HypersomniacLive: If scum want to lurk their way to victory, what is stopping us from shooting the lurkers?
Nothing. Let's shoot the lurkers! Everyone knows I don't like lurkers. I think scum often hides in lurkiness and even if they are town, they don't help winning and generally don't contribute to the game. I'm just against thoughlessly shooting someone without talking about it beforehand.
drealmer7: No flavor?! What am I going to ramble about?!
how boring! I might as well just shoot myself...
By all means, do. If you don't have anything to contribute, you might as well be scum. Rambling about flavour doesn't help town so if that's all you are prepared to do, that might actually tell us something about your alignment!
Maybe that statement was just a joke. But maybe it way you hiding behind a joke because you genuinely don't know what to write without revealing your scumminess? Who knows.
We could still use votes to emphasize our opinion on who should be shot. In an attempt to take a middle way, like cristi suggestend, we could also make voting less strict than usual. Everyone could use multiple votes and whenever someone feels that there is a big enough majority on someone, he can pick up the gun and try to shoot the agreed upon scum candidate.
