Same.

According to the A.V. Club, that scene was to highlight humanity's inherently violent nature, that we must keep at bay through our higher reasoning and logic.

Maybe Tremendous Taste is right after all?

Nah, I'm sure there is scum. I just feel bad about being a part of the group that lynched our doctor. That said, avoiding a no-hang is likely for the best, and no real targets emerged other than Jake, and I'll acknowledge that the case on him was flimsy at best. Flimsy, though, is better than nothing.

Like, really. This is a horrible post. Feigned sadness, while trying to paint it in a good like on the other hand, while not actually using the info from the merk to further another case.

There was another, drat good, target in Asiina, she was at -2 and entirely plausible.

And then distancing himself from the merk in the next breath.

Dude is scummy.
Strike that.

Dude is scum.

If I am alive tomorrow, there will be a vote on Meinberg that will be very unlikely to move for the duration.

the fact that there is a doctor implies that a killing role exists. I'm willing to crack on the no-scum theory but if you've got a town vig I'd ask you to hold it.

If there was actually a mod error you've already exploited it by mentioning it at all, so you might as well go all out.

There are plenty of reasons for no kill last night, even with a dead doctor. Jumping to the conclusion that there is no scum. Especially with only 1 point of evidence, is silly. Stop being silly.

It could be poison, could be a BP was de-BP'd. Could be a roleblocked kill. It could be a withheld kill. What do we have to gain by no-hanging at this point in the game? Even if this is a game about not destroying an old lady's mind, we can wait for a couple more missing night kills to come to that conclusion.

In summary, don't be dumb. Especially when Meinberg is scum.

##vote no murk

How is withholding our only way to combat the scum a good idea? How do you propose we win this game, or get any useful information if we sit on our asses all day. I guess if there is an investigative role (that isn't tracker or watcher because everyone is sitting at home with their fingers up their assess), we could eventually get something. But something has to move the state of the game forward.

I have a friend who plays games like this. He claims a win if the other party concedes. So he will start a game of chess with someone, if he is losing he pulls out an apple and eats it slowly. Ponderously slowly. Eventually it is no longer fun and you concede.
The end result is noone plays games with him anymore.

That is what you are suggesting TT, and agreeing with Juanito. Sucking the fun out of the internet party game, by, when given options on what to do, you lie there like a dead fish.

I don't think a no-merk is such a bad thing.. we don't have to do it forever. But why not survive while we can. I'm sure there are people doing night ~actions~ so there will probably be useful information.

I really don't mind voting Meinberg, but since nobody has died, he doesn't seem like a big threat.

##vote meinberg now, I am dubious regarding no-scum and last night's no kill hasn't done anything to dissuade me of that.

Juanito you say meimberg isn't a threat, but how can you tell? Reads like you're trying to deflect votes off a scumbro

They are a threat long term though, even if they didn't do anything this round for one reason or another.

Yeah, my thought is that there are night actions happening.. probably someone investigating people. So people will probably be cleared. But I'm okay voting scum.

But if Meinberg flips town cop...

THis is a 9 player game.
A doc already flipped.
There are likely only 0-2 more town power roles probably no more than 1 of which would be investigative.
At worst, there is a 25% chance of hitting a power role. The same as the chance of hitting scum. That should not dissuade you from placing a vote.

This is the OP currently.

I've been a willing pawn in Ecco's experiments too many times to trust him in a game revolving around dementia. :colbert:

So we vote Meinberg. What if he flips town? What's the plan if there is no nightkill again?
