IronyOwl:Nolynch instashortening tomorrow would be incredibly risky, but potentially a valid idea. More specifically, I'm wondering if maybe some sort of mad dash like that is the intended way to go about this. The only problem is that it'd require rooting out scum to be either impossible or not worth it.
I still think the nolynch is much too risky. The "bunch" comment is too ominous. Depending on Meph's answer regarding the rest duration, though, we may still try to vote someone like Dariush (the next scummiest in my mind), and shortening right away; or shortening after 24 hours so we have a chance to realistically catch a breather/rest a bit before starting to run again sooner than the captors expect it.
ToonyMan:If I can do that then sure I'll try SHIFTING.
If that worked, the only thing it would prove is that you are in fact a dopp. Not exactly a reason not to lynch you, yes?
Also I hate how everybody is playing with mechanics with the mod but nobody accepts trying the no-lynch or lynching Bookthras. :\
a) you still haven't said what lynching me would accomplish, beyond comparing some flavour; I ask you again, what would you learn from lynching me if the flavour is "sigh" instead of "oh noes!" or viceversa? Or how would it "buy time" when compared to lynching
you?b) According to Meph, he is not outright lying when he answers questions. He answered the question about the nolynch:
The whole idea behind leaving someone behind is for them to slow down your chasers so the rest of you escape. If you decide not to leave anyone behind, you are more likely to get a bunch of you caught. At least, that's what's happened so far during this escape.
It is, according to him, what we are able to deduce from our perspective. Is it 100% sure? probably not, but close enough that if we decide to nolynch, we are more likely to lose a bunch of people; at least, that's what's happened so far (i.e., our characters already tried that before the game started, and lost "a bunch" of people). Why would we try it again? Or do you think Meph lies when he states he won't outright lie?
