Depends on the claim(s), as few as possible though. An early mass claim can only help scum or force town to lie.

I'm going to start enforcing the 7-day day phase as of Monday. So the deadline will be April 30.

The fewer claims D1 the better. If we could get scum to claim scum D1 that would be nice
@Djele, I need to understand this completely: Are you actually voting for dakky or are you joke voting?
Also, what was the thing with the knife? As per usual, I skimmed when people started writing about flavour because I've never seen that work D1. What works is people talking and someone slipping up.

What s going on with loose cannon? Looks like he just registered to get some reward.
Can we prod him and/or replace him if he's going to be that useless?

He's not the same "bot" thing that entered one of the other games, is he?

I fought the ---------------- too. I'm sure that helps. Yay!
So back on track. I think we should start pressuring for a claim on whoever seems scummier to most so far. That way, we would have time to discuss the claim and go another direction if no one is convinced that person is scum given that doom gave a deadline. Joke vote stage is definitely over, we need everybody to step forward and give their analysis of the current situation and to put their joke vote somewhere.
I m still fine with my vote on robellis.

It's not just Loose, what about others? Pretty much inactive?

While most seem hellbent on Rob - I'm still not sure for what reason, but he has gone quiet ever since receiving some pressure - I think we ought to wait for the lurkers before pressuring someone. We have some eight days, right. Plenty of time for the mod to prod

I'm feeling Rob, maybe pika for being a little uncharestically quiet for scum at the moment.
Definitely need a bit more activity.
But where did mitch get the anglo-afghan war from?

suspicious

i'm still here, just observing the game. I tried helping to move the game forward or get some clues going but don't really know what's going on.

"just observing the game" won't help anyone, it is day one, you can joke vote someone or just put pressure on someone for fun. Everyone must post something, remember the rule #11.

The anglo-afghan war was 1 of the areas my character fought and since Bujaber and Betiko see to have know ideal about what I was talking about or what I was trying to accomplish they are on the top of my scum list

Vote Count
madmitch (2) - dakky, robellis
dakky (1) - djelebert
djelebert (1) - Ragian
robellis (1) - Bujaber, betiko
With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch
Deadline is April 30.
Pikanchion, I just counted your jokevote as an unvote.
More prods will go out Tuesday. Small games always feel like everyone is inactive.

I don't like this comment at all for multiple reasons.
Does he have information we don't have?
Is he using flavor to come up with a fake case on us?
I know I am town and betiko is a townread of mine so it looks like he is throwing shade on two townies.
He says this but doesn't vote for either of us as if he is waiting for someone else to agree and back him up first.
It's interesting that betiko and I are both voting robellis too. Possible partner?
Dakky/Rags/pika what do you think of mitch so far? (Asking the people who have played with him before).

Of course i understand you were throwing some flavour from your character. I guess we all received the portrait of a person participating in ww1, maybe with some extra information on other wars they were in, but you give 1 war and for the other one you write --------- as if it was of any use. Like we'd google for hours to look for a flavour read. Whatever.
Bujaber, voting for the same guy doesn't mean we can jump to any conclusion. I don't have a scum read on you so far, but my opinion is neutral. Don't expect me to partner with anyone in this game, there is nothing more dangerous than trading brownie points with a player and realize too late that you've been fooled.
I d like to hear more from my friend djelebert too, who is being awfully quiet lately. I think loose canon is a lost cause, the guy basically just showed up to confirm early day 1.
And I don't think we have that much time. If we get a claim late day 1 and we're all convinced he's town we won't really have time for a second option. I'd like to see people have stronger opinions. Rob, just watching what's going on won't help.
You are one of the most voted so far and you need to help us gather a bit more about you.

Re: Mitch
I think he's trying to use flavour to incriminate someone. I.e. he's looking for scum. I don't fault him for that. I don't agree with his conclusions, though, as we're all generals, so surely DY has provided fake claims for scum, too.
So while I don't think whatever he says regarding you two sticks, I don't see his attempt at scumhunting as antitown at this point.

I'm willing to vote for either robellis, djelebert, betiko or loose cannon.

I just thought some of us Generals might of fought on the same front before ,and maybe what happened was a revenge killing or some grudge from the previous battles or maybe not ?

Declaring a small group of players to contain both scum roles for reasons entirely external to how those players have acted in this game is not scum hunting.

Betiko, i'm glad to help us. I'm town. I'm not very good at this so far, but I'm trying very hard to move the game forward for us.
No one has put these two pieces together as of yet, so I figured I would mention it and see if it helps.
It has been suggested that there are 2 mafia. 1 experienced player and 1 newbie.
It may not be our best option to go with 'what ifs' at this point, but that's all I got right now.
What if Mitch is the experienced mafia, doesn't know what he's doing, and therefore cannot help Loosecannon; hence the silence?
I realize that is throwing shade on people, because we don't know if they are town or not. Because of this, I'm still sticking with my vote on mitch.
Betiko, does that help us?
