Really? That's an interesting move.

But is it really... Theo kinda gave us the go-ahead to lynch him, imo, he's a plain rep.
I don't think we'll get a "I'm special" message from Newcastle, it wouldn't make sense, he's , I believe, attracting way too much attention for that.

Is this what happens when there is no time limit?

It seems OO is a cautious bunch. I can't even get people to react when I self vote anymore.

I still think we stick with theohall today and then let our specials get to work. There is still a chance he's a stinkin democrat too. Not much to go on otherwise.

 shoot theohall 
 

I think there wasn't much of a reaction because your self-vote was the 2nd vote out of 8. I was assuming that it would come off if more votes for you came in.

i am wondering if the great chill the US is experiencing country wide has sapped power in various areas. For one we've not heard from anyone in the detroit area in game.

It is interesting. First that Newcastle is the "target of the day" when he only had one more vote than Theohall at the time (5 vs. 4). Second, "eh, I guess everyone else is voting for him" sounds a bit like a "I want to vote for him and need to put down some kind of a reason."

There's no good reason to vote for either one them.
Theo is most likely good and not special, safe vote for sure.

Newcastle, we don't know BUT as I said in a later post he's acting quite wild and attracting a lot of attention so...

edit:

Plus, it's STILL day one.
Unless you can mysteriously guess who's a Democrat from this random chatter (who not everyone in the game is participating in) we need to vote someone so moving my vote to the person who has the most vote at the time seems like a pretty good idea to me.

"just accuse me of being a tree hugging democrat who loves to tax and spend...will be much better rather than acting weird. I mean i know acting like a dem to you guys is acting weird so in a sense it does make sense, but be rational...make a logical argument like all good republics do...unless....are you a dem?

though i was sincere in the fact that it had slowed down yesterday i was wondering if the chill had gotten to some members or whatnot.

ok so i am 6 votes. Just give me a sec to spill my guts when i get to n-1. I'm squishy like that being a secular, tree hugging dem i am.

I'm not voting for Newcastle. I enjoy his chatter too much.

(generic response to regional poke)

I'm here, of course I am not in Detroit. Just don't have much thoughts yet on who's who.

Games bogging. I still say we shoot theohall.

Anyone who doesn't agree with me doesn't believe in freedom.

Can we end day one before Christmas?

Well I believe in freedom, and so by Scoops logic I must believe in Scoop, so

 Withdraw Remus West 
 


 Theohall 
 


Scoop is smart....

OK let me plead to be lynched. Seriously just LYNCH ME. I am a SUPER SAFE LYNCH. Just a normal Republican. I have been trying to get lynched all day, and it seems to be stalled.Seriously trying. I am at N-2. If you think you can nail a baddie go for it. But if you need someone to pass the day. VOTE NEWCASTLE! I also have some RL issues that are interfering w/ my playing as well and it would be a great relief to me to be out of this game.

SO VOTE NEWCASTLE!

Are you seriously asking to bow out of the game Newcastle?

If it fits. That would be great. If you guys have a better lead on a baddie go for it. But if you need a viable lynch target where you know it will be a VERY SAFE vote, and really wont do any damage....i'm your huckleberry.

But I cant stay in the game long term. Hence my kamikaze moves today. I came in with the goal of trying to be the day 1 lynch so we wouldn't lynch any of our specials and give them at least 1 night to do some work.

IT'S A RUSE!

That thought has crossed my mind.

It's a bit odd in that, while I'm voting for Newcastle, he hasn't struck me as "trying to get lynched".

Ok. Let's lay it on the line. Newcastle all but announces he is a special saying he will talk when he gets to n-1. This of course causes me to stay the f@ck away from this post and voting him.

Now he wants us to kill him? What happened to the special "claim" Newcastle?

He said that ?

this quote - was basically to reveal who my role was. So in case i did get lynched, you would know that i was basically a joe schmo republican. I didn't want to go to my grave w/ you folks in doubt or a question of "oh shit we did we just lyunch a special?".

because i got skills to pay the bills. I can point to two pieces of evidence i purposely dropped to get a lynch train rolling.

Trust me, i dont make slips. I dont.

"slip 1" - designed to evoke the "wait could he be evil and really try something like that? Wait its newcastle, of course he would."

actually there are more slips here.

feels like evil remus this time around.

slip 2 - designed to evoke last game when i started my charge on remus. I pretty much used this same rationale.

Newcastle wrote:meh changed my mind

 chaosraven 
 


for his willingness to jump on an innocent republicans train...and for his unwillingness to lynch remus west. just seems plain evil to me. i mean for a man who says he's got a grudge over the dude for like 30 years...he's not willing to drop a vote on remus.l..sounds fishy to me.

/heads back to his study to conitnue working on BEER

slip #3 - my BIG slip. Designed to create a question in folks "wait how did he know theohall was innocent".
The answer is i dont. I dont know if theohall is innocent or guilty. But i wanted it to appear that way.

So again I do come back to this. IF you guys want a SUPER safe vote to lynch someone, I'm your huckleberry and I have played today in hopes that you DO lynch me. IF you want to go poke something else, be my guest. But know there would be no hard feelings if i were to get lynched.

Ok so there are basically three possibilities:

(1) Newcastle's been playing to draw attention because he is a vanilla Republican
(2) Newcastle's been playing to draw attention because he is the berserker (Andrew Jackson)
(3) Newcastle's making up this story after the fact because he is a democrat of some type.

None of those would make him a bad lynch choice.

I have no problem shooting Newcastle. I read one of his posts as "I'm a special" or "I need to fake a special". Either way I wanted no part of it.

However since he asked so nicely and my only other target is theohall.

 Shoot Newcastle 
 

It's a disappointment because I love his banter.

Very tricky evil ploy or legit...
