It’s too late to go back to having a lynch between 2 candidates with unknown affiliation, because we know (or think we know) Chronos’s affiliation already. (snipped) I agree that Chronos has just admitted his scuminess but not sure what you are on about with the bets. Talking to LightFoot perhaps? **Vote Chronos** I always think it’s best to lynch known scum right away, you never know what they could get up to if left alone. ---

We did have a gambling part of the first game. We could bet sins with people in purgatory. ---

OK, I’m lost. There’s a purgatory-themed Mafia game running somewhere? How does that work? ---

I’m more worried about the lack of discussion of this game rather than any other. Yes, I think **Chronos** is going to be lynched, but should we talk about any other suspects? I’ve already mentioned my suspicions of **Askthepizzaguy** and **Astral Rejection** , but those are both active posters. Who’s not engaged with the game or lurking that we should be suspicious of? Anyone? ---

I’ve already mentioned my suspicions of **Askthepizzaguy** and **Astral Rejection** , but those are both active posters. Who’s not engaged with the game or lurking that we should be suspicious of? Anyone? You’re right, of course. But sadly, the revelation of **Chronos** ’s scumminess (scummitude? also: sp?) came far too early toDay. It’s not unusual to see this as a kind of recess before business starts anew… ---

To some degree, not talking when a lynch is certain is somewhat pro-town, as scum cannot use the non-existent conversation to pick out power tells or determine an optimum night kill. For instance, if I gave you a list of people in most suspicious of, and that list is composed entirely of townies, it would be advantageous to night-kill me and put some measure of suspicion on those people. As I’m at the top of several people’s lynch lists, they’re exceptionally unlikely to night kill me (why waste a night kill on someone likely to be lynched?), but it illustrates my point. ---

Meh, that is true every Day regardless of the state of lynch candidates. It’s far more pro-town to discuss and get information out there. ---

I agree. I’m basically just saying this lull isn’t the end of the world. ---

So, **Diggit** , do you have any comments about things other than **Chronos** , then? **Mahaloth** : do you think the suspicion against you on Day One/your vanilla claim/ is really enough for you to be acting self-sacrificially? ---

Not really, though I was under the impression we were nervous Chronos’ death wouldn’t go through and I thought I was feeling enough heat to be willing to be the backup lynch. I’m a bad lynch as a town, but not so bad as a vanilla town. ---
