No - your vote counted, I just missed it. Finished it up. Damn stupid Proboards just ate my final vote count. Give me a minute.

He didn't say either way. He either missed your vote, or there was a reason it didn't count. charlie unvoted Cookies and voted me. Whether it counts or not shoudn't affect the final results, unless there's something seriously hinky going on.

My point was that if his vote didn't count, there may have been other vote shenanigans in play that would/could have affected the final results.

'cause I could get on board with that.

Meaning the likelihood of someone falseclaiming vig on day one is much lower than the likelihood of the actual vig stumbling into the lynch leader spot on their own? Sort of. Meaning that the cost of being wrong and lynching the actual Town vig on d1 way outweighs the benefit of guessing right and lynching someone who falsely claimed Town vig, even assuming roughly equal frequencies of false and true claims (and I would expect someone who claims Town vig in that spot to be telling the truth well over 50 percent of the time anyway). Basically, it's better (or "less bad") to let a false vig live on d1 than to lynch an actual town vig on d1, so unless we have very good reason to believe that the claim is false, we should opt not to lynch a claimed vig this early.

One more heave and we're in four figures! Actually, we met that goal with Peeker's post. The post number refers to the number of replies. His post was the 999th reply to storyteller's OP making it the 1000th post overall in the thread.

But if you wish to, all that means is that I got the carpet-cleaning post.Either way, I win.

Didn't storyteller run the superhero game where the day ended when someone had 75 percent of the votes or something? Man, we hated that.

I knew I'd forgotten something. The letter-not-handshaking-theory: I actually like it. And don't really see any drawbacks. Mostly because when I mod games I always provide scum with tons of fake Roles and will even write them new ones based on their wishes. It's because faking my way of writing would be almost impossible to someone with English as their native tongue. But being restricted with a line of letters like proposed would make the job a lot harder. Storyteller has a unique way of writing and so faking a Role in this game not written by him would be more than difficult. I'd say almost impossible. It's the mix of humour with fiction and color that's hard to match. He might have provided Scum with fake Roles - but if we make them have to choose one early in the game it will be harder for them to rationalise after the events when claiming. Let's say a Scum is on the line and have to claim. Let's say we have a watcher and they have been seen. Now the Scum can't claim to have been a doctor and trying to protect if every one they visited died the same Night. Or I guess they could - but it would make the claim so much harder to believe. So I am all for trying the share-your-letters-theory. Will it do us any good? Maybe. Will it hurt us? I don't really see how. We all agree that Town needs information and so on. Vote Ullz.
I wonder if a Vote, Unvote, Vote, for the same triggers devices.
