How isn't that what he said? He said that if a lynch looks too easy it's probably a bad lynch. Isn't that just like saying those who are obviously scummy are probably not?

Okay, that was kinda lost in the void there...
So you're down with a Palmar lynch. Could I interest you in a Palmar VOTE while you wait?

no, it means fast bandwagons with no resistance are often town. This in no way equates to "we should not call out the guy who is obviously scummy".

Could he be talking about the phenomenon of wagons not having any resistance when it's on a townie?
I think that's probably what he's referring to Shady...correct me if I'm wrong Obvious.

Fair enough, I'll admit that is often the case.

Man if we all establish our innocence together here, scum are going to have a really hard time. You're all innocent right? I'm not talking to a bunch of SCUMBAGS?

AND WHERE THE FUCK IS JANGALANG?!

I can't believe people are taking the random lynch thing seriously. Actually to be completely honest it feels like the people I recognize aren't taking it seriously but are goading on the ones I don't know who are. The suggestion felt to me initially like palmar was just juicing the thread. I can't believe he actually thinks it's good.

He has a longstanding tradition of proposing it regardless of alignment. He'll tell us his alignment soon talis, don't worry.

It's probably the exception that proves the rule, but in newbie xxiii there was a super bandwagon at the end of d1 that basically won the game for town.
I think the context had a lot todo with that... Mafia were lurking pretty hard, so townies were able to coordinate riiiiit at the end of the day, so the bandwagon was incredibly sudden and mafia were not able to react well.

I swear I don't remember it from pick your power redux though. He feels it's strong? Or does he do it as a dumb trap or something, which is how I initially read it.

Well, Hapa's nothing to scoff at Lvdr - I take it you learned a valuable lesson that game?

I sure did. Never to trust a quicktopic thread again.

That's a mystery you'll have to take up with Palmar. He does it as a reaction to the game starting generally, and his purpose varies with game. Suffice to say he'll go through with it if we decide to do it, but no town ever has ever. I think, anyway.

Pretty much all the hosts use QT...but pretty much all the hosts create them as hidden, too. :/
Yeah, that was a bad experience. I had a similar one in a concurrent game *glare talis*

Hey people I don't know: who are you and how you play?
I don't follow the newbie games but it seems like you all know each other. Gimme your meta thoughts on each other. Right now I only really have a sense for how VE and marv play out of everyone in this game.

Are you asking for everyone's filters from prior games?

He wants your thoughts on your peers - how do they play, how is their skill level. He wants you to analyze them as players for the good of the town.
