Hrm.. lest I get accused of being too fluffy a lemon, let me channel the anti-Awaclus here! The people I'm probably not voting for D1 are:

1) Lalight because it's been forever since we've been in a game together. I can also generally read him.
2) Maxford for a newbie pass and also because I need him to live long enough to see what his meta looks like.
3) faust because he's obliged to be useful even as scum.
4) Eevee, because he'll make the place happier :-)

That means my current D1 lynch pool is people numbered 2-9 on the signup post.
I'm generally in favor of just lynching who you think is scummiest for accountability and future vote analysis purposes, but in this case I'm also not lynching Maxford day 1 in their first online game unless there is strong reason to, I also agree faust is not a lucrative day 1 lynch because he is such a work horse - and I'm 50% of the "excluded for pleasure of playing with" pool (and I know I'm town so SA isn't protecting their scumbuddy IN MY CASE at least). I also know SA is nice like this and says things like this either alignment.
 

Vote: LL in case SpaceAnemone IS protecting their scumbuddy with the list.

So I can get behind the other three but I'm not sure I love your "faust is helpful!" reasoning. The others are emotional but that one is just sort of random, sandwiched in the middle, and (watch out, my bias is showing) not that true. Is this a hard list or does it have some bend?

If any of them scumslips, I'm all over that, so there's at least that much bend :-) And it's just a D1 list... I hope my D2 list will have more logic in it, assuming I get that far.

I also have a faust bias, because while he can be quite the grumpypants in some games, he's really nice IRL. Also I really like autism-friendly logic analysis stuff, and he plays that way too.

PPE 2: I get some support for my faust position!

@Maxford, did I remember to explain "PPE" to you in this context?

@everyone else: do we have a list of common acronyms somewhere around here?

If Faust is scum, should become obvious as they usually just get night killed if town

That's my super good logic that works surprisingly often

It seems like everybody's making jokes that get misunderstood.  Raeraes joke is better than mine.
It's fine, without ppl misunderstanding jokes we would get other ppl to explain them, and we all know that's the best part of a joke.
It is!! That's because explanations always enhance the humor inherent in a joke.

These posts are part of an extended running gag wherein faust and shraeye treat explaining a joke as enhancing its humor value when in fact the generally-accepted wisdom is the opposite.

Vote: WCD

This town situation should really be her jam. Everyone’s being nice to each other. Real love fest. But she’s not posting a ton. Maybe she’s shy cause she finally rolled scum.

It is my jam! but yesterday I was busy from the moment the game started until I woke up just now. We are interviewing folks for a new t/t position, and I’m the chair of the search committee, so I had to be uber-present irl. But nope, I am continuing my long streak of green-text! Town WCD is the best WCD because I can be as fluffy as I want to be! Woot!

I share a somewhat similar position to Space About faust. He’s a grumpasaurous sometimes, but he’s also really funny. I like playing with him. He’s also one of the few players who helps me get better by actually spelling out avenues of productive thought.

Agreed on a Maxfotd (hi!) D1 pass.

I’m not sure it’s super useful for me to spell out the other folks who I generally don’t want to see strung up because I like playing with...I think they probably know who they are and if they are scum they are already counting on my general goodwill and/or naïveté.

And a way better alternative to when they fight! The fighting makes me nervous. Which I think is really interesting because I was a debater and then a debate coach for years and years. So thumbs up on shraust (or fauseye?) harmony!

It's actually a running gag on main f.ds, not only between me and shraeye.

Unexplained or looking for people to question the reason so you can explain afterwards?
Unexplained for now... though I figured it would not be hard to guess my reasons.

So, setup:
It's 10/4, which seems hard for town
Although doesn't look like traitor is bulletproof (which they have been in most setups I've played), so hopefully scum will accidentally kill them for us
