Well when i did accuse, i was turned upon pretty quickly. Trying to avoid that.
The point is to measure people's reactions. Are they good or bad? Do you think that it was forced or natural? What do you think of the person that said it?

The point is to find scum and you can't find any scum by doing nothing.

Sure, there are people who seem to be acting oddly nervous.  It's pretty early in the day, though, so I don't see a real point to voting--though I'm guessing that it's mostly to raise paranoia and hope that scum take false steps?

I'll put it this way: I haven't really figured out what I'm doing yet, and I don't feel like getting on any bandwagons (given that the day ends on Thursday).  Right now, I'm trying to figure out how this game is played.  I suppose part of that is random voting.

Cast suspicions on eduren (nervousness, lack of analysis/questioning), vote dakarian.  He/she/it is being very quiet.

Unvote, then. I guess that explains the inactivity during the day.

back to the top of the list with Jim Groovester. What's your story?

Answer the question Jim! If that is your real name...

I'm trying to gather information and trying to make an informed decision about who to lynch on the first day.

That's my story, BloodBeard. What's yours?

A simple townsperson scumhunting.

Unvote

Vote eduren. Bandwagon votes me and jokes it off by admitting to be a bandwagoner. Just seems too laid back for my liking.

Well, why are you voting for dakarian and not eduren? And you shouldn't be casting suspicions on people. You should be finding suspicious people.

Also, when you want to say someone is suspicious, you say FoS. Like, I FoS eduren for being very lurky. His last response also did not actively look for scum. It was trying to show someone as suspicious:

That's very suspicious. Scum is like that. They're cautious. They don't want to be too bold or they'll make a spectacle of themselves.

FoS ToonyMan. Just because you don't act like a townsperson or mafia and it makes people pass you off as being silly and not consider you as a suspect.

I think Vector was talking about dakarian "FoS"ing me. Suggesting an overzealous fingerpointing.

1. I'm voting for dakarian because eduren doesn't look that dangerous.  Dakarian is lurking.  Eduren is currently bumbling around.  He is acting either like scum or like he doesn't know what he's doing.  For example, it seems that the ideal questions are psychological ones (like the color one).  He is asking questions that do not increase paranoia in the suspect, so at the moment I am considering him less dangerous.

Then, he's also running scared already.  His posts have a frightened tone and he's not behaving like he's in control anymore.  I figured I would FoS him (sorry, that's what I meant by casting suspicions) instead of using up my vote, because I want dakarian to feel like he/she/it has something serious to address and votes seem to outweigh FoS-ing.  Essentially, the goal is to induce a similar degree of panic in dakarian to that in eduren.

2. Why would I vote dakarian for FoS-ing you, at the same time as I FoS'd you?  The fingerpointing is not overzealous, in my point of view.  Eduren, you are acting very odd.
