I'm voting Aaron for the lynch. He's a clever player and I get the feeling his inactivity isn't just because of his timezone. Infact, we should lynch him for being inactive. I really don't think killing Pete is going to get us anywhere.

The whole idea of picking a random person is so that we can all vote for Cuban Pete, as the random guy hasn't done anything wrong yet. As far as I can tell aaron hasn't posted at all on grcade since the game started, but as it's only been a day that's shouldn't be enough reason to get him lynched yet.

Whether you think Cuban Pete is a vampire or not we have to know now otherwise it will just bug us for the rest of the game and make us look stupid if later he turns out to be a vampire.

There is nothing else to go on this early in the game, so lets lynch Cuban Pete.

A very vampire thing to say.....

This all comes despite him mentioning that he had 'misunderstood' the procedure for lynching. Not someone I would have put my faith in so quickly then...

That's fair enough. Initially I thought we were lynching two people and so that's why I felt the 2nd person must be randomly selected. When I realised there is a vote and only one is lynched it didn't matter so much who that 2nd person is and so I wouldn't have minded if the others became mayor as long as they put Cuban Pete up for the vote.

More analysis after the lynching. Bad luck Aaron.

He posted that he is a vampire after the roles had been given out.
It shouldn't be bad luck for Aaron as long as the villagers aren't stupid and stick to the plan.

I thought that, but the roles were given out on Thursday and his post was from Friday.

It's alright lads, I've already said that!

Cuban Pete - what were your reasons for your 'hidden' message? What was your thinking behind it?

Okie dokie guys. Just trying to show it is important to be vigilant and pay close attention.

there was no thinking. It amused me.

Fair enough - but surely you can see why it's made you the No. 1 target. After all, at this stage of the game, there's not a lot else to go on (except for randomly picking targets and hoping that something they say in the debate incriminates them).

Of course I'm aware of all the boring reasons why blah blah etc, doesn't make it any more true or false though. Diddums to me.

I'm not quite sure what people who are berating in-actives are hoping to achieve. Frankly, no one is going to have any better ideas than the ones already posted, so everyone posting is just going to lead to spam. The thread has been more than busy enough, and now let's just see what happens once Pete's dust has settled.

It's always been a tactic of mine to keep it on the down-low for the first few days, firstly to avoid being a target for vamps/wolves, and also to avoid getting singled out for a lynching. It's a valid position used by a lot of the players. I'll get more involved when I feel there is stuff to go on.

The "We must anyone we even slightly suspect as we have to know" is always somewhat disastrous thinking, but it's also somewhat necessary. If we let Pete off now, there will always be this niggling doubt and, if older games are anything to go by, we'll keep revisiting it over the next few days. In some ways, getting it "over with" now, for better or worse, would at least clear the issue up, but it could easily lose us our first villager.

I'm a bit too late with this now, what with the lynch candidates already being announced, so sorry about that (I did say my posting would be erratic at best!), but it still seems like something that needs to be said now, because it'll probably happen multiple times over the course of a game.

How many times in the last game (or maybe the game before that) did we have a last second change that kept someone alive, only for us to return to them the next day, and the day after, and the day after that again? It really tore us apart, and it is something we can't let happen again.

If we decide to lynch someone then we really need to go through with it, or else try our best to eliminate them as a suspect. We can't just "sorta-eliminate" people, as it ends up just causing us to constantly suspect them which ends up distracting us massively.

I concur. We don't have anything else to go on, but once we know the result of Pete's lynching (which I'd say is the likely outcome) then we can go from there

Just caught up. Been out with my daughter all day. Looks like it's going to have to be Pete tonight.

Queen Tiarny knows the score.

Incorrect. You were a wolf in DML's very first AYAW.

Sensible but I guarantee tomorrow the wild accusations will begin anew, these always end up in wild hunch lynches because "we haven't got anything else to go on" well I think we need a game plan and to stick to it.

In actives is the strategy. It forces vamps to post and hopefully slip up, it also reduces those not interested in playing and most importantly.....

We don't kill off those taking part and those who could help us, previous games have died when vamps /wolves have the majority of active players.

I too back Pete for lynching.

I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea of taking out Aaronayl because he's inactive. What with the time difference and I believe Japan still has rolling blackouts in effect I feel he does has a half decent excuse for not posting often.

Tonights lynch will be between Cuban Pete and aaronayl1.

Please me your votes with your choice in the subject line by 8PM.

Oh and from tommorow onwards, you can send me your votes once the mayor has announced his lynchees in the thread and pm'd them to me.

Pm'd. Sorry Pete, had to choose someone.
