I have found a link at the very bottom of the page that says "Bookmark topic". Could this be the sought subscription thing?

We can't do that.

Modrony, how do you know this? I don't see this stated in the opening post or the previous thread...

It's how the game usually works.
Could be different here, but I doubt it.
Bad guys use the night-time to kill one of us and they can't do that without knowing each other, can they?

@God and @AssistantGod: Is this how the game works?

@Shoal: nope, as far as I can tell bookmarking and subscriptions are different things (they have two different panels in the User CP), and bookmarking the topic doesn't do what we want.

Hello, I am PlainDealingVillain (or PDV, or Villain, though I am not currently a villain). As my name suggests, I am morally questionable but honest about it. I am honest about most things, lies are annoying and inconvenient. And I definitely did not kill Cricket.

And while we could definitely try to deduce signal from the finger-pointing noise, the more we try to do that the more noisy finger-pointing gets, and that's going to have very mixed results. So I'll vote no lynch as well.

PlainDealingVillain, has your villainy always been of a non-murderous nature?

@Alicorn: Try this?

I am pretty sure I haven't killed anybody. Except by not donating money to charities, which shouldn't count.* I'd rather stick to being unashamedly selfish and occasionally making unpleasant people's lives intensely unpleasant.



*though it sort of does in my head.

I’m glad I don’t feel compelled to roleplay Pen speaking¹, because I doubt my ability to convincingly replicate the specific grammatical mistakes.

@Alicorn
Ok, that’s fair. I was thinking that roleplaying for backstory and roleplaying for strategy would be at least mostly different when I asked. I think it is strategically sound for the non-killers to vote No Lynch today, and I either am not a killer or value the appearance of not being a killer enough that I also think it’s the right choice for my character. I will admit some of the decision was based on wanting everybody to get at least one chance at a nighttime, because that’s when all the exciting stuff happens and I’d be disappointed if I had an interesting character and died before I could do anything with it. However, if I had sufficient strategic reason to vote for lynching somebody, I would have done let that take priority.


¹ There are a number of reasons I might feel this way. For example, I might not have the Pen role, or I might feel that we are currently writing instead of speaking and I could use my ingot power, or I might not feel compelled to roleplay at all and merely be defending others’ rights to do so.
² High five!

Right? Your analysis is (deliberately?) leaving out the fact that it seems almost certain that we're going to vote No Lynch regardless of what you personally do.

If I knew for sure that I wanted, say, Mari (who I'm using as an example because she's not playing, thus minimizing true or false information from finger pointing) dead, that would be a strategic reason to try to lynch her. If I expected that voting against her would hurt me in some way, it would not be sufficient strategic reason. I stand by the first quote.

I was the second person to say No Lynch. That was not obvious when I said it. I don't stand by that second quote, though, solely because I failed to proofread it carefully enough and it is grammatically awkward.
