    Ruuuuude. I voted on Swan because they cast votes in a suspiciously noncommittal way. I for one am perfectly ready to accept responsibility for helping lynch Swan, be Swan an elim or a villager. Edit: Reading up to the most recent part of the thread, Swan isn't getting lynched at this point. That's okay, but I really haven't looked at Dingo very closely. So, for now, my vote will stay put. I need to read Dingo's posts to have a verdict. Edit #2: Well, I've read all of the stuff about Dingo. I'll level with you, I don't really see the case for it. Dingo said a bunch of short NAI comments. The got voted on for varying activity levels, which they confirmed was a timezone thing. I get it if you want to lynch a less active person, but in that case, why not lynch the least active person that isn't likely to be replaced by a pinch hitter anytime soon? I do not believe the Dingo lynch is a good choice, so I re-affirm my vote on Swan. Also, everyone seems to be worried about leaving this lynch open to vote manipulators. I would like to suggest that it's actually a very good idea to make the D1 lynch close. The main thing we get out of a D1 lynch is information. If the lynch is close, that means more people are involved, and we can watch and see what the vote manipulators do. This ends up giving us a lot more information. I mean, sure, maybe in the late game, we want to make absolutely sure that vote manipulators can't swing a lynch. But right now, this early in the game? I think that protecting against vote manipulation is more just an excuse for early game bandwagoning.

    Karthik stood on the edge of the crowd, watching the proceedings with a vaguely interested but preoccupied expression. "You know, it's ironic," he spoke, addressing nobody in particular. He inclined his head, feeling the first drops of a gentle rain picking up overhead. "Our first urge is to accuse. We first call one man a murderer, and then another," he mused. "And perhaps another, and then yet another... And so on. Until the music stops, anyway. Somebody is left standing." Double metaphors, what fun. "But the really funny part? The really funny part is... We're all about to become murderers." Karthik looked up, his face betraying little in the ways of true humor. "Justice is, truly, a funny business. What could we possibly mean by it? Where is the notion of justice when all stand guilty?" He paused. "Most, probably, will end up dead, having murdered each other. In a way, that might be just. It is fitting that a killer be killed, and it is doubly fitting that a group of killers be killed by their own doing. But even then, is justice properly carried out? A few will be left standing when all others fall. And surely those few who are left standing are among the most grievous of murderers, yet it would seem that the price they pay is little enough compared to the rest." "Justice, then, does not really belong to us. Curious, that we should know so keenly a thing that so completely evades our grasp." At this, a crooked smile spread across Karthik's face. "I do wonder how justice will play out along this journey."

    More than probability, but I figure you weren't going to catch an eliminator anyhow. Do me a favor and learn something good with this though.

    Aha! A little noncommittal there, aren't we? Anyways, be careful what you wish for, because my mental RNG just told me to vote for Coral Swan

    No, not really. My early-game screwery shall not be comprehended that easily, thank you very much. Scarlet Octopus.

    Karthik glanced out his window, scanning the crowd for a source of the commotion. "Kelek, what manner of chicken is that," he grumbled under his breath, slamming the window shut. Chickens squawking, the village gawking... He hand't the time for such nonsense. Curse you for ninja-ing me.

    Technically, so is Coral Swan. @Pearl Chameleon don't go changing colors on us. That would be confusing. Indigo Weasel because Weasels are known for treachery.
