Awesome. I have outdone myself.
Why is lynching a lurker with a big possibility of being town better than trying our very best to find scum?
He is not merely a lurker. He is a lurker whose posts have been full of terrible sheep votes and other scummy nonsense. This case has been made; I have nothing to add to the former case (IDR who made it) because HS' contributions since then have been nonexistent.
He clearly quit the game, prolly not because he was one of the "mafs", but because this is a Large Normal.
Or he quit the game because he was scum who could not handle the pressure.
I didn't do the meta on him, but I'm under the impression people said this was his first out of Newbton?
Then maybe you should do your research before asserting that you know HS' motivations.
If that is the case, he most probably got scared at the amount of people and the amount of trashtalk and pages and so on. That's my read on him. Voting him to put pressure on him is OK. Actively pushing ANOTHER PL will prolly result in another dead townie and therefore giving more advantages to all the other anti-town factions, if there are more than one (which seems highly likely).
It is not a PL. His lynch is completely justified both for his posting and his scummy disappearance, which, being part of the game, is allowed to be placed under scrutiny.
I remember you hammered Clusk - also a lurker. I did a quick ISO on you and I remember that you were pretty insistent on lynching one of the lurkers, HS or Clusk. You had no problem hammering Clusk. You have no problem hammering HS. They might very well be Town, but you don't care.
I did not hammer Clusk. Re-read the thread.
I have no problem lynching lurkers at all. If every single lurker ever were town, I would certainly avoid that policy. Since that is not the case, I see no reason to let players who are active enough to avoid replacement but completely vacuous in their contributions to live. HS is a great lynch; no one else is scummier. I see no reason to avoid what I believe is the lynch most likely to be on scum simply because the target happens to be a victim.
If you remember, I voted Clusk but wanted HS dead yesterday. This is not a PL; your assertion that it is is simply erroneous. If HS had been lynched yesterday, we would not be having this conversation and we would almost certainly be one scum down.
And these ones, in which you push a lynch that "might be two town wagons"...:

What is there to explain? The two wagons could both be on town. It is technically possible, although I do not think it is the case.

The only way you could believe that is if you have not been reading this thread.
