The analyst in me says there is a sweet spot for a D1 lynch. Generally, its closer to fast than to slow AND the more town moves towards slow, normally, the worse it goes.

And the lynch itself normally is the reason. Assuming a game has some give forcing fast-stances AND putting a set of night actions where, normally, town hasn't had 1-3 obvious threat players paint a target on themselves can balance out.

Quicklynching that is anti-town: doing so before everyone has posted and had a chance to take stances on the going ons

Well that pro-town is colored by both being anti-town here.

Generally quicklynching is bad because scum want to incite a mob mentality, and in doing so make it very hard for town to change their mind, (which I think is the most pro-town thing town can actually do). For fear of being called scum or whatever. It usually leads to some fallout out as well for one or two other townies, and its only by day three or later that the pieces can begin to be picked up.

Plus, if we find someone with an ability we want to copy we can just blow SpyreX off and give him some fake results or say we got nothing the night before. This is gold.

After MJ was hammered I knew it was over

I was trolling the thread and soft claiming scum....


Oh yeah, I forgot that was after the hammer. You funny! :P

I think a quicklynch can only work out well if it actually manages to hit scum. In every case where the mislynch has been a speedlynch in games I've played, it's translated into a series of mislynches as everyone just lazytowns into lynching whoever hammered the previous time, which scum is almost never dumb enough to do.
I'll never get used to anything. Anybody that does, they might as well be dead.

Well, duh, thats the whole argument. Quick lynches are unlikely to be on scum, and they doom town in subsequent days, in my opinion.

I didn't see that until parama started spouting that whenever he did it, actually.
'Twas not my intent.

Gotta kinda agree with this.

Fate's the Scum MVP. You guys went along with his plans a little too readily and didn't allow yourselves any time for reflection. 17 pages is really, really short. Even for a mini.

Sure, but I enjoyed this game about 20 times more than most of the games I actually end up winning. So there's that, at least. <_<

Lol gandalf and you did SO much to explain/present these "I knew they were scum" reads to town in a way that would avoid your mislynch.

You played horribly, you got lynched. Don't try to blame others (cept Parama hammer) for this loss
