONT BE LYNCH ME FOR IT !".
Needless to say that logic is very very flawed.
The melody of logic always plays the notes of truth.
Makes sense, right? Anyway, I agree that it is very likely that all/most of the scum are lurking in the shadows, it is too easy.
On the other hand, at least 1 scum is likely active, as with so many lurkers, it'd be tough for town to commit to killing off a more active player for the sake of conversation.
Hiplop, do you ever plan to be more useful than you are right now?
@MOD: Will we be seeing just the final vote tally, or will we have access to the PM'd vote history, including unvotes?
Only the final vote count. I can explain why at the end of the game.
I'm hoping the latter, and I wanted to wait until near end of day to comment on it, since it would be too late to construct a vote history . It's possible that we might be able to pick up a slight scumtell from the first day, as if the scum would potentially have their own channel to communicate, and not much need to move their lynch votes around.

Pads, in your zealotry, I think youre conjuring up conspiracy theories. You making it sound like im lurking in the shadows all teeheehee and shit and as soon as my name is mentioned I come out of nowhere and drop the sledgehammer oneverything. Sowing all sorts of chaos, confusion and mayhem and daring all comers to "come at me, bro". Then Pads get to put on his little White Knight cape, makes a bunch of declarations that most of us agree only benefit the scum and swoops in to save the day from the person Pads propped up to be scum in the first place.
Im not buying it Pads. Youre just trying to use me to make yourself look even more like a White Knight.
Youre also a hypocrite. You claim that the idea of not making public intentions of votes good so that the scum dont have easy wagons to hide under. Dont forget, the scum knows who the innocents are. Then what do you do? Join the "holy shit, scumbags!" cheerleading brigade in making your intentions to the scum known. I am willing to bet that one of these vocal people still spitting out voting declarations is scum. Shit, even Junpei came to his senses and gets it.
Youre also wrong about the last 48 hours Pads. I guess you arent as good as you think you are because there is already a TON of info in this game to make some really damn good determinations on who is scum or not. The VCA tomorrow would be telling us A LOT, but not if you clowns keep calling for my head. Erroneously I might add. Pads can make all the glossary term claims that he wants, but the bullshit scumlurking theory is the most bullshit of them all.
So tell me this Pads. What do you think scum are doing right now? Whats their plan of action? Are they going to pile onto me, thanks to you and the unthinking army? Or will they spread their votes around now? Will they gang up on someone else instead? Just like how I asked your buddy Ace (who conveniently never answered me) whats YOUR plan Pads? Oh great White Knight, how are YOU going to save us all?

The town was pretty indecisive about who should be lynched. It was clear no one really knew whom to trust, but when the ballots were counted, there was at least one person at the top of the pile.
"You fools! Why would you vote for me? All I have done is tell you the best strategy. You are playing right into the scum's hands!" said Internet Stranger.
"Well, you're scum, so we're going to lynch you," said ace5993.
"You don't know that! How can you be--" Internet Stranger gargled before choking to death.
After he stopped twitching, you checked his pockets for any signs of his alignment. You found a small firearm.
Hey nice work guys! Right I'm sheeping ace for the rest of the game lets hope that wasn't some bizarre bus lol
You've reached that age, Listy. 24, 25...Your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag of surrender and without any warning at all, you're suddenly a fat bastard...
I want to broach this subject now: Did anyone else vote Whiskers at any point during the course of Day 1? I have a sneaking suspicion that there's a nightkill mechanic at work here that is out of the ordinary...

He then looks around, sees that no deer are nearby, then tells us our camo is worthless and our stealthy approach sucks.

With how much IS fearmongered our 'white knights', I wouldn't be surprised. Ace still gets a bunch of Town points, but I'm not even close to writing him off as obv. town yet.
Darox and Hiplop are still dead weight. They are why I love games with vigils in them. Darox would at least be entertaining if he had douchebag play down well, but alas....
I don't have anything to put here because my normal signature is images. Weeeeee.
TehBrawlGuy and mozamis both read heavily town for simply being on the IS wagon. I do not think scum would have gone for an IS vote knowing full well that there was a definite possibility he would be lynched, especially in a game where a 3-man wagon got the lynch.
Additionally mozamis is confirmed town because with IS looking like he'd have a couple votes on him there's NO WAY IS would throw his vote towards a bus.
Pads - INCONSISTENCY. Only posts on mozamis were saying "not sure one way or another" followed by "I'm giving mozamis a pass today for posting content". His suspects were ThirdKoopa and Darox. Huh? Rather he votes with IS-scum (as a possible IS counterwagon attempt?). Heavily leaning scum.
Darox - Refusal to analyze the vote count, which was supposed to be his main source of scumhunting, is just fucking terrible. He's still refusing to basically do anything at all. This is not VI play, it looks WAY more like calculated scum play. Heavily leaning scum.
Wasabi - Confirmed town, his comment today doesn't make sense from a scum standpoint.
Otolia - Probably town. Don't like his gameplay views but he posted alright content and the vote on wasabi makes sense.
hiplop - Scummy - relying solely on "META" arguments and really not doing a damn thing yesterday. Not as scummy as Pads or Darox but still leaning scum.
Junpei - Good content and I can definitely sympathize with the vote on hiplop. Town.
VisceraEyes - Meh, generally reads as town. I didn't really like his defense when Darox attacked him but his playstyle tends toward extreme overreactions anyway so I'm willing to overlook that.
ThirdKoopa - No read.
Would lynch either Pads or Darox immediately if possible.

We got blanket rejections, fearmongering, chainsaw defenses of the lurkers, ad hominems, and appeals to emotion. Where do I start? Nowhere, excpet to say that a vote on him is starting to look like something great.
Wait WHAT THE FUCK? This was the last thing Pads posted with any vote or read on someone.
Unvote, VOTE: PADS
Everything else can wait, this is the lynch for today.
