ugh..ok..caught up to page 9
Unvote
couple of things...
i also see the best option for the "Choosing" to be used, is as a second lynch...it makes no sense to try and suicide a townie (even VT) in hopes they hit scum..the whole point IS to hit scum the first time. WE (as a collective town) are making the first choice TO KILL SCUM...it would be a little redundant for us to say "hey, we think Player A is scum, so let's get a townie to suicide vig him.." Shouldn't we just vote Player A in the first place? This way, town "directs the vig shot" in a sense (by voting for who they thought were scum)...and if we are wrong...well then our "Chosen" gets to try and succeed where we failed.

I disagree…taking out scum should be our first priority..if we lynch scum, we’ve killed scum…
In post 36, Plessiezarus wrote:I beg to disagree? Giving a potential scum a strongman kill sounds like an extremely bad idea. You'd be basically giving them an unstoppable freebie for signing off plus their factional kill.
But in this scenario we have already KILLED scum, rather than killing town in hopes that they kill scum.…the trade off is worth it
also, seeing how it’s day 1, i would think scum is less likely to hit a PR this early…

This makes no sense…killing town on purpose in hopes of killing scum…
In post 139, MagnaofIllusion wrote:I disagree in that if we have to choose between giving a Policy lynch the power to kill anyone of their choice or a Scummy play said ability I’d 10 out of 10 times rather have the Policy lynch taking the shot. Ostensibly scummy players are more likely to be scum and scum has a 0% (barring cross-kills if this is Multiball) of killing a partner since they aren’t living to reap any Town cred from the shot (aka ***spreads arms wide***).
Of course Scum will not kill scum…but why wouldn’t you want to try and kill scum the first time? I don’t get it. If we hit scum the first time, we win..we’ve already killed one..we don’t have to hope on the suicide vig, because we have already killed scum.
Anyway..this has taken much longer than I anticipated..i came in late to work tonight and now I have to drive home, sleep for a lousy 3 ½ hours and then come back…
standing out so far:
I am not liking Minimum’s or Starbucks posts…
I do like Dedd for town..
And I didn’t read RedFF as scummy like a few others have…
I should be fully caught up by tomorrow sometime, so expect more in depth reads, along with my vote and choice then…
