merk and Crazy Eyes are the vote leaders, it's twelve hours until deadline and the thread is pretty quiet. I'm fine trying to push for a different lynch candidate because I'm not nuts about either of those two, but it's probably not going to happen. Which of those two would you vote?

Just so it doesn't look like I'm trying to slip through I am totally ok with my vote on CE. Especially over merk as I do not think he's scum here.

dorkanoid, it seems like you've read some of the thread, but I'm not sure how much. If you have time today, obviously read the whole thing, but if you're going to be limited I'd suggest sticking to one of them two and catching up during night. We're about 12 hours from deadline.

Having re-read them, I'm fine with my vote on CE. If momentum starts to shift elsewhere I'll go read what I need to to make an opinion but I have a hard time believe the lynch is not going to be one of those two at this point.

I always advocate that if people are going to claim, then they need to claim with as much distance away from deadline as possible. After a few recent games, I'm no longer claiming on day 1 unless my role PM, by itself, has some important information for the Town.

It almost read like a threat. Like you have information, but if you get lynched the town can go gently caress itself.

A role claim by itself should not sway anyone's vote in any direction, so I'm no longer claiming on day 1. It's the 'soru strategy'.

I'm struggling to see what kind of info you could get in a role PM that's beneficial to town besides a role claim. It's not like it's going to give you a numbered list of the scum team. Perhaps this is just cause I haven't played enough games to ever see it. Can you give me an example, merk?

There are some roles that give you information about the setup in your role PM. They are usually reserved for big games, like in my Harry Potter game with Token Female we had items that wouldn't be flipped with you but may provide information about the setup that helps Town (i.e. the fact that the setup has items).

I'm trying to change the culture where we get claims on day 1 that influence the lynch - I'd much rather a day 1 lynch be based on a mix of content and gut, rather than have people get sheepish when they see some claim (this is not a soft claim that I'm a power role). It's a general mafia thing that isn't really worth talking about more than me saying that I'm not going to claim.

No I'm voting you now because you're being a huge goddamn weirdo and you're not playing mafia, which is scummy.

Winvirus is scum too and you should vote him. You should be fighting to lynch anyone besides yourself rather than trying to change the culture of mafia. I'm voting him using this radical new approach that is based on a mix of content and gut. What do you think?

No it isn't! You're just trying to change the state of play by making this a discussion about Mafia Theory rather than making a persuasive argument about who would be a better lynch. That is scummy!
