I don't see how discussing time zones or activity times is gonna bring us anywhere. just check the timezone of everyone and note it down, I'm even gonna help with you that (because I already made it for myself):
1) ShiaoPi (Taiwan)
2) Bluelightz (Indonesia)
3) iamperfection (US)
4) austinmcc (US)
5) strongandbig (US)
6) Ottoxlol (Unknown)
7) thrawn2112 (US)
8) Sinensis (US)
9) Phagga (Switzerland)
Further discussing this topic only gives scum the possibility to appear active without contributing.

I agree with Sinensis that Boxers should not claim early. Boxers claiming only gives good targets to scum (as Sinensis explained), gives scum more knowledge about the setup and gives town the amount of blues with powers, which is all bad. Town should not rely on blues to scum hunt anyway, so not knowing if there are any blues to help is preferable.

The bolded part is a good setup for scum to hammer a townie without warning. Are you scum, austin? Nope. Moreover it's equally useful for a townie to hammer a scum without warning? A townie to hammer a townie? I don't know everyone's scum play here, but I'd imagine we have a few who blend in and try not to stick out. Hammering someone makes you stick out. Hammering someone with no warning whatsoever makes you stick out. If scum want to stick out and be visible, I don't have a problem with that.
Are you actually worried about scum hammering townies without warning? Do you think it likely that townies would hammer someone without warning?

Well that was a quick read.
Some thoughts in no particular order first:
-random lynch is stupid. no need to discuss it imo
-it should be clear that if there is only one vote left to hammering someone, you should first off really think through the situation and then give appropiate reasons for the hammer. So please refrain from just sheeping in this instant majority lynch setup.
-I do not like the idea of boxer claiming day 1, and in no way does it confirm him as he could be counterclaimed by scum/boxer/crazy townie or there could be no boxer in the setup anyway. If there is a boxer claim it should be saved until it is of some real use (e.g. lylo stuff)
Now some directed stuff:
@SnB: Why did you suggest random lynch? I do not want to hear why Palmar does it in whatever other game he played. I am interested in your arguments.
@austin: There was no Boxer in GSL1, if I recall correctly it was the doc, parity cop setup.
@phagga: I don't like your opening post.

you complain about lack of activity in this game, while having been inactive as well. You also jump on another person who has done nothing until then. The post is pretty much devoid of any meaning, besides opposition to random lynches. Nothing that screams scum right now, but still worthy to take a note of.

Yes and Yes.
I would not be surprised if a townie cluelessly hammers another townie without warning. Worse stuff has happened in the History of TL Mafia. And if a townie can do it, scum can too, they will just look for a good excuse.

I wrote pregame I would be inactive the first 9 hours due to sleep, which is pretty much how long I was inactive.
I frequently point out people who are not active, you can find this in any of my older games. It's a habit I have developed to make people aware that someone has been inactive for a longer time. I also like it as a reminder when scumhunting to see if the person has had several periods of long inactivity and what that could mean in the context of the game/thread.

Why is everyone talking about useless shit such as timezones?
If someone hammers another player without warning then what is a legitimate response? What reasonable punishment could you put in place to stop people from doing it? I say it's not too big of a deal. If someone hammers a player then we can speculate as to the legitimacy of their motivations afterwards. However if you're smart then don't fucking do it (hammer a player) unless you've got some badass fucking read that you have absolutely 0 doubts at all about. So in other words, don't fucking do it.

everyone? Looked like austin and phagga to me. no one else.
Also it is useful to keep timezones in mind, no need to rage at someone not answering your question if he is asleep.

yeah but I'd assume that goes without saying

I'm EU, but on somewhat closer to us sleeping schedule fyi. I think we should give reasonable time for discussion to flow before lynching, we have 72 hours, fast lynching mostly favors scum in the beginning imo.

Why would scum freak out with random lynch? Sorry if I interpret random lynch in a different way, but that would give them a free pass to vote without any reasoning.

Why would a Boxer claim be any good for town atm?

I don't think it would atm. I didn't advocate a D1 claim. It's not an IC role since there's no mod-confirmation, but I hope that if we've got a boxer it's not something that gets claimed only in case of mislynch. Depending on how our lynches go, there's some value to just claiming it D2 or D3 and giving us a little insight into the setup, a possible confirmed townie, etc.
Before anyone says Boxer claims give scum insight into the setup, they already have way more than we do. They know whether or not they have an RB, so for scum, this setup is a random role between only TWO options (either the two RB options or the two non-RB options). Town has no knowledge like that at this point.

@Thrawn,
Why are you complaining that people are discussing about useless stuff while you proposed an equally useless random lynch argument?

But what you can do is, if you can get a little momentum going for a random lynch, it freaks scum the fuck out if they don't know what's going on. They know that unless they fuck up, there is little chance for them to get lynched normally on day 1. The information advantage and the ability for their teammates to push other bandwagons guarantee that. So when they think a random lynch might actually happen, they start to behave weirdly and you can pick that out.

I can't pin down later to a specific moment but I think if/when Boxer claims it should accomplish something significant. Something more significant than just having a confirmed townie. Once everyone knows who Boxer is it's very unlikely we'll be able to save him; there is only one possible setup with both Boxer AND medic. An example of a good time for Boxer to claim would be if several people were voting him and it is close to majority lynch; he can claim to help prove his innocence.

We've got 9 players. We've got a couple different timezones represented. We can't be waiting for someone to have hammer-1 votes and then ask them to pick things up at that point. The time zone thing is really going to affect our ability to build votes on players and find a time where the majority of thread could even be around to hear someone try and defend themselves.
"Random lynch still dumb." While I disagree with a random lynch, it is how it's presented that I have a problem with. He just says it's "dumb." Not why it's dumb or better why -he- thinks it's dumb. Just dumb. This is not indicative of alignment and I think it's dodgy.
He goes on to say that hammering someone makes you stick out, and since it makes you stick out scum wouldn't do it. This is "too scummy to be scum" reasoning and is wrong. Under no circumstances should someone town aligned be advocating hammering, and he says he has -no problem with it-. All it does is cut discussion short every time. This is the biggest red flag to me.
I don't think it would atm. I didn't advocate a D1 claim. It's not an IC role since there's no mod-confirmation, but I hope that if we've got a boxer it's not something that gets claimed only in case of mislynch. ++++Depending on how our lynches go, there's some value to just claiming it D2 or D3 and giving us a little insight into the setup, a possible confirmed townie, etc.++++
Before anyone says Boxer claims give scum insight into the setup, they already have way more than we do. They know whether or not they have an RB, so for scum, this setup is a random role between only TWO options (either the two RB options or the two non-RB options). Town has no knowledge like that at this point.
This is the other post I got a red flag from and that's because I personally don't believe it's worth it for Boxer to claim D2 or D3 for no reason. Hypothetical situations if Boxer claims:
The best that could happen is that we luckily have a medic, Boxer is safe, and there is no role blocker leaving us with a confirmed townie; there is a 33% chance of this outcome. The other possibility is that there isn't a medic and Boxer(s) are vulnerable; there is a 66% chance of this outcome.
All things considered I think if Boxer is among us he needs to stay anonymous until he can save himself/someone else by claiming.
