If you're going to vote me then do it, there's no need to do a warm up routine.

Magnus let's do this instead. Kashuno isn't going anywhere and besides he said it's a bad idea for town to vote him.

I'm getting kind of sick of being voted for not voting every drat game. Not having your vote on someone doesn't make you scum. This just looks like TNL trying to jump out in front of me so he can yell OMGUS when I ##vote tnl though

Without any kind of concrete information, I'd argue that not voting at all on Day 1 is the significantly lesser sin, IMHO. It's (much) worse on subsequent days, but a D1 vote is almost never illustrative of anything more than "that person made a joke I didn't like" and/or "look what a funny crazy guy I am" (or, occasionally, "oh poo poo it's a bandwagon I better hop on board so they don't come after me next"). Having said that, I am also out of the current meta, since it's been a while since my last Mafia game, so I could be out of touch on that one - but I can't really see how. A Day 1 informationless lynch - barring some sort of egregious slipup on the scum's part - is statistically much more likely to be beneficial to the scum than the town. To what degree it's more likely is unknown, since we don't know what roles are present and how many scum there are in this variant, but it's still a pretty safe bet IMHO that the game isn't divided 50/50 between town and scum. (unless there are mutually opposing scum factions, but that sounds like a fuckin' headache) That's my read, anyways; if someone thinks I'm wrong they can feel free to try and convince me.

Because the person not voting can still vote for someone, and they're free to discuss people and their feelings (as I did) The joke voter drums up votes on someone close to the deadline in a game (mafia as a whole not this particular one) where people tend to pile on apathy lynches at the 11th hour. And if they're scum, it lets them hide in plain sight

Not voting is scummy because scum don't care about who gets voted provided it's not them. Town have to make their kills happen by discussion and consensus. This is basic game theory and also why Opop calling me scummy for voting while not voting himself is scummy. Why didn't he vote me then? He cast around twice for a reason to escalate a suspicion on me and it took me daring him to vote me and voting him myself before he did. The fact that he says I voted him to "beat him to it" is just support for that.

A second vote on someone one day from deadline is a far cry from an 11th hour vote.

Then your response was not very townie so I went ahead and voted.

Jokevotes vs no votes as a measure of scumminess is a useless debate imo; because you're using meaningless criteria to define whether a person is scum or town D1, when a lot of people either jokevote or don't vote early on. ##unvote

Seconding this sentiment. IMO if anything's a good indicator of scumminess it's calling for blood D1, given the likelihood for D1 lynches to hurt town more than scum.

hmm, I have some thoughts on these matters last time I called opop out for not voting, I was the serial killer. perhaps tnl is a serial killer! I went back through some old games to see if I had caught opop, and saw that him not voting isn't a consistent scum tell. but I was right, opop was scum! what I'm saying is, we should kill both

whats scummy is the overdone handwringing 'hey guys lets talk about this' caution mongering that town players dont have, but scum players seem to think makes them look town a town player hates scum, and when they think they smell one they go bloodhound and want death a scum player can not find or replicate this feeling so goes for the 'voice of reason' since they perceive that as 'town' somehow, even though they must have played as a town player before in their lives psychology is weird

You know the kind of thing town players hate just as much as scum? Losing. And killing off other townies is a great way to make that happen faster. You know what's a great way for scum to get a leg up early in the game? Pointing and shouting "Hey I think this guy must be scum" on the flimsiest bullshit excuse and hoping town is dumb enough to latch on. If we were on Day 3 you'd have a case, but on Day 1 a lynch based on a faint whiff is vastly more likely to catch a townie than scum. I wonder, oh how I wonder, if you could possibly be missing this fact somehow. Strangely I don't think you are.

The conventional wisdom for D1 certainly used to be vote. Either scum is found or information is gained. I'm not convinced DCB just doesn't believe in a different play style though.
