Baritones 3: Day One

[Tamamono]

I'm not forgetting it. All I said was that we didn't have enough to convict someone on, and then I repeated something someone else told me.

Oh? And who told you that?

[Brickdoctor]

Oh? And who told you that?

What significance does it have? Even though the statement was proven wrong, I still think Petr's 'calling out' of Barbara's yoga thing as a distraction wasn't very obvious, and could easily have been missed. Just as Petr himself missed Barbara's second statement.

And please, don't interpret the above statement as me jumping to defend someone. I just don't want to inadvertently paint a target on someone's head.

I suppose that makes sense. Sorry if I was acting overly inquisitive.

I don't think he called the Yoga part of the sentence a distraction, but he merely meant the point when she kept talking about drugs, while he calls the drug discussion distraction.

I'm willing to vote for Barbara, but not just yet. I'll give her some time, she hasn't even had the chance to defend herself.

[def]

Now this is enlightening. Petr voted for Barbara, and immediately Denis came in to turn against Petr.

There's a good chance that you're just duplicating your paranoia from the Forest here. By 'immediately,' I guess you actually meant, 'Hours later, when I caught up with the thread.'

But I do not like the way Denis attacked you, either. At this hour of the day, it feels like you are trying to divide the votes to protect someone, Denis. You already said you are not afraid of the penalty, but that's not something a Townie would choose over potentially ousting a mobster. Voting is our best weapon against the Mafia, and we should focus our votes. I understand being suspicious of Petr, but flat-out voting for him before waiting for other people's opinions is alarming.

I said I'm not afraid of a penalty. What's the penalty? I doubt 'God' has made his decision on that yet, or else the rules would be explicit. So, you think "Voting is our best weapon against the Mafia," but my vote is suspicious? I didn't wait long enough Geezus.

Five people have so far been under scrutiny, and three people have already gotten votes. We still have time to unite our votes, though. It's just a matter of choosing our sides.

I'm inclined to vote: Barbara/BobtheConstructionMan, because Denis jumped in to defend her. I'd rather vote for Denis or Benji, though, but I just preached about not dividing votes so I can't do that myself. I will switch my vote if the majority seems to go after either one of those two, though.

This whole diatribe is so full of faulty logic, that you are on my list. You don't think Barbara is the most likely scum, but you will vote there anyway There are another 30 hours left. Wait, did you wait long enough? I voted at, like 16 hours, and you voted at 20 hours (too tired to check the time codes, sorry ) So I voted too soon, but you are just being natural?

You employed the same faulty rationalizing during the Forest, so I'll keep that in mind, that you are an erratic player. But I think you are worth investigating night one.

[Bob]

And now he discourages vote which he said he was pro earlier, and gives no alternative. And that is all he says in whole game. Enough to look like he is contributing, but really not doing anything to help at all. However, if I had to pick between him and Barbara, I'd say Barbara has been more useless this entire game. She has only one post and it means nothing. I will use my one unvote today happily if someone gives me cause, but we need to start voting and I don't think it's Eugene or Nika. Vote: Barbara (BobTheConstructionMan)

What would you like me to say? Should I recycle what everyone else is saying? I'm sure if I repeated what others were saying you'd say I wasn't useful then too. It's not like I know anything useful. What should I contribute? Nothing has even happened the entire day. Voting someone out the first day is a foolish mistake that usually results in an innocents death.

You've been broadly accusing everyone who says anything before you. I doubt you're scum, but in all honesty you're an idiot. Like, seriously. Even though the town would probably be better off without your mouth, I won't vote for you. Just because I haven't been speaking much does not make me scum. Other than that, you have absolutely no reason to vote for me. I've got nothing important to say, because it's

A) Day One

and

B) Nothing really damning has happened.

I don't see anyone that we should vote for as of now.

[Pandora]

Y'know an awful lot of what's being said today seems to be mostly chitter-chatter, and I'm struggling to draw the important points out of what's actually being said. I find myself needing to listen and re-listen to what people are saying, and yet still there's very little conclusive to find. Hardly surprising, really, this is the first day of this horror for us, and who knows how long it will last.

Nika and Petr have been arguing quite a lot, but I suspect that they are misguided townies. Benji and Barbara have also attracted some attention, and to be honest Barbara you've not really said much worthwhile so far, however as you say, not much has happened.

I don't think there's much anyone who stands out right now as being scum, but there are a few who've contributed very little at all (Catya springs to mind) but it may be they can't get a word in edgeways.

I think I'm gonna need to re-listen to what you've all been saying all over again, and that, unfortunately, is gonna take a heck of a long time.

Catya is (or at least claims to be in her signature, explaining why she didn't update here avatar) away from a computer unable to get to the area we're discussing this in.

I am in the same boat. If I drew attention to myself, then I guess I did, but I was just trying to make sense of all the crap everyone had been spewing.

I find I know know pretty much this, Nika and Petr have been arguing all day.

[Inconspicuous]

Jeez, you people sure talk a lot! It's taken me some time to catch up, but I have a few things to say.

I'm glad we've moved past the Eugene vs. Nika argument. The whole situation was really overblown. Nika didn't really have to make a big deal out of Eugene's 'roleplay', but so much fire wasn't necessary to defend him either.

I think that my use of the word trust has confused people. Trust simply means, to me, especially for the first few days, you will not be voting for said person.

