I will use my ability based on how I feel it can best be used towards my wincon. I think using it N1 is most beneficial for keeping the cop alive and not lynching Absta for purely PL purposes (as well as for the sake of using it before I die).In post 277, Mitillos wrote:@Brian: Do you agree to use your power on N1, or do you believe that it would be best to use it later? Will your answer change depending on today's lynch?
I don't know if my answer will change based on today's lynch because the only reason I would use it on a different day is if a) the even-night cop is no longer around to be protected (in which case I can now use my ability on even nights) and b) I feel the ability can be better used later on in the game.
Using it Night 1 still looks like a logical choice to me.
I'm not interested in lynching somebody I think is town just because their role is deemed negative utility. Absta's posting reads townish and it looks like he's seriously trying to find scum. I'd rather try and find the scum-team before he becomes a liability than just lynching him for PL purposes. However, I understand the concern over the role but I'd rather deal with it if it actually becomes an issue (Day 2) than not trying to lynch scum today.In post 278, Micc wrote:1. Lynch absta
Why do you want to lynch Farside? And why isn't Yiley mentioned in your list considering you want to lynch him today?
I asked that question because Yiley is an investigative role and I was wondering if you think it could have been a reason for Absta to shy away from the lynch instead of having to be Yiley's scumbuddy.In post 281, Micc wrote:I'm not quite sure how this question relates, but yes I could understand why town would be nervous about potentially mislynching a known investigative role. No, I don't think that's why absta was shying away from considering Yiley as possible scum. I was linking them together as a possible scumteam in my head.Either way it is pretty clear that absta wasn't simply shying away from considering Yiley for scum because of his role as a cop. If that was the case absta would not have four other players as higher scum reads.
The bold part doesn't make sense to me. What does Absta having four higher scum reads have anything to do with Absta not simply shying away from considering Yiley? Absta had Yiley as a null-read so it makes sense Absta would be a little concerned.
I also think you make a fine investigation target because you're the one person that's guaranteed to live through N2 with our plan.

I like Farside's recent posts. Her feelings about the Absta lynch resonate with me quite a bit.
Also, I'm not reading the numbers you guys keep throwing in the thread. They're confusing and can be manipulated.
I'm not interested in Tier right now. I don't find him particularly scummy and I don't think your case on him holds any water.In post 291, absta101 wrote:I stated in my 'case' on Tier.
I like this. Even if PrivateI would flip town, we would at worst lose a vote. But we'd still have a town voice. I don't even know if anyone is townreading PrivateI right now, but if we were to compromise lynch, this would be my choice.In post 296, Mitillos wrote:To be completely honest, I'd rather lynch PrivateI or Yiley, at this point. Both have lurked the game away and I'm not seeing much in the way of scumminess from the other players, yet.
In fact, PrivateI has basically only really talked about Yiley. As farside pointed out, he hasn't given any scumreads. He's been sitting on his RV and his biggest contributions were to 1) sort of suggest a no-lynch and 2) defend Yiley, without even giving a read on him, until much later (111 posts and 5 days later, to be precise).
So, my preferential lynch order is PrivateI > Yiley > absta (only for strategic purposes) > anyone else.
Also, I'm opposed to PL'ing Absta unless we have to.
I'm still nervous about lynching the cop, but he has yet to come in and town-post despite telling us he would come in and do it (and none of his posting thus far looks town). I'm okay with moving over to his wagon if I have to.
VOTE: PrivateI
