Re my previous post. I didnā€™t see the point as he was being lynched whatever I did when it came towards the end of the day. > [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > Anyway, I agree that getting rid of the lurkers seems like a good plan. So far it seems like the people who have been dying in the night are kind of middlers. That is they donā€™t talk a huge amount but theyā€™re not stone silent either. Though peeker was saying quite a bit in the night before he died. But like Gryff and TexCat were kind of in the middle. Theyā€™d vote or talk but not really say anything exceptional. I donā€™t think it is a good plan to lynch the lurkers unless we actually look at peoplesā€™ posts and strip out the fluff. A lot of people have got a lot of posts asking for/serving drinks at night and discussing things that arenā€™t game related. I donā€™t have a problem with that but if I get lynched because I donā€™t join in with that then thatā€™s not good play. The question Iā€™m asking myself now is, should I post lots of stuff unrelated to the game and start ā€œme tooā€ just to avoid the lynch? ---

**ColdPheonix** , I wouldnā€™t worry. No one is going to vote for someone like you based on post count alone, as you are actually contributing. Still, the more everyone posts the better it is for Town - up to a point. ---

Given that itā€™s all been town that have been killed and we are fast approaching half the population gone, I think the no scum but a few serial killers is looking more likely. I canā€™t think of any way to identify them other than cop reports though. Hopefully we have cops and they get lucky tonight. ---

I mentioned it earlier, basically because I didnā€™t have strong feelings in any way about who got voted out as nobody had raised my suspicions. It was clear that \*\*Darth \*\*was getting lynched, a vote for him or anyone else wouldnā€™t have changed that so I didnā€™t see the point. The same thingā€™s happening today. **Nanook** ā€™s being lynched purely due to lurking. Thereā€™s no real evidence that he/sheā€™s scum. But to stop my non-voting being raised again. **Vote Nanook** It feels like a me too vote and that Iā€™m jumping on this bandwagon thatā€™s formed. \*\*Nanook \*\*nor anyone else has raised my suspicions. People are not giving anything away and (possibly as we havenā€™t lynched scum yet) the voting records arenā€™t helping. Iā€™m just voting as I get questioned when I donā€™t vote, again it looks like \*\*Nanookā€™s \*\*going whether I vote or not. I think the fact that \*\*Darth \*\*wasnā€™t scum should show that my not voting wasnā€™t an issue. If I were scum Iā€™d have jumped on that bandwagon to get rid of town. ---

I canā€™t think of any way to identify them other than cop reports though. Hopefully we have cops and they get lucky tonight. Iā€™m not sure weā€™re yet at the point where we can afford to base play on the idea that ā€œno scumā€ is the gastardliness of the game. There have been perfect scum victories before, after all, and the last game I was scum in was won in part because the town made bad/unfounded assumptions about how many scum there probably were. The danger of thinking you know more than you do about the composition of the anti-town force(s) (or the game in general, for that matter) is that you get complacent and miss things. ---

Okay, weā€™re going to get ourselves massacred if we just vote lurker and then donā€™t DO ANYTHING ELSE. I donā€™t know if we have any cops. Itā€™s my opinion, at this point, that if we do _and if they have anything to report_ that it may be time to do so. Keeping in mind the value of confirmed town. ---

True. I was just saying that the no scum possibility is (in my opinion) looking more likely. It would also be gastardly! šŸ˜‰ > [@Zsofia](#): > > Okay, weā€™re going to get ourselves massacred if we just vote lurker and then donā€™t DO ANYTHING ELSE. > > I donā€™t know if we have any cops.

If the Cop has discovered Scum or SK by now I would be disappointed that they havenā€™t come forward. In that case, I would suggest that any Cops come forward toMorrow - 3 confirmed Townies, if nothing else, would aid Town enormously. Generally the rule is Cops should claim if they discover a badguy OR confirm 3 Townies. Oh, but some of the confirmed Town might be dead already. I donā€™t know, but it seems we are growing desperate. I think we should seriosuly consider either full claiming or partial claiming (ie, only Docs or Cops or something claim) toMorrow - depending on what happens during the Night. ---

Yeah, ok Iā€™m checking out of this game. I go through a bunch of crap to get my computer fixed, garnering votes in the meantime, come back and let everyone know what happened, and pick up even more votes. This is the laziest game of Mafia I have ever seen. Iā€™m not Town. Iā€™m not Scum either. Iā€™m your SK. Killing me is a Mislynch anyways, because Iā€™m not a threat to Town at this point. Iā€™m a threat to Scum, since I have to kill them to have a chance of winning. But youā€™re going to lynch me anyways because people are being lazy. I donā€™t care. By the way, Freudian Slit is 99% likely to be a doctor that self protected last Night. I tried to kill em and failed. Do with that what you will, Town or Scum. ---

By the way, youā€™re a threat to town AND scum, since you donā€™t know which is which. For all we know weā€™re down to LYLO - we have no idea what the setup is.
