Thank you for not turbolynching me while I was at work. I only had a short time to post and I only had some vague feelings about replacement votes. Seeing what happened for what I thought was a credible threat assessment I didn't feel like putting my hand up for anything that was even less concrete.
Alerts:
Dan randomly asking Cheez, "Cheez, how many total scum do you think there are in this game?". It's such an off the wall question targeted to a specific person. He then follows it up with a "What's the five scenario you can imagine?". Then there was a *sniff sniff* vote for Zakeri then BBM with no explanation. It feels like the question up front is some kind of role ability, maybe needing somebody to write a specific number.
Then Dan says "I'm just eerily stalking people in ethereal form is all." (and then) "since I'm a night spirit."
I haven't played AUS. Is night spirit something we should worry about?
DarkNinjaABC: He seems to be all over the place and dancing around. He finally pinned down a vote on me. I think I'm showing weakness so it's credible. However, before this, I also stated that I thought DNA was an 'easy vote'. It's because he's being so flippant and casual about the game. It's reminiscent of his previous game as scum, although this time it's without the horrible butchering of English and imparseable grammar.
Dormio: Dormio hasn't done much of day 1 except post a few pictures and go lol. I feel like he's coasting. I think it's credible because why would he want to attract more heat in his situation at that stage? Then he said this - "By the way, I'm not going to promise much content for the majority of D1 because I have exams to study for." I'm mentioning that I feel like he's coasting but given his situation I think it's legit, for now. Tomorrow is another day.
Cheez: This throwaway line in response to my OMGUS withdrawal, "Cut by Paladin not making too much sense and bringing up "people we haven't heard much from." Why even mention them?". I thought this was a strange thing to say on it's own.
Raikaria: I felt that his jump on me was opportunistic and insubstantial. He didn't have to risk anything by that vote and, as noted by SB and Schezo, it was not really committal. It felt to me that Raikaria had anticipated the next wagon and wanted to be a part of it. So I was surprised when Raikaria (and SB) unvoted. At first I was just happy that Raikaria had cancelled the vote, but I thought it was strange. When SB changed his vote it didn't feel strange. I wondered why. I thought, maybe I was bias because I was too scared to challenge SB again. Then later, Kilga explained that just unvoting on it's own is scummy. I didn't realize but that explains my strange feeling. Something just felt off.
A wild IHNN has appeared: Well it's good to see you are here
He doesn't really say much but paints Dan and Schezo then says he's going to look at the people with votes behind them. I don't like this attitude one bit. They don't have to stick their neck out and can just join in what everybody else has already decided and if the wagon falls apart IHNN can just hop off easily. He also strangely said "Anyways, read everything through here, nothing jumped out at me." What, you didn't see Dormio nearly get quicklynched? Or the explode two pages back when I got thrown in the fire for my vote on SB? It suggests a casual, indifferent approach to the game that I don't think a towny would have.

I'm curious about Dan. I want to see more information about Dan and his story. If he was scum, though, I don't think he would softclaim so early. And act weird. So I'm going to colour him in as 'odd' but not 'scum' at this stage.
I'm going to vote IHNN.
##vote IHNN because of the apparent lack of attention to the game (it's only 6 pages, and only the last 4 really matter) and wagonhunting.
