Unless you have a considerably better lynch option, fearing a post-lynch power isn’t worth it. Especially if you don’t have a vig or any obvious way of nullifying it. You’re going to have to bite-the-bullet sooner or later, so for most cases, it’s better to be sooner.

Best. Snark. Ever. (At least for this particular game.)

And the more I see of Telcontar, the less scummy he seems. I found him very scummy in the beginning because his pursuit of Daphne was ridiculous and he couldn’t see how ridiculous it was. The pursuit itself was anti-town, and not alone necessarily a scum tell, but his dogged hold on it came across as scummy. It reeked of newbie scum. But he’s actually greatly improved his play as the game has worn off, and I’m leaning town on him now.
