And my lynch first is optimal. I am assured not king by VC, so if Wolf is scum he already knows not to shoot me and its the same as lynching him tomorrow and he gains no info if everyone just shuts the fuck up. If I am scum, I am still unsure if Wolf is king or not as he is not uncleared by Vote count.
Unvote, Vote armlx
This is scenario number 3-4 where this is the correct play.
By the way, I'll be doing votecounts by page, not by elapsed time -- I'll try to get one votecount per page, if possible. I hope this is okay with everyone.
EDIT:
Double-posted with armlx, votecount fixed to reflect his change.

"Here are the rules..." A little later, "Oops, I messed up. A lynch between us is inevitable." The Guard complied. He was lynched with great vigor and verve, and some would argue that his death fit his life rather well. Anyway, in a one-fifth self-sacrificial move, armlx has been slaughtered by the Guard. Pulling off his mask, they find...a Guard! Oh no! All is well, they are more left to kill....
Lynching someone because "they've been outed as a non-king" is not good. We should only lynch people that we think are likely to be the assassin, since guards (even if they've been "outed,") can give their own perceptions and votes. Add that to the WIFOM factor, and it's pretty cool.
I didn't want to say that yesterday because I liked the armlx wagon and I didn't want to stall it.
You "liked" it? Does that mean that you thought he's the assassin, or just that it looked shiny?
I think armlx's original idea is good, because outed non-kings are as good as dead as far as the assassin's choice is concerned, and until they are lynched, we don't actually know whether they're outed guards or the outed assassin.
Sorry Korts, I think i meant to say something that i intended to make sound smart, but I failed miserably.
was supposed to be more like a "Likes Armlx idea, but i agree wih armlx. If we keep an "outed" guard alive, then if/when the assassin dies, thats one less person he/she has to think about to use their vengence kill on." and then I would have voted you. Can't even think why I typed it the other way and actually submitted it.

Wolf, I fucking hate your face, but still <3 you as a whole. - Starbuck

If that's some kind of logic behind your vote, I'm not following it. If it's not, you're restating valid points, which doesn't hurt.
