You can take me off the sub list. I don’t think I quite grasp this game. I’m not comfortable playing a game without knowing the rules. ---

Before I officially get spoilered, I want to say that I’m not seeing the cases against Allwalker here. At all. His statements are completely reasonable and are the way I would have interpreted things. Meeko’s attacks scream newbie, regardless of alignment. And based on how he’s wording his attacks and some other comments he’s made, I’m not thinking newbie Town. BillMC I don’t get an alignment read from, but his case against Allwalker is bad. I could see BillMC being scum, and Meeko overzealously aligning himself with a fellow scum before his mates could reign him in. ---

No offense when you read this **Meeko** , but quit with the wild, baseless speculation and play the game. I’d be lynching you just to cut down on the noise. You’ve analyzed Pedescribe ten times more than you’ve analyzed anybody actually playing the game! ---

You’ve analyzed Pedescribe ten times more than you’ve analyzed anybody actually playing the game! Picky picky. 😛 I couldn’t believe the level of rules analysis; I’m almost glad to be dead. There was a heavy level of “WTF” in that discussion. I’m hoping that it turns out to be an insidious scum plot to confuse the issue, as then it would at least make sense. ---

I’m hoping that it turns out to be an insidious scum plot to confuse the issue, as then it would at least make sense. That’s the only logical explanation I could think of. So it would be ‘kill Meeko because he’s noisy or because he’s scum trying to be confusing’. Some of those theories he’s bouncing around are quite bizarre. ---

What an incredibly devious game setup! Think it was pure chance that scum managed to get a power role on the first go? I also wonder why combine the doctor role with the (de)conversion role in one player? Seems pretty risky. I can’t decide if that means there are fewer roles/less powerful roles for town than typical, or if there are more roles/powerful roles than typical.
