GUNWell no one's asked me any questions as a matter of fact. And there's plenty of action watching Nerjin and Dave (one-sidedly) slug it out.
There was this:
GUN, welcome to the game. I suggest taking a moment to read through the game (better now before it gets too unwieldy) and making a few notes on the play of each of the players. What's your fresh perspective on everyone?
Also, were you going to vote?
Yes, I know that-- this has been a semantic misunderstanding. The others appear to think that I was refusing to help players that I suspected of being scum(!), I was actually saying that I didn't think the IC's job was to give advice on how players should play a good scum game. I certainly don't recall seeing IC's do this (surely that's the scum-IC's job). Regardless, I gave the advice in the end.
Hmm... two hours left. Time for my final vote and reads!
Some of my general impressions of the players:
GUNINANRUNIN - not been very proactive, but still very new to the game. Not much to say. Hope to see more of tomorrow.
griffinpup - Aggressive and forthright, but has a patchy record of responding to my questions (perhaps through misplaced meta-spite?)
Griffionday - Seems pretty reasonable- backed up votes when pushed.
Powder Miner - A fairly rational player, I haven't spotten any obvious scumtells
Imperial Guardsman - Seems a tad over-confident. Scum bluster, or revelling in his growing experience?
DaveTheGrave - Displayed scum-tells like voting without reason, over-paranoia. Could be new player bluster?
TheWetSheep/Chink - A lot of questions, debatable conclusions. If Dave is scum, I'd suspect more.
Nerjin - My read on Nerjin depends entirely on how Dave flips: if he flips town, I'll be pretty suspicious indeed, especially with his borderline-tunneling of Dave
At the end of the day I should place my vote on the player that is the most scummiest. I thought long and hard about this. Dave is top target and there's nothing I can do to stop him being lynched at this stage. My vote only signifies who I find scummy. And I do find Dave scummy, but I also find the way he's been handled and effective plumped for a lynching by Nerjin and Griffpup, especially suspicious. I'll level with you all, I'm also worried if Dave does flip scum then I'll be suspected of unreasonably defending him, but if I do place my vote on him I'll be accused of bussing. This puts me in a poor position right now and these are the kinds of accusations I'll be looking out for Day 2.
Ultimately, you should vote for the person you think should be lynched. Dave has a lot to learn but he is a liability to the town and his death will give us the most information. He has made the most new-player mistakes but has also acted the most scummiest, and I only hope that the latter is just due to the former. For these reasons:
DaveTheGrave.
