This is in reference to the Monty lynch. Helpful, yet safe post.



An OK argument. But if he is scum and knows I am innocent then it is a great argument to try to get me lynched. You look for opportunities like this to come across as helpful townie and try to direct the lynch. I posted a defense to my actions in thread, but arjos doesn’t react until the next Day, after I vote for him again:



Not lynching anyone on the face of it sounds like a good idea for the town to do. Less townies dead is the overall goal, and lynchees are usually townie. This is a counterproductive strategy though as it allows the scum to survive as well and do bad things to the town at night. Lynching is a town’s main, and usually only, weapon. To not use it is a big detriment to the town effort. This is especially true in a cult game, and cult undertones are present in this game.

Arjos continues to push my lynch based on this false reasoning, until I let on more about my role and Lazy and I “team up” on the Ishmael lynch. It is no longer likely that Lazy or I will be lynched this day, so to try to save his partner, Arjos jumps on a really off statement by DaveShack in hopes of starting a counter wagon.

Cue Robbiecon who (with his second post of the game I believe) lends his support to the DaveShack lynch after DaveShack also votes for Ishmael:



Now Robbie could be strategically choosing his time to get back in the game to save Ishmael as well. This is a distinct possibility. It is also possible that both Arjos and Robbie are Ishmael's team members, and both are scum. Ishmael dutifully changes his vote to DaveShack as well in an attempt to save himself. On the face of it the vote is now a 3-3 tie, and it quite possibly has worked.

Neither Arjos nor Robbie pull back from the DaveShack vote after I point out the obvious flaw in their reasoning: DaveShack is too good and careful of a player to make such a blatantly scummy statement like he did if he were indeed scum.

Bottom line – I think Arjos and Robbie are quite scummy here. Arjos consistently making “good” arguments to try to get an innocent lynched, yet still staying in the background and not really being talkative or upfront in any other way. Robbie for his lurktastic performance and his swoop at the end to try to save one of his buddies. I’m fine with either one of them for the lynch, but have a better feel for Arjos, which is why I put him first.

Arjos – feel free to post more about yourself to help with this decision. Robbie you too.
Good. I share your instincts about Dave and also your reasoning behind Robbiecons' vote as a last ditch vote to save Ishmael. For that reason I figure Robbiecon is most suspect.
