[17:14:22] ‹MasterWalks› what is the purpose of lynching root? to see if hes lying? if he is, we may have just lynched a valuable ability. If he isnt, all we did is shut him up; and he's not even talking much lol. isnt it a wasted lynch at this point?
[17:16:04] ‹dawn_to_dusk› Personally, I am not sending Root any information until he's dead
[17:16:28] ‹dawn_to_dusk› And I strongly advise others to do the same
[17:17:11] ‹dawn_to_dusk› Aside from maybe stuff like Firefly
[17:17:24] ‹MasterWalks› at this point, i dont trust (almsot) anybody enough to share information
[17:17:49] ‹dawn_to_dusk› If Root dies, we can send information though
[17:18:30] ‹dawn_to_dusk› The whole point of the plan is to get information to someone who can make use of it
[17:19:23] ‹dawn_to_dusk› With the amount of informative roles, Root will get a lot of information very quickly
[17:20:28] ‹MasterWalks› thats only one vote that we influence. If i read the rules right, he cant use his vote to communicate.
[17:21:44] ‹dawn_to_dusk› Sure, but it would be the most educated vote in the game
[17:22:08] ‹dawn_to_dusk› Honestly we can No Lynch until Root votes for someone
[17:22:21] ‹MasterWalks› how is that enforced? If we gave him a ton of info, and he votes to lynch, what is stopping us from just following suit with his vote?
[17:22:25] ‹dawn_to_dusk› And be 100% certain they're mafia
[17:22:28] ‹dawn_to_dusk› But that plan is too risky
[17:22:44] ‹dawn_to_dusk› ‹@MasterWalks› Nothing, that's the point
[17:22:51] ‹dawn_to_dusk› Town can't make Root break the rules
[17:22:58] ‹dawn_to_dusk› Phoenix, rather
[17:23:04] ‹MasterWalks› oh pfft, lets hang root then
[17:23:08] ‹dawn_to_dusk› Since there is still speculation about it
[17:23:27] ‹dawn_to_dusk› Root can receive pm's but cannot send them
[17:23:33] ‹MasterWalks› thats fine
[17:24:06] ‹MasterWalks› i was thinking it would be a rule breaker if root votes and we all just vote what he votes on since in a sense, that is communication through vote
[17:24:31] ‹dawn_to_dusk› He is allowed 1 post, that post may only be a vote, and town cannot set up a thing of "Vote twice if someone is Firefly" or something
[17:24:52] ‹dawn_to_dusk› I think Link said it best
[17:24:54] ‹MasterWalks› ahh i see
[17:25:07] ‹dawn_to_dusk› Let me get the quote, I've been pestering him a lot about the limits to this
[17:25:41] ‹dawn_to_dusk› [01:47:13] ‹Linkcat› They can say, "Ash voted for rob twice so he must be mafia." They can't say "Ash, vote for rob twice if he's mafia."
[17:26:30] ‹MasterWalks› i see. that makes sense. So yea insig is right, its basically a win win
[17:26:39] ‹dawn_to_dusk›
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-game... It's at the bottom of this post
[17:27:17] ‹dawn_to_dusk› I mean it does mean we kill a town instead of someone who could be mafia, but it's the best of the worst
[17:27:42] ‹MasterWalks› well we have no public information that anyone could be mafia
[17:27:44] ‹dawn_to_dusk› And with Vulture, mafia Pharaoh to kill a priority role is a terrible idea
[17:28:06] ‹MasterWalks› so yea i agree, root is the best option we have
