If you didn’t want us to choose why did you post in thread? You could have quietly sent a pm to the mods with your request and you would have been subbed or modkilled. You didn’t flip out until NAF indicated his willingness to mod-kill you imediately.
Many people are busy and come in and state that fact and they are not up for lynch. Why did you not take that route vs the outlandish method you chose?
I have a better suggestion: Raise your hand if you’ve played in a game with IDLE where he used extra large font while accusing town of abusing him and repeatedly saying how much he didn’t want to play and he turned out to be scum.
**sinjin **Raises her hand I don’t remember the game but it caused me to stop playing for awhile.
You don’t see any contradiction in these two sentences? You;re happy to lynch him, indicating you think he’s scum, but don’t want him being modkilled, because modkilling town is bad? So he’s Schroedinger’s Idle, simultaneously town and scum until you open the box?
And exactly what I said would happen has done so. Idle comes in, makes a lot of noise, and the Day shuts down.
Well it sort of depends on how the Day goes doesn’t it. The reconsideration potential is due to the fact that we can’t predict what is going to happen next. As it is no one is getting killed.
An ideal game, one that is balanced, is also solvable. Or potentially solvable. But to solve it, Town powers need to be utilized, information needs to be shared, and discussions need to happen. None of that occurs with lurking players.
Scum, on the other hand, have no real need to solve anything. They know who their teammates are. Everyone else is the enemy.
These are two very opposite goals from one another. The solutions are also, often, opposite as well.
Why would scum kill lurkers? What harm are they causing? What problems are they solving? If this thread just sat empty until Sunday afternoon when it was time to vote, that would suit scum just dandily.
Now, I don’t know anyone who is advocating killing a specific lurker. But, if no suitable candidate pops up, what harm does offing a lurker do? In the absolute worst case scenario, you killed a Power Town role. That person wasn’t contributing to the game anyway and therefore wouldn’t have gotten us to the end goal of solving the game.
I’m Town and I’ve gotten a Townie vibe off you too, so I think you’d be better off casting your vote elsewhere. So I’ll wait until you actually cast a vote for me to see what your objections are and then I can respond.
I think he’s scum. I don’t know he’s scum. The problem is that I HAVE seen Idle pull all of this as town. So he may be town and I wasn’t thrilled with the potential of yet another extra town death if he is.
Yeah, I actually think Schroedinger’s cat is a fairly good metaphor because we won’t know if he’s town or scum until his reveal.
The problem with your reasoning is that you’re not addressing that most players don’t know if he’s town or scum. The only way I could know that is if I’m his teammate. If I’m his scum teammate then I wouldn’t be arguing for his lynch, I’d be arguing for his modkill if he was going to die anyway, because I would still want a lynch that benefitted me.
Unless you think Idle, Prof. P. and I are all scum teammates and I’m arguing for Idle’s lynch in favor of Prof. P’s. That’s not now I play scum but I guess I can see why you would think that.
That’s a very, what’s the word I want to use… ‘scummy’ is too bland and catch-all, ‘weaselly?’ Yes. That’s quite weaselly of you. For those missing the context, Prof. P threw out the name MHaye and expected others to read up on him, offering no analysis of his own.
I’m way more Townie than you, dude. vote Prof. P
I’m pro-killing Idle Thoughts too, by the way, but I think he deserves a mod-kill.
I don’t understand the question. If it turns out he’s town and is mislynched it’s better than him being modkilled as town and someone else being mislynched too. The prime lynch candidate is Prof. P and I strongly think he’s town now.

Don’t have my notes handy & killing time on phone, but I know many people cited Prof voting for a cultist as a major reason for voting for him. I’m OK with lynching him for not scum hunting and voting for brewha; his brief advocacy of a bad idea isn’t such a huge deal IMO. But I do wonder why votes aren’t moving off him and onto one of the two players CURRENTLY voting for a cultist.
