rofl, wow. First time I've ever been voted for on day 1.

RETALIATORY VOTE FOR NAZPYRO GOGOGO

And simply for even daring to put me out of the game in the first day, as usual, I counter with a vote on you.

I choose you, Pikachu Garr.

Shin.

Good hunting, gang. *cocks his dual revolvers*

I don't like the look of Tafer. He's far too tafery.

I'm totally voting for Diss. The name just reeks of evil.

Tossing up a random name... Let's see... StarmanDX, you're it.

Not only is Plarom always evil, he voted for me, just when I was hoping that the new rules would allow me to survive into day two.

That said, you gotta think who the bad guys would have wanted to recruit on the first night. I'm assuming there's no discussion allowed between werewolves and vampires so they must have conciously picked different people. If I was evil (Which I'm not btw), I'd pick someone who goes under the radar a lot on the first few nights, rather than risk infecting someone high profile and risk losing them to a lynching or getting checked by the seer army. As such, I'm going to vote for Capo. He's a good player so would be an asset to the forces of darkness but he also generally avoids early deaths in the game.

Retaliatory vote for Identity Crisis 'cause he just plain reeks, and you don't want to have to hole yourself up for safety with something that smells like that.

A vote for Crash Landon is often a good vote, especially in this case. His strategic prowess makes him a valuable asset and a prime target for Night 1 conversion.

Shin's logic makes the most sense at this point. Sure, Crash is a great player, but he's also a huge target, so why would you recruit him? I'm voting for Chaotic at this point, because he's a quiet player who usually makes it pretty far.

By everyone's voting logic right now, this would be a good reason to vote for The_Griffin: someone who's been able to get past the early game. I'm not trying to create an argument against you or anything... just saying. This was also the reason I picked you too, but it was still basically "random."

Let's also just consider the possibility evil thought ahead and figured day-voters would target the less likely candidates on the early days, this would give them a reason to recruit Crash or other more notable players onto their squads since they might end up sticking around, and we already know of their persuasive powers. Blah blah blah, post unusually long for me... in other words: Day 1, we got nothin'.

My meaningless day one vote goes to jaunzen.

I think that's giving evil too much credit. As we've seen in past games, good tends to overthink things and come up with grandiose conspiracy theories, when in reality evil just isn't that clever (no offense to whoever is actually evil in this game). Hell, for all we know, evil just picked someone at random with no thought whatsoever.

Shin? Making sense? PFF.

His logic may appear sound, but currently there's nothing backing him. He's just riding his own coattails from the last game. He was the valiant hero during the previous game, but why should we believe anything he says now?

Spoiler:

Last night, I had a dream about this very game. I remember seeing the names of a couple people, then accurately guessing their roles. I'd like to see if my dream will end up bearing some truth. Regardless, the most prevalent feeling I remember from the dream was my urge to kill Shin.

Plus.. As much as I do love the 'Plarom is always evil' rule, and no matter how much I may wish it were true, my personal Werewolf history tells a much different story~

WEREWOLF HISTORY

Spoiler:

Game 1 - Mafia ~ SURVIVED
Game 2 - Baner ~ SURVIVED
Game 3 - Baner ~ SURVIVED
Game 4 - Devil ~ KILLED by Mafia (Thanks for ruining my streak. ;_; )
Game 5 - Werewolf ~ SURVIVED
Game 6 - Spy ~ LYNCHED (Damn infiltrator messin' up my fun!)
Game 7 - Mafia ~ KILLED by Masons (I accidentally sent in a kill for a HUNTER and when I realized what I did I quickly withdrew it. I never ended up RESUBMITTING a kill, so I was killed for my own idiocy. xD)
Game 8 - Mason ~ KILLED by Mafia
Game 9 - Mason ~ KILLED by Mafia (on the first night, no less!)
Game 10 - Mason ~ SURVIVED
Game 11 - Werewolf ~ SURVIVED
Game 12 - Hunter ~ SURVIVED
(S WOLF)- Mafia/Wolf ~ SURVIVED
Game 13 - Villager>Bloodletter ~ SURVIVED
Game 14 - Incarnate(Werewolf) ~ KILLED by Vigilante (on the last night)
Game 15 - Preacher ~ KILLED by ZOMBIES (on the last night)
Game 16 - Vigilante ~ KILLED by Werewolves (on the first night)
Game 17 - HOW COULD I MISS THE SIGNUPS?!
Game 18 - Lucky Stiff ~ SURVIVED
Game 19 - Diplomat(Preacher) ~ KILLED by Soldier
Game 20 - Mafia ~ LYNCHED

"S WOLF" was the Werewolf game played on Serious Business while the boards were down. During Game 13 I ended up being converted to the evil team. So, out of 20 games, I've been evil 10 times. That's an incredibly solid ratio, if you ask me. I wanted to share this history because I've always found it interesting to look back at previous games. Aaaaaanyway, back to business.

*Ahem*.. Yes, well. Kill Shin. *begins sharpening his swords*

my vote goes to Tritoch.

I like the way Shin and nazpyro are working out the logic here. I don't agree with all of it but there's some solid theorizing at work. Given that Evil is able to pick and choose, it's a question of whether they go for under-the-radar players or manipulative players - or both? There are two factions.

At the beginning, I think it's better to amass numbers than it is to gather strategists with potential bullseyes on their head. The quiet, unassuming types would blend in very well and that's what I'd want during this stage.

For this reason, I vote for Kilroy, a textbook "stealth" player.

I want bandwagon!

But since I cant see any of those, I'll go for Tritoch (Pink is the color of evil)

Or perhaps they recruited both ways and have slowly been building up a resistance to our iocaine powder nooses over the years!

Also, Tafer has clearly shown his true colors by admitting his hatred of Jigglypuff. Only true evil could despise such an adorable puffball.
