Here’s a little anecdote for all of you:
Yesterday I visited my pulmonologist to see if my CPAP machine was helping me with my chronic tiredness. (It is.) He informed me that it had to work because it was Mechanical. Yeah, you could hear the capital M.
And that brought to my mind the fact that, having done the research, I know that (especially with an oversized group such as this) my process of Lynching the Low Count Posters works. Note: I didn’t say Lynch the Lurker. Lurking implies going through the fluff. This is strictly Mechanical.
You may say you don’t like to play that way. That’s your opinion. My opinion is if it works, and if Town is down 10 players and Scum is down 0, I’m gonna stick to it.
I have been doing more reading over on MafiaScum. There I found two pieces of advice that encourage me: 1) Town are Idiots. We don’t have the information we desperately need and flail about all ways, hoping to luck into something. 2) Hunt the Scum Team, not just individuals.
So, on D1 and D2 there isn’t enough Data to really make a good case. This is D3. Here they are: The Mafia and the Wolves are most likely found in these 14 people:
Svejk, Cygnus42, Khameleon, Howkeyop, Hal Briston, DiggitCamara, Nanook,
BillMC, Koldanar, MHaye, nesta, Zeriel, Idle Thoughts, Inner Stickler
The order is from least-to-highest posters. Yes, I considered people who’ve subbed in for other people.
So, having said that, my vote goes to:
vote sachertorte
Not because I think I’m wrong about Scum. It’s because sachertorte and Crys have claimed to be 3P, and harmless LUTHA’s.
Archangel has said that 3P is always harmful to Town, and, having read through some 20+ games in the last year, I do believe she’s right. Crys offered herself up as a sacrificial proof, but she’s just the Second Deacon. sachertorte is the First. She’s protecting him.
After we get rid of the 3P’s, then we can concentrate on Scum. And the other possibility is, the Deacons are lying, and are actually Scum hiding as harmless LUTHA’s. In which case, we win. What they are not is Town hiding as 3P’s.
Plum, I haven’t forgotten your request. I am now going back to my reading, and will have an answer for that either today or tomorrow, as time permits.
