Left hand still clutching onto her stuffed bear, Raeche lifts her chin slowly to face the crowd. But instead of the piteous look from before, her eyes flash with an uncharacteristic coldness. Finger slowly rising to a stop, she points directly at Orisae. "She's the Syssin!!"
Vote: Orisae
Am I the only one having fun with writing this sort of crap?
The game is a lot like what online poker is to poker - you lose out on so many of the tells that it is difficult to read players unless they really mess up their choices. As it is in real-life, these sorts of games require a few rounds in order for you to get an accurate read on your opponents.
I'd suggest we just take it easy for the first round, run with it, and learn as much as we can from each other. Really competitive (and fun) playing will only come in future rounds.
Clearly, the child is having a permanent lapse of judgement or has been horribly afflicted with a personality disorder the likes we've, none of us, dealt with before. Do not listen to her feeble attempts to push the attention off of herself to point out the most opinionated against her case.
You let the child live, this city will burn. Be all Aldric up in here, man.
I'm fine with the storytelling, but if you keep playing a little kid, I'm changing my vote back to you.
Well if I were the Syssin, I could snap my fingers and you will see that I am not really a child, but a fifty year old man predator hiding behind the guise of an illusion.
But I'm not! I'm just kid. With my whole life ahead of me. And what's more lifer than having your whole life ahead of you?
The roleplay is a little annoying. I'm just being honest.

Those who haven't voted: Kiyotan, Aarbrok, Lianca, Aren, and Periluna.
If the majority of you are sticking with Raeche then I'll pop by vote back over in a few hours to end the round if we haven't reached a decision yet. Although I still think we're better off if we save Raeche for later.

Someone powerful says, "We're going to have to delete you."
If I am a lifer, they will be among the people who voted against me, to get rid of an easy one.
If I am a syssin, all they lose is an extra person on their team - but it does not hurt their chances of killing at night. Overall, still better to vote for one of their own who has already revealed her identity, in order to blend in. To do otherwise would risk drawing attention like Haven did.
So, I would suggest looking for the syssin among those who voted against me. I would also suggest that the monk sense me and tell the good people what I really am.
How is this still even going? I was the 11th person to vote for Raeche. How is that not an insta-lynch?
Edit: For clarity - We had 7 people when Elanth posted. 4 more voted after, which made the 11. Then people started changing their votes - Is there a reason the round kept going after the 11?

Doesn't end until god (elanth) does the end of round tally...bad timing I guess
"Look at that little girl!" yelled Lianca, pointing. "She's not just any little girl! She has a knife!"
"A knife?!" roared Aren. "It's the knife girl! Get her!"

Raeche's limp body swings from the gallows. Her mother and father cry at the side, for as it happens, she was a Lifer.
Oh, the humanity.
