On account of important sporting events, the Day will end very promptly if I have any influence on it. Expect Dusk to have a distinctly football-ish color to it. Please submit any and all Day actions before this date and time.

Deja vu! We get another Day 3 lynch!

And I’m not sure what time zone **storyteller0910** is in, but I count more than 48 hours until Dusk.

Surely you can set your verbosity level somewhere between 1% and 110%?

Please tell us why you voted.

Which reminds me:

So, did you ever explain exactly what the case against me you liked was? It’s quite possible I missed it if you did, so please link to it. Otherwise, please justify your vote on me.

I strongly agree with this. We lynch our best shot at Scum. There’s no point to arguing what flavor of Scum they are.

> Booz’s posts, especially early were filled with posts discussing scum logistics and makeup, scum role strategy, switches, and third parties. Now these aren’t unhelpful topics for town, but they aren’t going to be a townie’s main focus. As a scum, pondering the two scum team setup, third party roles, and switches are more pressing concerns.

I’m perfectly happy with **Boozahol Squid** ’s lynch, but you are wrong in this quote. Players should be more concerned with the capabilities of their opponents. Figuring out how to counter Scum is the best thing we can talk about. It makes us aware of possible gambits they may take. And it forces Scum to talk about things they know that we don’t. (Hence the mistake **Thing Fish** made.)

Exactly. Players talking about Scum but showing little concern about them is one of those things we can catch them on.

> [@Hawkeyeop](#):

> Sure you can ask fellow scum, but there are areas such as switches where the town has more info. More to the point, you need to talk about something during the day, and it makes sense to talk about what you are thinking about.

And why would a Townie be thinking about other Town? Unless you’re a power role thinking about your own actions, there is little reason for Townies to think about their own team. Scum is what we should be looking for, and Scum is what we should be thinking about, and Scum is what we should be talking about.
