He has been acting suspiciously, I'll give you that; besides, until my trust is proven misplaced, I would follow Lord Cecil Eaglelaser's name to the ends of the Earth; or at least until I get sick of this name worship shtick.
I've never been that comfortable with bandwagons, but there seems little alternative on the first day. I would still encourage people to offer some explanation for their vote. Even if a weak reason, any reason seems better than nothing but a vote. Gives us more to analyze, take out of context, and act overly paranoid about, as well.

Alright. Allow me to dissect Squashua's post:
Squashua claims he was sent a PM, supposedly from a special, threatening him.
A vigilante has nothing to gain from contacting their target before they kill them, as they will be targeting people they think are monsters anyway, and if they give their name to a monster they'll get killed.
A monster, likewise, has no reason to give their name to their target, as that target will almost certainly either publicly post the name or leave it with an ally to be revealed at a later date, at which point the monster will get bandwagoned.
Squashua says that he will reveal the name of the person who contacted him if he thinks it was a joke (if it is a joke, the name will be useless to us), but not if he thinks it's real (because he thinks it's the vigilante.) He thinks it's the vigilante because, quote, "it wouldn't be someone from an evil conspirators group; he'd be getting the crap beat out of him for chancing to send a PM like that to Mr. Blabbity-mc-blab-blab himself.". He does not apply this same logic to the vigilante.
Squashua hints that he himself is the vigilante; if he was the vigilante he would not be hinting at it in the thread.
BAsically, around the time that Acid posted his "orginal "Theories" and I responded, he sent me said PM.
Unfortunately, screencaps are not allowed.
So I forwarded the PM to all of you, three at a time.
As someone strictly obeying the rules, I thought it would be out of line to let people know "who" sent me the PM, considering that I thought Acid did it accidentally to let me know that HE as the assassin, was targeting ME.
But anyway, good luck y'all. Bye Acid; nice knowing you next turn.

That's not breaking the rules, you know. You can say whatever you want. You can rat out people who sent you PMs, you can reveal your role, you lie about your role, whatever.
So: are you a special or a monster?

Squashua, you should say hi to Dynagrip. I think you two would get along quite well.

To honestly answer that question would be breaking the rules.

Apparently you don't understand the rules. You're not allowed to quote Visiblehowl's role pm in the thread. Other than that, you can say whatever the fuck you want, true, false, or in between.

No, it really wouldn't. I thought that was already clear - you're allowed to say whatever you please. I saw your post before the edit, anyway ("nope").
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are you to share your role PM publicly. If you wish to exchange role PMs privately, that's fine. You may, if you wish, publicly claim to be any role, real or otherwise, as long as you don't post your PM.

Either way, it won't change your mind or AcidSerra's mind. You've both been out to get me. Hoping to sway some of the others back in a different direction to get some more time on this.
I !retract my vote for Lord Cecil Eaglelaser and I !vote for AcidSerra.
edit: he's done nothing but have a long name and even though it'll probably dampen my chances of survival (removing one from the second-largest queue to a zero-queue), I'd rather vote against a true villain.

It might change my mind, just too late to do anything about it. If you're really a villager and you made this up - as I think you have - it's in your best interests to come out with it and so help the village, even though you'll still die.
I don't know what to believe anymore. I guess for now I'll keep my vote, but I'm this close to changing it against AcidSerra.
EDIT: To late anyway.
I thought that was half the point of turn one of a Phalla. No you don't know who to trust. Neither of us has proven to be any more or less trustworthy than the other. Right now you take it on faith or not at all.
Of course, but you have to go on the evidence you have, though his evidence was very thin, but still, I'd hate to be proven wrong if he was innocent you where the rouge senator.
Hope my sacrifice was worth it for the overall plan that I was PM'd. Timing is everything.
See this is what I don't get... why would I be the suspicious one here when your "in on plans." What plans, why on earth would you be making plans? With 16 people you have a 1/5-1/4 chance that the plans you're making are with the rogues. Who would be stupid enough to write out a multi-person plan when the next person they send it to could as soon kill them as go along with it? And if you know for sure who and what they are, then they must be rogues. Other than from rogue to rogue you would have no idea if the person you're talking too is legit and isn't just pulling you're chain so they can find out if you know any specials that they can systematically assinate with you're help...
No I think I'll get by just fine without overall plans and without being a walking boobytrap. ^.^

I think Squashua's currently voting for himself though, so it's more like 5:2:3.
I'm also a really bad counter sometimes.
4 for him on this page and the last one, his vote for himself, and one for him on the first page.
I !retract my vote for PsychoLarry1
I !vote for Saquasha
You're a little too off the handle this game, buddy.

Well at least I get to spend next round making everyone else go crazy with speculation. ^.^
So you are claiming you didn't send the PM?

Echoing Navoc, are you saying you didn't send the pm?
You sure are talented.
Am I or, do I have a good source for inspiration?
Either way, it won't change your mind or AcidSerra's mind. You've both been out to get me. Hoping to sway some of the others back in a different direction to get some more time on this.
edit by only stating facts.
I'm confused. If you really didn't send the PM, why don't you just say so? Why so intent on spreading confusion?

Oh sorry was just reading back and saw your post.
No, I did not write it.
Unless I've misunderstood the timezones.

If that's not cryptic, I don't know what is. Day 2 looks like it's going to be quite interesting.
