First thing's first:
ExtendFor all that, though, my vote right now is BlackHeartKabal:
You're practically lurking, or should I say lurking practically? Policy lynching the miller is an easy way to appear present without committing yourself to personal interaction.
I just said that I see potentially scummy things in TricMagic's posts. Can you persuade me that they really are scummy, enough so to get me to change my vote?
So, a D1 Miller claim being, as you admitted, a policy lynch isn't enough for you? Then no persuading on my end would convince me to lynch what comes off as your partner here anyway. I don't see any other reason someone, from your position, would ignore that.
Well then, BHK makes a point. You will die at some point, the earlier the better.
However, D1 lynch, in my opinion, needs to be informative. The only information we get from lynching TricMagic is whether or not he was lying. Not good enough.
If we have a vigilante or something, they can shoot him. If he’s alive tomorrow, we lynch him then.
Here I was thinking that this would be more open and shut. It's a miller. The entire point of a miller is that their quality impedes the town by giving a false positive to mechanical investigations. Because of this, miller is an amazing claim for scum because it, again, gives them an impenetrable excuse for their alignment flickering red to any cop that happens to stop by.
If he's scum - investigate pops red.
If he's miller - investigate pops red.
You see how that works? We literally can't confirm what they are unless we kill them or the game ends, because of the uncertainty that being a miller forces. They're an anomaly, and they're the most dangerous anomaly to leave alive for the end, especially since we don't even have a confirmation of the number of mafia or thirds.
I'm not one for D1's chaos, so of course something as important to pursue as a miller claim would be important to me. Because that miller offers certainty. It's certainty of uncertainty, yes, but it's still certainty. It's outright the most optimal move for anyone with a town wincon to make. To the point that I believe that anyone not pursuing this is either not thinking optimally, or doesn't have a town wincon. If I have to die for the town to start putting the miller and their defenders to the wall, then very well. Just because we aren't taking the current best plan doesn't mean we can't take the best plan for the next change in situation.
I'm inclined to agree with the fact that the uncertainty that a miller claim brings up is a bad thing. However, I'd also have to agree with IcyTea in that it shouldn't be our only focus. Especially with an extend upcoming we should have ample opportunity to pursue other people besides Tric.
Tricmagic:
I'm going to sit back and watch for now. Lets see where this goes.
Last time I checked, sitting back and watching was scummy. Not an accusation, just a thought.
You've been gone far too long moony. Give us your list at least.
Where's your reads list? You're asking Moony for his reads, but I don't see you coming up with your own.
Moony:

Sitting back and watching isn't a good idea, you should ask people questions, try to generate some content, maybe get some reads.
So what are your thoughts on BHK's asssertion that we should lynch Tric day 1? Do you think it has any merit?
IcyTea: I didn't say he needed a good reason, I said he needed a better reason. Just putting a vote on someone who already has a vote for no real reason is not a very town thing to do.
Maximum Spin:
I might as well admit that I do kinda think something is off about juicebox. Maybe he's an SK or mafia-ally, actually. Or maybe BHK is. I don't like to overcommit at this early stage. I'll reflect on this as I continue to write before voting, I think.
This is interesting, considering I've only made two posts up to this point. Would you be willing to share what exactly seems off? Also, do you have any evidence against Starver other than your intuition?
Mightymouse: I would like to point out that my vote on Tric was just a reaction vote. I didn't actually suspect him at that point, I just voted him to see how he would respond. Also, I'm leaving my vote on him because some of the things he's done since I've voted him have been suspicious
Right now, I hae a townread on mightymouse, hector, Starver, Max, and IcyTea. All of them are trying to generate some discussion and start to scumhunt. Everybody else except Tric is a null read for me.
