Post counts are a fine and useful tool. They're an amazing starting point, incentive scum to trip themselves up, and are a wonderful proxy for alignment that I would wager is near-unbeaten for D1 success.

So. Who are you voting for, and why?

There are probably 5 or 6 people I would lynch. I am advocating for my top choice, but by no means my only choice.

I'm just surprised this is your top choice, given how light a suspicion it is.

I'm voting for Beyond Awesome, I thought his sheepy vote on Axxle was textbook newbie scum. I still have to do a reread which is hard because I'm in my finals week right now...

I get that my vote isn't very useful where it is, and the deadline is tomorrow right ? So I'll change it, but I doubt S_P is our best option here.

PPE : Even on day 1, this is a nothing case. There have been five or six stronger cases in this game already. You don't like lynching active people, that's fine, but still.

D1 cases are usually BAD! They're great on later days for interactions but horrible for choosing a lynch on D1. I wildly disagree that there are "5 or 6" stronger cases.

Maybe, but I'd rather lynch him tomorrow because I don't want to scare brand new players away <.< >.> (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) (>'-')>

Hmm... so we should make cases on Day 1 but not actually follow through with them?

The traditional way of making cases (ie searching for contradictions, analyzing votes) on D1 is terrible. It has a proven track record of being terrible on D1. I advocate a different way of making cases on D1. I do not advocate what you said, and I have no idea why you would think that.

Well you said they're terrible for finding scum on day 1, yet they're very useful later on.

Volt, why do you want to still vote me when your original reason was demonstrably false?

Correct. Useful in that the same method is good D2 onwards, and anything that causes posting on D1 is good. Not best, but good.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

Except scott is the only person remotely close to being lynched. Do you think there's a chance of someone different happening today?
I will vote for scott if we are super near the deadline and need a lynch, but he's not really my first choice.
If we're lynching a lurker, I think I'd prefer chairs.

I'm willing to move back to Nik if you think that's a good vote. I'm only on sp because of the deadline.

chairs is VLA so I don't like him as a vote.

Not Chairs! Remember, he said he had Internet problems. I think Scott_Pilgrim and BA would be better canidatates.

Kinda, but he's also had more time to react to his wagon.

Ok Nik. I'm not going to ask you to claim your card just yet but can you reveal your alignment?

I think it was scott who was having problems with his internet (maybe chairs too). I just checked the VLA thread, and yeah sp posted about having internet problems.
