So your knowledge may not be so incongruous after all. I guess I will unvote Worldmaster27.

Scripten, what makes you so eager to lynch a clueless random townsperson?

, why are you advocating the lynch of the person voting you for no other reason than that he is voting for you? Also, there's that townclaim there that really doesn't make you seem like you're town at all.

Can you explain this a bit more? We actually do need to lynch someone today.

I feel it would be in my own best interest (and also that of the town) if we lynched a non-idiot.

KP: Can you explain why you think that lynching someone who is contributing would help town? I'd also like to hear why you listed that it would be in your best interests to kill someone who was a "non-idiot."

Someone who is contributing is more likely to actually kill people (and not, for example miss the deadline however it is nightkills work). I consider the train wreck of miscommunication and blunders coming from my end to be the mark of a typical idiot.

KP: Well, yeah. Killing people is the name of the game. We can't win if we don't have people scumhunting.

Scum don't need to be active during the day to be able to kill at night. There's a reason we look for lurking.

An inactive town is a dead town.

I also wouldn't mind if you answered that second question:
KP: Can you explain why you think that lynching someone who is contributing would help town? I'd also like to hear why you listed that it would be in your best interests to kill someone who was a "non-idiot."

A non-idiot is a non-trivial threat whichever side said non-idiot is on. Actually, I guess I am starting to contradict stuff from earlier, although a bunch of the answers really depended on mood more than proper logic. Of course, it would be nice to fix all the idiots (or lynch them, as you seem to want), but based only on what I know, they are just as likely to be x (where x is either town or scum).

Salsacookies: Assuming you are the cop; how would you go about day 1?
4maskwolf: You seem to be quite active on the forums, please answer my question:
4maskwolf, if you were town, who would you lynch d1 if you were stuck between two options: the player who makes few posts, or the player who makes many worthless posts?
Kilojoule Proton: The reason why Scripten voted for you can be found in the following post:
Scripten: What oportunistic behavior or evasiveness have you found in KJ's post? If anything, he seems to give more information than needed

He's not made any effort to scumhunt, instead focusing on making timid pushes with no real weight to them. What's with the FoS? Why not just vote me?
As for the following quote:

An idiot however is quite useful for scum; A scrapegoat to deviate attention from themselves. yet as you say, an idiot could also be scum. still there is some information to be gained from the idiot's death: namely what their alignment is. That is still not all, there is the some useful analysis to be gained from the lynch. such as scum distancing themselves from the lynch, scum being in the middle of the bandwagon, town knowing that the idiot really was an idiot.

GayArchaea: Why are you voting 4maskwolf instead of KP? I am finding it telling that you aren't really trying to figure out who scum is, just trying to push a lynch on someone convenient.

(Btw, you only have to vote for someone once to have it count.)

It is mostly because of 4maskwolf's lack of a response to my question despite him being recently active on the forums, such as posting on the not-so-beginner's mafia that he'll be watching the match.

People really really need to get into this game. We have only a day and a few hours to decide on a lynch target.

4maskwolf: Please come play with us. We miss you!

Is it typically possible for town to side with scum at least temporarily?
