I'm not suggesting that inactive players are mafia, just that lynching them is less detrimental than an active town person in most situations.

This is true, and is why I mentioned finding the balance. Game 2 had pages on pages of close to meaningless posts to wade through partially because nobody wanted to stand out as the least active. I guess we'll see as things get going.

Yep, didn't think of that, rules it out.

On the one hand, not posting would surprising if he were part of the dark because you'd think his teammates would be hounding him in the scum forum.

On the other hand, he's been too quiet and is the only non-delcarer.

I'm going to guess he's Luigi.

Time to toss out a vote.

First lynches usually go towards random picks and blood lust.
Logic can be tossed out the window at this point.
I think we should pick and peck and let those getting pecked defend themselves yet make sure we don't lynch to soon.
I have pecked on a player I am hoping to hear their response.
Is that definitive... nope but at this point in the game it is all we have.
Thoughts?

It sure looks like we got our pecking order.

Vote: squiggs96

It's early and I am giving you the benefit of doubt. Pipe in and I am willing to un-vote.

Hopefully squiggs96 will post soon, I want to give him a chance. I agree that an inactive player is probably a townie but won't be any help.

I'll wait a bit longer before I give him a licking.

Just to let everybody know, I will be attending a yoga retreat in the desert this week and may not be able to post as often as I would like. Please don't take this as hostility, I will be trying to achieve tranquility! I'm going to hold off on voting for anybody yet as I don't have a random enough reason to vote for anybody, and I don't want to vote out squiggs before he gets a chance to post a bit.

Namaste.

The first lynch is always a tough one for sure. Hard to get a read on anything this early. I will wait a few days to see if squiggs chimes in but I am on board with starting with a player not really that active.

Very quickly, possibly inaccurate, but the list of people yet to post today are:

devo22
hmmhmmcamo
squiggs96
bizaro86
stazzy33
Baxter Renegade
Puxlut**

None of them I believe have posted since the morning vote count. Puxlut posted at 2 am and is in Ireland so a reason there but the other 7 should be at the very least following the post per **real** day.

It is the first day with not a ton to talk about and a Saturday but I still think there should be an effort to follow the activity rule.

FALCON PUNCH!!!!

Vote: squiggs96

At least until he posts.

Alright, I think that puts us at 4 votes for squiggs, which should be sufficient to bring them out of the woodwork soon. We likely should hold off on too many more votes before a clearer picture comes out.

Important to note that 4 other posters all have one post each, we are singling squiggs out only because of no character reveal to this point. Let's hope for a little more activity tomorrow and we'll likely have more information to move from there.

I have been driving since 7am and just able to check into the internet now. I'm the lovable Pikachu. I'll be able to post more now. My pikachu powers will help smoke out the scum. If you are basing it on strictly not posting, I don't blame chu. Ready and willing to participate more now.

PIKACHU power!

Finished checking on my army of Koopa's overseas.
I will be boarding a flight back home in an hour, so will be out of commission for 9 hours at least.
If I can post from halfway around the world at least once, squiggs should be able to as well. But I am a lenient king and will not vote until I am back in the home land to give him a chance to defend himself. And because I hate typing on my phone.

So in multiple other threads Delgar says he will not post much early on because he got voted out early in the first two games. He then has posted more than anyone, including the first post and then votes for me for not posting? Others have exactly one post. Come on dude.

What's your character squiggs? You're the last one. I've been trying to guess

I'm thinking Luigi, but there's also Fox, Mega Man, Wario and possibly a Pokemon related character

Squiggs said he was Pikachu in his first of the two posts tonight.

When I click a thread usually it starts me at the newest post but I guess I missed squiggs first post

Well we can all pile on squiggs or go vote some other random way. I'm only against voting squiggs because he's a new player and I'd rather let him last in the game longer than one day

Pika appreciates the understanding for his absence. Thank chu.
