That Kitanna, for example, rejection can be a powerful motivator.
Why would I take out my rejection on poor Durelin or CaptainofDespair? They didn't kick me out of the band.

But surely if we lynch those who keep quiet then the werewolves will only shout even more? Therefore shouldn't we lynch those who shout the mostest?
Or maybe we should lynch those who talk just enough not to be labeled as loud mouths or quiets.

So I say, now that we still have the numbers to risk perhaps a few bad lynchings... why not lynch the silent ones?
I say it is a horrible idea for this day. Day One is ripe with confusion on many levels, sometimes people miss day one all together because of time zone confusion. I think we should give it until Day Two before attacking silent players, if we decide to go after them at all.

Much of today's talk so far has been on lynching people based on how quiet they are. I am quite torn on the idea.

When we start actually thinking about those who should be left without a chair in the end of the Dance, we rarely find the guts to vote for those who just haven't appeared on the floor a lot as it feels so bad to vote someone out because of that and possibly be wrong! So we tend to try and find even the slightest of reason to vote for someone of whom we think we know something... e.g. those who stand in the open. That way we leave some people in to the shadows where they have decided to reside. That is the perfect place for a villain. And I think you all know how often the first lynch is a goodwilling and active villager...
I agree with Nogrod's statement there, but on Day One I'm not so fond on lynching quiets. Sometimes confusion just gets the best of people on Day One and being quiet is unavoidable. It has happened to me before and so I always feel a bit of sympathy to quiets on Day One. However I agree with looking long and hard at the silent villagers Day Two and beyond. Staying quiet more than one day in a row seems a bit like flying under the radar and warrants inspection of the villager.

Howver on Day One I think looking at moderates is a better plan and looking at silents is better for Day Two.
