Actually, I'd disregard the lurkers. There's something fishy behind Ashaya's bandwagon, the witches are probably involved, so I'd actually think of the more vocal people. Yes, Vira, that means you too! But not only you. I distrust almost everyone at this point.

 

Well, you know about my opinion on lurkers and how they're public enemy number 1 so yeah.

If you want to point others out to be considered, that is awesome too!

 

Right now I really want to hear something from Lungs. Say something that actually helps! And no poems, please >.<

Irene: I'm interested to ask, why is Ashaya bandwagon fishy? Didn't Lutris get a bandwagon too in Tinyhunt 1?

 

Pyracrys: If you go back and look at the thread, both Lknee and Kens (The two witches) voted for Lutris.

Witches like to hide in bandwagons. Which is why I'm reluctant to start one/suggest any names. I'll follow Kai in the end, maybe.

 

I've always hated lurkers and started most of the "PURGE THE LURKER" bandwagons in DE2, so I'm down to lynch Aziraphale, but the last time I did that I killed the healer.

 

It's not even a bandwagon! We're basically saying to them:

Hey, we would like you guys to talk and be useful for the town and things. If you don't do this, maybe we will lynch you.

 

People who are lurking: Stop Lurking and talk.

Is that really such a dangerous message? Honestly, it doesn't matter what they have to say as much as the fact that they've said something.

 

I'm going to stir the waters a bit, even though I'm basically pulling a vote out of my ass. But let's see what happens.

Deadline Vote: Irene

 

Seriously, Kens? Of all people? Very well.

Deadline Vote: Lungs

 

Answering because Irene reminded me!

ok, so in the short term this isn't really useful - but later on having majority lynches and the opinions given about those lynches is really useful for world building, especially with the vigilante (feedback on innocent/guilty lynches) kills and detective and priest info.

Like, say there is 8 people left on day 5. Priest infodumps and clears 2 people + himself (obviously, since priest is innocent). An extra kill happened on night 2 (so maybe this was the vigilante!) but none happened on night 4 (so either we lynched a witch on day3 and/or day4 or the vigilante is dead).

So there are 8 players, 3 confirmed innocents. Out of the remaining 5, there should be 3 or less witches. So you can worldbuild using the assumption that either the day 3 or day 4 lynched person was scum, and look for some connections based on that. If we just left it up to the judge to lynch everyday, the connections we could make are more limited because opinions are cheap! Lynch votes are the real currency in this sort of thing.

 

Player Vote: Aziraphale

I really don't see the point of lynching Lungs right now, so Aziraphale will have to do.

 

Current Lynch vote status:

Irene: 1 | Kensington (D)
Aziraphale: 1 | Vira
Lungs: 2 | Irene (D), KaiDASH (D)

 

Well, guys, looks like we're heading for another judge-lynch.

My reasoning for lynching Lungs: He's an idiot and even if he's power role he'll do a terrible job at it, so he's a safe choice. Aziraphale may be lurking because he has something to lose as he's a major role...

 

It's been pointed out to me that the Killer's Death Kill is a bit unclear on whether Protection would bounce it or not. This has been fixed.

Killer now reads:

 

So...you're lynching him because you personally dislike him, rather than anything he's done in game?

And you're calling him an idiot?

Also, I hate to sound like Hash but I think that Azira just has a tendency to lurk in Mafia. He couldn't even bother to post to save his own life last time.

 

Fiat, I am lynching him because there is little alternative besides Aziraphale and him, and worst case scenario if Lungs is an innocent Power Role is a lot less dangerous than Aziraphale being an innocent power role.

If you think otherwise, feel free to vote for Aziraphale. When push comes to shove, I'll probably switch my vote for a majority lynch. But since you're not offering any opinion on who to lynch, please don't call me an idiot. Thank you.

 

So we're basically going to have a random lynch for the first day, yeah?

Between Azira and Lungs, I'd probably have to go for Lungs. From what Azira has posted, he at least has some thoughts on who's guilty and plans on expanding on it at some point. And I don't really give a fuck whether people lurk or not.

Deadline Vote: Lungs.

 

Eliminating lurkers is all well and good if they are not contributing anyway, but I would rather lynch someone that has actually spoken. Give them at least until the end of the day to post, while focusing on the people already here, or we might simply be eliminating the chance of someone on the waiting list to replace a lurker.

(Actually, looking back at it, Aziraphale has posted once. So everyone has posted. For some reason, he's easily forgettable.)

Of the active people, and based only upon what has been from today(which is mostly difficult to do):
Ashaya is honestly a major toss-up. I would like to believe that she is being honestly resigned about whatever her minimal role is, but it could be a bluff too. If it is a bluff, it would be pretty bad though(or I guess well-played if it worked). Hopefully the Priest's check exonerates her somehow. I'll wait before anything with her.

Otherwise, it's a hard sell on those others already voted for. The already mentioned Lungs is being his usual minimalist, semi-trolly self. I don't know if that outright makes him suspicious, or just potentially annoying. He wasn't a Witch last game, but that doesn't really mean anything. That said, Irene has a point that he may end up being pretty worthless at whatever role he does have if he maintains his behavior.:facepalm

Aziraphale technically posted more words on his one post than even Lungs has, and they were quite reasonable, so he can't really be considered lurking. I do wish he posted more though. If nothing else, I'm a little tired of only three to five people doing a large majority of the discussion as it has been in the previous games.

As for Irene, for completion's sake... I got nothin'. Although, Kensington admitted to voting without any real forethought, so yeah. There isn't really anything there yet.

I'll give it a bit before posting my vote, but it will probably be a Deadline Vote to give the person the chance to defend themselves. Honestly, I'm leaning a bit towards OntheImportanceofLungs, if anybody at the moment, but I don't want to do it without hearing more from him. I feel like doing so might be doing it for meta-game reasons, which I expressly didn't want to do.

 

Lol, why do I have the feeling that lynching Lungs on the first day will screw us over majorly?

 

If you don't want to be insulted, Irene, perhaps you shouldn't insult?

Just a little food for thought. The golden rule and all its associated bullshit.

Since your point in this thread is also based on you not liking Lungs (i.e. a personal opinion that will just get us all killed) I believe that my point stands.

As for me not offering any opinion on who to lynch? Fine. Deadline Vote Player: Aziraphale.

Thank you.
