Bah, a likely story! How convenient for you to avoid accountability.

This is such a cop-out. Why exactly is being a low poster at this point such a problem? You're basically trying to justify just throwing a lynch vote away. Votes Juliets

A low poster could be someone who is avoiding conversation in order not to be noticed and thus not voted for. You will also hear people use the term 'flying low' for someone who posts the minimal amount and doesn't add anything to the discussions.

And what you did right here is called a "switcheroo" which means voting for someone just because they voted for you. Also a baddie tactic.

So normally I would think this makes you more suspicious but I do see how new you are so maybe you didn't know.

Also, RIP LT it's very sad to see you go. And welcome to the "I got lynched on my birthday" club.

Boo's behavior was a bit weird in that he seemed incredibly fixated on voting BWT who had not shown and there was still plenty of discussion to be had. LT's early vote seems a bit weird, and I'm not sure I buy that it was because she mixed up the poll times, although it could be a genuine mistake. Additionally, Rox's behavior to try to get some sort of response out of me with my reasoning behind my Day 0 vote, as well as her reasoning for her planned vote today (randomized based off of fisherman and auger voters only) and her recent posts about randomizing just don't make sense to me and make me wonder if she did have info regarding the Day 0 poll.

That being said, I don't feel confident at all any of those players are even baddie at this point, but that's what I've noticed. I think it's too early to be going after low posters or no shows, personally, since I do have those three observations.

I also don't feel any of these people are pinging me particularly strongly, so I'm randomizing among the three names (well, two, since Rox is not on the poll), and I got LT.

MP I am using your post as a springboard for my vote because you touch on the significant debates for the day today.

Regarding boos behavior, I went back and read the post he is getting all the heat on and in my opinion he clearly says he is probably going to vote BWT if nothing else interesting comes up:

boo wrote:BWT is the only one who hasn't posted yet I believe. So if that doesn't change before I need to vote and nothing interesting comes up I'll probably vote for him.

It seemed to me that after this statement people were assuming he had or was absolutely going to vote BWT but that is not what I read here. Also, MP had not announced at this point that BWT was in Virginia. This statement plus his later one just did not read to me as "incredibly fixated" on BWT so I don't see a boo vote today. Maybe later in retrospect.

I do believe LT was genuine in her mistake about the poll times. And I've seen this argument about randomizing vs. finding a reason even if its just a slight ping in more than one game. I think it's all about people's opinions because I have never seen any stats showing what is true. My gut is that one is just like the other, both are attempts to deal with a very difficult vote. So, i don't condemn her for randomizing and believe she did it early by mistake.

As for Roxy, so far she just looks like normal Roxy to me and nothing about her tripped any wires for me.

So I'm looking at the people who haven't been around and I think Kate (I think it was Kate) brings up a good point about someone new being more likely to be quiet and bad as the game begins. Using that reasoning, I'm going to vote for AATB today for his lack of presence discussing the issues.

oh gosh, lots of linki and other people voting others for other reasons. I'm going ahead with my vote though.
