Also Max, who will you be voting for once you’ve heard from Tric? Is Tric’s response going to have enough of an impact that you’re going to change your mind?

Well… there’s usually more than one scum in a game. I think it works well as tracking someone’s intent. If they vote for someone, FoS a second person, then move their vote from the first person to the third person you can poke them for it.

This is a good start.

Why am I suspicious? You won’t get anybody to go along with you if you can’t justify it.

Do you think there’s anyone you can trust right now?

I am a good lynch because I’ve done a lot, and people this have quite a bit to go on for the future.

I would genuinely rather that than no lynch.

@Snowkiller you don’t know who is sus, a’ight.

What kind of thing would you consider sus? How would you go about finding these things?

It's not an unsound argument, and if you genuinely have no clue, it can indeed be safer to wait for the mafia to give us a hint in the form of a dead body. On the other hand, they could just no-kill and leave you in D1 Again, the D1ening. Still, if I really felt that I had no clue, I'd agree with you. But do you really think you have no clue?

One thing about the clue the scum give is that it’s going to benefit them more than it benefits town, guaranteed. Don’t give them the impetus by letting them drip feed us what they want us to know.

You gotta break some eggs to make an omelette, man. Eliminated townies still win with the rest of us, so you can’t be worrying about hitting them with an elimination.

It's more about our collective ability to win rather than innocent individuals dying.  Every lynched townie is one less vote for the mafia and, once again, possibly one less special role working its night shift!

While the town outman the scum, we can still win the game. I mean, that’s kind of the scum’s wincon. Eliminated townies still give us information, even on D1. We can examine who they pressured, who they thought were town, who was pressuring them, who thought they were town or scum, and that helps us figure out who to trust and who not to.

Regardless, it’ll happen whether you want it to or not. The experienced players outweigh the newer ones, and they’re not going to want a no lynch. You’re going to have to pick a side eventually, might as well get that ball rolling now.

Just seeing if you were paying attention

They both generate lots of low-value (to reads, not entertainment) text. I assumed that was your reason for hating RVS and thought you would dislike excessive joking for the same reason; am I wrong?

I get a lot of value out of banter, as do other people here. Games have been won based mainly on banter.
I hate RVS for being ineffectual.

I dunno man. Banter can be useful to see how freaked someone is about being found out, but… well, once certain conditions are met, it becomes a bit ineffectual too.

RVS just takes ages sometimes. You just need to find ways of getting out of it quickly. At least as town, anyway.
