I think I missed this, and just now caught it as I went through to do the aforementioned detailed analysis. I don't like
truly
random voting because I feel it is pointless and misleading. Instead of providing useful information, as my first post attempted to do, it instead allows scum a chance to use the excuse of random voting as a shield to hide their first mistake behind. I would rather have the first round of posts be introductions and announcement of play styles, as I did. This provides some solid information that can be fact-checked against the player's history where applicable (i.e. go to my Newbie thread, you'll see the same play style there, and same on the Myth-weavers.com Game 4A, wherein I was a Cop.)

Vote: GreyICE.
These seem not to match up, Calcifer. Care to explain?
Preview Edit: It occurred to me that this might have been Nachomamma finally making himself known on the Calcifer Hydra. Challenge not retracted, however, as with a hydra, I feel it is easy to pass little mistakes off as the fault of the other head. Explain, please.

In what way is explaining suspicions anti-Town? If they're genuine and well-founded, then by all means share your reasons. If they aren't founded in some sort of reasoning, then making that list was a rather scummy thing to do. In my book, pointing fingers without explanation is a scum tactic. For that matter, asserting that an individual is Town or probably Town without backing it up, or defending anyone without obvious reasons this early in the game, is just as suspicious.

You both have Friend in your sights already, but aren't providing any reasons. Please do so.
My reasoning was given. Friend is trying to look town.

That's your reason? Among the few things more suspicious than pointing fingers without good reason at this stage of the game is pointing fingers without good reason, and standing by those inadequate reasons. If this were a later Day Phase, I'd think you might be a cop with a guilty result and an inept way of going about executing it. But it's Day One. Provide a good reason. There's no 'or unvote' attached to that, by the way, it's hard to believe that someone would stick to an RVS vote without a reason, and I would like to hear yours.

My god man, take a minute or two and edit your post down into something that makes sense. I've been diagnosed with ADD, that doesn't mean you have to inflict rambling wallposts on the world
I am not Mastin. Correlation does not imply causality.
Anyway, I'll just Vote: No Lynch because I've done it a few times and Mastin is metaing me, so he should see that I'm town when I do it
As much as I can understand fucking with someone's head, a No Lynch vote is just...I'm not sure there's a good word for it. Given the explanation, I'm inclined to not think it as scummy as I would otherwise, but...No Lynch isn't a good thing for Town.

I'll post TL;DR summaries when it occurs to me to do so.
Good boy!
I am not your dog. You may be confusing the wolf pup in your avatar with me. Additionally, I may be new to these boards, but I don't appreciate being talked down to.
I think that's all for now. Posts, votes, and discussions not critically assessed were deemed either empty, pointless, or already-addressed. Please note again my distaste for genuinely random voting. Also, if I have yet to comment on you, it is probably because I don't feel your posts thus far were noteworthy. Please contribute. It is only through analysis and discussion that the Town can reliably root out filth, and if you don't participate, you're not helping us towards our WinCon. And only ~1/3 of us want that, and I think you know which third I mean.

Sorry folks, no TL;DR summary. In-depth analyses like this rarely will contain them, because a full enumeration of the points for and against those involved is more-or-less the point.
