I disagree it is just as (if not more) important to us to get the vampires under suspicion as it is for the vampires to get anyone besides themselves under suspicion. Of course meaningless accusations like 'I think Eomer is a vampire because he eats nails for breakfast' are unsubstantial and mean nothing. However, with accusations we get reactions, but most importantly we get interaction between everyone (which has been greatly lacking so far!)...and that can lead to clues to someone's true identity.

It's good in my opinion not to give too much into feelings or first sights and so on on the first day, because we don't know anything yet, basically.~Legate
I guess I would have to call this a difference of opinion between us. As I act primarily on 'feeling' (especially on Day 1!). A statement seems awkward to me, I get a bad 'feeling' about someone's posting, I go after 'em.

One thing I've been meaning to try out lately is asking questions...I think we all need to ask more questions to people, judge their responses see if the person appears genuine or whether their just pulling something out of their arse.

So, now onto this making our votes known...and such. It is definitely the best thing we can ask for. Yes, we know people will be lying, but that's the whole point! We can perhaps spot when someone is lying.

For example, if I'm not mistaken the lynch seer is given the number of votes that the person who will be lynched received. So, let's say if the person who gets lynched received 6 votes, yet when we go back to the previous day and tally up all of them, there were 7 votes for that person...well we know someone was lying and couldn't vote, therefor someone in that group must be a vampire. Which can be a huge benefit to us as we now know someone in that group couldn't vote and therefor is a vampire.

Also, as Roa said, there is absolutely no reason any innocent should lie about their vote. If they do they are exactly what Roa said...a traitor and are only helping the vampires. If this making our votes known is to work, all innocents must be completely honest, as we already have at least 3 who won't be.
