Red_Baron: It's early, so I don't feel like untangling the knot of quotations in post 350*, so I'll simply responded to you point by point. I hope you don't mind.
1) I can see how you could construe it as such, but I never meant to say that you were trying to get a lynch wagon going on JMich. I can see how you could have gotten that from my post, though, and I apologise for that. I do, however, think that it's a little suspect that you went from voting for amok to voting for Zchinque in such a short space of time.
2) The way I read that situation, it still seems to me that amok's claim was unprompted. Amok went from," I may be a little different." to, " I am most definitely different, and may even have a power of sorts." and then went completely off the rails with," I'm a little St. Bernard, I have a little keg of rum around my neck. All the fellows down at the local St. Bernard's Weekly Meet and Greet think I'm decent at it. We dress up in little costumes and pretend to rescue people stuck in the snow. Me? Well, I do it for the thrill. We rescue each other, feed each other rum, and then set about barking at one another." I may have gone to far with that last one.
So I don't see anyone, really, as having much to do with it. Which is actually not something in amok's favour. Totally unprompted claims like amok's aren't usually very beneficial to town, as it means that we have to focus on that person, perhaps missing other vital slips or clues.
3) Perhaps 'dodgy' is the incorrect term to use. I should, perhaps, rather say that I find your reasoning unsavoury, as simply lynching someone for being 'different' seems like the shortest way to not actually scum hunting on day one to me.
This not because I do not believe that either of your proposed lynch candidates is suspect, but rather because my feeling about them at this time is that they are both neutrals. Lynching someone that doesn't have directly 'evil' or anti-town motives, seems a little contrary to the point of the entire game to me.
Furthermore, I still don't see how lynching either of them would provide us with more information than lynching you or myself would. Yes, we would know their roles, but that's about it. We certainly wouldn't have lynched them because of their roles, and knowing their roles isn't helpful information in and of itself once they're dead. So I still don't get this 'information lynch' idea. I still maintain that most information from a lynch comes not from the party that was lynched, but rather from analysing the party that did the lyncing.
In closing, I'm starting to feel that we're having the typical day one townie argument. This feels almost exactly like the argument I had with JMich in Telika's game.
To Everyone: Do you feel that Red_Baron is in any way scummy?
SirPrimalForm: I also got the impression that Zchinque's stance was," I wouldn't be happy to share, but if that's what everyone wants, I'll do it." So I don't feel that amok's," Yes, if forced to." when talking about Zchinque's stance was that far from the truth.
Telika: My PM mentions nothing about my skiing ability, but then again the opening flavour post pretty much says that none of the townies can actually ski. Would you be so kind as to reveal your skiing ability.
*Thank you to JMich for getting that post to work on the forum.
