I AM MAKING A FEDERAL CASE OUT OF IT!
This thread is killing me
I will comment with thoughts, even though many are things people have already said. I think more often than not in my experience, strange antics in the beginning don't produce baddies upon lynching, which is why (as others have said) that more avant-garde players tend to get lynched early as Civs because of it. I'm certainly not saying that weird behavior is
never an indicator of baddieness, but I'm gonna have to agree with those that look in other directions (conformity, weird votes, etc). Early voting in large games often pings me (even if they're changeable), especially for Day 1 when we have hardly anything to go on but two days of observation available to us (I believe llama made this point, too).

Can I assume since you responded with this 7 minutes after I voted for metalmarsh that this is directed at me? If it was directed at me, I must ask what makes it a humorous tactic? Why is it a humorous tactic as opposed to any legitimate attempt at playing the game?
I didn't read DH as specifically targeting you with that statement. You seem to me to be jumping to the defensive pretty quickly... especially since I didn't find your vote for MM particularly humourous
or... antical?
Anyways, that made you my best choice for a Day One vote.

Actually, your reaction seems more fishy than his. I find that baddies like to vote early on, so they don't seem like bandwagoning. They find a small thing they can latch on to, and use it as a reason to vote. Granted, there are no really good reasons to vote on the first day, but I don't think I like the way you just jumped on him like that.
This also got my attention as fishy, for the same reasons. I'm not necessarily rarin' to vote for that reason just yet (seeing as I just commented on waiting and watching above
![A green blush? :blush:](./images/smilies/Blushes.gif)
), but it's certainly something to keep in mind.
Oh the joys of Day 1.
