@Xorxes:

What makes you purport that Foodcoats, who you hath presumably never played with before, is a "very good player"?

[xorxes]

As for bozo's questions, I'm not convinced on the no-lynch. It seems like an easy way for Mafia not to commit to a vote.

The hypo thing would only work if we could trust everyone to follow through, and I don't think we're capable of that level of organization here. I'm willing to try it if you can get the consensus though.

@Xorxes:

I purported no such thing. There was a conditional in there if you read rather more carefully.

[xorxes]

Xorxes I rather don't think you'd vote for yourself. I was addressing Beancomb

Why did you use the word "rather" there?

If you had been paying rather more attention I rather think you would know.

:) Your sarcasm detector needs some finetuning.

xorxes what if I have nothing to claim

[xorxes]

xorxes what if I have nothing to claim

Then there's nothing to worry about, is there?

What makes you purport that he conditionally might be?

xorxes is scum.

[Jamiet99uk]

Are you voting him?
Why didn't you actively encourage me to vote him, even when I asked you directly?

[Jamiet99uk]

I'm going to ##Vote Xorxes, but I'm not certain how sincere Brainbomb is.

[Jamiet99uk]

##CALL GM

Since the bot is broken, can we has a Vote Count plz?

[Jamiet99uk]

Wait, this statement is dodgy.

Why would you want to read him as "anything" you want to? Surely it should be about reading his actual alignment accurately.

Something is bothering me here. Rather.

[brainbomb]

I was referring to when I caught him as 3rd party effortlessly

[Jamiet99uk]

There is no third party in this game.

@bozo

You say that a hypo claim is good here, what are your thoughts on the trade off it would require for everyone to come up with their own claim eating into the time people have for scum-hunting. I can see this becoming an issue for people with limited time or variable schedules.

I am thinking something similar in regards to encouraging people to post reads. My biggest fear is that only some will take the hypoclaim posts seriously and from that it will be easy to discern who is the actual PR and who is not.

@bozo - My votes are also:

1. No - mostly because it requires everyone to be into the idea and since we are already not unanimous, it wouldn't work.
2. No - primarily that even a mislynch does provide info to effect N1 actions. Is it risky because we could hit a PR? Yes it is, but the odds of that are the same as hitting a scum too in this setup.

As for bozo's questions, I'm not convinced on the no-lynch. It seems like an easy way for Mafia not to commit to a vote.

The hypo thing would only work if we could trust everyone to follow through, and I don't think we're capable of that level of organization here. I'm willing to try it if you can get the consensus though.

What's with all this not trusting everyone to follow through... I find this argument scummy as a way to hedge your bet (not that people like Damo should get off for saying they want more info before deciding)

I'd like to hear more pros and cons before voting but my current thinking is:

NO LYNCH - ambivalent, expected town% EON1 70% either way 7:3 v 6.273:2.727

HYPOCLAIMING - slightly in favour but could easily be swayed the other way by decent argument. Potential future value v obfuscation and confusion

...if we agreed to do something like hypoclaiming then of course we would all be on board... please provide a better reason for why you think it would be positive or negative for town.

##VOTE Xorxes

[Jamiet99uk]

I think that puts Xorxes in the lead.

[foodcoats]

Jamie it's because I have a banana chemise.

Should we consider Ike? Isn't the total silence worth a few feet of rope?
