, IN THIS GAME,I referred to a lynched mafia tracker as a mafia watcher, being the noob I am. The mod realizes that the tracker was indeed a watcher and proceeds to change it so. I get lynched for the impression that I knew more info even though I really accidentally used tracker and watcher interchangeably. It was too little too late though, and there was no undoing it. I got lynched for a semantic mistake that uncovered a mod mistake that framed me. 
My situation was just unfortunate for me. I didn't do much to help myself though, as I was already a candidate for scumminess by some. I kept insisting that I made a mistake referring to them as the same, but the others thought I was not being genuine.animorpherv1 wrote:This is what I am talking about.

Agreed. Many more games are doing this now, and the game I was in that this was instituted turned out great. I will certainly do this when I mod my first game.Glork wrote:Also, more mods need to institute faster deadlines. I am a big fan of two- or three-week days, maximum. It makes people make decisions and play more quickly.
Oh okay. Their is only one gametype where it is a legitimate threat, and that's the Lover's Mafia being run in open. But you are right about people in other games using it as a fearmongerer in early game. It is just that the Lover's Mafia fiasco is still pertinent in my mind.TSQ wrote:You miss my point. I call speedlynching the mafia boogeyman, because despite the fearmongering that people often cite it for, I have never ever seen it happen. It's not a legitimate harm, because chances of it happening are so remote.
No, a townie got all hot and bothered when I refused to quicklynch d1. Said townie semi-selfdestructed and hammered someone who he "knew" was town. And then the scum quicklynched him d2 because I voted for him. And the scum team had 10 postsThestatusquo wrote:Seems like quicklynch would be more hazardous to scum than town in that situation, which enforces my point. Let me guess, one of the scum got quicklynched d1?
