I quoted it out of context Dunnstral, lynches follow standard normal queue procedures and that rule only applies to the crown selection.
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

OK, but the question still remains as: who gets the crown

tried to meta Egduf some.

She was rather pedantic about right or wrong ways to break the setup in her completed game and was town. There's a bit of similarity to how she's approaching this day1.

I think she's at least not as scummy as Drew who just seems way offtone and mysteriously difficult to accrue votes for

Dunnstral when the most mysterious things to you are who gets the crown in a tie and what is the true soul of Royal Gold and not who are the people who can secretly kill me at night it becomes a tough sell for me to believe that this is the first game we've rolled the same alignment.

Playing IRL mafia frequently is weird/rare. It may still be somewhat widely played in Russia but in all other areas it's used as a party game (and parties theoretically don't occur "a lot") and in board gaming groups it's not preferred against the other made up social deduction games like Coup and Resistance.

It was so baseless I couldn't manage a mnemonic for what it even was and clicking the iso button to go look seems wrong

OH! you didn't expect me to ask people to make alignment indicative posts

I'm still here, still asking you to please make alignment indicative posts

Is it still scummy

I don't understand this post still which seems to be the crux of your argument.

By the way pick one:

-it doesn't make sense to interpret Correspondence's post as though Correspondence is trying to determine who Correspondence's partner is
or
- you're lazily using "they" instead of egduf's or Hectic's singular pronoun and it makes your post harder to read.
Why would correspondence try to determine their own partner?

And I won't use he/she unless they specify it as a preference. They will suffice.

In post 176, Dunnstral wrote: Unfortunately that's not something you can be over (I get what pops is saying now)—if you consider that it's a hydra then that's not scummy for them, so voting them amounts to a sort of policy vote. Or am I wrong?
But the inconsistency isn’t between hydra heads, it’s within one post from Henrietta.
In post 155, Correspondence wrote:
I begin to suspect we were wrong with regard to Mr. Hectic. While he is certainly erratic and strange, the rush to condemnation seems overly hasty. I suspect that if he were part of some nefarious enterprise, his partner would rather protect him, and conversely the real criminals would be all too eager to use him as a scapegoat. Therefore, I believe he is guilty of little more than being a young man, prone to the eccentricities of callow youths and little more.

My greatest concern continues to be Miss Egduf. While I consider her most likely in league with Mister Drew, she continues to be suspicious of her own accord.

Fondest regards,
Henrietta
I thought it was over multiple posts?

Hectic is he and Edguf is she, that's set as preferences

Egduf's position is that she demands equal treatment to Hectic, even though Hectic's interacted with far more of the thread without garnering any kind of White Knight or even much of an apparent smoke screener, and that that is scummy

I don't think it's an inconsistency. And even if it is an inconsistency I think it requires a specific configuration of flips to be a scummy one.

I'm 99% sure there was a couple years in the 90s where Crayola was selling a color that looked just like that in their 32 pack Crayon box and labelling it "Royal Gold" because whatever materials they needed for a real Royal Gold was too expensive.


Therefore it is Royal Gold, my childhood experiences are law

Her last post, I'm extrapolating a bit.

Drew's Hectic vote could be viewed as smokescreening for edguf actually since it's a target Correspondence is partial to

So this is actually interesting, I think along these lines but with Drew and correspondence so break this read down on egduf for me.
