    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

    If you're a townie, lynching me loses the game, woad, so reverse course.

    If you're a mafia, lynching me wins you the game, and you're the better lynch of the two of us.

    This assumes that you are innocent. If you are mafia, then all you have to do is control the course of the discussion today and you win. I know that you are more than capable of doing this and there is a confirmed innocent claiming that you (or Renata) are likely behind the killings.

    Yes, so of course you choose incorrectly. But at least the dead guy told you to do it.

    I don't buy it, scum.

    edit:
    Waiting for some dead, confirmed innocent to suggest an incorrect lynch, at this stage of the game, is the most common (and most effective) way of getting another failed lynch and a victory for mafia.

    What you just did is hugely scummy. I've been waiting for you to make a mistake, and this is it, woadsy.

    Waiting for me to make a mistake? I didn't realize I was under the watchful eye of the Pizzaguy Bureau of Investigation. You may as well admit it, I only appear "scummy" to you now that I'm threatening you. If you and your partner really think that you can win by trying to out-argue me you're welcome to try but I don't think the town is so enamored with you they think you are beyond suspicion.

    You're only threatening me now because it is convenient.

    I find your suspicions of me to be convenient, seeing as they've only shown up now, and only after a dead proven innocent suggested it. You are trying to steal his credibility and use it to gain a bad lynch. But that added credibility is an illusion. You are using the dead as an excuse to vote for me now, and the convenient timing bothers me, especially when one false lynch loses.

    In my experience, you would have accused me earlier if you thought I was really scummy. You don't feel confident enough to bring me down without using the credibility of the dead as a crutch.

    The argument you just used is a false one, too. It is not a matter of out-arguing you, that doesn't matter. What matters is who is guilty. Your actions denote guilt.

    I don't think the town is so enamored with you they think you are beyond suspicion.
    This is an appeal to something, and it sure isn't logic. I never said I was beyond suspicion, no one has said that. You're arguing something that exists only as a talking point to make me die, regardless of its non-reality.

    You're a scumbag, pure and simple. But please, continue talking, I find this all fascinating.

    Vanilla mafia game strategy for woad&fangs:

    Round 1: "Random vote: Renata"

    This cannot be defined as a suspicious vote by anyone except Renata. Therefore, it is the safest move. It also joined no bandwagon, therefore it attracts no attention.

    Split votes for you.

    He's dead.

    Round 2: Vote: Beskar "admit your guilt!"

    "Admit your guilt?" Seems fake to me. Doesn't match the tone of your other posts.

    ArpeggiateTHIS votes for you.

    He's dead.

    Perhaps I fingered your scum buddy, Apreg....

    Yeah except you didn't, because they are both dead.

    I'm not lurking post.

    Adds nothing to the discussion.

    Unvote, vote: Arpeg

    Following my bandwagon, which is convenient for you because it eliminates the guy that just voted for you.

    Next round: Vote Beskar

    After he votes to kill himself, you top it on the excuse that he voted for himself, therefore he must be guilty. If so, he would have unvoted himself.

    Bad vote again.... but hey, voting for anyone else would look both pointless and suspicious, and we can't have that now can we.

    Next round: Dead proven innocent mentions my name as a suspect.

    Woad: Care to elaborate?

    As if you cared what his reasons were.

    I vote for Renata.

    Following up on my suspicions from yesterday, based on who was killed.

    I'll give you a hint: mafia typically toss their votes on a lot of different people. The logical follow-up on Renata is not usually indicative of mafia.

    Opportunistic voting is, though. Such as:

    Immediately after I vote for Renata, you vote for me.

    Tactical.

    • A dead innocent finds me suspect.
    • I'm voting for someone else... now, I have made someone else find me more suspicious. Renata is more likely to vote for me than not.
    • You don't have to explain your vote.
    • The timing is perfect. I die, you win.


    A perfect storm of scummy!



    Your arguments since then have stunk like a pile of rotting corpses. Which is fitting, considering you're responsible for one.
