That would be me.

I don't think we had a big reason- it was Night 2, and we had to kill two people. We had tossed a lot of names around and settled on you and LT. We mainly wanted to keep suspicion away from us.

At this point voting randomly seems likely to result in voting for someone not on my team, and since I can't pretend I have anything to go on I might as well try that.

I got some Maytag blue cheese today.

If you are a civ, this is certainly not true. Out of thirty-six players, only eight are baddies (ten if you count the indies.) So the odds are you will vote for someone on your own team if you vote randomly. Unless you are bad, or an indie, in which case, we should probably lynch you.

But from what I understand most teams seem to win as long as their not dead. That's a civvy win in my book :P

And, I must agree with Mongoose about the accusations against llama. I don't see what LT sees. She seems to be reaching which is pingy to me. LT quoted llama's comments that she thought were pingy but never really explained why they ping her.

To sum up, so far I see civvie behavior in Llama and baddie behavior in LT and and A Person. Looks like there is enough info to make an educated guess

I am leaning towards a vote for llama - simply for starting the whole "random voting" AGAIN. It is never resolved, it always ends up with a long drawn out argument and people still will randomize on day 1 because, well, they see no reason at the time to vote anyone.

Also, some earlier comments you made were pingy (I quote them latest to earliest):

Sounds like you are a killer.

thellama73 wrote:It is still very early, but I have two thoughts so far.

Thought the First: Nevinera is being very, very quiet. No doubt, a desperate attempt to survive longer than a couple of days for once, but it strikes me as odd. Could be nothing, could be a baddie lying low.

Thought the Second: I agree that there is probably at least one baddie hiding in the OT posts (although now that people have started saying that, it makes me nervous because I was having a lot of fun posting OT and now people will think I'm bad! Oh noes!) Lizzy seems to have deliberately drawn DH's vote, which seems unlikely to be a baddie move. Of the OT posters, Hedgeowl feels the most like a baddie to me with her "for sers, we need to get a baddie" talk, that sounds rather forced. Mind you, this is very, very weak evidence, but it is Day 1 and I wanted to post my thoughts to foster discussion. All this is subject to heavy revision depending on how the rest of the day progresses.

Any suspects yet? We need to start making people sweat.

Consider yourself in sweat mode

It's a little early to be pointing fingers, don't you think? It's not even day one yet.

The classic baddie move - stifling convo.

So, in summary, I find you suspect because you attempt to make people feel bad for deciding to randomize, additionally, bringing up a subject that is commonly used to cast aspersions on those that choose to randomize AND HAS NO END conclusion. It is a typical baddie argument, imo. You gleefully participated in the OT convo, boosting your post count, and then blithely agreed that a baddie could be hiding amongst said OT posters (a little honesty there, in that you are, indeed a baddie hiding in the OT?) and you are guilty of trying to stifle discussion of possible pings by LA, citing that it was too early for pings... in a mafia game.

You, sir, will probably get my vote today.

I like your logic that me saying that there is probably a baddie posting OT makes you think I am bad, when you also think there is a baddie posting OT.

Vote for me if you like. It is better than randomizing.

In my lengthy mafia game playing experience, sometimes, people tell the truth of their alignment... unwittingly.

In that case, I'll remind you that the "baddie in the OT" idea was mentioned by bea, DH and BWT before me.
