Ranger:
I am assuming these due to the chances of lynching a town are much higher on day one, and i have rarely seen a mafia lynched on day one unless they made a slip-up. A no lynch allows anyone who can investigate to go off on their suspicions and see if their confirmed and any deaths could potentially give us useful intel.
These points show that a no lynch also can give us an extra day due to no death on day 1, depending on how the nights go.
The issue is we do gain data from any lynch, even if it's town. Voting patterns start to emerge early, and they can be followed, traced, and examined later. Waiting around assumes lots of things will work in the town's favor.
Also, given the expected high-power of roles in a Web BYOR-style game, the sheer likelihood of extra kills pretty much nullifies this.
Toaster: how many people do you believe is a good number to be trying to get reads on D1? And if all survive the night, would you continue to focus on them or shift your focus from 1-2 of them for other things?
Hm. I wouldn't go by a certain number, but going into N1 you should have a read on several people- enough to get any night action targets lined up. I would reevaluate them based on D1 lynch and any N1 kills and flips or night action results, then go on accordingly. No one is ever completely excluded from scrutiny, but I certainly admit to not having a full read on everyone D1 in pretty much any game. I've never been a good D1 player.
Toaster: it seems strange to me that, unlike Tiruin, you've somewhat ignored my mistakes after clearing up my first couple posts. this seems odd to me as i thought more-experianced players like you would be pressing people on this... did i just critisize myself?
I will point out mistakes I see, but if others call you out on them and I think it was a genuine mistake instead of an act of ill intent, I'll probably ignore it.
Do you want me to be more harsh on you?
Toaster: you started with in the begginning but after a few more posts stop. you have since then completely ignored every stupid thing i've done which should have encouraged you to continue interigating me. Tiruin, Deathsword, and now Vector (since her huge post) have all pointed out faults in my logic and all my jumping the gun moments. I may be wrong here but it seems silly to leave off your first suspicion (i don't care if i'm a hypocrite) when they've acted as badly as i did and probably still will. You could argue that i'm harder to read because i'm new here and my mistakes can come down inexperiance, but thats not much of exuse in the long run.
This seems more like a way of keeping the attention of the strong players away from yourself to where i get lynched or NKed.
i may be overthinking this but i need to start somewhere.
So... I'm scum for not attacking you over doing something silly?
UNVOTE There was no real evidence so it was baseless. lets see if i can do something right.
Okay, now I will give you a tip: If you back off a vote before the person even responds, it's a giant beacon that you weren't serious about it in the first place. This seriously damages your ability to be threatening. If you're town, you want to be able to intimidate scum into making mistakes. If they think they can just blow you off, you're not going to get results.
I believe in the morning i will use my vote to try and pressure Zrk.
This is good, but telling him it's a pressure vote takes the pressure out of the pressure.
The Soldier: (re Daykill) I see.
Griff:
Toaster: Griff: Eh? I've been addressing several people at once. While I do try to spread my focus somewhat, I don't see value in spreading it to everyone.
It might just be that I'm spreading myself too thin attempting to get a read on everyone; but why is there little value in spreading your focus to everyone?
What answer would have helped you?
Any name you mentioned would let me know who you were paying attention to, and from there I could have seen you interactions with that person.
Well, if you apply pressure to everyone, the scum you tag know that there's no actual force behind it and can respond with ease. Picking scum out of just a few people is more hair-raising.
And fair enough.
Ford: What's the scummiest thing you've seen so far?
NQT: Give it to me or I'll give you a wedgie.

If you had the power to initiate a private chat with someone, how would you decide who to aim it at?
Why are you asking people to help you with your powers? Why UI?
Urist I: Even if you hate RVS, doesn't not participating mean a glut of posts you're not really invested in when it comes time to leave RVS? How do you know when to leave RVS if you're not in it?
