I think Random is likely scum and was lashing out at me to throw shade on me. Rach was prodded and if she doesn't rerespond she'll be replaced so if you tilt your head just right the he is sorta right but I still think attacking me like that is scum motivated.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The simple fact it is so hard to swing a lurker lynch here is information and our poor vig doesnt have a tactical nuke to deal with the lurkaderp zombie hoards.

For the most part, you lynch scum since nothing can interfere qith a lynch as where night actions are less certain. We shouldn't have to be explaining mafia theory to TAM.

If you want to know why lurkers shouldn't be lynched, and should be vigged, see Metal Gear Solid V Mafia. 3 days were wasted by trying to lynch a lurker (who admitedly was lynchproof). If they had tried to vig PV instead of lynching him, then they might have had a chance of winning that game.
Using a town trying to lynch someone who is lynchproof three days in a row as an example of why lurkers shouldn't be lynched is sort of silly, don't you think? Town got punished for lynching PV because he was lynchproof, not because he was a lurker.

You get information when you lynch scum. You don't get the same level of information when you lynch town.

Almost seems too wolfy to be a wolf though. Like, what's the point of attacking you there when you're not a wagon and rach (who's being discussed) isn't either? I mean, I guess it could just be scum playing badly, but I'd think that attacking you for being wrong on the facts when he himself was wrong on the facts is just bad play in and of itself and not especially AI.

By to TAM do you mean to DiamonSentinel? He's the one who's saying that we should avoid lynching scumreads if they're lurking because they don't give enough information when they die.

Which isn't to say that random is a town read, just that that moment in and of itself strikes me as null/bad play and nit necessarily wolfy. If there isn't day chat I'd be more suspicious, but my sense is larges usually have day chat. Is that correct?

Without day chat he'd be lying on his own more, and I could see the need to produce "content" or an overreaction to shade thrown as possible reasons to suspect him. With day chat, though, it'd surprise me more. Like, what's the point of saying something that's very obviously going to make himself look bad? I'd expect him to bring it up in day chat there as opposed to reacting itt, unless we're dealing with lol wolves here.

This is a game that you played with Nosferatu where he was town and not useless at all. The other recent game I found he was scum and useless and replaced out D1.

What are you getting this "useless regardless of alignment" thing from again?

lo siento.

As far as I remember I've only played with you twice, once as scum and once as town. In both games I don't remember you doing anything. In the town game once you got to MYLO you towned it up but my stance is still that you are p useless early game.

I find that reasoning weak and reachy. People say things that are blatantly wrong all the time but unfortunately it's not always alignment indicative. I don't think that there's scum motivation for saying that Rach was replaced. Do you?

If he is feeling the need to produce content, and said content is bad, I can conceive of scum motivation behind his inability to produce better content, and the need to look like he's doing stuff. But like I said. I think it's much more bad play than AI.

So since it seems like you're representing a nacho lynch as being for info, who looks better or worse from a town/wolf flip and why? "lynches give info" can justify and lynch at all.

Ps for that matter, since lynch info matters to you, what did you think you learned from the MOZ lynch? Who are the villagers who strognarmed that one?

Can you not? I mean, honestly, how can you read what I'm posting and say "You know, I bet this guy is
totally
scum. Like, everything he says is just scummy, and deserves a lynch." Are you even reading? Or are you scum. I doubt you're scum, because this push is nonsensical, and when I flip town, it
should
lead to your lynch (although with the current level of play, who can tell). I don't think that you're that bad of a player as to just be completely be suicidal on your scum game, but who can say.

Seriously, please start trying, Nero.

PEdit: Thanks for asking that, smith. You get a townread for actually trying this game.
