First mod vote (Mon 10-1)

[niceguy]

If you want to play it risky, you can always have your alt claim to be a vig, maybe a seer will out themselves to him.

Other than that, can just lay low.

[thorgot]

Well, we don't even know if there is a vigilante. Or if there is more than one vigilante. Or what. If there's just one vigilante, (if the junior admin is one), it would be suicide to claim the role.

The best bet is to have him act in a way that would get him seered. Asking to be seered is bad, especially since it's pretty obvious to everybody that there is a thrall in the game.

One idea is to have him post "I'm having trouble choosing who to protect today, since I can't do it to myself," and then edit it to say "I'm having trouble choosing who to vote for today, since I can't do it to myself" ten minutes later.

And if people quote it, he can ask them to edit it out.

[thorgot]

In fact, I will quote it, and edit it out myself.

Unless I hear objections to this brilliant plan soon, I'm going to PM him and ask him to do it.

[thorgot]

PMed LCE:

I need you to do something for me.

Post this in the thread: "I'm having trouble choosing who to protect today. There's just not enough information."

Between 2 and 3 minutes later, edit it to say "I'm having trouble choosing who to vote for."

I will be quoting you and then editing my post out a few minutes later. With any luck, other people will do the same. All this is designed to draw some attention to you tonight without being obvious.

Please do this when I'm online, and preferably as soon as possible.

[thorgot]

Well, that didn't work too well.

From Stew, forwarded by LCE:

"I'm not sure if that was a slip of the tongue or not, but I'll have you know that not only am I a mod, but I'm also a seer. In my first few posts I was trying to get the other seer to contact me. I'd appreciate the protection tonight, just in case someone targets me for it. "

Not sure what your full plan was or how you want me to respond here, if at all.

To be honest, this strikes me as trying to draw a kill onto a villager, as there is no way a seer would contact somebody like that the first day. A trap to a trap, as it were.

[niceguy]

Right now, my thoughts are to not act on that pm tonight.

We should see who contacts him tonight.

I also think that when the time comes, we should work with the other GT's and focus all of our kills in one forum. We only have to purge one forum to win, I think. Better a bad guy victory than a village victory.

As for who we should kill tonight, I'm not sure.

[thorgot]

If it becomes important in the future, Raakam is a Plain Ol Forumer. I see no reason why his metagaming can't be of some use to us.

[niceguy]

As for the people to kill, the people I want dead aren't the best people to off right now.

Ardor and Grundl we shouldn't keep around, but I don't think we should kill either tonight.

Ardor has been quiet, though, so he may be a special.

I'm sort of leaning to killing last son or variable.

[thorgot]

Well, there's a 24% chance that somebody isn't a special, so it's pretty likely he is. But we still want to kill specials.

I'd rather not kill Ardor yet, because I am the only one who has any sort of motive to grudge him. Either of your suggestions are fine.

[irenedadler]

Should we all send in an order, or is one person's PM enough?

[niceguy]

One person should be enough. If ElJeffe approves, we can just post our orders on the board and he can take them from there.

Do you want to send in the orders, Thorgot?

[thorgot]

I already sent the orders for tonight, but I don't care who does it in general. Just make sure to post it in the orders thread so we know that somebody has done it.
