Er...so am I. My brains would have been on the buffet too, so RIP Stevie.
Does this mean another choice might have been superior? I don't know. I am considering the idea that Stevie would have died no matter what, and that this was merely (or mostly) a matter of choosing how. A way to spur discussion. But Kate said there is info, so that must be taken into consideration.
What are your thoughts, Robert, on how Day 0 went down? Do you think anyone (or more than one player) seemed to be pushing any particular option in a way that caused you to notice as suspicious?
Based on the comments of those who know Minecraft, I'm inclined to think most folks genuinely believed the House was the best choice for us.
Here are my general observations:
1. Bandwagons are the bread and butter of evil. It removes the burden of proof from them, because they can conveniently point to the case everyone else made.
2. On Day 1, a civilian will almost always vote first.*
3. We are statistically likely on Day 1 to lynch a civilian, unfortunately. In a sense, a Day 1 mislynch is a civilian gambit: We lose one of our own to gain a contextual insights.
4. We are almost certain to lynch a civilian anyway because the Zombie can play the old switcheroo on us. (I am correct in assuming that's what "switch one lynch during the game" means, right?)
*Of course, now that I've said that, I've opened the possibility of that not being the case, but it is a corollary of point #1, I should think.

FACT: the baddies have BTSC.
FACT: This little snit we have going on started off between Roxy and Snow Dog, was joined by me and finally grew to include S~V~S.
QUESTION: why would an intelligent baddie willingly leap into a conflict between civvies and risk implicating himself when it would be far easier to lie back and let the civvies lynch each other? And wold he not, realizing this, advise his comrades to do the same?
CONCLUSION: I am at this point less likely to suspect Snow Dog, Roxy and S~V~S than I am those who have largely avoided the topic, and I hope others will follow my reasoning and see that I would have to be more stupid than I like to think I am to insert myself between Roxy and Snow Dog if I were in fact bad.
Goodnight.
Were I a gambling man (and I am), and I had to wager the contents of my wallet ($15 and a coupon for a free waffle), I would bet that much of the evil may be found in the moderate-to-low posters (say, 2-5 posts). That's excluding Mr. Sock, because he's noisy no matter what.
Bad folks know that, generally speaking, a conflict of any sort provides the impetus for a lynch. For that reason, I am not comfortable lynching Day 0 disputers. The prospect smells bad- bad and convenient.
The moderate posters include DisgruntledPorcupine, Ambray, LittleTiger, >SpaghettiEverywhere, indiglo, He-Man, Elohcin, & Russtifinko. I think that's everyone. If I don't hear from these people this morning, and barring further developments, that is likely where my vote is heading.
