Are we allowed to speculate about the roles here?

Shall we speculate away then? 

(More logistical and question for @Red Mones , to what extent can we "speculate"?  Not, perhaps to the point that your role is implied, but perhaps to the point that supposing some general class of role exists?

You can do anything except reveal your own role.

So on the first day are we just gonna randomly vote

You can do anything except reveal your own role.

How far does this extend?
Could one hint, however more-or-less obliquely, towards a role?
Or is the restriction more in the nature of allowing someone to say 'I have a role very much like the Seer' so long as they don't copypaste a textbox saying (as an example I'm pulling out of my ass from book knowledge) 'I am Gandalf the Grey, elf-friend, bearer of Narya and Glamdring alike, known to some as Mithrandir and others as Tharkun; servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor'.
Cause roleclaims are rather a double-edged sword, and removing that seems like it might remove some of the fun.

Hinting at information gained during night phases is allowed, revealing information is not. Both revealing and hinting roles is not allowed.

Crazy stuff happening in Wintreath (ns not forum)

Vote Pengu

What is the reason for this vote?

We lynch inactives in XKI sometimes so we could consider that here when we're closer to the deadline.

Nah, fam. "Lynch the inactives" doesn't make sense when they will either get removed from the game, or replaced with someone more active. I'd rather make a misstep with an active player, and analyse the voting patterns the next day, than give the wolves such an easy bus to fall onto.

There is some method to my madness. It was mostly an RVS vote, sure, but it is also all too easy to hide as a Wolf by just throwing out humorous references to the books while appearing active.

This presumes I had read the books...

I find your lack of an avatar... disturbing. What are you hiding? 

Hmm, normally I'd go for a no lynch on the first day, but y'all seem a little more vote happy than we are over in XKI. 

Guess I'll have to keep watching and see if anything interesting happens. Still have plenty of time before this day phase ends after all.

11) ABSOLUTELY NO outside communication is allowed with other players. Ever.

aight everyone get off the discord, it's too much of a risk

We lynch inactives in XKI sometimes so we could consider that here when we're closer to the deadline.

This poses a valid question though; is there an inactivity lynch or do we just leave them in the game?

You know, previous experience has taught me to be wary of you commenting/speculating on the game this much, as it tends to be a tactic to make you look productive. You gonna start scum-hunting soon?

I just realised, @Red Mones, that there is no breakdown of how many bad guys are in the game. Is this also a mystery, like it was in Tau's Game of Thrones Part 2 game?

So on the first day are we just gonna randomly vote

No, RVS ends when we have gained enough of an idea to start letting actual accusations fly. It's a phase characterised by reaction testing, and seeing who has scummy motivations, and who has townie motivations.

It says 4 in the OP.

Oh. I'm a moron.

If this was day 2, your observation might be valid.
This is, however, day 1, and to the best of my knowledge, the only people with any information to work with are scum. Not being one, and not being privy to their information, the best I can do is faff around just like everybody else in the game right now until we've got something to work with.
Even totting up vote totals is a bit pointless until the night phase/start of the next day phase, since there's literally nothing to compare them to.

Incidentally, you should really stop using jargon without explanation; there's lots of new people in the game and even if I recognize it, a lot of them won't.

That being said, 16 vs 4 seems slightly town-sided, so we can probably speculate that there will be extra abilities in the Wolf-faction besides just the night kill.

And to Doc, there is a whole thread dedicated to the jargon.
