I had trouble deciding on someone to vote for and, with little time remaining, I figured I might as well vote for myself, to keep myself as someone who is contributing

This makes so little sense that it actually makes anti-sense.

linki -

Lemme put it like this:

You rock up at an election, where the voting ends in one minute. You have little idea on the candidates' promises, and you panic. You know a couple of candidates will get a majority of the votes, but you find that voting for one of them will lead to something bad (in this case, lynching a civillal). You spot a name you're vaguely familiar with, who you're almost certain won't be voted on. You think, what the heck?

In other words, what everyone does at the Australian voting ballots.

It's funny, you know. When Gurney was revealed you didn't seem too "gobsmacked", as you said you would be. But that's a ballgame I don't feel like starting anytime soon.

The ones Zebra posted were related to roles, but I was doing other jokey posts, too. Again, it was gettin' intense in TH, so I just wanted to kick back in this game for a sec.

Sorry about the self-vote. Once this bizarre day 1 is over, if I'm still in the game, I will legit scumhunt then.

I keep going back to this post and I don't feel good about it. The game moved pretty quickly past Mac's attempt to policy lynch you, but you didn't step your game up and you've stated you won't do so until Day 1 is over and you're still alive, and then you self-voted. You've effectively put the onus on everyone else to make a decision about you or vote elsewhere. I find that Day 1 is usually the hardest place for baddies to hide or to contribute, since there's no voting records for them to manipulate, and a single mistake is usually enough to get lynched on Day 1. So you've given yourself a pass for one of the most difficult phases in the game. I see plenty of baddie motivations for the attitude expressed in this post and I'm struggling to find the civilian motivations for it.

As much as the hosts may not like referencing other games, this is actually relevant I think and I need it to defend.

Frankly, Turnip, I was entirely put off by Mac's policy lynch idea in both games. So i decided (rashly unfortunately) that I would just self vote and let the chips fall where they may. Luckily for me in the other game, the poll is changeable, and once I came to my senses, voted elsewhere. I can't do that in this game.

Speaking of "stepping up my game", this is actually funny, because less then an hour ago, I had a post all laid out questioning Golden on why he would so easily give up on his Zebra suspish if it didn't take today, after saying things like "If I had a lynch switch I'd use it on you today" and "My gut is screaming!" ? Then I doubted myself and wondered if I should just scrap the post because perhaps it was too "delusional" for some. But enough with the self-doubting, believe me, if I find anyone suspicious in this game, I'll let it be known from here on out.

Golden - Do you really plan on dropping this "day one aspect" from your suspish of Zebes after suspecting her quite strongly for it, or did you just feel like since nobody was buying her as Mafia, you felt you should publicly talk about backing off of her?

This post rubs me the wrong way in a way I can't quite articulate, but I'll try to. I agree that Mac's plan is a crapshoot at best and destructive at worst, but the way BR words it here feels like she has inside knowledge on the situation. The little shrug at the end pings me too, as if BR is saying "Do what you'd like, ignorant civvies, I've said my piece."

I agree this is a slight ping to me can't give a good reason why it just is.
