Witches -- Day One

[witch1]

Vindy and Inner Stickler are having their own conversation and missing my role claim. To be fair, neither of them voted for me, IIRC.

And now Vindy read my claim. But this is unusual: "It won't take that many votes to save our friend Scuba here. Is he the witch? Heck I don't know, nor would I want the witch to counter claim. But Scuba is a dead man from one of the factions given enough time if he is the witch, so we shouldn't lynch him, not today. "

What's with that last bit? Is Vindy keeping open the option of lynching a claimed Town power role

[witch6]

Haven't had the surgery yet, don't even have it scheduled yet.

Actually, I think he's leaving the option open just in case you're proved to be lying.

It is often the case that masons look like Scum because we do have multiple brains, because we are able to talk about things, just like the Wolves do.

I've composed a "self-defense." But am afraid it will do more harm than good. What do fellow Witches think?

I do not understand the votes against me. KidV seems like Scum trying to Lynch Town, but what about the rest of you?

Vote Septimus
- for squirming, I thought your original reason for voting Peeker was OK

Here's the original reason I gave for my vote on Peeker:

When peeker is Town, I think he tries to put some useful pro-Town purpose into his posts. I don't see that so far in this game:

When KidV insisted I "elaborate" I wrote

I voted for three players, all of whom I find slightly suspicious. I'd also hope for a better vote, but it's hard on any Day 1, and seems especially hard toDay. (And I don't think Peeker's been directing discussion productively, though I realize anti-Town doesn't imply Scum.) I'll say again that players should take advantage of the multiple vote. (It will be especially handy if I'm suspicious of two or more players but can't be on-line at EOD to switch my vote to the lynchable one.)

There is an argument for, when in doubt, Lynching a Player with high penalties -- less is lost if it's a misLynch since his survival was precarious anyway. With Pleo's forgiveness rule the penalties against Peeker become slightly less significant. Still, I don't see a better place for my votes yet.

Is this "squirming"? I don't see it. I did present the argument to Lynch a Player with penalties, which I'd omitted before. Is that Scummy?

I do become an easy target because my communication skills are poor, even slightly autistic. Guiri has played with me before and it makes me suspicious that he finds me suspicious. :facepalm:

[witch6]

I don't see it, either, but I think best to leave it for now; anything further and you'll paint a bigger target on yourself -- not a good idea with the vote so close to swinging.

PS: I assume we're allowed to Edit posts on this secret board. Correct?

I can't give penalty votes for what goes on on secret boards.

But I can waggle my finger at you. :waggle:

[witch1]

I concur with Sis - save it for D2 if it gets brought back up. We're at lynch minus 2h, keep it relatively quiet unless a last-minute bandwagon builds on you.

"Protecting a player will cause all killing attacks (including an Alpha-Wolf block-kill, unless it is a self protection, but not a Warlock's curse) targeting them to fail. "

One of you two ought to Protect me tonight, and the other carry out our Investigation. I'm the obvious target for the Alpha Wolf's block-kill power. Something for us to discuss Tonight.

One minute left and RedSkee just voted KidV (but wrong color)

I avn Unvote Peeker and kill KidV -- should I?

ETA: Heart racing from my indecision; Day over anyway; fortunately I remembered to take my Beta blockers to slow hear!

[witch1]

Too late to do so, Septy. And it probably would have stunk of smudge KidV / snuggle Peeker. Though that could have been... interesting depending on how they flip.

I'm still on for investigating PizzaGuy or Giraffe. Who else is worth examining at this time? ETA: Or KidV, he survived Red's lynch attempt; the vote count puts peeker in the noose.
