    Because the FBI will win if we keep nolynching. But perhaps you already knew that
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    And what? Vote for Tevash and have people jump on me for lynching on poor evidence? No thank you, I have to defend myself from Khaan enough .

    Seriously, how do you know the FBI would win? Are you in fact certain of that? What evidence clearly points to the FBI winning if we do not lynch everyday to find him? What convinces you Tevash is the FBI agent? Please state clearly why your in a sure fire mood to lynch at all?

    The criminals on board the ship have again decided to spare one another. The clock is ticking... if we are to make a move, it has to be now.

    The observation continues, and nobody suspects a thing, but the situation is dangerous. That's what I signed up for.


    I agree with W&F. It sounds like we need to catch the FBI agent quickly.

    I looked at that and interpreted it in a different way then you. To me, it would be very unfair to impose a time limit on the town, so in my mind, it's merely stating that the FBI Agents time is running out, not the towns. That is my opinion of the current situation.

    As for WF vote however, how is it founded? He voted for me on the basis that I did not lynch Tevash - if the Agent is Tevash, then vote Tevash, correct?

    I want to say here, I am loving this discussion. Everyone is doing a fairly good job at thinking critically and keeping an open mind.

    Well, it seemed clear enough to me that we were running out of time. I think it would make for an extremely boring game if the town sat around and didn't lynch and the mafia sat around and didn't kill. In fact, if the town and mafia aren't trying to kill each other, it doesn't make for much of a game at all.

    So I would therefore reason that since the FBI Agent's goal is to get rid of us all, he must have some other method to doing it than killing one of us each night. Perhaps that method is a time limit: some sort of a helicopter raid or something, that would take a certain amount of days to reach the tanker. We need to get rid of the Agent before he can order that attack.

    I see YLC as looking for more reasons to stall, and that stands out as scummy to me.

    Again, I am not drawing the same conclusion you are about our time to catch the FBI agent, that would be very unfair to the town if we had only a mere handful of turns to lynch someone, and it unfairly tips the balance of the game in favor of the FBI agent. Your making snap judgements based on unprovable data, or even nonexistant data.

    Your all willing to jump on me for voting no lynch, but in my eyes the FBI agent is not Tevash, and so I went with what I thought was the best option. Were not going to get many clues in this game people, ATPG said so himself, so we can't just go lynch crazy and hope something comes up in the write ups - we have to depend on verbal discussion to win this one, between ourselves.

    I am not stalling, that's a ridiculous notion. I advocate the use of the lynch, but I advocate it's use wisely - IMHO we would have gained, if not lost, something if we lynched Tevash, and so I took IMHO, the best course of action.

    That said, no one yet has explained the logic behind why I should have voted for Tevash reasonably well yet.

    Does that mean that you hate the discussion, and that everyone is thinking in a close minded manner?

    Umm......someone forgot to put salt into the shark tanks so all of them died. We got the laser beams, but they're just laser pointers and don't really do much damage unless you stare at it
