Well, DD isn't here so I do feel lost on Day 1...
I dont like how Ice's list is so different than mine. I hope he knows what he is doing better than I do. What I do like is that he playing with more of an "outsider" style, rather than get into a heated argument and end up shooting an innocent over a meaningless scuffle. This almost goes without saying but the gunslinger needs to be careful about such things as emotion and revenge (ahem, Kash).
The Slinger chooses to shoot
after he eats dinner.
The Gunslinger reaches down to his belt and removes a bullet. He blows some dust off it, and loads it into his gun. He raises the gun, closes one eye and trains the gun on AnniesNotOK. Then he pulls the trigger.
The bullet streaks from the barrel of the gun and buries itself in flesh...
It appears that AnniesNotOK is definitely NOT OK....in fact, Annie, mafia goon is quite dead.

IceH2O remains Gunslinger.
He will have until 6:05 PM CST Friday (AC time) to decide and take his next shot...
My first guess at 4 mafia:
Annie
Zaffy
Kash
Z/JPap
ok so I picked 5. But since I put them both on the same line it counts as 1 right. If I was forced to pick between Z and JPap right now I'd flip a coin.
Lab, Zaffy, JB...regardless of what you may have already posted, would you or wouldn't you choose Ice to be the first gunslinger and why?
Annie cites Mad's suggestion that we "grill each other" and asks Z why he thinks the mafia chose Ice. While this is obviously a good thing for us to do (as Mad explained to help establish some links between us)... the way Annie felt it necessary to specifically point this out himself makes me wonder why Annie bothered phrasing his post this way. Is Annie really expecting to get something on Z by "grilling" him with this particular question? Or is Annie's real motivation here to establish an appearance of being pro-town?
Trying to appear to be grilling someone this early on but then actually asking a fairly innocuous question seems a tad scummy to me. For that matter.. when Annie and I were communicating vigilantes together... he decided to vote me on Day 1 to distance the two of us from each other so the mafia wouldn't connect us. If Annie is taking that approach with this now, we should watch closely how Annie and Zsand interact with/against each other as the game goes on.
I'm not sure about your logic or your motive here, Jb. This would be a convenient theory to propose by someone wishing to protect either Lab Rat or Zaffy (as their mafia teammate).
Anyone sitting in a mafia role right now is apt to pick Ice as the first gunslinger... that includes the vets who've played with and against him in so many games AND noobs who would be intimidated by his skill, high participation level, and reputation in the game. For us to read a whole lot more into the mafia's pick at this stage seems a bit risky to me.
Here's the post I misread.. then quoted it with my post. I was too sleepy to be doing this late last night when I was reviewing the thread.
Here's where I questioned the post, thinking it was being protective when it's really pointing suspicion. So disregard this one.
