NH trust me, you don't want to guess who TC is.

TC, I get you. I'm pretty sure. Though I gotta say, that character's religion is a retcon (assuming I'm right). He was originally protestant.
Actually now that you speak of retcons and Protestants I'm no longer sure who's Jewish and who's not, if my character's Jewish (retconned or not), and if there are more than 2 Jews.
Looking at the player list two characters struck me as being Jewish because they share a common "link".

(And, as NH pointed out, Shatner is (at least nominally) Jewish - though I'm confident that Kirk is of no discernible religion.)

These two characters immediately sprung to mind as being Jewish when I read your post - whereas none of the other characters did.

However, while one of these two characters is definitely Jewish (or at least definitely was Jewish in their back-story), the other character is specifically mentioned as being protestant in one of his earliest incarnations.

After you and I are dead, we can see if we both believed the same people to be Jewish, or whether we disagreed.

I freely admit that my knowledge of comic book characters is much more limited than your average ComiCon goer. I could very easily be wrong and causing you to doubt yourself for no reason.

Sorry about that.

Magneto was the only one who struck me as being Jewish - but I'm no expert.

This is easy. Superman was the Jew. He was of course bowdlerized into a Protestant Christian.

That's certainly what I thought.

Superman is the quintessential Jew; he's Moses.

Really guys, How am I acting differently? I must say the way I get three votes, based on nothing, it makes you guys seem very scummy.

I say TC, because he doesn't use any real logic when it comes to voting, which makes him a dangerous loose cannon that can't be relied on to do the right thing.

Vote: TC

Every time TC makes it past round 1, townies lose.

Was he circumcised though.

According to an anti-circumcision propaganda site, yes.

That was my point, too. I know it doesn't mean much, but it's round 1 and we don't know anything. For lack of a better place to put my vote, I'm keeping it on TC.

VOTE: NO ONE

Paradise said no one. How do I know he'd do that?

The only reason I can see, is that you're the first poster. I beleive the Firefox excuse. We were just talking about internet browsers in another thread so it's quite possible you switched over.

TC was the first to vote for Menhad, but I'll forgive that since it was the first vote. However, Q and Leb jumped on a bandwagon on a very weak argument, not to mention invalid.

Vote: No One

Rationale: 3/4 chance of voting out a townie otherwise. Not good odds.

Where'd the second vote on me come from?

NH, Paradise, again with the "No One"s. You realize that if we don't vote anyone at all, there's a 0 chance of getting a mafiate/villian. Whith each death, townie or mafiate, the odds increase of getting a mafiate. By not voting for someone, the mafia gets a "free shot".

Sure, if we vote no one repeatedly, it will be easier to determine the mafia, but it prolongs the game and EVERYONE looks suspicious.

You forget the cop. And the vigilante. And the assassin.

So? If one of them are killed, we're all screwed. Plus, there's an equal chance the cop will find a mafiate as there is of lynching a random person. The vigilante and assasin can't really make an educated guess without the cop, who could take several rounds to find a mafiate, at which point several townies would be dead and maybe even the vigilante or assasin among them.

But if we vote for the wrong person, which is highly likely, the mafia gets another kill. By voting blindly, we make it likely that the mafia gets *two free shots*.

Honestly, I've gone back and forth on this issue. Its confusing.

Don't forget that if we lynch someone randomly we may lynch a townie with a role. That would be like shooting ourselves in the foot.

If you're willing so much to have first day lynch, maybe we should lynch you? :lol:
