cmdr_flashheart: To be honest, I feel like I've been over-participating because I am bored, but the most scummy thing to me is voting for bad reasons.
I agree that people who have been participating leave more info which can bite them in the ass as opposed to the lurkers.
Maybe I am wrong about amok, maybe not. I'll change my vote if there's a good reason to do so, or if my vote is needed to bring this day to a close.
Well, to the first one, bad reasons tend to be the most annoying of things, especially when you have to defend. It's hardest on Day 1 because you can't really defend yourself from them, especially not without having the whole thing thrown back at you. It tends to pull away from your attention to the game too.

As for your second point...yes, very much so. ESPECIALLY for Day 1, since you can't really tell who is really lurking, and who just doesn't have a lot to offer during the day.

I have to admit, I don't really have a target that I would lean to one way or the other. I've spent a lot more time looking at the Cult vs. Mafia arguments and honestly, I feel like that was a distraction. It kinda puts Telika and Flubb towards the top of my list for all of the speculation that they went on about cults with. The fact that everyone's voiced at least something of a comment on it shows that it's been the one thing that's seeped into everything that has been talked about this Day...in fact it's been the big thing that's been talked about.
To cast a vote though, I'm choosing to vote for the one person who pushed the conversation a bit deeper then it needed to go. Someone who chose to start asking about possible recruitment, how they would play, something that felt like it was to draw the conversation as much to it as possible.
Vote Telika
