Well you just sit there and think about it all night.

Actually if you think about it though, why would William18 calculate the odds already? I suspect that he's innocent. Or guilty... I can go either way on this, I'll just wait and see what the mob decides...

OK, based on the role I have, I know there are at least 3 people who are kinda key to beating the cults.
So if you hit one of these people, the cult they are specialized against will have little to stop them besides lynching, and you have an equal chance of hitting these people as cult leaders.
Therefore,
UNVOTE SPIESR
VOTE NO LYNCH

Yes, even though there's an obvious downside for
everybody if we don't lynch, I think I'll be able to rally you all onto the no lynch bandwagon!
I also think that stroop is too eager to label me a cult leader with little more than a no lynch vote to go on. I suspect stroop, but need more to vote to lynch him.
Tut tut, I said that there's a 1 in 4 chance that you're a cult leader, not that you are one. You may notice that the odds of you being a townie are 3 times as large.

2 problems with this.
1. If we hit a cult leader now then we don't need the person who fights that cult t beat the cult as that cult is dead! There is as good of chance of killing a cult now as their ever will be.
2. You have either painted a huge target on your head or are lying...

I don't even know captianwalrus. I was just doing what everyone else was; Lynching for no obvious reason. Can't help it if I play it cooler!
I don't see why we would even be talking about lynching yet. Of course, I'm new to this, but shouldn't we have some form of evidence before we lynch someone? A group consensus perhaps? Everyone is voting for someone differen't. And I agree that it is too risky to lose a cult killer to a blind lynch.

Unless there is a cop or something (maybe maybe not) we are unlikely to ever know for sure that they person we think we should lynch will be cult. We just have to find someone who looks most like it and go for it. And if we do start to build a lynch on a pro-town power-role they can always try to make a claim to save themselves. If they are a "cult killer" they have an okay chance of getting us to stop form lynching them. If they are forced out in to the open by us may not be the end of the world as (so far) it appears the cults can only kill if they all target the same person. I am not sure what would happen if a "cult killer" is recruited but for all I know that may even be
how they kill the cult...
Juan_Bottom wrote:I agree but I think kage is just saying we should lynch someone because we have some idea of who they are, rather than blind lynching.
Really? To me it seemed like he had decided that a lynch was to risky to be attempted and advocated us not doing a lynch.

heh, fair enough, I suppose I'm just a bit uneasy after seeing the results so far for Natewolfman's other game here.
I do find it odd that so many here benefit from no-lynches, there's always a chance of them being leaders, though it's hard to tell knowing so little about potential roles.

Can't people lie about their roles? I don't understand?

That does make sense, and in that instance, it seems like the best thing to do is to keep them from being found out. Then we really should excersize caution with lynchings?
spiesr wrote:Really? To me it seemed like he had decided that a lynch was to risky to be attempted and advocated us not doing a lynch.
Same difference, if he had evidence he would lynch.

To people suggesting no lynching your forgetting one major point. Lynches give us information, we find out the lynched players role so we can see who supported their lynch, who opposed it and who was just bandwaggoning. After a few lynches patterns emerge and then we have good evidence as to who is scum.
If we no lynch then we will have no more info on day 2 than we did on day 1, and its unlikely too many people will die in the night (as its a cult game) meaning we can't spot scum partnerships etc. We need information and lynches are our best tool in doing so.
And don't get voting and lynching confused it takes 10 votes to lynch so two random votes don't matter much.

This is pretty much all correct here. And to the people saying we need evidence before we lynch I have this to say. In this game the primary form of evidence is lynches and votes. Nights actions can be used as lynches too but only if you have the necessary roles to get them. It does not appear that we can count on having these roles in this game. Also note that we are not really trying to lynch any one in particular yet. We will lynch somebody when their actions of this day (call it evidence if you want) lead us to believe they a scum. I understand your hesitance to lynch someone
at this moment but voting for a no lynch is not the way to advocate not lynching but to discuss.
kagetora, you have essentially already claimed a powerful role the cult already know "what you are" and will take actions accordingly (or you are lying) so why don't you fill us in on all the details of your role so we know how to proceed.
kagetora wrote:You have an equal chance of killing off a cult leader and the cult killer I was talking about.
And therefore the potential rewards out way the risk. We have a"equal chance of wiping out a cult or forcing an anti cult role out into the open. Unless the anti-cult thing can wipe out the entire cult in one hit and there person using it is really good at it. Then getting a cult down is more valuable then that role.

Why, do you know something about me that the rest of us don't?

Who benefits form no lynches at this point in the game? I can't actually think of anybody. Unless they would be lynched themselves, which at this point should not be too hard to avoid.

Vote stroop
He is very suspicious. First he tried to vote no lyinch to save himself because the situation was very good following mpjh's no lynch vote. Then, once he realised how suspicious it looked, he changed and claimed to think it was odd that there was 3 votes for no lynch. Very suspicious.

Yes, townies are likely going to be recruited at a fast rate so I understand you want us to make the lynch count. If we lynch a leader today that would be great for the town as there would only be two cults for the rest of the game then.
But, a no lynch would help the cults as they would all recruit tonight. If the town is to win this game they need these early day lynches. Voting no lynch seems to be a really bad idea at this point. If you just wanted us to slow down and think you should have just not voted. Besides, all games here start off with at least or few random votes.
Vote mpjhOr are you jester or something like that? Because even a cult leader would want a lynch today as long as it wasn't himself.
This seems like the most suspicious thing said so far.

FOS Kagetora and mphj for now until I can decide who I will vote for. I found all this great stuff in my first read-through and spent half an hour finding looking for it while I was making this post. I can't think so clearly now. I can barely write clear sentences right now. I have found several mistakes I've made luckily. Chances are there will be an EBWOP for things I missed and half-baked sentences I changed halfway through forgetting to fix the first half.
