I’m limiting myself to skimming at this point. I think it will be better for my blood pressure.
I did see this though:
I think brewha’s statement pretty much sums up why I’m so frustrated with these games. Brewha’s statement should be a clear indication that brewha is scum. The problem is, this kind of risk-averse play is the Town’s modus operandi so one really can’t say for certain that brewha is playing a scum cop-out card. Town cannot lynch based on the “risk” of being wrong. That is absolute madness! Scum is going to false claim and they will false claim things that makes Town uneasy to lynch that player. Lynches must be determined based on evidence, not the potential power of the role-claim.
So the question is: is brewha scum or a nervous risk-averse Town? I’m leaning scum; though I’m basing this on one data point.
One avenue that no one seems to be considering (unless I skimmed over it) is the list of volunteers for claim vanilla Town for NAF to investigate. Are scum likely to volunteer for this or sit happily in the not-to-be investigated column? I say the latter for the most part, but I wonder if one scum claimed vanilla to “cover bases.” I’m curious to know why scum waited as long as they did to take a shot at NAF. I wonder if the next person on NAF’s “to investigate” list is scum. I don’t even remember who that is, but someone should look at it.
I also think lynch the lurker should be a matter of policy as it makes the endgame more interesting. Town keeps lynching the active players which leaves no postings for the end of the game. Yawn.