I change the way I play, it's true. I find it boring to always play the same technique, so I'm trying something new and getting the ball rolling.

Your ideas are very twisted. If you're speaking the truth, you're probably innocent, but you still sound scummy to me.

Nothing has even happened the entire day. Voting someone out the first day is a foolish mistake that usually results in an innocents death.

Yeah, nothing except flying accusations and a few votes. Is your brain working? There's a penalty for not convicting, and just because it's Day 1 doesn't mean we can't piece a few things together. Yes, it can be a mistake, but not necessarily.

I need to collect my thoughts and do some backtracking before I decide in which direction I'll cast my vote.

[JimBee]

I agree with what others have said, a lot of chitchat is going on, but little substance is actually being provided. I, for one, am not prepared to vote for any of the suggested lynchees so far, so I will refrain from voting for now unless something comes up that could possibly give us answers. There's no use in voting for someone who has good chance of being town if we don't make progress on who might be scum.

Stanislav, what have you been doing to help us out? Just calling people names. Sounds familiar somehow.

About the pie thing, that's the past. I wouldn't exaclty have called that roleplaying but whatever. You were scum, we voted you out. Get over it. You're not entitled to an apology for the one right thing we did that game.

This is probably the most sensible thing said all day.

Anyway, I'm a little suspicious towards Denis. He's been talking about zephyrs, forests, and other random things that I have no comprehension of, and seems a little crazy to be completely honest. Even if he is town, I wouldn't want a loon like that to be around my dear Catya.

Someone once said, "A useless or confusing townie is just as dangerous as any scum", and I'm applying that logic here. By no means am I suggesting a vote (I actually would prefer if no lynch were made if we can't reach a solid conclusion), but I am suggesting that Denis cools it with the lunatic talk.

[CMP]

I'm aware I haven't been particlar talkative today, but that's just because people are jumping on eachother's words, digging in the dirt to find something scummy.

So far, my top 2 suspects are Denis and Petr. Petr's been acting weird all day. Denis kind of jumped on this. It could be that Petr's just that - weird. Then again, Denis could just be avoiding a penalty for not convicting someone.

There's a little over 28 hours left in the 'day', if I'm correct. There's been only 3 votes so far, all for different people. One's been calmed down, but the vote's still there. The other 2 are still being talked over. I'm gonna give it some time. Shame there's no more vodka to pass it. Ah, another time...

[Bob]

Accusations and votes do not make credible evidence. I could accuse a turkey of being in the mob, and then vote for it, but is that evidence? Is that something that's going on? Theoretically yes, but it's nothing useful. I understand there will be a penalty, that's always something, but why vote for me when there's nothing that possibly incriminates me?

Sorry, I saw a play called the Forest once, and this actor named Zepher was in it. A few months earlier, he was in a play called Bloodbrick. There was an actor called Sandy in both too. It sounds crazy, but I think we can learn something about this very real situation we're in where we're all Russians hunting the mafia by considering these plays.

Hopefully that clears up the confusion.

So you're saying that you aren't going to discuss things if there's no credible evidence? That's not a very helpful stance to have. While the evidence (or more precisely, lack of evidence) of today is not much to go on for a vote, you could still at least try to help out.

Based on her defense, I'd say that Barbara is the most suspicious so far.

[CorneliusMurdock]

Now that I've calmed down, I suppose I should speak up. Sorry to disturb anyone who would rather enjoy the quiet.

I don't find Denis' actions suspicious. We don't always agree on everything but he seems a reasonable guy. I don't think his voting has anything to do with protecting Barbera. He seems genuinely concerned about Petr's behavior. And Petr has seemed to want to steer things his own way.

That being said Barbera's and Benji's rebuttals have left much to be desired. Sure, they could both be true but I would hope both of them would try harder to contribute when there is so much at stake.

I'll have to go think over everything.

[Hinckley]

24 hours remain in the day.

Vote tally

Nika (CorneliusMurdock) 1 vote (Eskallon)

Barbara (BobTheConstructionMan) 1 vote (Zepher)

Petr (Zepher) 1 vote (def)

[Shadows]

I agree with a lot of what has been said today, if you filter out all the dribble. I don't see a solid direction to follow at this point, and if it continues, I probably won't vote at all unless there really is some penalty for that. Has such a thing been confirmed?

Well what are you waiting for? Perfect evidence to drop from the sky? Someone to accidentally say "I'm scum!"? This game... of life is all about watching voting patterns, analyzing defenses, and observing others' behavior. Enough's happened today that you can at least raise suspicions. Given, there hasn't been much evidence, but it's certainly more than you're claiming it to be.

I've heard there will be a penalty. But what kind of penalty I'm not sure... But I also agree with you when you say there's no solid direction at this time. Sure there's a lot of banter and discussion going on between people but we just come back to square one. With just a little while yet I hope something comes up.

[Sandy]

I'm inclined to vote: Barbara/BobtheConstructionMan

Excuse me, Big Voice, I think you missed my vote...

[Hinckley]

Excuse me, Big Voice, I think you missed my vote...

The vote tally is correct.

[Sandy]

...?

Vote: Barbara (BobtheConstructionMan)

Satisfied?

[RileyC]

Just a thought, is the vote being blocked by someone?

[Brickdoctor]

Just a thought, is the vote being blocked by someone?

That would probably be a Day Action, which I doubt anyone has. (not saying it's impossible, but...) I think the problem here was that the vote was cast in the wrong format.
