My card will flip town, and I have no special powers.
I realize several townsfolk will be voted out by each other so I’ll try to not take it personally being the first
This is my first time playing a game like this and the thing that jumps out at me the most is that if you aren’t participating/ contributing, you are hurting the town and helping the mafia, even if you are a towns person.
I really think it’s a bad strategy to just blindly follow ineedanother because he is proven town. It just seems like it will be very easy for the Mafia to blend in with the herd and you won’t be able to pick out any voting patterns.
I know we have next to nothing to go by this early in the game, but I want to add some thoughts on some people I’ve had my eye on (mostly for bragging rights later if I’m right about any of them).
GP_Matt: He was caught lying (post 553) about thanking posts he agreed with instead of posting the same thought again, and was using this as a justification for appearing like he wasn’t contributing very much. When I went to go find the posts he was thanking, I could only find 2 – Rathji’s avatar change, and Aeneus suggesting the hard to spell name voting strategy. Reading Matt’s post you would think there would be several. Could be something, could be nothing.
Transplant99: Hasn’t participated at all, blamed work, but still manages to pop in when he’s called out or to sneak in a vote for ineeanother in the middle of the night. Until he voted for me this afternoon he still had his vote registered for ineedanother, but had posted since ineedanother was proven town.
Rathji: He started and continued to push the ineedanother fiasco based on suspect evidence. That alone will have me watching him a bit closer as the game goes on.
HockeyGuy and Strombad: Something seems fishy with these two. Thier back and forth’s early in the game, accusing and defending each other, then voting for each other, but then both changed their vote to Kermitology and roughly the same time. Keep an eye on these two.
Kermitology: He stood out to me early as someone that was trying to post a lot but wasn’t contributing anything. I have my suspicions that he might be in cahoots with HockeyGuy and Strombad, but nothing solid to base that on right now.
Street Pharmacist: He just seems swarmy.
So that’s it.
I’m anxious for the game to move forward and see how it plays out. It’s going to be an interesting first night!
I’m ready to go now...please make it quick.
