Just, to throw in my .02 about double lynching:
Double lynching consistently changes the fundamental balance of power in the game. Instead of the ratio being 1:1 of town:scum controlled kills, it becomes 2:1. You run the risk of steamrolling town into an unwinnable situation pretty quickly if the scum team is widely townread and manages to keep themselves from getting lynched, but if the scum team is in such a strong position, it's likely town would do the exact same thing, only it would take them longer.
Which brings me to my point about the *risk* of consistently attempting to double lynch: If the power of towns' NA's are greater than the power of the scums, it's possible that it might be more advantageous to town to *not* double lynch all the time. We already have evidence of vig shots under town control - likely multiple roles with at least single shots, through the nature of the MC system and Varsoons assurance that the game has been balanced against never ending scum MC shenanigans; this is in addition to the killing abilities among the techniques. We have lost one of those vigs, but there are almost certainly more. By constantly no lynching, we are reducing the opportunities for those power, and others to be useful.
I feel like a double lynch is certainly a strong move this early in the game(though if we only had one shot at it, I would be inclined to want to save it for later in the game), but we need to exercise caution.
Wgeurts has told me he's going to have to do a buncha reevaluating in light of sensei's confirmation as either town or a teammate of R&L(with the teammate possibility being improbable, but still possible). I really want to see what he has to say about Maxwell.
DP: I'm very confused about your ABR stance. You said not so long ago that your heads had resolved the confusion with regards to ABR, by essentially saying that Titus was scum reading him because of what she viewed as attacks on her abilities. In spite of that, you are still pushing for someone else to be MC, and just generally displaying uncertainty about him. Didn't the mollie head say she was townreading him? I would expect if the Titus head scumread was resolved, you would be in favor of ABR? Is the Cooldog concern that great, that the connection between the two that you believe you see overrides your town read on his slot?
zzzx: I don't see much of worth coming from you, and if it is there, it's hard to follow. I read your posts, and I don't feel as though I've gained much information. That leaves me without much to comment on.
I actually disagree with most of those who have commented that the DGB interaction somehow made her seem town, and you scum. There's nothing wrong with interacting with a scumread, I think it's dumb to just not interact with scumreads further once you've established them, that's the sort of thing that keeps you from refining your reads and reevaluating the game state. I feel that's either a difference in the way I feel about effectively engaging with scumreads, or some confirmation bias going on with regards to the people who supported her stance.

pedit: Sensei as MC is only a good idea if we feel there's sufficient other primary targets for scum that making him MC won't simply make him the default kill tonight, unless we don't mind losing the double lynching ability+having Drixx as MC tomorrow. There's also the little fact that we don't actually *know* he's confirmed town, AND that ABR has claimed he will deliver scum to us on D3(without clarifying if being MC is required for the mechanism of that ability to work)/that not getting MC to him today will be disastrous for town.
I would answer but he wants your thought processes.
