I'm tempted to vote JoanK just because I think s/he is flinching.
However, even if Joan is scum, I want to see how Joan plays as scum.
Kill me Joan.

I think you and I need to establish something where we vote for each other every Day 1, like Winston Hughes and johnhughthom.

"or whatever", are you not sure, well this seems to me to be more of a problem than getting a couple of votes on you.
Just kidding with you, MAN.

Day 1 is over.
The People of Naenar had gathered in the center of the city. There was much finger pointing and joking all around. Nobody really had an solid reason to vote for anyone, save for Red_Spy. Some people called for Red Spy to be killed, the offense being he hadn't said much to anyone in the last few days. Unfortunately for Red Spy, Pizzaguy, Classical, and Kennigit were the only ones able to unify enough to lynch anyone. Michael took Red Spy up to the gallows, and hung him.

Is it just me, or does Skwink's sig fit in eerily well with that last line? *shivers*

Anyone else want to join my WOG squad? I spent the first half of Capo eradicating the folks who wouldn't bother to post or show up. If you have a history of being a lame duck, your bass is grass and it belongs to me.

Yeah, because lynching inactives help the town SO much.Seriously, anyone who does stuff like that are scum in my books. FoS: askthepizzaguy

No, it means we can eliminate those who are not helping the town clause and thus giving us time to watch the mafia make a mistake.

it's not like day 1 really matters; since mafia is presumably determined by rng, lynching an inactive has as much chance to get the mafia as anything else day 1.
and inactives do really hurt the town in the long run, at least sometimes. The circus notw (iirc) had a werewolf team and cult team iirc, and the endgame the townies (me, a couple others) lynched someone who hadn't shown up pretty much all game for suspicion they were the last werewolf. He flipped town and the town lost.
the tiniest bit of activity would have helped us that game. Or at least for that crucial endgame lynch.
I think most people showed up though day 1.

The town clause? I don't think I've seen any Santas for a while.
Heck, that wasn't so much your fault as it was me convincing everyone there was one more bad guy on the wolf team than there actually was and me having a vote-changing item.

Why Red_Spy:
1) Wogged in the past several games
2) Has abandoned games where he had a powerful and useful role before, and the odds are literally zero that he has a powerful and useful role here, so there was absolutely no danger of lynching our own detective or something
3) Is just as likely as the rest of us to be randomly made into mafia by a random number generator
4) Round One lynches are usually a waste of manpower due to both the highest possible odds of hitting a townie, plus the fact that there's the least amount of incriminating information, plus the fact that almost nobody is giving a poop about what the vote tally is, further reducing the townie's odds of hitting a scum. Folks will, for example, Vote Verarde "Because I can" or vote for CELTICEMPIRE even though there is virtually zero chance of lynching CELTICEMPIRE since you were the last person to register a vote and no one else had voted for him yet.
So if you're not going to take the round seriously, and you're not going to catch mafia, then you're facing a choice: which finger do you like having attached to your body the least?
So, I cut off our vestigial sixth finger that hasn't fully developed into a finger yet, making our hand look much more like a normal and useful hand. Sure, it wasn't a boil or a tumor, but it was the least useful finger we had.
Your honor, I killed that man because he was out on the street begging for change, and using it to buy crack. I mean, it's not like we're missing out on the next Mahatma Gandhi over here. He may have been no murderer, but if you're going to misfire, why not clean up the streets?
Someone give me a humanitarian of the year award. I freaking RULE.

Oh, and one more thing: There is now zero chance that he will show up halfway through the game to avoid a WOG that he deserves, forcing us to waste one of your later-game lynches which have a much higher chance of destroying scum, in a critical situation, just to make sure we're not getting punked by a cold lurker.
Hence, WOG squad. Dealing out divine justice so God doesn't have to.
