Hmm... weird?? See I thought all information is good. And since this is day 1, and I am getting flack for not providing value, I thought I would share something verse nothing. Even with a power role there is very little information that can add value without damaging town. My name claim is a beign way to contrib value. At the very least shows my intention of adding value to the game. If all information is good, why aren't you sharing all of your information? I'm not recommending that you do. You've obviously chosen to share some information. Why is that information worth sharing and other information isn't? How is your name claim benign? How is it useful? By benign, do you mean worthless?

On the Scooby Snacks, the butlers says, in the OP: Butler: Indeed, sir, we are known for our Scooby Snacks AND our ghost. We deliver fresh Scooby Snacks to every guest every morning. I would expect every guest to receive the same amount of Scooby Snacks at the start of every Day, until something happens, where "something" would a mechanism to stop the snack distribution. An idea would be that some players are members of the Hotel staff, in charge of delivering the product, and the distribution stops if they're dead.

By benign, do you mean worthless? benign = not good, not bad, depending on what roles are in the game the information I provided could be beneficial later or it could be completely worthless.. At this point I just don't know.

The information you shared is not good (and not bad). it might be good later in the game (of course, you could have shared it later in the game as well) So, basically, you really don't have a reason for why you claimed a name.

Vote Special Ed
Maybe I am way off base but I just don't understand why Ed is so aggressive towards Cap.In my limited experience with this game it has turned out that the people who try the hardest to single out another are covering up or diverting from themselves. Cap is actually the only player here that I have played with before and I've always found him to be an asset to the game and his team, whichever side he is on. I don't know Ed and maybe this is just his playing style but I don't feel like Cap has done anything to deserve a vote.
Fluff- Unfortunately I have to go sit in a hospital for 2 days and watch my poor little guy get poked and prodded so I will be away for a while and very unlikely to come across an internet connection, that is why I am placing a vote now. I will do my best to convince a nice nurse to tell me where I cam steal a wireless connection but if I can't I will check in as soon as I get back home.

The comment I find curious is the following: 5. Regarding the location of Daphne. I think it's probably best not to comment because that way the Scum won't know if I know where she is or not." Ed, why do you think scum need to worry about whether you know where Daphne is or not? This comment just seems to me to possibly contain a bit too much knowledge about the scum team's operations. I think this is enough for an early Day 1 vote. Vote Special Ed
way to take things out of context. I was commenting on everything that has happened in the game. Some people spoke about the whereabouts of Daphne. I chose to note the comment and not add to it for I don't see it benefiting Town and potentially hurting Town. See, other people were talking about it. I was commenting on their comments. Actually, more to the point, I was pointing out that other people were commenting on it and indicating that such comments are not beneficial. So, see my options were: 1. Comment on if I know where Daphne is. 1a. Perhaps I do know. Now Scum know that I know. Does it help Town? No. Can it help Scum? Maybe. 1b. Perhaps I don't know. If it's important to Scum then they know I don't know. 2. Not comment on if I know. I chose 2. And you voted for me. ~~~ So, I'm going to chalk this up as a "lynch the loud" vote masquerading as a PIS vote. You've posted, contributed almost nothing to the game, found an innocuous statement, twisted it and used it to vote for a person who already has a vote. Now that's kinda Scummy. I realized that other player's had brought it up and discussed it. If you had said something like "I don't know if the lack of Daphne in color is important or not. I will just wait and see." I probably would not have thought much about it. But your comment seemed much more specific, talking about Daphne's location and seemed to contain an implicit assumption that that was information that the scum team needed. I honestly had forgotten that you already had a vote on you when I placed that, but it didn't matter, I would have voted you anyway. The only discussion of Daphne before your comment was BillMc mentioning that she was not in the opening color and Guiri speculating that she had been kidnapped as she often is in the show. There had been no discussion of what this might mean in the game, and definitely no discussion about her location possibly being important. So what comments about Daphne were you trying to point out were not beneficial? I am not trying to twist any statement here. It is possible I have misinterpreted it, but I don't really think so.

I do have a reason. and I have stated it. The information I shared has value, and it has the potential to be verified at some point. I shared the information to help town and to show you and others that I plan on being engaged and active in the game. And to post something beside yummy drink recipes... What value / dis-value / intentions do you see?

guiri mentioned that Captain Pinkies had bread-crumbed in the Holy Grail game. I've heard of bread-crumbing and would like to look at a real example. Can you please post a link to lead me to an understanding? (I searched this thread for "bread", clicked add quote, and ended up with just the one word from guiri's post! ... which I've left as-is to celebrate the marvels of message-board software. ) As to whether I'm a poor player, facetious, and/or hinky-seeming, I'll plead guilty on all three counts. (But I do have one unheralded claim to glory. In my very first post in my very first game (Pleonast's C4) I diagnosed Idle's ploy exactly! My analysis was immediately deprecated, and, anyway, I was correct only by chance, like the "stopped clock that is right twice a day" ;D )

Just curious, why did I post that 15 point list of all the activity n the game up until then? Oh, yeah, it was because it was pointed out that I wasn't commenting on the happenings in the game. So I commented on every significant event that had happened in the game. Including the comments about Daphne. Vote: Special Ed A vote for me isn't bad. I am Daphne, and I'm a miller type of role. It appears that my only power is the ability to be kidnapped. I doubt that it's beneficial to Town anyway.

Oh, and if someone has the ability to communicate with me privately, I encourage you to do so.
Let me know if it's worth my while to transfer my Scooby Snacks to you, and barring that, who it might be good to give them to.
~~~~~~~~
And, to everyone else, maybe a little Scum hunting in the coming days might be good, instead of just voting someone for being aggressive and spurring discussion.
Or, alternately, you could just sit around and drink iced tea while the Scum pick you off.

Nice to meet you Little Teapot, I am Lily McGee. Is that your real name, your character, or a joke? I'd like to echo this. I also don't participate much during the real weekend. --FCOD How about during the rest of the week? Will you be voting him pre-emptively as long as he survives in the game? Nope, I'll vote for whomever In trust the least/suspect the most. As of right now,it's pretty close to a tie between everyone, so I'll stick with my prod vote. That's fine but Pinkies has participated toDay. While you may not be happy with the quality of his contributions, you must agree that your vote has already had its intended effect. In the previous game, the low posts was a strategy I was trying. As it worked out it didn't provide the value I was hoping for. I find this very hard to believe unless your strategy was to gather enough penalty votes to ensure your lynch Day 6 was automatic. What value were you hoping for?

He has participated more. I agree. Of course, it's been mostly drink recipes, and a defense of posting drink recipes. and a name claim with confusing rationale.

and to be clear, when I say I'm a miller type role, I doubt that I'll investigate as Scum. My intention was to point out that my 'power' is probably anti-Town, and as such, removing me from the game might not be a bad thing.

Can you please post a link to lead me to an understanding? OK. I may be reading between the lines but looking back there were quite a few players who hinted at their character name or role in that game: Sister Coyote was Tim the EnchanterPinkies was VT and the Hiccoughing GuardBill was Roger the ShrubberOne of best breadcrumbs I've seen - which went completely unnoticed by Town, was Astral in LoTR mafia. He was Shelob, a scum, but couldn't communicate with scum until they identified him. On Day 1 he posted about spiderwebs and his suspicious eye moving elsewhere and was quickly united with his scum buddies.
