I know you're new so here's a little overview of a typical day 1. The first two pages are generally nothing but joke votes with people voting for others 'cuz of their avatar, the color of their socks, or because God told them to. Around page 3-4 someone will generally make a wild accusation and suddenly the word 'scum' starts getting thrown back and forth a lot. Basically, day 1 we don't lynch just anyone. We lynch the people based on who seems the scummiest in their manner and posting. We look for scumtells that point to them trying to hide something or having ulterior motives (e.g. bandwaggoning, lurking, blatant disregard for facts, misquoting someone else, etc). Once someone seems too scummy too ignore, we will start pressuring them with more votes. Once they are close to a lynch they will claim a role. We, as a group will then decide the validity of their claim and either lynch or forgive accordingly.

Basically, the lynch isn't just determined randomly and it won't be as if they "won't get a chance to do anything" because they have plenty of chances to defend themselves.

And should we lynch a townie, not all is lost. We can then look back in the posting record and see who did what and use that as grounds for deciding if someone was the cause of that townie's death (SCUM!). Generally I disapprove of no lynch's because we are then left with very little info the next day, but occasionally they work out for the better in small games like this.

unvote for now

Quick question: What is "FoS"? I assume it's different from voting (as implied by the quote(s) above)?

FoS stands for Finger of Suspicion. It basically is saying you think someone is scummy but you don't want to vote them.

And for the record there is no need to unFoS someone

Example:

(Start of page 3)Me: Vote pmc for posting above me

Wercool or some other person: That's SCUMMY because you voted him for no reason you SCUM so vote colton24 you SCUM

Me: It was a joke vote! The day started 6 hours ago

7 votes and a truthful roleclaim later.

Colton24 Town Watcher has been lynched.

Other joke votes before me:

Vote fircoal for having yellow hair
Vote ace for being born in 1217
Vote Mr Squirrel for having a hat

Like hell there isn't. FOS: colton unfos: colton because there were two seconds between the FOS and the unFOS and it caused me to reconsider.

Victor I understand the concern about accidentally voting for a town's person day 1 but really, if all we do is vote no lynch and let it go directly to night...what do we have to work on? We'd have to rely on A. that day 2 we would get something to go on since we didn't find any info to go on from Day 1...B. That a cop stumbles onto a mafia member while having little clue as to whom to vote for. You should never rush to a lynch but you also shouldn't just no lynch on Day 1 without letting discussion go around for at least a little while.

Well I have played games on different websites and it has become a habit of me to UnFos if I have changed my view of a person, mainly because I have seen many towns lynch people purely because that person and a lot of Fos's on them. It was always important to tell the players playing when you stop suspecting someone.
