    But isn’t this Tom’s first game? I was quite nervous to put my head above the parapet in my first couple of games.

    You are correct in thinking it is my first game. I've only skim read one day from a previous game, and that's all I have to go on.

    Very annoying as I want to vote for you because of your gibberish but also think you'd keep a lower profile if you were evil. But then I can't think of a good reason for voting for anyone else as we have nothing to go on... so should I just vote for someone who is more likely to lead Team Good up various dead ends than actually help them in the game?

    It's a fair point. I am Icelandic - not sure I'd like to be Fenrir though as I know how that ends for him at Ragnarok.

    I'm tempted to vote for you for this historically inaccurate post.

    Haha, yeah it was tenuous from me to make the link! And I agree with the theory that Opti is unlikely to be outing people in his 1st post.

    I also suspect the Fenrir was based on Harry Potter more than anything deeper!

    Would be nice to have a set cut-off time so no one is voted off because of missing it and we can maximise what time we have?

    Appreciate you’re busy @Optimistichornet bit can we get a set time?

    I have no clue who to vote for really. Seems a shame to send Tom out early on his first game based on nothing and having told him to keep a low profile.

    Opti suggested 9pm on the Voting thread. Not a firm one though.

    Likewise - feel like I want to get my vote in soon so I can get down and hit a few balls at the driving range.

    Just feel like i'm pi$$ing into the wind with whoever I go for at this point though. Some of the theories have been really "reaching" this afternoon! :D

    If you genuinely think you've uncovered two members of team evil on the first day without one being in a viewing then you are even more of a hindrance to team good than I thought!

    But conversely, makes it harder to vote for you as more likely you're good as doubt anyone on evil would be doing anything other than keeping their powder dry at the moment.

    I'm with you on this however usually day 1 ends with no finger pointing, this day 1 has led to multiple finger pointings!

    Going for Diamond as the first person to endorse the nonsense "dot theory" in the voting thread - if you look back on the first page alone five people use "..." in their posts! Are they all Team Evil? :confused:

    He also said that evil players are very quiet early on which isn't true in my experience, they're usually quite chatty but don't offer many opinions and just reinforce others'.

    Can someone give me a post no with the explanation of the EB . Theory? I'm on phone and it's a faff.

    There isn’t much of a theory there.

    The trouble with voting for a player who has been quiet and non committal with their posts is that you’re at risk of lynching the Seer as well as the Wolf. In these early days, the Seer won’t want to alert the Wolf to their identity.

    Why on earth has horn Pete votes for me???
    He is not a newbie is he?

    seems very suspicious and signalling rather openly when I’m good and about to be wolf food anyway

    How does that help team good at all?

    he needs viewing

    You’re right that it doesn’t help team good and I have no clue what his reasoning is for that - but, equally, I don’t think a member of the evil team would vote in such an obviously wrong way that would make them a target. The evil team will want to fly under the radar with their voting as well as with their posts.

    That’s true, but we have nothing else to go on, so why not go for the only person voting for an almost guaranteed good player.

    Conversely Team Evil only have to sit back on the first day and let us sow the seeds of confusion considering we have nothing to go on. I think message one is the seer and an experienced wolf posted the second message.

    Agreed the second message is more likely the wolf. How experienced are you at this game, by the way?

    @Hornpete

    care to explain your vote? I’d be fascinated to hear your reasoning as I think we all would. Unless you have some bizarre role where opti tells you who you have to vote for I can’t fathom a reason.
    Or you are sacrificing yourself??? To save whoever the voting was going for?

    I am voting Pete because I have no idea why he would vote someone who is 99% confirmed good in my eyes.

    Clarification - there are no clues in the opening chapter.
