I get sad.

I don't really get more excited about getting rid of a player we know next to nothing about.

I'd rather votes were used to gather info, so when they fail to garner a response (whether due to actual absences or purposeful avoidance), it's a lot harder to read the reasoning behind the votes. This makes the train doubly ineffective if we chose poorly.

Me too. I'm almost to the font, though.

Which is why I suggested we hold off on any more votes.

Well I'm not sure how we know he's been on. The "who's looking at the thread thing" is not 100% accurate. That being said he has had a lot of time to defend himself, and if he doesn't defend himself in a timely manner or satisfactorily, then those last three votes should be easy to obtain.

I generally want to use my most useful stuff soonest, otherwise I fear I will die without having used the power, so I get that.

Just a data point for people to know; I'm not drawing conclusions from it:

Mich last posted (elsewhere) when he had 5 votes here, and has not said anything. He may not have read the thread, or he may not have considered 5 votes worthy of a response, or he may have not wanted to reply for various reasons.

Not to resurrect the D1 argument, but how do you expect to get meaningful Day 1 words without any kind of Day 1 pressure? (Rhetorical, please let's don't do this dance again right now)

I know this is kinda your neurosis, but we've got 5 hours and its the middle of the day, when most people are around. We'll be fine.

Which is why I'm a little leery of leaving him 3 away with the better part of a real-life day left.

....aaaaand Nifty posted while I was posting that. Yes, we don't know if he looked at the thread, but we do know he was on the Realms when he had 5 votes.

I don't find that all that damning in itself, but it's data. If he doesn't reply today, I would find that damning.

I real-life Lolled.

I don't mean to push to close, I just didn't want everyone pulling votes, either.

I'll hold off my vote for the moment, but if we don't get anything from michiganj24 by 11/11:30ish (roughly 1-1 and a half hours from now) I'll put my vote in on him.

Or there's an untrackable killer.

Or Captain Nifty is mafia (as someone copped him) and targeted a player who died (Rokk).

How about a name with that power claim?

I don't get pop ups. It can be turned off.

Indeed, my friend. That is how I feel every time I visit a Mafia thread.

Mine is turned off too.

And yes, I am always suspicious of a lack of a name claim in a wide open theme.
