Now that I am back on my computer I can actually write proper responses.

That's why I try getting reactions out of players. Getting opinions on every player early on will be beneficial later on.
Now if people tried a bit more giving opinions on players rather than just giving opinions on how to play the game.
Of all the people in this thread, Numberplay is the least suspicious to me. There are several reasons for this.
1. He reacted favourably to my challenge.
2. He is trying to get reactions (which, by the way, is the proper way to play this game)
3. He is trying to get reactions even though he has no evidence. This builds up a proper way to get suspicions later.
The most suspicious of all players are the ones who are downplaying the first day. The ones who say it's better to no-lynch and just get the next day so the power roles can do their job. Of course a sure lynch is better, but if we don't have any information on who to trust before someone outs their (and others) roles, we have to just take their word. That is not the best situation to be in. If we trust the supposed bowman and he hits the spybot, we are going to lynch the bowman afterwards, losing 2 robots and more importantly, a vital power role.
All in all, it's better to wait out the first day and actually get some proper information out of it. The more the merrier!
So! In the spirit of the above:
Kitsune: I know it's day one and it's traditionally for jokes, but why make that post? Why go after the game master? It makes you seem active, and that's just fine, but I don't see the purpose of such a cheap joke.
Chopstix: Why enforce that belief? Wouldn't you agree that it's better to get some more information than just waste this day and gain nothing? Someone is probably going to be formatted tonight and you would rather have us make bad jokes?
Need Runes / D-vid: Odds are modified by information. Are we going to keep the odds purely numerical? I would rather narrow down the suspect list slightly so the method wouldn't be "random(13)" but rather "random(6)" for example.
Misterme7: Did you find the link? I would like to see it. I assume there is some math involved and assumes no information at all, but I would like to see the reasoning the author uses.
Kamak: "The typical no lynch"? After all the other members have said about information gathering, you still hold fast to a no lynch without actually trying to provoke a response?
