I thought I got all the Day 1 votes, then I get to come out as a regular unpowered Citizen then everyone feels sorry for me and changes their vote to one of the Humans, forcing an outing. So say we all!

"changes their vote to one of the Humans", you say?

Maybe 2 or 3 more and then I will come out as a regular citizen.

Nope. Just taking one for the team.

Just to slow the train down

By the way, what's with the sudden return of lynch vote deadlines? We haven't had them for years (IIRC), now they're suddenly back it seems. Not a big fan of them, personally.

my BSG games have always had them. Hopefully 2 weeks is long enough...

I personally don't mind them for day one , especially when it starts on a day since there's no data whatsoever unless we almost lynch a special.
On other days when discussion picks up, yeah maybe we can do without but even then, 14 days is ALOT of time even including weekends.

+1 but I do think the BSG games have typically had them.

I think it is going to be difficult to find a better candidate than Moliere today given his slip but for his sake....What to do if you out yourself as a bad guy on day 1.

Really? I have a very hard time with games without deadlines. Day 1 there always reaches a point where nobody wants to move their votes because there is no solid information and we sit for up to a week and do nothing. Most of the days get deadlocked like this unless there are a flurry of reveals that point us in an obvious direction. Active players get really frustrated and not as active players lose interest.

With deadlines you get the same effect right until the edge of the deadline at which point the group flounders for a target to lynch and this nearly always benefits team evil.

And yet sadly - without them - it seems that some people wouldn't even post/play/vote.

You better hope I'm not a Cylon, otherwise this might come back to haunt you.

Ah. Moliere is the Troublemaker again.

Well, shouldn't you be concerned that Vorret is trying to earn future credit for protecting a good-guy? That taunt makes no sense.

Like Remus said, there isn't much indication that they actually motivate anyone to post for 95%+ of the game. Mostly it just gives the wolves leverage and chances for shenanigans as the deadline approaches (note, for example, RMC's vague specialness then role claim a few hours before the deadline in the Star Wars game). While without deadlines the village always coalesces around a lynch vote eventually, albeit sometimes getting dragged out.

Anyway, that's mostly a discussion separate from this game, I suppose. Just noticed the deadline and was curious about it.

That is a good point, actually, especially for day 1.

for now...

FWIW, I like time limits.

Moliere's play is certainly daring. He keeps pushing us when he should stop, almost like he's programmed to do it.

That makes 6 votes.
So, yeah, I'm just a regular citizen. Do what you will with that information.

(1) While it's pretty clear that you meant to withdraw it, I'm pretty sure that's just a vote for Moliere.

(2) Why are you moving on, exactly? Did his post make anything before seem less suspicious?

(3) You mean Zarek, right, not Zabrek?

I mean, the way Moliere is playing it's obvious to me he's a safe vote, I doubt a special, Cylon or the traitor would act that way so ... I'm guessing we're simply lynching him because he's... safe? Is that it?

Not really. Jump on now and he ends up Human you look bad. Jump on now and he is Cylon you look very good.

Fortunately for me I don't care which I look like.

Suspicious? Really? Would a Cylon ever bring this much attention to themselves on Day 1? You'll are hiding hoping no one notices you.

You didn't read my link did you.

It is day 1. I hope he is a cylon trying to bait us instead of a "stupid" human trying to bait us. I guess we will find out.

Well, day 1 suspicious, which is graded on a suspicious curve. It's really just the "one of the humans" thing. Which sure, isn't much, but this is day 1, so it's about as good as it gets.
