these two quotes just rub me wrong way. saying we should hold off lynch for sole purpose of discussion and unvoting to prevent premature lynch just doesn't seem right. i agree discussion is good, town needs it to win, but last time i saw people hold off of L-1 for sake of discussion...no lynch resulted. lynching townie, although not good in it's own right, is better then no lynch.
False dichotomy. You drew a link between what happened in a previous game and this game as though it will happen again. There is no good reason not to use more of our 6,000 words on discussion before lynching, especially as the case against animorpherv isn't watertight atm. animorpherv please post in the thread, with content or a case against someone or something so it can be decided if you're worthy of a lynch or not. No crappy "lost role pm" comments.

I'm here. Haven't contributed because I'm waiting for a better Animorph response. Saying he lost his role PM is dumb. Did he not memorize what his role was? You don't "need" the role PM to play after discussion starts.

A lot of everything else is mostly nitpicking about too much versus too little words. I'm not really seeing a Jebus and veerus distancing as Alvinz first claimed. Seems pointless because why bother to do it in Day 1 with such a large game. No one else is under any threat of lynch yet so I figured smarter scum play would just be to ignore it.

And I was suspicious of Narsis withholding his thoughts on scum, then he posted it not too long ago. Don't agree with his last 2 cases. Saying that he's suspicious of people backing out of a wagon at L-1 because it might lead to No Lynch is an unrealistic concern with this game's Day 1. We have reasonable control of Day length with mod support. And Afternoon sucks, but it's not a No Lynch.

Agreement - animorpherv1's scumminess would forge stronger case. But compelling argument remains if ani town - he wanted to help animoprherv's wagon without actively voting. Either way, he's scummy.

Argument requires ani, Jebus and veerus to all be scum. Jebus attempts to bail out ani, veerus distances from both and shifts focus to Jebus. Occam's razor, though.

Percy's recent posting gives me odd feeling.

Skitzer's totally lurking, also

Vote ortolan
Really scummy. Top suspect along with FL.
Ani's a good lynch too, though possible incompetent newb. Needs to post more.

this is my first game on these forums. i have yet to get to know how people play. thus i must base how people react on previous experience.

No.
actually, yes. first, if the player is lurking and/or refusing to defend himself then it would be better to lynch him now. lurker at LYLO = bad. secondly, we learn 100% that he is townie. this allows us to more accurately read people based on how they reacted to the wagon against him, and after, how they react to his lynch.

on the flip-side, a no lynch, particularily on day 1, gives the town little to no information and the scum a free kill. yes, pro-town power roles can do stuff, but compared to good old fashioned scumhunting, they are worth little.

Your experience is limited, the dichotomy you drew is false. Accept that.

No.

I agree, and if he doesn't play ball now I will happily vote for him. Give him a chance to reply though.

Yeah. No-lynch is like giving the other team the ball after winning the coin toss in overtime. In almost all situations, a very bad idea. Townie lynch = risk worth taking for scumhunting, info, and the chance to lynch scum.

Other note, Narsis, I wasn't trying to lead to a no-lynch, am almost sure my unvote wouldn't have done so. Just prefered more discussion before the lynch then - want to take advantage of the discussion we can have; and some useful things
have
been noted. That said, don't want to run into Afternoon if alternative is Ani lynch, as I find him scummy enough to think him a good lynch today. Lost PM? Maybe, maybe not. Scummy, contradictory position on word-conservation, scummy vote on RR citing a pro-town post? Check.

I would think if you actually lost your role pm (and genuinely couldn't remember your role) the correct thing to do would be simply to pm the mod rather than tell the other players about it.

That and how have you been posting without knowing whether your posts are meant to benefit town or your mafia team?

I've had enough of this shit. You people want something, PM me. Got it? Nat is the beack-up if I dissappear, not if you feel like PMing him because I've been busy but have had no PMs about this game.
