I overreacted.Incognito wrote:Matt, I'm having a hard time with a lot of your posts. You seem to have this idea that too many votes on one person this early in the game is bad for any player. The number of votes you classify as being "too many" is a rather low number for this kind of set-up. We have 27 living players in this game and it takes one more than half the total number of living players to reach a lynch. This means that on Day 1 we need14 voteson one player in order to have that person lynched. The only time someone isreallyin any danger of reaching a lynch is when he or she begins reaching the L-2 and L-1 levels.
You, Battle Mage, and Rosso Carne each have 3 votes apiece and andersonw received some flak for playing the newbie card. Is there any reason you feel that the two players besides yourself shouldn't have the number of votes they've accumulated? Are they really in any real danger because they've accumulated 3 votes apiece? Further, how do you expect to gain information from players without getting a good, strong bandwagon going on them?
For the games I played in the past, L-2 and just 2 weren't far apart, maybe off by one vote. It isn't easy getting used to votes just being thrown around. And it's not the bandwagoning I'm against per se: It's the lack of discussion behind it. Battle Mage claimed miller. If he was scum, it seems fairly dumb. If he's town, he's trying to get the most out of whatever cops we may have left. The people who are actually discussing the issues I have no problem with. But there's been some votes that are just "I vote BM because he's scummy". And Rosso Carne is tired of people mentioning the cult recruiter. He's not the only one, but because he (probably) joked about killing people who continue the speculation of what "delayed" means, he got voted. Yeah, I don't think they should have as many votes as they do, but like you said, they aren't in danger, and overreacting again won't do any good.

Matt_S's removal of FOS to stop bandwagonning.
Do you find this constructive? I don't, and I didn't want to associate with it. And it isn't like I'm the only one against the bandwagon; curiouskarmadog is against it, too. The only difference is that he didn't have an FoS on BM. I could speculate on what he would do if he had FoS'd BM, but that wouldn't be helpful.Charity wrote: Vote: BattleMage Seems suspicious...
