I invented the turbo lynch but Ben Franklin took credit for it.

Normally I'd be all for a turbo on me, but I must request that you not do so.

You might ask, "who is this guy and why does he think his survival is so important? He must be scum!"

And, again normally, I'd agree with you. But there are additional details at play here! For you see, one amongst you... wishes to see me dead. Not for the sake of town or even scum, but as part of some nefarious third party, whose sole purpose is to see to my death. Do we wish for such a nefarious villain to continue to dwell amidst our number? Or shall we root him out like a shepherd beating at the rushes to scare out the snakes?

Do not let this man corrupt the noble game we have before us. Do not give in to your base desire to see me dead. Instead, let us remove this killer, one way or another.

I feel like you haven't thought this all the way through. Lynching someone for being a Lyncher is almost as bad as lynching the lynchee. It takes up a lynch and gives us no real information about any of the people joining the lynch. Plus, there are 3 likely Lynchers at this point, so unless the lyncher claims we're likely to get the wrong one and have to repeat this whole fruitless endeavor tomorrow. If we're going to address the Lyncher situation, it will be by lynching you and being done with it.

Those last few words don't make any sense. Unless you bought into Eccoraven's bullshit distinctions between 'scum' and 'mafia', which are shite. There's scum and then there's third party, they're not the same fuckin thing.

Joke vote combined with weirdly phrased attempt at content suggesting there exists multiple lynchers for no reason. Puts me on edge to see folks bandying about third party talk so freely. I don't like the look of it one iota, no siree.

I have never played with this feller what who claims someone is trying to get him killed (he didn't say lynch, someone else suggested that specific scenario). It seems overly stupid for someone, who is trying to avoid a specific payer from killing them, to draw such attention in this way. Makes their job too daggum easy! There are much better ways to say what he meant. There be more to this than meets the eye.

I decided to make a joke, but then saw something worth actually commenting on. Oh, and I have no idea where you're getting that multiple lyncher idea from. I was saying that one of the people voting Mein was the likely lyncher, but lynching Mein definitely solves the problem while lynching one of those three might result in us lynching someone other than the actual lyncher. That was based on the idea that the lyncher knew Mein's name though. I agree that it's probably best to just ignore the whole 3rd Party angle though and focus on whether people are actually being Scummy.
