Night 1 / Day 2

[CatInASuit]

The first day is now over, you may strategise and decide which of the townsfolk you desire to be torn to shreds.

Winston, if you don't my saying, you're playing with fire.

Kitty-mod, do we need to designate a killer?[/color]

[CatInASuit]

Nope, you just need to nominate your evening meal.

It will be a pack kill denoted by

Lunch townie

Aaaaand the question of the Night - anybody got a sniff of a Doc? I'd love to be able to think that our Doc doesn't trust PCM.

Risky, though.

Now that the cop is in the open, who wants to draw fire and claim doc tomorrow? Hostile, you probably pulled the most heat, wanna see if you can spark a counterclaim?

I know. I'm a shit stirrer in these games

Interesting idea.

I'm really worried about how Day 1 turned out. I really didn't want to be the winner. Not only am I next in the voting order anyway, jali's "I'm town, so you must be scum" thing was true and everyone has good reason to believe it now. Even worse, Kid V voted with me, so he'll be drawing heat too. The only good news is that Revenant Threshold might draw fire too, but that's a small comfort, because the only other voter was PCM, who I think everyone believes. Also, it's kind of nice that the doc no longer has the option of protecting one of the better players.

I'll need to hear some strategy on why it's a good idea to claim doc (sounds risky), and I'd also like to hear all you guys' arguments on who to eat and why before I make my decision.

Also, if y'all don't mind, I'd appreciate some coaching on how to pull a little less heat toMorrow. I have a feeling I'm going to be the prime suspect.

So far I'm thinking:

Definitely Don't Eat
------------------------
Precambrian Mollusc - I got the feeling from that thread that everyone believed him. Plus, he's not the brightest bulb, and I don't think he could convince them if it weren't actually true. I would only advocate going after him if someone had openly pointed FOS at him in the thread, and we had a hint that that someone was the doc.

Julie, RoOsh, DaphneBlack - It's just going to be way too suspicious if we go after one of my rivals in the thread.

Revenant Threshold - He's a little suspicious, so we need to keep him alive as long as people think he's one of us.

Maybe Eat
--------------

storyteller - same reason as before, he's too good, although it's a little odd that he never cast a vote...

NAF1138 - again, too good, but he's bumbling enough that it might be worth letting him be.

I don't see any doc tells (although, maybe I wouldn't recognize them) and I think eating anyone I haven't mentioned wouldn't accomplish much. We don't need to prove that fisheroo is Town, especially since he probably looks a little worse for his scuffle with jali. Inner Stickler is still suspicious for lurking, something we might be able to ham up toMorrow. Both of these objections also go for Bear_Nenno. And I refuse to waste a perfectly good kill on PCM.

What say you?

[winston]

there's something to be said for going after one of the less chatty players you mentioned - bear nanno is a decent candidate. it would confuse the townies, I think. if we go after story, I think it will draw heat on me. might not be a bad idea, as that would

I'm not at all worried about my vote position. I opened the voting on Jali, that won't be seen as scummy. You should be good, too, Hostile, you've got a classic self-defense vote there. Jali's parting shot is nonsense, and everyone will know it.

I'll need to hear some strategy on why it's a good idea to claim doc (sounds risky), and I'd also like to hear all you guys' arguments on who to eat and why before I make my decision.

The idea is that a Doc claim might draw a counterclaim from the real Doc, who is all thats stopping us from popping PCM right now. Whoever does claim Doc won't be lynchable until/unless there's a counterclaim, so if you're drawing too much heat tomorrow, that'll either get you out of the fire, or give us a Doc, which is a good trade at this point. Time it for roughly 2 real days before Dusk if you do.

Lay low. Don't neglect direct questions or accusations, but don't stick yourself out there, either. Town generally has the attention span of a retarded rock... if you can keep them from fixating on you, they'll wander off. Whatever you do, don't try to redirect attention or you'll be setting off scumdars right and left. Just be cool, daddio, most lynches are no better than random until Day Three. Keep your head down and you won't have any problems.

Or, work to the Doc claim, if you want. If you don't, I might. Fun is more important than winning, in my mind.

Other than PCM, the only folks on our Don't Eat list are the lynchables. That's Revenant, Stickler, Daphne, and Fisheroo. If I thought killing Roosh was better than Storyteller, I'd do it in a heartbeat... killing the guys who are after you is so obvious a play that they'll WIFOM it to death... "what if the scum want us to think they're protecting HD", etc.

That's my 2 cents, anyway.

I wouldn't worry about that. Honestly, if I was Town and Story showed up dead in the morning, my first though would be that someone was trying to pin something on you.

Some of the newer players might not go there right away, but we can lead them that way real easy.

Not saying that Story is necessarily our best target, just I don't see a point in ruling him out.

I just don't get why the real Doc would claim unless the fingers are pointing at him. Nobody can protect him except himself, so he'd just be opening himself up as a new scum target. If it's bad Town strategy, I think emulating it would just make people suspicious of me.

Thanks for the tips.

The nice thing about the storyteller kill is that we can play it both ways. I mean, personally, if people start suspecting it's about Winston, I'll tell them exactly why I picked Story. I won't tell them that it was me, obviously, but I'll tell them the reason, as if I'm just suspecting it as a townie: storyteller is too good at figuring shit out and has leadership potential, which is dangerous to the scum. My Town character doesn't give a rat's patootie about Winston, he just sees a clear non-Winston-related reason to kill storyteller. And Winston can defend himself with WIFOM.

[hostiledialect]

I just got an idea.

Now, keep in mind, this is just an idea, just something to bounce off y'all and get your opinions on.

What if we actually leave another note pinned to storyteller's chest saying that we killed him for voting for Winston? It might generate a WIFOM that totally absolves Winston because it's Just Too Obvious. Does anyone think this might work, or am I crazy?

Well, that'd be the point. Draw the heat on purpose by acting scummy, or just keep the option in reserve in case you draw heat anyway. You're right that it doesn't work if you're not under pressure.

I don't think we can do that.
