but Alyssa, if we spend days lynching lurkers/empty slots and scum kills fairly competent/active town then it seems like it would just be a scum sweep since scum would control the game at this point, no?
I just think this is an unfair situation and I wish we could just get a mass modkill on the leapers.Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

the only difference is the amount of inactive slots we have when they all die-

we potentially only have two kills left in play with the SK dead
I find it frankly impossible that scum aren't in the inactive useless slots, and the only thing that we do by lynching our scumreads in the active slots is:
1. we don't waste the scumteam's kill on them
2. scorched earth all the people playing the game while all the slots that aren't hang around
if these useless slots start actually playing or get replaced, then the situation changes and suddenly we can change track, but it's fucking mental to me that we're considering tolerating the presence of so many slots doing absolutely nothing just so we can gain a negligable advantage tomorrow-

Unless you’re saying every remaining scum is a lurker, I disagree. It seems incredibly unlikely that all 10 scum are lurking, so if there’s even one active scum left it’s better to hunt for them than guess randomly at a lurker. You also mention a “negligible advantage”, but I argue that any advantage is better than no advantage. I’m not accusing you of being scummy, I just feel that this argument is incorrect.In post 4303, Alyssa The Lamb wrote:we potentially only have two kills left in play with the SK dead

What makes you say the other scum team will inevitably kill the scummiest player? For example, say a member of Red Scum is particularly scummy. Blue Scum could kill him, but there’s really not much point, because they could kill a member of town instead, while the town is forced to lynch red scum at some point. Sure, blue scum could night kill the red scum guy, but equally they can let town do it for them. It’s disadvantageous for blue scum to do it themselves, so there’s no reason they would.
Of course, if they knew the red scum guy to have particular powerful abilities, this argument doesn’t hold, but assuming it’s just a guy that looks scummy, it does.-

this means they want to kill all the most active town and the deepwolves to potentially remove town from having any significant threats as well as the other scumteam from inevitably killing them
we can let them wage that war now and analyze the aftermath later when the game is more manageable- SausasaurusRex

Give me a few hours, I’d like to discuss things with a few players, but due to time zones they won’t be online for a while I think.In post 4308, Nero Cain wrote:hey Rex you should start scumhunting and tell us your results.- Nero Cain

I still disagree. By lynching lurkers we’re undoubtedly going to lynch town too, which brings scum closer to their goal. If we kill all the non-lurking scum, the lurking scum is undoubtedly going to stop lurking at some point, at which we can then assess all player’s scumminess again, and find the scum. It’s directly against our wingoal as town to risk lynching other town.In post 4310, Alyssa The Lamb wrote:In post 4180, Alyssa The Lamb wrote:yes let's kill within the active players until the only slots still alive are the empty slots

if timezones are a problem shouldn't you go ahead and ask questions so they can answer when they get on?Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Why is lynching town inherently bad
We have like 10 mislynches, assuming absolutely zero cross kills
And we are in a situation where plenty of players aren't even playing the game
Are we going to remove them when we have enough mislynches to spare or are we going to wait to deal with them after we waste even more lynches on vigs?- Nero Cain

if we are going to lynch slots for doing shit all then fine but the difference is that u are going afterEMPTYslots.
ar has never posted in this game.
Non replaced out after a few votes.
Psyche and Chemist were prob bored/overwhelmed.
Jam hasn't eve been added to the replacements yet despite clearly not being around.
If we are going to lynch empty slots to so we don't have them in endgame then I'd lynch psyche slot b/c Kage was terrible and Psyche useless.
You could maybe argue that Non is scummy b/c his iso is similarish to his Iso in mini normal 2122 but you could make that statement about any minimalist lurker.
Now if we wanted to start punishing slots for doing shit all that's like half the game. There's vaultdweller, and clidd, I can't remember a thing Yiley has posted. There's profii and army, and Dave and Bob and dolittle (very do little) and several others.
Would u be willing to do profii or Psyche's slot?Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
