I agree wholeheartedly. Why anyone would ask for a wagon and then snap at the first person to join them is beyond me. Especially during what was SUPPOSED to be an RVP.

So, without further delay, here's my first real vote.


UNVOTE: BBT
VOTE: ADK


This does seem quite strange but why would he snap at the first person joining, unless he wanted to make a counterwaggon on that person?

Why? What's wrong with asking people to explain their votes? Do you think it's a good wagon?


He seems very defensive (hiding something?) but it is only his 5th post.

@ADK / @Anyone on first game
Have you read any newbie games start to finish? If you haven't I'd recommend it. It would of helped me in my first game tremendously if I'd done it at the start

By lock you mean confirm a lynch right? I had always thought L-x meant lynch - X. Anyway its nice to have an IC post this game last game never really got one.

Also the only people I 'know' would be BBT as he replaced into ma first game (then got fairly quickly lynched) and I've read though one game with Drixx in it before.


Each vote count will tell you how many votes it takes to lynch. The vote that hits that number "locks" the lynch. At that point, the lynch cannot be undone.


Which game did you read of mine?

@Luna,
This is my first game ever on this site! I don't quit easily, too, so while I can't say what the future holds, I wouldn't worry about me replacing out. I plan on riding this horsey from start to finish!

With that said, I didn't know about getting locked in a vote! It seems waaaaay too soon to get hammered in a vote, so I'm going to remove my vote in hopes of keeping people talking, and will instead point a Hand of Suspicion at them.


UNVOTE: ADK

You should absolutely keep your vote on ADK.

There is no reason to unvote. People will talk whether you're voting or not.

The wagon is a good one and it got at least two reactions that I'd like to explore.

@ADK

What reactions did you get to saying "let's start a wagon" and what do you make of them? Also, why did you ask BBT to explain his vote specifically?

@New Luna Republic

Why did you address your RQS to ADK only? What do you make of his reactions to BBT?

EDIT:
@Rubixxx

What's this about replacing out? Are you still suspicious of ADK and if so why remove your vote?

EDIT AGAIN:
BBT is correct that we are not in danger of running out of things to discuss here.

@Dier,
no, I'm waaaay suspicious of ADK, but seeing as it only takes 5 people to lynch, I don't want to risk getting locked in a position when we could still be taking the time to look around and find who his buddy is! Or, in the unlikely off-chance of him being innocent, the
real scum!!!


That's my thinking, anyways. They're still at the top of my list, though! In fact, they ARE the list.

I mean, I don't know why you feel 'locked' into a vote when you just unvoted quite easily.

I don't get where you're coming from.

Well, I didn't want to risk getting locked in later. For example, at that time, ADK had 3 votes on them already, and the amount to get lynched was only at five! So it was totally possible that I could have gone to dinner or something and came back to see two more people joined the wagon, and boom! Hammered in (am I using that phrase right?) on page 2, only hours after the day started.

I didn't want that, so I removed my vote just in case I wanted to look around more! Does that explain my thinking a little better?

@Drixx
I'll grab the game up tomorrow on PC (Just been using phone thus far this game) I think it might have been one with a scum player called clusk in it iirc.

@Dierfire
I'll answer that tomorrow (unless I can't sleep right now) as doing every multiquotes and trying to remember what the questions where is a bitch.

I was looking for reactions to the wagon. I didn't "snap" at Garret, I merely questioned why he voted with me with zero reason or comments.

And I prefer to get out of RVS and into the game as quickly as possible.

Well I'm inclined to think BBT is town based on his pressuring of me since that looks like genuine scumhunting. I originally asked him to explain his vote since he voted without explanation and wanted to know what he was thinking. I have a slight scum read on rubix for sleeping BBT.

, aw shucks. I appreciate it, though I can't say for certain how I feel about you yet! Meaning your alignment, of course. I'm sure you as a person are the bee's knees!

No prob, I know how it is! I'm phone posting, too. :P

But in my defense, I wasn't sheeping BBT. We both voted for you, yes, and for the same reason, but I wasnvt following blindly. I gave my reason for suspecting you as well. And I even took back my vote because I didn't want to give potential scum an easy lynch without some resistance.

Again, just because we came to the same conclusion, it doesn't mean I'm being a blind follower! Under that logic, why not suspect Drixx as well, the source of the third vote against you?

@Rubixxx - Can you post without using a special color? The color you've chosen is difficult to read in the mafblue theme, and I suspect it would also be hard on the eyes in the dark theme. I don't think there's any rule or anything, but I would suggest saving color for emphasis instead of using it all the time.

( PEdit: @Drixx: Hmmmm... I was planning to use this as my character color. It looks fine in the black layout, but you're right, I should have tested the other themes before settling on it. I'll fix it ASAP. )
