I would be interested to know how, exactly, we're supposed to get anyone lynched on Day 1 without "bandwagoning". As you say,
Short of someone with a Night 0 power coming forward with a scry result, most of today's accusations and counter-accusations and whatnot are going to be wild speculation. In this climate, lynches don't happen without "bandwagoning".
Since you seem to regard bandwagoning as a bad thing, does this mean you'd prefer a No Lynch vote?
You misunderstand what I am saying. Hard evidence from scries is good but not critical to making a decision, and when I say "band wagon" I am referring to people jumping on a vote with
seemingly little thought and consideration. Any vote that contains some reference to the
duration of day 1 is probably a band wagon vote. Any vote that has a
"sure why not" feel to the wording is probably a band wagon vote.
Not all day 1 votes are like this, and you could lynch someone
without having a flippant attitude about it. It kind of bothers me when there are players who act like day 1 is nothing but dart-throwing at a wall of names. But alas, there is at least one in every game it seems.
If you are going to vote alongside someone, say "You know what, you are right, that post was pretty suspicious! <bolded name>, what do you have to say for yourself?" rather than "Eh that makes sense and
I dont want today to take forever so
sure why not <bold name>" It is as much about
attitude and
conviction as it is anything else.
Yeah. You can have all this crazy math or follow your guts or whatever but just posting a bold name is the wrong way to go.
So while Newbie is all sorts of bad here, I'm throwing my vote for LaserBeing. You really shouldn't vote along with someone without seeing WHY they are voting, unless you happen to know what they are thinking because you are on the same team.
This is a good vote. The person making it shows that they are thinking, and have a clear reason for voting.
In that case Dizzy on the suspicions of being a weretiger.
This vote would be an okay vote, if it were the actual vote. The person has a reason for making the vote. Whether or not the reason is good is something that can be debated, but he has a reason even if he seems somewhat unconfident
In that case Dizzy on the suspicions of being a weretiger. That vote is as good as anyone else's right?
This, the actual full quote, is a bad vote. By saying "hey this vote is as good as any other vote" you basically tell everyone "I have no confidence in my vote I am just voting for the sake of voting.
Am I making any sense? I this turned into a much larger wall of text than I intended it to.
