    I understand Zack's decision. If the round is almost over, and Double A is not convinced after all the work Zack put into it, Zack's only option is to either be stubborn and get lynched, or to play the "if I am wrong" game and try to lynch anyone but himself.

    In my opinion, Zack's choice is tactically correct, even if it doesn't win the game. He didn't have that many options left and he needed to make a decision to save the game, and his options were down to either stand pat and await his death, or try to lynch the only person available to him.

    Under time pressure and having to leave, I think Zack can leave this game knowing he tried all the available options.

    If he had time to sit and try to convince Double A more, then perhaps keep to your convictions is better. But, I've made decisions like that many times. In final 3, the other townie needs to vote correctly or I will self-pres.

    To be fair, you have one of the goofiest faces I've ever seen this game. Perhaps spitting in it was pure reflex, or like a defensive mechanism, like recoiling in confusion and being startled.

    My goodness there are some goofy looking Birds. I laughed my butt off just looking at these pictures.

    Great potoo is not as goofy looking overall as the one with inflatable chin boobs, but those eyes and the ridiculous facial expressions means it wins goofiest damned bird.

    I was worried that giving town masons and a doctor would be OP. I made the masons a bit weaker as a result.

    I still think that the mason lynch almost never happens. Was a fluke that both masons were away when the lynch was on one of them. Also, if they were forced to claim, simply shooting the correct lover-mason would cause both to die.

    I think a doctor realistically protects only once per game unless they get lucky, so khaan missing isn't a terribly big deal. There were still enough rounds to find the scums.

    Scum's advantage going into a three man standoff: they choose the jury.

    If Zack is alive in lylo, scum always win.

    - Either Zack is scum and somehow squeaks out the victory through his butt

    - Or Zack is town and is lynched, ignored, and/or wrong (probably all three)

    Though, I'm pretty sure scum win in lylo the vast majority of the time. Especially if it's lylo with more than 1 scum.

    Because you have to get two townies to unite together to defeat the scum. Anyone who has been town recognizes the folly in such a task.

    Unfortunately, I got wiped out when I got a fix on GH as the Mafia.

    I've just remembered that Zack was right, he managed to spot my final comment where I complained about people thinking that there was one ‘Cat’ killer instead of more than one.
