you don't think there's anything in Oats response at all? Like, if it was a joke, oats reaction is nonsensical.

he was trying to play it off like a joke and failing

wait so you acutally think he posted in the thread instead of in the scumqt... that would be a pretty hard mistake to make imo.

@grack, nah bro I didn't read that game yet. sorry!

Alternatively, I think that that kind of joke wouldn't occur to a townie, whereas the existence of the scum QT weighs heavily on the mind of the scum. Kind of how a guy tells a joke about raping animals you don't leave him alone with your dog even though you know he was joking.

Fine, here's a specific THOUGHT PROCESS that would occur
Zealos slips.
Oats, noticing it, laughs to imply it was a joke, and as such trying to make it seem like it was intentional by zealos.

That's what I've tried to communciate :|

alternative:

zealos tells joke
oats, notices it, and freaks out, thinking zealos has slipped, and laughs weirdly trying to make joke

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
BEFORE YOU TELL HIM GOODBYE

AND THERE ARE VOICES
THAT WANT TO BE HEARD
SO MUCH TO MENTION
BUT YOU CAN'T FIND THE WORDS
THE SCENT OF MAGIC
THE BEAUTY THAT'S BEEN
WHEN LOVE WAS WILDER THAN THE WIND

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
WHEN HE'S CALLING FOR YOU
LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE YOU CAN DO

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY
BUT LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
BEFORE YOU TELL HIM GOODBYE
LISTEN TO YOUR HEART, MMM, MMMMMM

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY
BUT LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
BEFORE YOU TELL HIM GOODBYE

Look okay being serious here for a moment.

When you look back on games, there are plays that get nominated for the yearly Mafia Awards. Plays like claims, or votes, or cases, or best teams, or whatever. There are even categories for boring stuff like "Best Policy Lynch"-- all these is fine and good.

I tell you three times, I tell you now that if you lynch me today, there is no way you will make it into the TL Mafia Awards for this year for the play you make today. You know what's a big play? Not lynching me. Not lynching the guy you are 95% sure is the Survivor. What would be a HYOOOOJ play would be lynching zealos and hitting scum.

Players will look back and say "here is a group of players, a town who could have been suckered into not lynching scum 2 days in a row, but got its shit together" and will start to think of you as vets. This will be one of those "plays" that people will point to and write post game analysis about whether or not it's a good idea to lynch based on setup speculation.

This would be a Big Play. It might not be the safest play, or the most policy play, to lynch Zealos. But damn it, we all know that Zealos is the most likely guy to flip scum. If it weren't for policy, you wouldn't be lynching me, you'd be lynching Zealos.

I can't necessarily say that I'd not policy lynch me if I was you. But I will say this:

You don't get a lot of chances to be legendary. Glory is never thrust upon you, it is only seized.

Vote Zealos: be glorious.

Lmao this is too good. TBH I think i'd do it for the "lol what a retard town was" value much like all the hilarious stories from the TL Mafia Quiz thread I was mentioning.

But no. It simply can't be right. Especially since there's a real chance you are scum. I suppose it shouldn't matter what order we lynch in (zealos -> you or you -> zealos) but the certainty factor is much higher here.

I understand your caution. I can't appeal to a sense of cautious logic in my statement here. I'm saying: If it doesn't matter what order you lynch in, why not start in the way that is badass as fuck? Why not lynch Zealos, and take the step between the real and the mythic? This a chance to be a hero and not a peon. They don't come often. Any REAL big play, anything that's really appreciated post facto, will FEEL hard. If it were easy, it wouldn't be a big play. If it were cautious, it wouldn't be a big play.

Town tomorrow will probably be where towns always are in TL Mafia games: out of information at in LYLO/MYLO. The mixture of weak spam and lurking will still be there, the malaise that has fallen over this town will only grow. What happens with a Zealos lynch, though? A lynch that is almost certainly hitting scum and NOT 3p? What happens is, we have a chance to boost morale. A chance to change this from a game of cringing cautious cost-counting penny-pinchers into a game of HEROES. A game that we can smile about later, a game to boast about. A lynch that afterwards people will think "how did they know? how did they pull it off?"

I can't offer you a chance to do something safe. You have that chance, to be safe, to be boring, and probably to have a dull, monotonous loss (or drawn out victory)

I'm offering you a chance for something more.

Well, at least I got two people to vote alongside me. I think I still get lynched today though, we'll need more than just the three of us to do this.
