As I said in my previous last post, I was in the middle of catching up on the day's posts, when I saw the VE saying you can't self-vote, and thought I'd jump in with a quick rule correction. Then I had dinner, more work stuff, etc. Content is coming soon (ie. later in this post.) I have a busy job at the moment (no internet there) so I can only post evenings - I think I made that clear at the start of the game. I'm not "trying to seem town", I'm just trying to find scum. No need to hide what ain't there. :)
Anyway. A cymru lynch makes me... nervous. And yes, I know I'm voting him at the moment. My thoughts- if he flips town, what does that give us? We know that he didn't like JJ for questionable reasons. We know that most everyone that has talked about him wants him to post more definite opinions on people. The only thing that could really distinguish the remaining live people from each other is whether or not they thought his "typo" was legitimate or not. And his role doesn't really even matter much for that - if someone thinks it's a typo, they still think it's a typo whether he's scum or not. There's also the consideration of whether he's currently helping the town (as either scum or town) - currently not much. I guess it makes sense to - when you see several people as equally scummy - lynch the one that's the least helpful to the town. Of course this is all a big
if
he flips town. If he's scum, that's great, but doesn't give a lot of info about his partner.
Compare a cy lynch to say... Grimm. Or Workdawg. Or VE. Or myself even. All of these people have been supported or accused by several others, with several heated debates on both sides. When the lynchee flips, we get a ton of new data to see who supported or attacked them. Of course, I wouldn't propose a VE lynch over a cymru lynch, cause I think VE's looking pretty townie. But just saying that if we're choosing between two sketchy people, let's consider how much the result will help us.
Then there's Blue, who, while he looks relatively townie to me, also looks terribly inexperienced/terrible at mafia, and is a dangerous loose cannon. Blindly following someone else is dangerous no matter how townie VE looks - this could be giving the mafia three votes. Considering that we'll need only four to lynch tomorrow (assuming lynch/nightkill), that's a little too close for comfort. Even if VE is town, a second opinion would be more useful than a double vote, I think.
Al I'm hesitant about because if he is town, we'd loose a potentially good player
If Al is mafia, they'd lose a potentially good player. @everyone that's not lynching me because they don't want to lose the IC - note that an experienced player can help the mafia just as much as they can help town.
Okay, because people keep adding new posts in the thread since I started writing this, I'm going to cut it off here and start a new post. Cause I realize that in this long post, I've said incredibly little about anything specific.
