This seems to be a very weird statement. Scum want lynches as much as if not more then town do. Especially if they are not the ones being lynched. How do you figure that a no lynch benefits scum?
I feel like you have been a helpful towny and making points but every so often you drop a line that is full of completely wrong reasoning and it starts to make me suspicious of you again.
Actually, THIS seems a very weird statement to me. Lynching is (or, perhaps rather, should be) a town power. As a result, town want lynches more. Scum have the kill ability, right, so they always have another way of knocking off players even if there is a no lynch, while town (as a whole, discounting finders and the like) only have that one method available to them as a group with which to eliminate suspects.
In addition, what is meant by, 'Especially if they are not the ones being lynched.' This seems a redundant statement, seemingly designed to strengthen the previous statement but actually just looks foolish - of course scum would not want lynches if they are the ones being lynched (indeed, the way it's worded, Kas seems to actually suggest that to some extent scum would still want a lynch even if they were the ones up on the scaffold!).
A no lynch can benefit scum in a way that it does not benefit town - by continuing to keep the list of suspects high for them to hide in. Not to mention (even though I'm about to), of course, that if they indeed are the ones on the chopping block, the no lynch would certainly benefit them.
In sum, Kaschan's post seems to attempt to heap pressure, but instead damages himself with its own dodgy reasoning.
