History would dictate that I should vote a no-poster here, but history also says you shouldn’t march on Russia in the winter. I think that’s crock, see? You just have to wear thicker outer layers and bring more rations. I have it all figured out! While other poindexters might put their head down and wait until summer to make an offensive push on the oppressive czar of the day, I confidently proclaim “naw,” get on my bike and
ride forth, baby. Instead of following the narrative “learn from the past’s mistakes,” I choose to “make mistakes in the future.” I choose to never make new beginnings by always postponing the endings.
Life is a haiku made up of an infinite spew of lines.
Anyway,
[VOTE:
Bea] aubergine
Wait. What? I didn't understand any of this. It was like a Dali painting but with words in my brain.

I have an idea of who the mafia is, but it's not who I'm voting at the moment. Though, the person I'm voting may also be mafia, who knows.
I am confused by this logic as well.

I voted bea because
A) she is extremely cheery
B) she is the first in the poll
C) I don’t know if it’s pronounced “bay” or “bee” or “bah-ee”
But mainly e) her first post was quoting another post, which is suspicious.
Boom! Roasted.
A) I am Bea (pronounced bee. Short for Beatrice.). I am usually extremely cheery especially at the start when I am just happy to talk to people. It's been like 8 years since I've played so I am probably extra cheery.
B) I, sadly, have been voted on for less.
C) I am curious as to what happened to point D in the list.

I voted Bea.
That makes my heart sad. Even if it was short lived.

Visions of Day 1’s of old are running through my mind. I’m not inclined to just let it go in the undisciplined manner of yesteryear. I need more meat to chew on from everyone first. I’m thankful that my night away coincided with Night 0 instead of the first half of Day 1.

That being said, I actually think sig coming out and throwing caution to the wind with regards to his spelling and grammar is townie, if not reckless. Could be WIFOM, but that role is incredibly restrictive to my *vibe* which comes with autocorrect errors and incomplete sentences. So I get it.
The grammar police role is mafia. Making typos does not benefit town.
Valid point indeed! But the civvies have an adverb checker, so we should play it old school like when lie detector roles were still in vogue and pressure everyone to post a unique adverb. Anyone who resists must die.
I agree with what G-man is laying down here.
Adverbs in generaly VASTLY improve communication. They can also HEAVILY color meaning in terms of connoative associations.
(Oh! I almost souned smart up there!)

Y'all should know to give me a little leeway before suspecting me, especially when I've been away for so many years.
No mercy for the cakemaker!

I do not like this post, nor do I like the vote for Bea. Mind you, I think voting for Bea in general is reasonable because people always tend to trust her, which makes her dangerous on the occasions when she is mafia, but Axey’s vote came without explanation and was a pile on after a (marginally) more justified vote.
Also, why would you not vote for who you think the mafia is?
I am worthy of trust this time round llamaloo!
Also, Hiiiiiiii! Miss you sir!

I am now curious as to how I taste.

I think Dharma and Wilgy are villagers
I liked Scotty asking about the reason of receiving a town read
I have mixed feelings about Eloh I think they can go either way
I am sorry if I make any gender mistake, for players I don't know I will use they but I would appreciate help here.eta infos would be great!
Also I wish to know everyone's time zone.
I live in East Europe and for me is 10:30 pm now
I am female. My time is currently 2:47 pm. I am in Arizona (US) where time is bizzare.

My sense is that the mafia is laying low right now. Kate has only two posts. Lorab has only three, although she also has a good excuse. Bea has no posts on Day 1 yet. I’ll be watching these players very closely.

Is there a reason you skipped over dfaraday who only has 1?
Interesting point. Upon further reading of the thread "forgot him" feels on brand for DF too.

There would be nothing more ‘classic mafia’ than DF being D1 lynched for low posting.

Hopefully they posts and we can make a read because lynching a low poster at random is a coin flip.
I would say ‘at random’ excludes meta reads. Lynching a low posting DF on day 1 feels like worse odds than a coin flip to me.
This all vibes better for golden imo. Far too many mafia games lose civ DF for low posting right out the gate if memory serves correctly.

The fact that no one is trying to lynch me on Day One is very out of character for this site and is making me uneasy.
I don't remember you being in the hot seat on day 1 much, but things change I guess and I've been gone a minute.

I could see this. Especially if mafia are people that haven’t played in awhile they’ll be more likely to hang back and get acclimated
I am not mafia. I have however been gone a long time. Getting acclimated after a long break isn't a baddie behavior per say. In my case, it is "I've been gone a long time. Dusting off cobwebs is strange. My enviornment is both strange and familiar."
As for the vote, I don't really know. Day 1 is hard. All the cases seem pretty weak. I generally see the good in everyone.
