I don't understand your reasoning on this. Seeing as how you are a veteran, I will bow to your decision however and drop the issue.



I'd much rather you understand what I'm saying. Which part doesn't make sense?

And just because I'm a veteran doesn't mean I'm right. I bet there are plenty of vets who disagree with my statement on LAL (and they might be right!).

I'll be gone for about the next 9 hours. Might be able to pop on around dinner time though.

Wait, the way I understood it, the BGs will only protect us tonight and then protect someone else tomorrow, but I can see now that I may have misunderstood. Can we get a clarification?

Sure. Hopefully we can clear this up quickly.

In my opinion, lying does nothing to benefit the town, save rare circumstances in which a blue town role needs to keep their identity hidden. If we can bring issues to the fore-front with honesty and integrity, we would be able to root scum out quicker than if everyone was throwing off-hand lies. I can understand you're feeling on the case-by-case basis; I think it's pretty self-evident that most things in mafia need to be treated on a case-by-case basis; In this way, Policy is a bad word to use since it shows an unwavering thought process regardless of potential outcomes.

Seeing as how we are almost down a day already, and I agree with your statement about giving the mafia a way to tie up valuable time spent discussing this topic, I thought it better to drop the whole thing and defer to you're rational as a vet, and let sleeping dogs lie, as it were.

The whole point of bringing policy questions up in the first place was to try to get discussion to try to start some analysis. Maybe it's not a stereotypical move by players on the first night - we can chalk that up to my inexperience if you want, I think it was just my personal way of getting discussion started.

Does that clear things up a bit, Radfield?

I have very little time, so I can only write a few sentences. So how the hell does a potential 3 votes beat the ability to crush all votes? It means he can save 2 scummates from being lynched!

Err, permission to edit that out?

I like that answer, despite disagreeing with the conclusion. The hydras will not be any harder to read than any other player in the game especially if they sign their posts.

I never said there is something wrong with it either, If I would had it would had been very clear because I would had provided arguments, ergo you can conclude I did never in any way say there is something wrong with it. I merely didn't want words put in my mouth.

Deus. what you said was an inch from basicly twisting that into claiming I said something is wrong with Radfields plan.

risk, your fos on my is disturbing and stupid. new players read "fos" and put me on their lists. you said you never said that you like radfields plan. and i want to know why you dont say this.
i say it: i like radfields plan.

players like you lose games for town. fosing around without any reasons.
why dont you use your brain before you post.
i didnt attack you in the slightest. i didnt put words in your mouth. i only wanted that you tell me why you dont say that you like rads plan. its so simple. now take your incredibly stupid fos back stop derailing and answer my question:
why are you talking with no content?

Both your points are practically the same

It will be much harder for scum to pull off that kind of stunt like we did last game on Palmar

Much less people this game and mayor decides ties and has hidden 2nd vote (assuming our mayor is town)

I still want to stick with the rule where there are to be no pardons used this entire game (barring any weird elections henceforth)

As for lynch candidate tonight - I had suggested early to lynch a hydra...actually a mayor candidate would work too since scum almost ALWAYS has a mayor candidate whether it be a serious bid or not

If you're town then why are you forcing a disussion on this topic which is 100% useless and nothing but a distraction for town.
my fos is valid and it's not the fos'd ones job to question it. It's funny how someone who tells me to "think" before "I" post doesn't have time to reread your own and mark it!!

lol zeks. lynching a hydra early on is the most stupid idea i read so far.
for scum a hydra is not that awesome. you can communicate with your fellowplayers either way.
a townhydra has a huge advantage. normally you cant discuss your reads in irc etc. and this is helping a lot.
therefor no hydralynch d1.

i'd actually told you this even if i were no hydra lol

Well, in Steamship I was town and never received a single vote on me, despite people being able to vote for as many people as they wanted, so I am assuming people read me pretty well there. Presumably I'll be pretty easy to read here as well. Hopefully the second head doesn't add too much confusion.

I like the policy of no pardons, no exceptions. If the majority decides something, I don't think a single person should override that decision, especially since it will also create a huge distraction for town.
