joppo: I think this needs some emphasis. If we fall into that trap we risk subconsciously sorta stop looking for the current day's scumminess if it isn't coming from the player that is the previously "scheduled" lynch.
Going by GR's scenario, by the time it would be time to lynch Pooka there could be another player slowly leaning scummier and we are just not looking anymore because we're already locked to Pooka.
Please note that was a bit of a brainfart by me.....I meant we should lynch someone(anyone that's scummiest) from the non-lock(or near lock) town, and then another & so on....etc....until we win.

joppo: Pooka: Pooka has been very firm to not let Trent walk scot free after he behaved scummy enough to point at himself like the player he would lynch if he were in anyone else's position. The problem I see with Pooka however is that one of his main arguments is Flocke's code which as I said before I don't believe has any merit, not because N0 is impossible or unlikely but because scum has nothing to gain by drawing attention to their communications when it is so simple to just arrange a more covert code.
He also doesn't consider Lift's argument that Trent is both experienced enough not to need and proud enough not to want to be coached by Yogsloth, which I suppose must be true because other veterans didn't refute.
Despite that, Trent might as well be scum and maybe Town!Pooka stumbled upon the truth after following what I consider a false lead. (That happens a lot in police work IRL.)
OTOH, Scum!Pooka could be seeing Trent as an easy lynch. Would he?
I dunno for sure, vbut all the back-forth between the two made me want to do a "Dr. Loveless" and bag em both at some point, and is why they are on my list near the top atm.

joppo: 1) - Nope, a survivor has to survive until the end of the game to win. Like others said it's the Jester you're thinking of but that's a terrible bastard role according to the wiki. I don't think ZFR would out it, and I think Trent would do a much better job if he wanted to guarantee his own lynch.
With all the PRs & how unique some are(imo) I wouldn't put it past him/rule it out entirely, for now anyways. As for Trent: He could be getting burnt out on the game and want a quick end to it(for himself at least) like others posited....sad if true, but imo understandable if one plays too many of these games. :|
joppo: I also think we should consider there are two scum. If the game is over after we lynch one that's great; but let's play it safe shall we?
I am gonna respectfully decline, though I WILL at least be open to the likely third party possibly being bad for town to lynch. :) Maybe a bit suspect, but imo it's more NAI(could be used by either side).
I call a bit of bullspit on this....it's been 1 WHOLE HOUR and no more posts from you.....you must be the SCUMMMMMMMMMMMM! o.0 ;D
(To all: The above line is a joke, not serious :))

Then what are doing here, wage slave#2-4601? o.0

PookaMustard: @all boy the commute was terrible yesterday. It's much better today, but I'm still really not a fan of going out into the middle of the city early at morning and then ending up just an hour or two away from sleep. Job's still fun, but I'd really appreciate being closer!
Solution: Invent teleportation(magical is preferred, given the current game setting, but doom style would be ok as well[sans the demons of course]). That or move closer. ;)
Ok then :)
