Some requests: If you're fluent in BB formatting, PLEASE use spoilers and quotes. Text walls are easier to swallow when they're broken up. If you're not, please keep your thoughts concise and to the point. I'd like to try and keep the discussion focused this game. Obviously with such varied personalities, this is likely to be difficult. If we all do our part to keep the thread nice, we may even get to keep the All button! ^^ Probably my most sincere hope is that we avoid some of the mud-slinging and nonsense that tends to go with these games. Obviously some of us are going to get frustrated, but if we all try and primarily attack arguments, not people, I think the game will go a lot smoother. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/U84EX.jpg) | ||

In my opinion, we should be focused on trying to AGREE on a lynch candidate, this appears to be an experimental format combining deadline and majority lynching...so No Lynch IS an option and in most cases should be AVOIDED if possible. | ||

If someone's analysis doesn't make sense or doesn't add up in some way, that doesn't automatically make them scum. It might make them wrong. But it certainly doesn't automatically make them scum. Before you fly off the handle and hitch up the wagon, consider first what brought them to that conclusion. Often times, there's a reason for it, and you just have to ask or clarify. Yes, the game is about deciding who among us we're going to hang to death (or beat with a crowbar or subject to a virus, or whatever)...that doesn't mean we have to act like murderers in here. Things like "DIE SCUM DIE" (I'm looking at you Palmar) only detract from any kind of pro-town environment we're able to create over the next couple of days. And hopefully everyone gets a chance to read over the rules before they start posting in here. A lot of townies are lynched because they asked too many questions that have already been answered in THE ORIGINAL POST. This game is about reading THIS thread. The WHOLE thread. Please do so. | ||

 Ace, what possible information could be gleaned from deciding who to lynch based on randomness (if that's what you're proposing?) I'm relatively new, so forgive if this is something obvious that I just haven't picked up yet... | ||

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. | ||

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. All right Dragon, then we dispense with the pleasantries. I'm trying to create a pro-town environment. 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 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? | ||

Given that this is a game with a fair amount of beginners, it can be very easy for the mafia to direct the kills in this game. Again, a lot of this depends on how much you have played...but it looks like you have some experience. I think your posts look a little forced and look helpful to the casual eye but really isn't helpful. Objecting to a random lynch by saying we have a higher chance of finding a mafia sounds really nice in theory....but honestly...i doubt the town has a higher than 25% of finding a mafia on day 1. That's where I guess we disagree. We have a BASELINE 25% chance to hit scum. At minimum. So any information we gather in the next few days INCREASES our chances of hitting scum. Sure, there's a chance that scum COULD lead the lynch, but there's also a chance that WE don't fall for it, or that WE force SCUM to lynch a partner. It all depends on the information we're able to get, and how we apply it. Arguing that we should random lynch because of something that COULD happen is ludicrous...just don't let it. | ||
