Um... no thanks? Not unless we get a deadline extension anyway.
Context: I was in a game which allowed half-majority lynches at deadline. I went to bed at L-1 with about 12 hours til deadline. When I woke up, four of the players had gone berserk and, over about three posts, dismantled the leading bandwagon and started a new one on someone who wasn't even present - it was almost me! They ended up lynching the tracker.
Punchline: Everyone involved was town, and the entire day had no useable information that reflected on scum at all, since the scum weren't in any way involved in the lynch. The moral is that rush-lynches at deadline are terrible,
terrible
ideas, and "last orders" for a reasonable lynch was when I called it, about three or four days ago.

Rubbish. If you die and flip scum, we'll be able to look at who was on your bandwagon and decide if any of them were bussing you. If you die and flip town, we'll be able to look at who was on your bandwagon and decide if any of them were scum. For example, your ashmite case may get more attention tomorrow if you flip town, or may not, but if it does it'll be with the knowledge of your alignment.
[quqote="Greasy Spot"]A town that lynches with no logic is a scum led town and will not lead to a town win.[/quote]Believe it or not I have logic behind your bandwagon:
1) Attempting to decry mnowax as "likely town" despite the fact he killed scum.
2) Quickly following mnowax's "Dasquian and DGB" suspicion with no real explanation.
3) Attempting to get populartajo lynched for his three claims. That felt like you weren't scum-hunting so much as easy-lynch-hunting.
You know what? That case isn't brilliant, but I was more than happy with it for a first serious D1 bandwagon. Shame that the deadline means it was also the only one we got, but
that's
why it's you and
that's
why I'm sticking with it.
Also, please don't put your replies inside people's quote blocks, it's horrible to read.
