Squill:
Is that first question rhetorical? In case it isn't, I think that it is much easier to influence the game if people jump on your bandwagon for no good reason.
It is only rhetorical if it concludes, in that matter.
...
So how are people jumping on a bandwagon an influence to the game? Does it not matter their intent or how/why they do so? Why do you use the 'bandwagon' as a term there? You do know that it has a negative meaning when used in Mafia, yes?
People jumping on a bandwagon influences the game by blindly following people, leading to the lynch of people without proper investigation.
Their intent is indeed important, but I believe that intent is separate from influence. I think that a lazy scum and a lazy town will both gladly jump on any mildly convincing bandwagon, leading to the same results. If someone yells "Attack!" loud enough, then someone who doesn't feel like forming their own opinion will obey. I use the term bandwagon because that's what it is; someone says something and other people follow.
I suspect it is possible that this game is going to go until two of the three players are ready to say 'we are done'. I believe this is going to happen regardless of the holidays (I myself will be mostly unable to check in from late Wednesday night to some time Friday, I'll be traveling/without computer access for much of the time, and with family and without significant computer access for the rest).
Indeed. I'm unlikely to be free too much for the a week or so, and Imp has clearly stated that she is not changing her vote.
I think it's either end here, or extend for another week. I think it's up to you whether to extend or not, Tiruin.
Tiruin's willing to lynch you. I'd need to dance, maybe. I could pick on your not very good Towniness. Then Tiruin and I 'shake hands' and lynch the 'most probable Scum', that being you, and I win.

Imp: I just noticed looked over this, and I must say that Tiruin being willing to lynch me is not a bad thing. I think that in this game, you can't be unwilling to lynch anyone. Also, teaming up with Tiruin to turn on me would be a very scum move; just forgetting your case on Tiruin to lynch me would be a clear attempt not to lynch a scum, but to get the only lynch you could. That looks to me like saying, "Well, I didn't do this thing, so I can't be scum!"
