Rarely do I say things aren't worth talking about pre-flip, but without a flip of Tacos/ someone in this conversation, this topic and speculation gained from it all lead no where.

I may have made 1½ good posts, but Tchill's response is about par for the course. I don't like being pushed around by him, but this is reminding me of day 1 which makes me feel like this is a much better decision.

Race between Dunker/Tacos/Fykus/Havo/Profii to obvtown.
Lycanfire - agree with post 306 in theory however, I think it is naive to assume the scum have no agenda and just blindly kill anyone who is a threat.
If this was the definitive mafia playbook we would have already insta-lynch Tacos.
I think the legitimate reason to put the 2 theories out there is when we do get the flip, we can see who was pushing for the mislynch or pushing to save a scammer depending on which way it goes so it still holds some value. Now we have got into the mechanics of it, people are more likely to sit on the fence so that’s a shame. There were tells to be had imo!
I also agree with post 307 there - although I say town lean, I didn’t think I needed to spell out that it is Day 1 and to make things super clear let’s say I had a scale where -10 was scum insta lynch, 0 was obviously null read and 10 was confirmed role by PR... given these early stages any town read isn’t going beyond 2 out of 10 or something like that.
In response to the havo queries - I caveat this by saying I’ve completed 1 game on this site and there seems to be some fairly accepted etiquette that we do a bit of RVS, then we get to L-1, followed by intent to hammer, closing arguments etc and then we do the deed if we think it’s the way to go etc.
The reason I caveat that with “I’m new here” is because I’m not sure how strict that etiquette is- particularly around day 1. On the one hand I don’t like day 1 as much as anyone and it was certainly one way to transparently move the game along.
On the other hand if you read it with a scum narrative the post says to me, there is a low likelyhood that the scum will reach L-1 so I’m going to declare I’ll insta-hammer and excuse myself later with “well it was day-1!” And scum know they can lay down a safe hammer
I’m sure Lycan will file this under speculation and I would agree - the reason I went for null/concern was I think the scum scenario is plausible but I was waiting to see if you guys accepted his plan was an acceptable way to play Day 1 in which case, less concern, or if everyone was outraged at the quick hammmer then the above scenario becomes more feasible.
Chumba - stitch up - apologies that’s a bit colloquial, it basically means setting up someone else to take the fall, I.e as per my scenario where scum lynched Nero to incriminate Taco. Obviously we don’t need to go through that debate again as i understand your position but if you and Lyc think mafia just kill threats we kill Taco today right?
