Really? Nobody into a DatSwan lynch?
I'll be around for a few more hours but not for deadline.
For DatSwan, obviously it's not happening, and for reasons which I'm still not saying, I'm not voting him Day 1. And I feel the same way about basically everybody that doesn't have a wagon - LaLight, Galzria, Awaclus, 2.7 (and I also do not understand how I am the only person to have voted him).
The upside of a Dylan lynch is that if he's scum, my wild theory is looking pretty good. I'd still rather start with raptor.
Again, this isn't happening. And again, I'm really going back and forth here. On the one hand, it is very similar to 105. But on the other hand, as DatSwan said, he has to know the same shtick isn't going to fly. Best to wait him out and see if he slips with something more telling than the 'bus'. And what do you have against the Andrew lynch?
I am not the biggest fan of this lynch, but I'll vote: Dylan for now. We're creeping up on deadline and are massively spread out. My LL vote is useless right now, Raptor/Awaclus don't seem to be happening, and I don't like the Faust wagon.
For those on Andrew: Why should I vote there over Dylan?
Firstly: it looks like Dylan will be the lynch. The only other options at this point are faust, and that wagon seems to have exhausted all fuel, and Andrew, which also seems done. My order at this point is Andrew > Dylan > faust, and faust is last just because of previously stated reasons. I remember thinking my first game that no lynch was better than a lynch because we know nothing. Now, I'm much older, and I understand that lynching gives us information and also narrows down the suspect pool, so if I have to switch I probably will ( I say probably because I'm not sure I can do it with faust).
I'm posting during class when I should be paying attention to threading, so I'll get around to your last part in like 2 hours (still time enough, IMO). Short answer (which then became long) is: I like the long post that faust then tore into. Not necessarily because of the contents (and I did agree with you, the VLA defense sounded sketchy, but I didn't feel comfortable with faust calling it a 'supposed' VLA), but because it seemed heartfelt, and reminded me of my heartfelt post. I'm sure Dylan's smarter than me and is more of capable of forging falsities, which is why I'm still willing to lynch him if need be, but it's a point in his favor. As for Andrew, he's different than 105. He was not actively pushing against anybody like he did against you until the very end of the day when he's going for DatSwan, which everybody either disagrees with or doesn't want to bother it. I don't understand the argument that you mix up playstyles. I feel the same way as I did my first game (extremely confident until I start writing and reading back), so I'm doing the same things. Not because I want to, but because it's what's natural. I know I can't put on my chameleon mask and play differently even if I wanted to. Maybe some people here can, I don't think Andrew is one of them.
Other things too which I will get around to looking back for later.
PPE: DatSwan, you did the exact same thing with me...
