Anyone who votes to lynch me will be silenced for one week.

Chaqa, other than defending myself from personal attacks by Thucy and you, I have specifically not tried to mention others. I it easy for me to suggest that the "ha ha...let's lynch him for outside reason...wink win....just kidding..." is perhaps a very coy move by a/some mafia member/s - to try to persuade others for seemingly innocuous reasons. What you see as innocent behavior, I view differently.

You were angry at ME specifically for "stirring up trouble"....even though my stance was *no different* than others at the time...and yet you were specifically angry at me. Again, highly suspicious, to me.

If I am to view the collective actions/words of those present, I have found that I have been mentioned as a possible target ironically by two people that claim they don't want to lynch! Paradoxical to call out a target, while saying you don't want to lynch. Possible motivations? You are trying to persuade others to do your dirty work...or possibly trying to persuade others to do nothing, so that the mafia will have a stronger voting block.

Or just paranoid delusions...but they are all I have to run with at the moment.

I believe YJ expressed an interest - I'll bet he would take 2WL's spot.

Actually, the first day has not ended, so if PE can find a replacement who is willing to catch up and has not joined the out of game spectator chat, 2WL can be replaced, a much fairer judgement as I have expressed my distaste for doing something like voting out a non-participant when there a better suspects, especial if he can just be replaced.

@Chaqa - again, calling me out: "krellin and others" Really?

Reaffirming my vote for you.

I was not the *8th* to vote...and yet you call me out as the one that wants to lynch? Wow...

My joking statement came about 3 minutes after the game started. How could I possibly have had time to coordinate this with anyone, or think it through? It was a joking statement and you're blowing it way out of proportion.

Like I said, go back and look at all my posts. If my motivations aren't clear, then there's no use in us talking, because we have a very different view of how to play the game.

krellin, if you look at my post counts, you've been the most vocal in the game, and you've been pro-lynch all game.

Why are you so paranoid and worried? You seem awfully defensive.

So you have played the game before, and therefore know how to strategize. Yeah, really not hard to believe someone could have motivations in mind early on from past history on how to target someone, and then present your plan to others and see if they will go along. If they do, good for you. If not, no harm done; laugh it off.

I'm actually complimenting you, Chaqa - suggesting that you are wise, strategic and devious. No need for you to be insulted.

See, you've once again completely analyzed an opinion that isn't there.

This is my first time playing the game. But I believe that at this point, it is unwise to lynch ANYONE (except the 2WL example as I explained above, for him leaving the game willingly).

So, PE, what are we to do, it seems 2WL wants a replacement, do you have anyone in mind

I do. For now continue playing as though he's here and just lurking, I'm working on it

Okay, so where were we, oh yes, Australia.

Yellowjacket has replaced 2ndWhiteLine.

Everybody say hi!

So are the people who voted 2WL's votes transferred or reset?

##Yellowjacket

Transferred. Think of the votes as for a particular player slot; 2ndWhiteLine was in slot #12, and now Yellowjacket has replaced him in slot #12. All votes for 2ndWhiteLine are now votes for Yellowjacket, and had 2WL voted (I don't think he has yet), his vote would now be Yellowjacket's vote.

Alright. So can we get an updated vote count?

All Hail YJ.

To those that voted strategically based upon 2WL's silence...it might be wise to reconsider your vote, as the assumption you possibly tied to it (his silence was indicative of nefarious motivations...) is probably not true; it was just laziness and a lack of heart.

Vote Count Update the Sixth

Chaqa (3): captainmeme, VashtaNeurotic, krellin
Yellowjacket (4): TheJok3r, y2kjbk, pjmansfield99, abgemacht
abgemacht (1): WardenDresden
No-lynch (5): Thucydides, Chaqa, Fasces349, AlexNesta, kasimax

Votes outstanding (5): TheMinisterOfWar, The Hanged Man, Yellowjacket, Seyvas, yebellz

Currently NO ONE is set to be lynched!

Roughly 22.5 hours remain.

Actually, minor formatting fix. In this and future vote counts, the top vote set indicates the vote set with the oldest vote. In this case Thucydides's vote for a no-lynch is the oldest active vote. Essentially, if there's a tie with the vote sets, the top vote set involved in the tie has the tiebreaker.

I'm with krellin. The main motivation for me voting for 2nd was his silence (note, not his Silence). I'd like to hear what YJ has to say before I decide if I want to lynch him.

Also, what the shit, Warden. Seriously?

##Vote Unvote or whatever it is to denote I haven't placed a vote yet. No reason for me to have a vote for YJ when he could very well provide discussion.

So, what's the plan here, guys? We don't have that much time to decide what to do. We probably don't want to rush-lynch someone at the last minute.

Well, we do have three going chaqa, so there is that option.

Know what would be even dumber? Suggesting the lynching of a low-volume poster, then failing to post much oneself. Clearly, the volume of traffic on this thread is going to require more than the occasional phone check in.

I don't have an opinion yet re 2WL. I'll need to go back and read the pro and con arguments. When I first suggested lynching a low volume contributor, I did say it should be someone who had posted at least once that day.

Chaqa has definitely said some questionable things that don't really make sense at times, but that fits in line with his claim that he's never played before.

I'm really not sure who to vote for. I know I've done a fair bit of arguing with Thucy on our differences over handling Day 1, but I sure as hell don't want to vote somebody who's been a high contributor. That's just silly.

If we're going to vote for somebody, I'd recommend somebody inactive who's not contributing a heck of a lot. If they're not posting, they're not really helping either. It's a minimal loss if we're wrong really.
