How is leaving a vote on an innocent not bad for scum? (not saying he is, just that it would be bad for a scum member)
I will also say this : how many people want ME as the guy who invest first? (this is to innocents only)
You serious, FF? ... over a Day 1 vote?
Seems to me the scum would want an innocent lynched. For most players here, being the first to vote someone who then flips innocent should be easy enough to dodge after the victim's role is revealed. It would take a majority of us voting you to actually lynch you. A singleton vote from JL alone means nothing. And JL is slippery enough regardless of role to survive a mistake (helping to kill an innocent) or a plan (deliberate distancing) without much effort.
Your explanation after being questioned, FF, sounds pretty good on the surface. But I still fail to see the downside there (for both of you) this early in the game.
For your question.... who gets investigated first or who's doing the investigating (whichever way you meant that) isn't anything I'd care to discuss or even wonder about.
