Not really, I didn't really like the whole no lynch thing, but that is such a newbie thing to do, almost every newbie game has at least one person who thinks this is a good idea, untill it is explained to them that this is really no help to anyone apart from scum.Messiah wrote:@PurplePrincess: You don't find anything that Wysp has done suspicious?
Eh, if he is replaced, he's out of the game and won't win or lose no matter what the outcome is. No worries about that.oramiuri wrote:Perhaps I'm micro analyzing, but what do people think of Sarcyn's leave? Is he bored with his role of a vanilla townie, or does he feel unwilling to go through the effort of being a doc/cop/mafia? Or am I just being ridiculous and he truly has better things to do?
This is an interesting take on the idea; do you feel that the newbies who vote no lynch are equally town and scum?purple princess wrote:Not really, I didn't really like the whole no lynch thing, but that is such a newbie thing to do, almost every newbie game has at least one person who thinks this is a good idea, untill it is explained to them that this is really no help to anyone apart from scum.Messiah wrote:@PurplePrincess: You don't find anything that Wysp has done suspicious?
So you are saying that i claimed townie so i could identify myself as a power role, and because im scum, I can then kill myself at night?Claiming townie early helps scum narrow down who they should target for their nightkill (and potentially block) since they usually try to kill (or block) power roles. It's blatantly obvious why claiming early is anti-town.
Depends, if they change their vote because it is explained to them that no lynch only benefits scum, from some of the other newbie games I have played I have come across people who use the no lynch move as it works on other sites they have played on, I don't really think it has a place here on day one unless you are scum.julienvonwolfe wrote:This is an interesting take on the idea; do you feel that the newbies who vote no lynch are equally town and scum?

More time doesn't always result in a better decision. Sometimes it just lets scum blend in and fix or explain away their previous scummy behavior.NewAgeWarrior wrote:No, I am not opposed to a lynch, all I meant was that a no lynch was better than a stupid, half assed lych that could easily end up in a towns death. I unvoted in fear of a quicklynch because we should draw this day out much longer (we still have like 2 weeks), so we can get more info and reactions.
No, I'm saying that assuming that you're not scum and you're actually a townie, then your claim only helps the 2 players who are scum narrow down their night action choices.NewAgeWarrior wrote:So you are saying that i claimed townie so i could identify myself as a power role, and because im scum, I can then kill myself at night?Claiming townie early helps scum narrow down who they should target for their nightkill (and potentially block) since they usually try to kill (or block) power roles.

The only argument you've stated in favor of nolynch is "we may lynch town". But, even if we do, we'll see who was on the wagon (more information) and, if we have a cop, we increase the chance that the cop finds scum from 2 in 8 if we nolynch to 2 in 7, that's assuming cop randomly selects their investigation target. The same thing is true if we have a doctor.NewAgeWarrior wrote: As far as post 97 is concerned, I don't think that a "no-lynch" should be out of the question. It's just stupid to not want to talk about one of our options.
How did talking about thisIt's just stupid to not want to talk about one of our options.
It would bother me too, except when I am reassured that my vote is justified when I see responses as incredibly insightful [/sarcasm] asExedrin wrote:XScorp's focus on lurkers is the right idea (it's good to pressure lurkers and generate discussion), but singleminded focus on lurkers is a bit scummy. Secondly, note that it's impossible to pressure someone who isn't going to read your vote/accusation/suspicion/wild theory/whatever. I think it's a noob mistake to fail to distinguish between someone who flaked and someone who is actually lurking. It also bothers me that there are multiple lurkers and XScorp has focused on one in particular.

It's really hard for me to be convinced to vote Wysp when the biggest lurker right now makes one sentence posts VOTING FOR WYSP, while Wysp has actually offered a defense and reasons to his actions.Exedrin wrote:XScorp, how set on lynching Wysp are you?
That tough for me at this point. Wysp has done the most scummy things this game IMO but i dont feel as if he is scum, just new.NewAgeWarrior, since you're in favor of lynching today, who do you want to lynch today?
This post is extraordinary. n107, care to give your thoughts? We're well out of the random vote stage now, so I should hope you've got some substance to back up the vote.n107yuh wrote:oh....i need to preview. right, ok.Vote: Wysp
