I don't care about your expectations, but if ANYONE doesn't have a good case behind their vote (either for a policy lynch of a scum lynch) then they should be lynched posthaste. | ||

I thought a policy lynch was when you lynch someone for a reason unrelated to "I think this person is scum" such as "I lynch anyone who lies" "I lynch anyone who makes fewer than 3 posts per in-game day" or "I think this guy is a moron so I lynch him every game I play with him" | ||

I explained why I like a policy lynch, not much more I can do i guess. I don't see the problem with posting a lot if they say something, if i put it all in the same post its still the same amount of reading. | ||

People are not automatons that play every single game as a particular alignment in the exact same fashion. Stupid question too, doesn't pressure him even if he is mafia. I've never seen a policy lynch work on TL, not even LAL because town players here lie so often and my perspective is that TL towns are fairly gullible in general. On February 21 2012 07:24 redFF wrote: I disagree, I think a policy lynch day 1 does a number of useful things. I will lay them out. Day 1 is the hardest day to get a scumlynch, as town has the least information available to it. A policy lynch means not possibly mislynching a strong town player. Policy lynches and the reactions to them are very useful. They get lots of juicy reactions. We get rid of a bad. Honestly the chance of a policy lynch hitting scum is about as good as hitting scum from a flimsy day 1 case. We also don't lynch radfield the blue day 1, but thats similar to my only point regarding getting rid of a bad. Day 1 is usually somewhat of a crapshoot in 48/24 games. Policy lynches are good, embrace them. There have been good Day 1 cases on multiple occasions. On Day 1 in the ongoing Arkham City game both VisceraEyes/Sheth got pretty close to the chopping block. "Bad" is a subjective term as well, who decides whether a player is good or bad? The "town"? You might as well pick a random amount of "bad" inactives and just RNG the lynch, what a waste of a Day 1 discussion. Putting votes on inactive townies/policy lynches generates almost no real pressure on a player over whether or not they are scum but only creates arguments over whether or not a policy lynch is justified. Mafia is designed so that the town can still win fairly easily even if they mislynch on the first day. It is not designed to make it impossible to lynch scum on first day or so that people will not try. You get better discussion out of people making, or being forced to make, real cases on people. When mafia have to make bad analysis, they get exposed. You don't have to policy lynch to avoid lynching "blue radfield" or anything like that either. | ||

I'm in favor of a Policy Lynch if and only if we're unable to reasonably come up with a scum lynch candidate by the middle of D1. This is very unlikely, as everyone has their opinion of what constitutes scummy behavior and there will likely be several candidates put forth in the effort to lynch actual scum. Re: VI Tyran I'm a proponent of "innocent until proven guilty". If Tyran becomes a problem, and no clear scum candidate emerges, I can feasibly get down on a Tyran lynch...in the meantime, I won't support a lynch of Tyran for the reason of "you know, it's Tyran."...I have deep-seeded problems with Palmar for this very thing. All it does is introduce negative feelings into the game and drive away players. It's dumb. Like, you can play to win without doing it at the expense of others. Re: Spammy RedFF Never fails to live up to expectations. Red you really don't have to comment on every little thing with a 1-liner response. My PL on you stands until I get a scum-read on someone.

There are points where a player is so useless and terrible that they are objectively bad.Putting votes on inactive townies/policy lynches generates almost no real pressure on a player over whether or not they are scum but only creates arguments over whether or not a policy lynch is justified. It creates early day 1 discussion, something I think it has done this game, so that's one good thing. It also forces the person to post and post constructively, something they may not do otherwise. It doesn't only create arguments about whether a policy lynch is justified, it creates discussion about different things, as we have already seen. Mafia is designed so that the town can still win fairly easily even if they mislynch on the first day. Yes it is, so why not get rid of dead weight. It is not designed to make it impossible to lynch scum on first day or so that people will not try. I don't disagree, a policy lynch is simply a suggestion. You get better discussion out of people making, or being forced to make, real cases on people. When mafia have to make bad analysis, they get exposed. No shit, policy lynching doesn't FORCE EVERYONE TO STOP ANALYSING. You don't have to policy lynch to avoid lynching "blue radfield" or anything like that either. yes but it helps.Re: Spammy RedFF Never fails to live up to expectations.

The fact that you're so vocal about this Policy Lynch discussion tells me that you're trying to hollowly contribute to the thread, because a VI Policy Lynch, no matter how you slice it, isn't designed to lynch scum. And no matter how much you say "it generates discussion", when that's all you're discussing, it doesn't add anything constructive to the thread either. Therefor, I'm upgrading you from a Spam Policy Lynch to a full-fledged Scum Lynch. Congratulations RedFF. Now die. | ||

Policy lynching because of a single bad game is complete and utter bullshit. If we start doing that we're not done policy-lynching for the next couple weeks. Heck, I shot 3 townies, want to policy lynch me as well because of that and ignore the other 6 games I did? If this guy shows up and changes his attitude he is fine imo. If he 's not he's getting lynched if there's noone else screaming mafia. | ||

PEOPLE PEOPLE The game has been going on for an hour, my suggestion of a policy lynch does not mean I don't want anyone to scumhunt. It's an excellent way to generate discussion, which it has. VE's post is hypocritical because he's calling me scum for pushing a policy lynch when he himself was pushing a policy lynch up until that post, when it arbitrarily became a scum lynch. Consider him my first moderately scummy read. | ||
