So... what's the plan?

It's looking like we're wanting to keep Varcayn alive, yes?
Personally, I'd prefer that if we have to kill off Thorgot, we don't do it by vote shenanigans... either start an early solid bandwagon or just kill him outright. However, that's just personal preference because I kinda screwed him over that way in a prior game and would rather not make a habit of it.

Well yes, if not keeping him alive, I'd appreciate people not actively targetting him I die if he dies, but I'm not so sure that the reverse is true. Depends who submitted the role... If you like, I can perform surgery on thorgot, which would be a neat way of finding out what my ability actually does. Although if it turns out to be resoundingly positive, that's maybe not such a bright idea.

Well, I don't know for sure yet if he's our best target... we're probably going to have to kill him eventually, and I just wanted to make sure to express a preference early on how we manage it.
Although... with that role, he's almost certainly a vig of some nature, so we may want to take him out early anyway.

I'm not remotely sure about his power: DA seemed really opposed to standard seering or vig-kill mechanics, but I'm sure thor can do something unpleasant.

Well, assuming FWD's power is the one you designed, we don't want to kill him directly. However, he's a solid player... we might want to consider sending him in for "surgery" once or twice and see what happens?

Ever since I was dumb enough to believe FWD's excuse in the Roguelike phalla I like to think I've learned not to underestimate him. I guess Turk can go poking around in his circuits unless another opportunity presents itself...

Anyone in particular you think I should accuse of being evil? Going to be difficult to put together a case with Buzz Buz-er, I mean, Apollo as the defense.

hmm.... do you suppose the "neutral third party" is the prophet we're electing tonight?
What about picking one of the 4 of us that are in the same group as Buzz? He'll almost certainly give us his best defense, and that way it looks like you're not associated with whichever one of us you pick in case we actually get found guilty (or die later). Not like there's going to be any real case against anyone on day one anyway.

Fair enough. (And yes, it does seem like the neutral third party will be the elected official.) I'll probably pick you, unless you see a particular reason I should shoot for anyone else. (Chances are that since there's no real case against anyone, you'll be found not guilty. )

I like Nerissa's idea there. Admittedly it could backfire horribly, but it sounds like a good way of distancing yourself from... whoever you agree to select.

It's day one, so there isn't much of a case to make; and Buzz Buzz is a worthy opponent. I'm sure he'll attain a not guilty verdict.

My god I'm a slow poster today. Yeah, what everyone else said

Picking me is fine, unless someone else really wants to go on trial for some reason. After the last game, I'm used to needing a lawyer on day one anyway.

We may want to tentatively move to "protect" FWD. Like a subtle-but-noticeable push for someone else if it looks like he's in danger of getting voted out or something. Make him look like a good vig target.
Then, if the vig takes the bait, we have (a) FWD dead, (b) a known vig to take out (c) those of us who look like we were protecting FWD look innocent.
All of these are good things.
