I would vote SSV right now. What a convenient excuse that your phone has no charge. You were saying a while ago that you'd have to be on your phone, so why isn't it charged?

I don't like it, either. A lurker hang is better than a no-hang, but it doesn't tell us anything, and we have three lurkers -- why EXAKT out of the three?

I would vote out any lurker at any point and that has always been my stance. D1 vote like this one are always just a gamble, so it might as well be someone who most likely isn't going to be posting in the future.

This D1 has been very quiet, so none of the votes are really going to tell us anything.

I can actually agree that it's weird of Anidav to come in and make a post that implies he is vanilla and then excuses himself from making any actual reads.

What's there to read? There's no rabbit in the hat here. We have a conga line of lurkers, a stolen car and a vote stealer(?). Any vote we make is equally as useful as the previous. However having vocal people survive for day 2 is more useful as you can actually compare posts from previous days. A day 1 lurker is empty space and the less empty space there is the more likely we can paint scum into a corner.

This is actually why I'm not against lynching lurkers on D1. Sure, it may make D2 (and possibly the rest of the game) slightly harder, but at the same time it does make it harder for scum to lurk through D1.

So you know what, I'm going back to the lurker.

Everyone move to Exakt. Lurking has become a huge problem in games lately and the way to deal with it is unfortunately to make current games harder by making a statement and lynching lurkers early in the game.

That doesn't help us win this actual game, which I would like to do.

Can we shift it from EXAKT to iajanus? He was one of the other lurkers and his pop-up post is pretty bad. I could get behind that.

I would switch to iajanus, but I could very well hold this post against you if Exakt turns up scum.

Understood. Similarly, if Anidav is scum, this last-minute push to EXAKT is going to look awful.

Honestly I feel like EXAKT is less likely to be scum because surely, a scumbro would have pointed him/her to the thread by now. But I'll ##vote EXAKT since it seems like that's the only viable option.

Immediately as the day starts you suggest a chain lynch?

Yeah. We had a good lynch lined up on Exakt and iajanus prevented it. Whether it was simply a mistake or intentional is up in the air, so I'd rather lynch the lurker and use that information to make a real determination on iajanus.

Just because I suggest a lynch order doesn't mean that's how it's going to play out.

And, of course, it should be noted that I'm willing to hold off on lynching Exakt if better targets present themselves. I don't think we should head straight to lynching iajanus because it could have been a simple error, so I'd rather lynch the person that isn't likely to show up at all.

It was as good a lynch as any for that D1. Nobody had really done anything and you had made all of one post. I wasn't inclined to vote for anyone who was actively posting at that point, so why not vote the biggest lurker?

Why? My vote was mostly predicated on you being a lurker. You are no longer a lurker, so the reason for my vote is no longer valid.

Why are people thinking I wanted Exakt lynched immediately? Both SSV and Kash seem to think I wanted the lynch done in hours when that's just not the case.

All I was doing was stating my opinion to start the day followed up with a vote. It's not like some kind of permanent vote that I can't move. Exakt has shown up and posted some, so I removed my vote.

We have short days, so attacks and arguments are going to come faster than games that have 2-3 day deadlines. Why am I catching flak for making a quick argument and getting discussion started?

Yes, I agree with all this. The Anidav vote wasn't super-compelling, but the switch to EXAKT was apropos of nothing and too many people are jumping on it. And then today people are all about jumping back on to EXAKT without even analyzing how everythign went down yesterday. Granted I wasn't here when any of that went down, but readining back over it I can't get why that started.

##vote TMMadman he seems to be the ringleader here

So you think Anidav is scum, but you're voting me because you think I so obviously swung the vote off him on D1? Even though I was completely willing to lynch him?

I switched off him because he made a couple posts near the deadline and I agree with him here:

Anidav posted:

What's there to read? There's no rabbit in the hat here. We have a conga line of lurkers, a stolen car and a vote stealer(?). Any vote we make is equally as useful as the previous. However having vocal people survive for day 2 is more useful as you can actually compare posts from previous days. A day 1 lurker is empty space and the less empty space there is the more likely we can paint scum into a corner.

So I moved my vote to Exakt, a person who had exactly one post. I would have switched back Anidav, but iajanus' drive by vote skeeved me out and reeked of scum jumping on an easy deadline vote. Even with his bad typing excuse, he still stinks of scum to me for his reluctance to move his vote towards the end and I'm still very suspicious of both Exakt and iajanus, but I'm giving them some slack for the moment.

I could get behind the MMG vote as his jumping onto Exakt so quickly and then his cheerleading in the thread. He's been posting a few times, but it's nothing of substance and includes a list of people who voted for busb with no actual analysis. He's posting for the appearance and doesn't seem to want to put forth any opinions.
