    As Sasaki has taught us, a bandwagon and not mere pressure voting is the surest means available to us to get a read on someone. I would, normally, vote Tran at this point. I will refrain because the initial vote was weakly promulgated. Tran, a vivid defense would still be nice.

    Vote: Abstain

    Tally:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Tran-2 (roadkill, stig)
    Abstain - 1 (seamus)


    As to the 4 choices, I wouldn't try to over-think things. Orb is not going to play "gotcha" and punish us for a wrong choice. He is providing different routes which have inherent weaknesses and stregths.

    1. Gold Vein: Always useful, speeds up item acquisition, but while helping us prepare to meet the champions (and possibly our individual acquisition goals), it does not change the basic "matrix" for finding the spies.

    2. Honey: some form of mental enhancement -- increased information. Helps with the spy hunt, but does very little to prepare for the champions.

    3. Armory: Direct access to cool weapons and armors, obviously helpful in fighting the champions -- but also allows the "bad'uns" access to advanced weaponry -- possibly enabling them to day-klll more readily by issuing challenges to "train up" for the champions.

    4. Execute: One bad guy gone, direct value but no other info/advantage.

    Choose: Honey -- I always crave information in games such as these.

    Tally:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Execute-2 (sapi, roadkill)
    Honey-3 (GK, pever, Seamus)
    Vent-2 (CA, TB)
    Armoury-1 (tran)

    My bad, obviously I wasn't paying good enough attention to the thread. Sorry for being a scatterbrain, Stig.

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Vote: Ignoramus. Something of a random vote, but he hasn't been posting much, and the mafia has been missing there kills, it seems. And folks, don't lynch Tran. You're reasons for lynching him are pretty awful anyways.

    Tally:

    Tran 2-(Stig,Roadkill)
    Ignoramus 1-(Greaterkhaan)
    Abstain 1-(Seamus)

    What defense, Seamus? What in the hell are you and Stig talking about...? All these votes against me are just appear more like random vote and bandwagon...

    Also, Stig, would you like to explain more why you vote? What "first to do this"?

    I've stated why we should lynch in-active people...now I'd like to hear from you why you should lynch me?

    Both of you voted for someone who's dead. That's either because you aren't paying attention or because you're mafia and thinking: "well abstaining is to obvious and Caius got lynched for that, so I'll just do a random vote." And you got caught with it. Now I'm going for the last one.

    Since you were first to do it I voted you.


    Voting inactive people, OK. Voting dead people, not OK.

    Thanks for the response.

    I actually like the stridency here. Having been a mafioso a time or two, I know you tend to "double think" such posts wondering if they are too much and will make you stand out.

    BTW, it is generating responses that such votes are all about.

    Following GK's lead, I'll now:

    unVOTE: Abstain; new VOTE: Ignoramus.

    Tally:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Tran 2 - (Stig, Roadkill)
    Ignoramus 2 - (Greaterkhaan, Seamus)


    Iggy, you are usually far more active than this if you are playing at all. What say you?

    Choose: Honey

    Meh, I'm more the information kind of guy.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Tally:Execute-2 (sapi, roadkill)
    Honey-4 (GK, pever, Seamus, WH)
    Vent-2 (CA, TB)
    Armoury-1 (tran)


    And, I don't think Ignoramus should be lynched. He voted in the first round, and then didn't say anything I believe. That, for me, means more inactivity due to something coming up or just forgetfulness, rather than mafia acting. But I don't know much, having rarely played with him.

    Round will end sometime tomorrow evening, when I'm back from exams.

    Person with the most votes then gets executed.
