Results are only viewable after voting.
I won't be around later, unless I check in on my phone, because I'll be at a party. After reading through this I am going to stick to my vote for vshah. He was looking for an early way to point the finger at someone, then when that backfired backed out and is doing what is in the mafia's best interest, which is abstaining. Otherwise he has been completely silent and seemingly trying to lay low. FWIW, this is not revenge, I find his behavior highly suspicious.

If I am killed tonight, I guess you guys will know why.

Mafia members aren't likely to vote for one another, particularly on the first day. Later on, they might have to in order to protect the rest of their team.

EDIT: Watch, though... as soon as someone NOT on their team is chosen, they'll often jump on the bandwagon (provided they didn't start the bandwagon themselves).

At this point, there is so many ways you could spin anything anyone says....haha

If you know only one or two votes will go for your mafia brethren...why not vote for him, shows you might possibly NOT be mafia, but really are...that sort of thing.

This is sound logic... his vote is based on similar reasoning to mine, except that I chose a bandwagoner instead of an early fingerpointer. I could be convinced to choose vshah.

Absolutely. I've played the game before. But you cannot question the logic, can you? No; the best you can say is that I am possibly spinning things.

Of course. But in this particular variant of Mafia, where votes can be changed on a whim, you wouldn't want to call attention on your Mafia brother. After all, everyone could jump right on your bandwagon, thereby killing your team member. Not a smart plan.
 
But in this game, the bandwagon is looking like a bad thing to be doing, so in turn, your vote for a brethren could be going no where, knowing that no one will follow .. and flip flop again.

It's not always a bad thing. In this particular game on the first Day, however, it was an indicator - to me, anyway - of people's initial motivations.

Like I said earlier, the first vote only seems to be random if you don't know what you're looking for. 😉

EDIT: If you guys choose to vote for someone for a logical reason - not just because everyone else is doing it - then you're not just "bandwagoning".
