Korlat, we know that Republicans and Brutii are both a man down, whereas Julii are not. Seems to me that the Order of Death is pretty clear.
You've been very reluctant to discuss Thyr today, has to be said. Too close to home?
I suppose the reduced numbers of the Republican and Brutii factions do add a bit of weight to it.
I've been holding off on Thyr for two reasons:
1) I still think that we can afford to leave him another day - no Julii have been killed yet, so there is still a reasonable chance in my eyes that as a result the Julii are unable to recruit. One of the most persuasive points to me in the case for lynching Thyr today was that with all the mass reveals tomorrow we might have end up lynching on the grounds of the new information and letting Thyr slide into the late game rather dangerously. However, with the reveal deadline pushed back another day, that is no longer the case. If we can find a good case today, then I feel we should keep the knowledge we do have relevant and go with that instead. Having said that, one of the assumptions that is predicated upon is that there is a good chance that Thyrllan will get NKed, but the fact that there is no evidence that an NK attempt was made last night makes me less confident in that assertion.
2) The lynch train has been picking up votes fairly regularly and quickly throughout the day thus far, and I felt that we need more discussion time than we'd be giving ourselves at the current rates. Hence me holding off.
As I have repeatedly said before, if nothing else presents itself today, then Thyrllan is still a good choice. But I'd prefer to give it a little time before I jump on the train.
