I agree with Shadeun that no lynch seems particularly unwise if we're facing a growing cult. (If that was indeed what he meant.)

That is a part of it. But also: if Number of Scum > Number of Town then we maximise win chance from lynching randomly as attrition/waiting (due to night kills) will definitely whittle down town.

I do agree with the statement (Rowains?) that if this (#Scum+#Cult>#Town) is the case then town win looks harder and harder though. Bit easier after Fenn lynch.

No. IMO it will depend on what happens tonight if it was good for town or not but honestly I think town was f** from start. You are natural quite happy someone from an enemy scumteam was lynched because that gives your party more power.

So... We're not allowed to be happy that we lynched scum anymore.

If there are no nightkills no Lynch is the right way as it keeps everything in balance. If it was just coincidence that there was no NK last night then its maybe different.

rolleye Let's maintain balance with noone dying until the end of the game! When does the game end? When we're all part of the borg!

Pretty clearly you are not playing for the village.

Cheer up Lewwyn, maybe by tomorrow morning we'll have joined him.

Shadeun, I see that you have come to understand the dark art of distancing, but in this case I can assure you I am not with Novice. I moved off him because I had made a case and after 2 days you were the only one who was joining me there. So I went with Fenn, who I also thought was scummy and looking scummier as the day went on, while Novice played it pretty tight.

I still have a gut-feel that Novice is bad based on his play Day/Night 1, but I guess he's not a fascist, he wouldn't have let scum-buddy Fenn die like that. So I will look more broadly tomorrow.

So far we have no proof that there is anything like a growing cult or any cult at all.
The facts we have are:
Gore never appealed to village only towards scum.
Fenn turned up brown
No NK during night 1
A mysterious note with a maybe there is a cult maybe there is not and maybe it doesn't mean anything.

AFAIK a cult doesn't really play a role during Spanish civilwar and in Hemingways novel.

WI did abit of digging about the For whom the bell tolls and found the poem:
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

Going from that every death hurts everyone of us.

@Gazglum
At the start I wanted to lynch but as the day went on and started to think about 3 teams and thought about Goreripper I became more and more unsure about the wisdom to kill anyone.

@Lewwyn tell me your factions name. More precisely tell me the first 3 sentences in your role PM.

It seems clear that the novel is the inspiration for the setup, and that the poem is the inspiration for the novel's title.

The novel is about "the brutality of civil war", and there is certainly room for multiple scum factions given that plot summary.

Sure, there's no explicit reference to a cult in the plot summary, but there's nothing about a war reporter, either.
If you know what I mean.

By the way, I don't think we strengthened any opposing scum factions by lynching a fascist. We just weakened the fascists. Our power relative to any other scum factions remains unchanged.

Hemmingway was a reporter for spanish civil war.

I think we killed Hemmingway day1

Actually, correction: you guys killed hemmingway day1

I wonder how many angry pms/posts in scum threads Bob received after that question.

That's true if you are non-fascist scum. If you are town its wrong.
