I waited a bit to see if anyone else would chime in, and I’ve seen most people post at this point without doing so... so:
@Val the Moofia Boss - I feel you should let it run the full 48 hours since that’s what it started at, and we’ve yet to hear from Crackle.

For being willing to let day phase be shortened when we haven’t even heard from all the players yet.
Ah yes. The need to wait until everyone speaks to vote on someone to potentially save from a kill tonight.
Your finger is broken.
I am not sure how much I'd get from interactions on Day 1 when we are voting to protect versus voting to lynch. If it were a lynch, there is absolutely information to be gained.
Unless there is a day ability, the scum don't care who gets the protect since they will just not target that person.
Plus, we have had two people claim TPRs and you are typically against all forms of claiming this early on.
If Day 1 were pointless, games would start with N1. No matter how much people want to cry fluff - there is absolutely a point to the interactions that occur.
And yes. I am 100000% against claims so early. But historically yelling at people for it has done little to no good, all I can do at this point is refuse to reward the behavior.
I'm not arguing that D1 is useless. Just that interactions may not mean much when D1 is a vote to protect and not lynch since it doesn't cause anyone to be suspicious. I personally like to see actions occur and then discuss that.
But, regardless, my point stands. Your finger is broken.
Wait... with absolutely no reason, Grae is claiming TPR on D1 in hopes to get the N1 protect and people believed him and flipped their votes?

there are plenty of interactions to examine. Such as people voting to protect the claimed TPR, or people willing to vote on someone that survived late or any other reason
It's mostly a matter of thinking ahead. If I'm protected tonight, I can get an action off and prove my role when the next day phase swings around. At which point, I could potentially be protected again the following night phase, though at the hands of a player. Granted, there's a risk that the protection tonight doesn't extend to role blocks but then would scum risk using negative actions on me when there's a good chance that many eyes will be upon me during the night?
My goal is to expose and utterly crush the scum team. I will show them no mercy and I hope to rally others to my side to completely eradicate them.
Let the power of friendship prevail and save the day!
I disagree. It may not tell you the same type of information, but it is still information. Unlike a normal vote to lynch, scum won’t care if one of their own is offered up. In fact it is to their benefit if one is, since it will keep their options open for night targets.
I am clearly in the wrong here since others have chimed in, so I'll stop arguing it. We shall see how useful D1 is this game
