Sigh. Ani and MZ, why vote mantis? She is following my suggestion, and DP put the first vote on ghat.

I'd FoS you both, but I fear you both think you are doing town good

[Mantisdreamz]

I'm inclined to agree with Higgs read on this game. My vote on gib was purely to get a reaction. He/she seems townish to me but I can't figure out why the "good luck" to Higgs was necessary.

unvote gib
vote Mantisdreamz
I like ani's rationale on this. Voting a non postser will likely end up killing off a town.

The reason why it's not a bad idea to vote someone who is quiet is because they can't help your team.

So -- as it stands - I know I win when [x] outnumbers the other teams.

Anyone can be [x] right now. So, it's risky to vote for anyone right now. But, even if the quiet person you voted was on your team, it's not like they're going to be much of a help. But -- when it comes down to it, you hope that chances are, they are not.

Personally, I'd like to get a person from the organized teams. They are the ones that know who their team mates are - so, don't have the risk factor that we have.

Voting a non postser will likely end up killing off a town.

This reasoning is flawed. You have no improved chance to get a town over a scum using the silent method.

sciencerob, I just might pull my vote off you... good town observation

FoS me all you like. Remember what happened the last time people voted silent players? Remember that? A vigilante or two got killed. Remember?

Yep.. I've thought about it and I can't let it go.

Ani, I'd FoS you but this crazy play is what you do when you're town

[Magicziggy]

Voting a non-poster is an easy way for scum to drop a vote.
I think that's ani's reasoning, and I agree.

[Animavore]

Yep. All scum have to do is wait until a town latches onto someone and then all pile their votes in while trying to look innocent.

Disagree.
Scum will drop a vote on a non-posting town player with the excuse that they are not contributing. It looks blameless.
I know this because I've done before when I was scum.

[irretating]

MZ and ani, then by that logic you should vote, or DP, before voting mantis. You're not being consistent.

[Animavore]

Not only that, innocent specials are sometimes quiet because they don't want to draw attention to themselves.

I seem to remember town lynching a special in a recent game because he was quiet.

[Animavore]

MZ and ani, then by that logic you should vote, or DP, before voting mantis. You're not being consistent.

Actually by my own logic scum would wait until a town has FoSsed someone then join the bandwagon as to keep their ass clean so no inconsistency what-so-ever.

MZ and ani, then by that logic you should vote ME, or DP, before voting mantis. You're not being consistent.

fixed my omission before

Actually, I should vote you to be consistent.
There is still an element of seeking a reaction in this. Nightfall is a way off.
My votes so far.

Irre, no reason, just to get a vote out
Gib, to get a reaction
Mantis, there is some validity in what ani was doing, so I followed it to apply pressure on Mantis.
