I think one of my biggest strengths as a player is to transition the game out of RVS.
So far, it's going well.

Can ya explain in more detail what you feel "Lynch All Liars" entails?
Bringing it up was all I intended to do, in fact.
Then your believes are wrong ... lynching inactives on Day 1 is a good policy. Lyncing all liars is a bad policy.
In large part, I agree with you. I gambit frequently.
My statement was intended to be a strong statement about inactivity, and to draw out impressions on both "Lynch inactives' and "Lynch all liars" in one fell swoop. I won't leave it lingering for too long without explanation. I don't need
everyone's beliefs on these ideas, and I don't expect I would get them from everyone even if I held out forever.
But what reason (with the exception of trying to gambit someone) would a townie have for lying?
See below.
You've answered your own question.
Bingo, bango, bongo.
I have nothing to weigh in on right now. The game has hardly started and so far you have people mostly sticking to joke votes and light pressure from Red Ryu, but thanks for the tag anyways.
RVS gets things kicked off. It gives people a chance to breadcrumb if they wish. It gives us things to read later as either distancing, buddying, etc. It accomplishes a lot.
And it's also a load of horse**** that is taken too seriously sometimes. I usually break it within 24 hours. Lookup my game history (however that's done, I dunno). Ask around I guess. I've played with Spak, Gheb and J in this game. Not sure who else, since people change names sometimes, and my memory isn't great since it's been a while.
Everyone plays different. If the votes on Spak are legit I'm not seeing the hate for him given I was under the impression that nobody has moved towards anything out of RVS.
The transition is sometimes subtle. Sometimes it's abrupt. A good player is looking not only for players acting a little odd, but also watching for that moment when things shift and it's time to leave joke posts aside. We're pretty much there.
Do ya not think that maybe the votes on Spak are moving out of RVS? Explainin' it kinda spoils any opportunity it may have had, doesn't it?
Theres also plenty of non-gambit related reasons town may lie.
-Hiding reads 'cuz you don't want particular members of the town to see what you really think of that player.
-Leaving out reasons you think someone is scummy in a case because it ain't worth keepin' (lying by omission is still lyin')
Just off the top of my head.
+1 to this post. I'm linking it in lieu of liking it because I can't remember if we're allowed to "like" a post in these games. Can someone remind me? Seems like it would be disallowed since it can be undone, and only the OP would have knowledge that you liked his post.

can you either give us a votecount or edit in the list of players in your Day 1 opener post? It's helpful when I'm on mah cellphone to not have to flip back to see the list of the players.
