I don't think anybody has forgotten previous targets. I sure haven't.

I'll vote Tennes sure, but can I just be serious for one second and point something out?


We still keep switching targets. Now, I know this is being done because of the increasing frustration over the Sacrosancting and wanting to find someone who won't be around to do it, but there's a danger in forgetting about the previosu targets. It gives them a chance to start focusing on things other than getting enough Worship together. It allows them to build their strength back up.

In my opinion, I honestly feel it is worth it to keep voting away at one of the previous no-lynchers. No, we may not get them lynched, BUT even then we will constantly confirm their location and someone with attacking capabilities will come along to take them out.


Bah. There you go bringing logic, reasoning, and facts.
Not that I disagree with your points.

I don't disagree but a big part of lynching in a game like this is expanding public knowledge and when we get the no-lynches we get a lot of that on the target players. For example we all know now that Fener was in the northern desert and seems to have strong worship production. That's significant info compared to what we publicly know about most players and so it is worthwhile I think to go for getting info on players whom we know little about.

And in this case we don't have the time for a no-lynch and then a turnaround. Plus isn't there something intensely gratifying about finally actually getting a lynch?!

I am still rather gobstruck by the lack of public info.
About the only thing I can say with any degree of certainty is Spite got hijacked by the hadj and is on Mordor.

TS and OE, are either of you willing or planning on voting for Tennes? Are either of you even online anymore?

If they're in any way reluctant to vote for Tennes there are connections to be made.

If they are online, and not going to vote, I doubt they'll speak up.

Exactly why I want to know whether or not TS and OE will vote for Tennes. That will help make some information strings.

oic

Well I guess it's because most faction games you know your leader or your leader knows you but in this game that is not the case. Eventually people will probably figure out their teammates through one means or another but for the first several days at least everyone's kinda running blind.

Ruse and I were suffering from that earlier. I'm pretty sure that is how the "vote ano" thing got started. Along with the lurker timer. :twoguns:
