Would the lyncher not win also? Being a villager, he/she would not stand to benefit if the townies were to all die.
But they already won. It would be pretty ridiculous, forcing someone to win twice in a row, with second time as a confirmed town, thus being a primary target for an NK.

That's a good point.

I'll have to think about that, but right now, I'll just revise it to Removed from Game.

Oh. I was under the impression that the lyncher kept his role a secret, even after the deed was completed. His victory would not be announced, and the only prize for killing Player X would be the removal of any necessity to do anything suspicious from then onward.

Tuesday-Wednesdayish next week, if all goes well. There's a lot of flavour to write. You can sign up now, since signups end Sunday.

Damn, that's even better. Gah.

Maybe the lyncher should simply leave play when he wins?

Pretty much. You should know don't you.

That would be no fun...

The night only one player is killed instead of two indicates that the lyncher was either killed the previous night, or has completed the deed and has become a townie.
-For the scum, it is preferable to kill the lyncher over any townie. Two deaths a night (indicating the lyncher is still at work) rather than one increases the per-night chances for scum to die, and the fact that the lyncher may become a townie is just salt in the wounds. Especially if Player X is scum.
-The townies themselves cannot distinguish the lyncher from scum, so while the townies may not care to target him specifically, any blunder the lyncher might make would mark him as scum immediately, and the hammer would drop.

Oooh, I am so excited! This is going to be delightfully complicated!

Wait what? Lynchers can't NK.

Oh. I overlooked that bit...
Well, I guess the lyncher would play like a cop that inspects a player each night, then. Not nearly as dramatic.
EDIT: If anything, Player X should probably need to hide something that would potentially make him stand out, and not be confused as scum to the townies. Otherwise, the lyncher would have to guess rather than deduce who it is.

Lynchers know who their target is from the start and they don't have any special powers. That is the start and the end of it.

I must be over-speculating, then...
Heh. I am sorry for reading into your rules, lordnincompoop.
