I'd be OK with lynching why mafia honestly. Like I said as long as it's not my town reads I really don't care. I would like o feel better about lore before lynching whymafia. Assuming we stay away from penguin.
I dont think tunneling is super helpful in general, i think it leads to confirmation bias and someone's reads are only half of what i am looking at anyway. i think it is more useful to pull back a little and try to consider anyone you dont have confirmation on as if their actions are either town or scum. I am not always great with that but i try to keep my ideas more general and not trust other people just because i agree with them on one or two things. its easier said than done.
pisskop wanted to end the day early, then used an emotionally manipulative argument to try and get people to agree with him (something to the effect of "bad people like to drag the day out but good people know to end it") and while the long days can be TEDIOUS i think they ultimately give more power to town which is what we should be looking for.
as far as i can tell, scum has like 3 main motivations day 1:
lynch town, power role if you can but any town is better than not town.
reduce the ability of town to effectively communicate (shortening the day is included here)
and get themselves town cred for future days.
pisskop argued to end the day early though and that seems pretty suspect to me right now. i might change my mind later. there is a reason he was on my "scummy but not as scummy as the other people" part of that list. i am fully aware that town sometimes makes anti-town plays so one thing isn't quite enough for me to decide.
Chill: why are you so convinced I am scum? have you articulated it yet?
