So I would lean for the alternative, because voting clap is like voting for no one, if he's a wolf, hey, you knew what you were doing, if he's not, hey, it's clap. What a cop out. I guess that's the result when people don't want to put any thought into it.

But why is Martin the other candidate? Here's a guy who lives overseas, so he can't even be around to defend himself, and he's the other candidate. Why?

I believe we should lynch someone, because, in the end, I think achieving the 10 points is going to be very hard, with player attrition and the activities of the wolves. So we should stick with basic werewolf, and a no lynch doesn't make sense in basic werewolf.

But then you get a vote like this, where, for God knows what reason why, we have two candidates that probably shouldn't be candidates. Yes, I know Day One votes are a crapshoot, but do we always have to vote for "the weird guy" and "the guy who won't be around"?

Although I side with them on the "lynch"/"no lynch" thing, I did not like the illogical arguments used at points by Lathum (hyperbole) and lerriuqs (fearmongering), so I am going to vote for one of them. I refuse to accept the village vote, because I don't think people are using anything rational to pick out Martin and clap over others.

I know if I vote Lathum, he'll blow his top, so I'll vote lerriuqs. Feel free to follow me if you want.

VOTE LERRIUQS

I was with you right up to the two comments in bold...Funny that you shrug off the other votes as irrational and then make one of your own.

Also considering you said the exact same thing about a no lynch as Lathum and myself - how can you dismiss our arguments at illogical??

As for clap, I think he got lots of traction this time because the no lynch has ramped up so quickly. Also he was just a wolf last game and didn't get voted out early so I don't buy the "don't vote for clap" speech. We needed a viable option or two to the no lynch. We have that in place and you throw out a fourth option less than two hours before deadline? How is that going against the no lynch at all??
