Although, killing the third poster after the daypost has a far higher success-rate. | ||

I'm relatively new, so forgive if this is something obvious that I just haven't picked up yet... Lots of new players(no meta) + I don't always take meta into consideration on Day 1. I'm also not going to wait for a Scum slip. I also don't want to know what the setup is until Day 2 when (if) the Detective has a chance to get off an investigation. So we can random lynch to kick things off, or go the traditional route and play the discussion game. Although if I was going to lynch someone you or Palmero over there would get the noose asap. | ||

And the chances to hit scum is probably better with consious lynching rather than randoming anyway. | ||

That was aimed at Ace, btw Jacinto, I agree with you on this one. I'm not saying base discussions on meta or setup or outting PRs. I'm saying if there's someone scummy to lynch before night falls, we lynch him. If not, THEN I'll get into a random-lynching discussion. | ||

FOS (Finger of Suspicion) : Jacinto and Viscera. Ok this is the one and only time im going to use FOS...but i couldnt resist the first time. it's amusing to me in some way. You guys look helpful but you're really not. Posts look a little forced. Jacinto looks a little better than Viscera. I like Ace's posts. | ||

Secondly basing lynches off of purely meta are dangerous, and most importantly: useless much of the time. If you want to go the meta route then break down some players' meta for us and lets see what everyone thinks. @Jacinto: We can do random lynch via Mod by having him roll a number for us, or pick an unbiased source or random event (like sports score or timing of a home run) to lynch someone. | ||

Allright, that makes more sense. However, I don't really see the point of random lynching. Sure, the DT could get an investigation, but we still don't know if we actually have a DT or even a doctor in the game. I don't get how random lynching could "kick things off", to the contrary, to me it seems that a RL would just keep the game stagnated. Could you explain more closely exactly how a RL would contribute to our cause? | ||

Tell me how that's scummy if you please. Clearly you agree with lynching randomly as Ace does, and his non-answer to my question apparently doesn't bother you because you're in perfect agreement about who you'd lynch given the reins. So let me pose this question to you, because I KNOW Ace has an answer for me. What benefit does town get from lynching a random person? | ||

I'm not sure we have a Detective, but if he/she exists throwing up a random lynch and letting the pieces fall might help set their Scumdar in the right direction. | ||

I'm not saying we base anything off meta. I'm also not saying we base anything off setup discussion. I'm also not saying we let the power-roles do all the work this game. I'll thank you to not try and 'lead' a discussion toward one of those topics, as clearly you don't want to talk about it and frankly I don't have the experience to keep up. But I'm absolutely against random-lynching at this time because we have a whole day of information to gather and we can decide later who to lynch. .........this is some kind of extreme aversion to no-lynch isn't it? | ||

As far as I can see a RL has a 9:3 chance of just making us down a townie and we don't even know if we have a DT, If we have a DT then there is a 50% chance of there being a Roleblocker also if the DT claims they then have a 50% chance of being useless. Can someone please explain why a RL is better than a no lynch. | ||
