But if we're all siting around waiting for someone to slip up then we're stuck in this boring party of the game. You don't force slip ups by questioning, you allow them to happen. If there are no questions noone will ever slip up.

@Mod: Please prod Cubesnail and buldesmar

Like right now? Instead of taking an active role in finding scum, you want to lay back and wait for someone to start a bandwagon to start for you to jump on. I highly doubt that it's the optimal way to find scum. It seems that you are scum who wants to wait for the town to start killing themselves.
UNVOTE: Buldesmar
VOTE: the Godfather
This vote is for you to explain the logic behind being passive rather than active.

For the most part I was waiting fr someone to slip up so then I could strike and post what I think and why. I'm not waitin for a bandwagon... Th reason I was waiting is because there was and still is not much I could get a read on

That's still solvable by getting proactive.

Okay, to take over your job of finding scumtells, or at least anti-town tells.
From my limited reading of games on this forum, RVS usually ends when someone succumbs to pressure and makes an obvious scumtell. Cheery Dog had his vote taken off because of a joke. I don't think that made a good reason to immediately take off someone's vote unless anorway is newbish and wants to look active. He is definitely more suspicious because of that.

Focusing on one player I understand, but why the replacement? There was a buldermar (or however you spell it) wagon going. I know he's receiving a prod now, but at that time he wasn't

do you have any input on Mr. Cage's/Kid A's case on me? What do you think of Nicholas Cage actively pursuing the case on me, while Kid A is hanging back and waiting?

I know buldermar. When he comes around, he won't feel that pressured. Replacements feel overwhelmed when they replace in and see a bunch of votes on them, which is good for us. It's also good to keep the pan nice and warm for while they are trying to get in their groove; sometimes true towniness shows through, sometimes scum bumble. You can't get that from a player who is already settled in.

I understand why kid A would make note of that and I do not think it is bad that he didn't place his vote but at the same time as a few others said one post ISNT full attack mode and even if it was it would be good to start with at least one "full attacker" to get the game moving...

I suppose you're right, I haven't been posting, but I've been active. Anyway, I can't find anyone particularly suspicious. I intend to vote when things more intense though. I think that voting in the first day is very risky because we have no suspicions and there really isn't any full intent from anyone to lynch. It might be a waste of a day, but we might be killing off a townie, which in turn makes the game just as short as it would be wasting a day.
I'll try to be more active. Sorry guys.

From my limited experience, not voting is considered anti-town because voting for someone allows them the chance to slip up. When I first started playing on this site, I thought the exact same thing. But, Day 1 voting isn't as random as you may think. I don't think that bandwagons will form unless someone is clearly scum.
Either way, even if someone does go to L-1, people say they intend to hammer to give time for claims, possible scum suspects, etc.

Well, so far, there hasn't really been anyone that seems scum like to me, and there hasn't been any bandwagons. It's difficult to point fingers without having anyone pointing fingers at you.

Why wouldn't he feel pressured? I hope buldermar doesn't leave us so he can either confirm or deny your opinion of his play.
I doubt it would make a big difference whether or not a player was settled in, especially considering the small amount of posts we have.

not pointing any fingers will generally get more fingers pointed at you. Such as mine is now pointed slightly your direction.
