This is what mafia are comfortable doing, not random lynching. This is just flat out wrong. You have no what faction pushed CR's lynch in Noire, and therefore you cannot be sure that's what scum will do. I was basically pushing FT's lynch (since I didn't want CR lynched) in Noire D1 but I flipped town. Most of the time, D1 lynches are an absolute crapshoot, and/or between two townies so scum can just rest on their laurels. | ||

A lot less thought put into what essentially amounts to an 'easy' read with no real stance taken. Similar to VE's, yet different. VE chose to actually try to read me and my actions while Grack simply looked into the last post I made in a thread he was reading that seems to corroborate what isn't even a read. I don't know, call it a gut thing but even though I don't necessarily like either's reaction to my post, I like Grack's a LOT less. That's because it wasn't a read. people were saying were being insincere and from reading your posts last game I am saying it's probably not that important. | ||

Regardless, we both know I'm horrid as mafia, so this shouldn't be a concern for long. | ||

Hmm I think I this went differently in my head. I suppose it wasn't exactly a lie, no, and you have been pushing for the RNG since. I'm not sure why you bothered explaining that you were trolling about Palmar, but whatever. Why did you explain the reasoning for your shot on me last game?

I explain because people like you/koshi are calling it a contradiction and questioning me on it Palmar is probably town just from the post where he called me an asshole, it felt genuine. | ||

This is where I'm sadly going to have to disagree with you. I'm not even sure I understand what Palmar being town even has to do with you answer. I fully support an RNG lynch today, given there is some fair and unbiased way of doing it. I have never taken this position before in any game and I have flat-out disagreed with it before, but call it a tactical choice or the straw the broke the camel's back, I think it is the best option. Statistically it clearly makes sense, that is a given. All of the detractors of the idea are basically putting town's ability to root out and find scum above statistics. This is a fair point given a balanced game full of participants. Sadly, much like every game on TL, this will not be happening. VE and I were having a discussion yesterday about how this game is 'stacked' and should go theoretically for town. I stated 'Well why is town in Noire losing so badly? Many of the same people are playing in there, and even if they're not all town, all of the strong players in their surely can't all be scum!" He stated it's because of all of the other....chaff in there bringing down the atmosphere, shitposting, and making bad plays. I didn't disagree with him. The issue is I can't say for certain I see a difference in this game despite the size difference lessening the background noise. (VE and/or BH feel free to correct any of the above if I am misrepresenting the way you think the conversation went down.) I have completely lost all faith in TL towns. I am obviously not good enough to carry a town myself, even if I don't get shot N1 and as such sionce I can't put the entire towngame on myself, and I can't rely on the rest of town to do it, I do the next best thing and resort to RNG to start us off. Thoughts and comments welcome. | ||

I consider this a real topic of discussion now and want everyone to assent or deny lynching via RNG. | ||

And also it shows that nobody has the balls to actually push a dude for lynching. Honestly, I dont see how there are associative tells related to that. If Im scum, I just say YES RNG LYNCH. and if it ends up on my scumbuddy, oh well, SUPPORT IT 100%. Unless you have a followup like, RNG a dude then discuss then decide. But in a 19 player game, that could get real messy really fast. | ||

First thoughts sense reading the thread, I would like to hear more from ShiaoPi, and VA. Both are giving off a "nothing to see here" vibe so far. Lets hear something more substantial please. Yamato, VE, and Grackaroni, you guys just keep doing your thing. | ||

2) Random lynching isn't just bad because town could do better, it's also bad because it essentially wastes 48 hours of town's time on a lynch that no one had to take any stance on or push, and gives no valuable leads like vote counts, vote posts, and vote reasonings. Even if we lynch scum with this method, it means very little. Even if we lynch town on a normal day 1 lynch, it can mean a lot. There's no reason to random lynch, even if statistics is in favor. It's a pro-mafia move. That's why I've been shitting on the idea since the game started and why my vote sits on grack, yet now I see you espousing the same sentiment? I'm willing to excuse this on the fact that you're butthurt because you've played in a string of bad towns, but seriously, this is shit that should be policy lynched. You've lost anything you gained by being suspicious of grack by echoing the same stupid sentiment. | ||
