Its better than "no lynch" my dear, since it is in effect a "roleblock". But you are right, you don't need to like or participate in it.

Imprisonment by vote is useless. The only way we will catch the murderer during the day is by exile.

**Romanic** · 07-13-2010, 02:36

How is it useless? If someone is imprisoned and a murder occur, we will know for certain that he is not the killer. That's useful. It looks better than a real lynch, because we don't have any information to deal with.

So what are you going to do if there is no death tonight? Assume the imprisoned one is guilty, so you spend two days lynching one person? Assume there's a chance it was a frame and spend several days keeping that person in prison just to be sure? And what if there is a kill? Assume the person locked up is innocent, then get stabbed in the back five days down the line when it turns out they were only the killer's backup partner? What you get out of something like this is information, but it's not very useful information. All it really is is an excuse to do nothing.

Are you volunteering to do your duty of slaining as many darkspawn as possible before your demise, my lady, opposed to imprisonment?

No, I am not volunteering to die.

Renata has explained it perfectly.

We must exile those we suspect. Imprisonment is not a viable option during the day time.

**TheFlax** · 07-13-2010, 03:54

Of course... If only we had a suspect in the first place...

And Renata, I said that "Imprison" is better than "No Lynch", not that you should think its the best move ever.

**Romanic** · 07-13-2010, 04:07

Imprisoning is the best move ever at this point.

Let's keep our numbers high, while gathering some information, and make sure that a hasty lynch does not turn against us.

Keeping numbers high, whilst leaving high numbers of townies, also removes the chance of killing the real perpetrators. I'm sure if I were to post more in-character it would sound something like:

Nonsense, fool! The Dwarven Kingdom will not stand by whilst our ranks are infiltrated by king-killers. We must act fast, brothers, and take vengeance upon those who seek to wreak havoc upon our lands. There is little time to waste imprisoning! Let the mauls and greatswords rain blows upon our enemies! Let their blood run down the Diamond Quarters and into the Deep Roads!
