Alright sorry for a delay in posting, been studying for and taking the SAT the last two days. Anyway here we go. tl;dr at bottom.

- You were quick to vote for a No Lynch, yet you don't often do this D1. If I told you that we have three mislynches before we lose, would that change you mind? I ask because you seem stuck on the fact that we only have one available mislynch when that's far from the truth.
- How many games of mafia have you played outside of MS?
1. In the places I've come from, No Lynching is standard practice on Day 1. And no, mislynching without gaining useful information (which in my experience is what tends to happen almost all the time on D1 lynches). Also, by my count we only have two mislynches before we get to LyLo. And no still doesn't change my mind because in my view a worthless lynch is more harmful than one in which we can prove or disprove claims. Also yes, I don't know why but I was thinking it was a game of 7 rather than a game of 9.
2. Well, every weekday during lunch I play 1-3 games, on Wednesdays 3-5 after school, a random amount of IRC based games throughout the week, and occasionally online in forums. So... a lot?
3. Also since you seem to be asking this to a lot of people, I'm from Washington. State, not DC. Just didn't wanna feel left out ;_;
For the useless info, I'll point to the discussion between you and DBE. You seem to be reaction testing, and a supposed reaction has been produced from DBE. Now you could use this to press a case against DBE and let's assume we did try to lynch her (not that I support this). What does she have to claim that we can either prove or disprove at this point beyond her role? Nothing besides her words, which are not yet plentiful or sided enough to put any pressure on new people.
Some of this nl support comes from the fact that I usually start with a night and am not used to having a lynch OPTION, let alone a lynch.

Yes. It is not unusual for me to lynch someone (even if I'm sure they're town) because what they're saying is tricky, wifomy, and generally harmful to town. Although I tend to use this mostly during our last possible mislynch.

he'd already given up.
What exactly is that supposed to mean?
I read it as a joke. "hahaha french people surrender hurhurhur" Although seriously, over-analyzing syntax and diction is rarely profitable in the early game, and in my opinion falls under what I said above. Of course, I tend to play by analyzing overall strategy and subsequent slips rather than individual posts. I will almost never lynch someone because of a single sentence or paragraph.
tl;dr: I nl D1 because I don't think any useful information comes out of rl, I'm not used to it, and because it seems foolish to me. Don't purposely be tricky, it will get me on your wagon like nothing else. Also, analysis of word choice tends to be worthless (for me at least, if it works for you go ahead).
