Catching up, expect some outdated replies and a somewhat lengthier post.
Reck's death, which I consider inevitable before his confirmed alignment could hold any big benefits in POE, would be optimal for the town if it happened by scumkill, but the existence of the Innocent Child's vanillizing ability helps scum with each passing night--if the day cop finds a power role, a vanillizing by redirection and a kill the same night will give scum a foolproof safeclaim. There are facets to this dilemma that need to be taken into account, and I think decision on this front is a priority for town second only to the longer term one of finding the scum. I refuse to let this issue pass without a discussion at least, and outbursts of "why the fuck is discussion necessary" are highly suspicious from this point on, if not retrospectively. Ignoring the issue is also the same as refusing to address it or dismissing it. At the very least, a stance should be taken by everyone.
Incog, discussion is helpful. Your vote and your attempt to pre-empt any further elaboration don't make sense to me. What reason would I have as scum to force this discussion on town?
SSBF pushing the MPR quicklynch anxiousness issue with such vehemence in
post 62, for instance, is really off-color. The issue is completely irrelevant and doesn't deserve such in-depth analysis; MPR's reaction and later rationalization were both understandable to me, and making such a big deal of it seems like more than just an effort to spark discussion. He seems to be eager to make MPR a scapegoat.
Neither am I comfortable with the nitpicking in
118 regarding the entire post vs. response to Socrates part, nor the response to DemonHybrid with the loaded question that DH doesn't want an easy way of getting rid of scum. The former is useless logical masturbation and pointless filler; the latter question implies that SSBF had presented an easy way of getting rid of scum, when all he did was say in unnecessarily many words that there is an extremely slim chance of town killing the scumteam by Day 2.
I really don't like DemonHybrid's
post 87. What little of the post is actually spent on answering the question in reply to which the whole was apparently written is concerned with SSBF's setup speculation, which was well-reasoned as far as I can see. Nor can I see scum motives that DemonHybrid is ascribing to the bolded sections. Seems like a bad attempt at painting someone black. I somewhat agree with the target, but not with the particular reasoning--why not attack me, for instance, when I invited that speculation you so harshly attack?
Nachomamma stands out by nature of passivity far more than vezokpiraka. Nacho rides both the MPR and Hybrid wagons blatantly and without explanation, and gives no material to work with. Don't like him at all.
