The very clear choice is to lynch...

Me

Think about it. I am guaranteed not to live through N1 anyway. Planting the Town flag in the center square gives us the best shot at getting three in a row.

All lynches are pro-Town naughts

All night kills are pro-scum crosses

Why would we give the most powerful square to scum

We need to win by lynching the scum, same as we would in a conventional Mafia game. Lynching town is not a path to victory in a conventional Mafia game, therefore we're not taking the centre square.

^Town

While it isn't true that all TTT games end in a draw (There are a couple of opening moves leading to inevitable wins which most people don't see) it would be impossible to get three in a row with what I proposed. Any time we got two in a row, scum could block us easily, even if they had to kill one of their own to do it

I was waiting for someone to look at it critically enough to recognize that

Okay, we've got two Townies

Hey, guy. I was reaction testing when I suggested we lynch me. Taking the center square first is the sucker's route. It can't lead to anything but a tie. The only way to actually win is to do something else

An example

We put an O in the center, scum takes a corner X, then any space we go in leads us to endless countering
We put an O in the center, scum takes a side X, then any space we go in leads us to endless countering

Do the math. Lynching me is anti-Town from the Tic Tac Toe angle, in addition to the fact that it bypasses a shot at scum

Our best bet is to take a corner, that gives us options. I think it should be RedCoyote. This is just the reaction I was resting for.the opportunity to lynch an Innocdnt Child who's willing to go is just too much a temptation

Vote RedCoyote

I'm aware of the justification you made. I disagree - there's no point in forfeiting a lynch that may hit scum when there is no tactical gain to it.

You have a reasonable point concerning scum directing who we lynch, but the two investigations nonsense is total bunk

Besides, by lynching a corner, WE take control

--O

---
-X-
--O

If scum take the center square Night One, then THEY will be forced to follow US

Your argument is invalid, and I am quite happy to make the corner we take yours

Nevermind, I hadn't noticed that you'd RVS'd him. My bad.

I suppose this is fair. I assume, based on your post, that your RVS vote is serious now and you would like to see RedCoyote lynched, then?


Yes I would like to see RedCoyote lynched currently based on him agreeing to lynch a confirmed townie, and based on my post earlier.

RedCoyote's justification was more elaborate than that, and so is the case against him. This looks like distancing

Nah. There's a pretty obvious next lynch, though I'd rather not elaborate

Although you'll definitely die before you can elaborate?

A yes or no answer will suffice.

VOTE: RedCoyote

I grow weary of waiting.

Depends. If I were them, I wouldn't shoot me

I'm pretty much ready to lynch

I approve of the condom flavor survey

If I get night killed, I absolutely without reservation DEMAND T-Bone's lynch. No excuses
