What's wrong with saying it before mentioning anything at all? If I said it other way round, would it not have tripped your scumdar? Care to give me a model solution so I could follow it all the time?
No. I don't expect you to be a carbon copy of anyone else. That would make this game predictable and boring. However, I do expect a less lackadaisical attitude from a townie than yours.
So I quote the following for its truth content:

The attitude you portrayed does not show that; it seems foolish and scum-like. Something scum-like coming from a townie is definitely ludicrous.. unless, of course, you're scum.
I also read Post 205 and I can understand your sentiment. Like you and Yos, I believe that the merits of such actions would probably be better discussed in gaming discussion thread.
However
, with regard to this game and Mafia in general, I ask you If you are going to sit back and do nothing in a game and wait for others to do it for you,
why are you playing the game in the first place
?
Some possible answers -
A] You enjoy the game and are a townie. In which case, I would expect you being more active and less laid back.
B] You enjoy the game and are scum and are being classic scum, which I suppose you shouldn't be doing since you disdain classical behaviours.
C] You don't care for the game and are just bored and want to post on some BBs.
Now I know that the third option is highly unlikely but it's good to cover it regardless.

The way I see it, you are limiting yourself to just Day 1 in a game.
While townies work alone, this is a team game where people, even dead, can count win if their faction wins.
Anything and everything you do will lead to further information, even if it kills you. Further information on how people responded to you during your trial.
Good play (on both sides, I suppose) would be a little more foresighted than emphasizing survival on day one. Survival is essential to enjoyment, yes. You should fight to survive in general. Yes. But fight. Don't sit back and like I said before, if in your fight you lose, there is still information to be had. In death, you can help your fellows.
This is why I don't think that a townie should be sitting back and doing nothing. It's a tad too selfish to be doing any good.

Now we switch you over to Obtuse Central

how uve reacted to it all is why im keeping my vote with you, and regardless of what u say u defended vtr when u had no real reason too, i for the time being think that was a mistake
I am not getting uptight over one vote.
I couldn't care tuppence for your vote.
What is annoying me is your idiotic determination to know what I'm doing when I'm giving you every possible explanation, which you are just not interested in accepting.
I really take you for an idiot if you think someone would be so blatantly obvious to defend a person
who had just replaced in
because they were scum mates. Perhaps you do it. I'm not so idiotic.
I thought that perhaps we were getting our wires crossed but I see now that you are just being mulish for the sake of it.
I have no truck with stupid people.
So forgive me if I don't pay much attention to what you say any more.
Unless you are receptive towards explanations and willing to look beyond tunnel vision and narrow views.
