> [@Johnny\_Bravo](#): > > Hm, maybe. It’s WIFOM territory because it’s true - all of the absent players **are** breaking the game. The lack of participating players makes it all but impossible to get a multi-lynch and I feel like we have more to gain than to lose by using it, especially yesterDay, when we were forced to take care of Idle. Well, it was D2, and there were 8 non-votes, on D3 there were just 2, one of whom did vote but it was not counted due to format. ToDay no-one is at risk of being mod-killed so I disagree with your take on things. > [@Mafia Reunion - Day Three](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-three/778068/1129): > > Point 3 and 4 are important. Since Scum aren’t as wary as they have been in other games, they WILL and HAVE declared someone to be town without qualms. Witness both Thing Fish and jsgoddess doing it… jgoddess even defended Thing Fish ferchrissakes! Not sure about doing it without qualms - they’ll need to have extra strong reasons to vote those players who were previously on their town leans list, and as the game progresses, while usually town would have better reads on people and therefore stronger leans, they should become more reserved and conservative - so it would be careless to go throwing names around early on, but heck, I’m not going to discourage it! > [@Mafia Reunion - Day Three](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-three/778068/1129): > > I still believe we have to do SOMETHING about the LUTHA cult. I also believe snfaulkner is very probably scum. But since no one else has backed me on that regard, I won’t fixate on the accusation. I was with you on SNF, just after you’d unvoted, as were Texcat and Koldanar. > [@DiggitCamara](#): > > which is a typical (to me) freudian slip by scum when a probable lynch involves someone they know is not on their team. Therefore, my call (so far) would be: What’s the slip? Garlic & waxing? > [@snfaulkner](#): > > Nice catch! I was already wary of Khameleon, but this puts her in the solidly scum lean column. I will vote for her if needed. What does the “if needed” mean, do you find her more solidly scummy than Boozy? Or that you’re vote is fluid? Boozy, Diggit or Koldonar are fine. > [@snfaulkner](#): > > I might be persuaded to go onto Diggit if needed for the 2nd lynch. There is still plenty of Day left, however. > [@Hoopy\_Frood](#): > > Do you disagree with my numbers? Do you disagree that when a scum team is leading the other team they don’t need to worry as much about killing the other team at that point? Do disagree that if we are at LYLO with the currently winning scum team, we can lose the game by lynching the other scum? > > If you disagree, why? > > If you don’t, then why reiterate my post and spin it as if I’m being scummy? It’s the words you used. Mislynch is a bad thing, so applying it lynching scum is strange. Lynching one type of scum being better than the other also struck me as strange when we need to remove them all to win. The rest of your post then goes on to overturn that and says we should vote wolves - as if we were choosing not to: - lynching wolves helps mafia - it’s better if mafia try to kill wolves - it’s better for us to try to lynch mafia - eliminating wolves helps town (one less kill, mafia need to fake-hunt) - it’s good to put pressure on wolves by voting them - wolves will need to kill mafia to stay in the game - mafia don’t need to focus on wolves - if we keep pressure on wolves, they will take out mafia - lynching mafia directly is better in the short term - lynching wolves is bad in the short term but forces them to kill mafia I agree that a lylo we would need to consider this and tread carefully, if we have that luxury. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-4/778699)._
