I don't think I'll be voting today, lads. Not any information, as far as I'm concerned.

That's Lightning to you! Or, anyone, really. Just because I'm past my prime doesn't mean I have to default to my deadname.

(Also, should I sue this guy? I'll have a talk with my lawyer after this!)


Vote: Montgomery McQueen, is that a shiny Revavroom?
Shiny? Yeah. Reva...whatever? No.

For now, I'll follow the majority and vote: No Elimination. Can't risk anything when we don't have anything to go on.

Xiahou Ba: As funny as it is to roll the dice and have the first person be executed at pure random and turns out that he was mafia, a massive boon for us all if we are lucky, the chances of that are not in our favor. It's around a quarter chance, which is roughly the same odds as landing an OHKO move like Horn Drill or Guillotine. We risk executing someone with a pivotal role to the game on the flipside, whether it's a doctor, or a cop, or maybe a suicide bomber or a bulletproof, or any other role, and we just cannot risk taking that gamble without any information.

It's best we wait until helpful roles are done in the night, action is taken, information is gleaned, and see who gets murdered on the night phase before we make a decision. Scouting is the least risky play we can do.

Some of you may die but it's a sacrifice we are willing to make.

Wait a minute....

vote: No Elimination

"It appears I find myself amidst a party of like-minded investigators, as the majority of them are in agreement that playing it safe during the first day of the investigation is the way to go when we have very little in the way of information to go off of. The moment the dark sacred night sets in, we must make use of our wit and skill, and the resourcefulness of our Pokémon and their powers to gather what information we can to bring back once the night yields to the breaking dawn. I do find myself in agreement Xiahou Ba that some of the investigators might have their lifeblood shed by the thieves that dwell within our presence, but that is a chance we must be willing to take. For if we do triumph over the outlaws in the end, the martyr's blood of the fallen investigators shall water the meadows of Johto, as a symbol that those who perished in their line of duty shall always be remembered for their bravery and courage."
 
Talking now, but primarily because the Mafia is likely going to target someone who hasn't piped up, since quiet targets are often the best for early game. Vote: Power Flotzo for the sake of having a vote somewhere and having some kind of information going into tomorrow. Voting no elimination on the basis of no evidence is fine, but if the Mafia does kill someone quiet, we're going to have just as little information going into Day 2, so I'd prefer there be any level of choices on the board
